A TOTAL VICTORY PACKAGE

Unless you understand that it was written for our example; the testimony of Abel in scripture can discourage you. A young man gains acceptance and righteousness with God through faith. The next thing we see is he dies by the wicked hand of his brother who gave himself to be used by Satan. That is not exactly a good motivation for anyone to seek to be righteous and please God.


WHAT IS THE LESSON WE CAN LEARN FROM ABEL? Faith is not only for our eternal salvation; it is also for our temporal salvation and victory.


We know that Hebrews Chapter 11 is the Bible hall of fame of faith. But if you look closely you will discover that it covers all aspects of life - depending on how you choose to apply your faith. 


Abel's faith represents the most fundamental, the most important, aspect of our faith; which is the eternal salvation of our souls. Though he is physically dead, he is alive spiritually.


"BY FAITH Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was RIGHTEOUS, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks." (Hebrews 11:4).


TEMPORAL VICTORIES


But in the same chapter we discover other testimonies of faith for temporal deliverance and preservation. For example about Moses it is written:


"THROUGH FAITH he kept the passover, and the SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them." (Hebrews 11:28).


And about Rahab the harlot it says this:


"BY FAITH the harlot Rahab PERISHED NOT with them that BELIEVED NOT, when she had received the spies with peace." (Hebrews 11:31).


She was not just saved spiritually, she was also preserved with her extended family. If you read her full story in Joshua Chapter 2 (and 6) you will find that it was about the saving and protective power of faith in the blood.


No wonder Paul commanded us by the Spirit to completely apply our faith. 


"Above all, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith you shall be able to quench ALL the fiery darts of the WICKED." (Ephesians 6:16).


PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER


"In the name of Jesus, I receive grace and wisdom to apply faith in the blood of Jesus Christ for all things (that pertains to life and godliness). By faith in the blood I am free indeed. I shall never be a victim of the enemy. I am saved, protected, preserved, provided for and prospering by faith in the blood of Jesus. I raise the blood of Jesus Christ as the standard of God against the enemy in all departments of my life. My going out is blessed. My coming in is blessed. I am delivered from all evil. I am completely kept by the power of God; me and my family. Thank you Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen!

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Introduction: Leadership as a Sacred Trust Leadership is more than a position—it is a covenant responsibility. Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions . On the other hand, King David’s response shows the  hallmarks of a wise and just leader  who seeks guidance, upholds justice, and values integrity. If you are in a leadership role— whether leading a family, a company, a church, or a nation —these insights are for you. A Leader’s Actions Have Lasting Consequences 1. Ignorance is No Excuse ...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
