Speaking From the Throne: When the Word First Confront the Preacher


December 26,2025

The Word of God is like a double-edged sword—powerful, living, and piercing on both sides. When I speak the Word of God, it is not meant only for the congregation or the audience; it is meant for me as well. If the sword of the Word does not first cut my own heart, convict me, and cause me to examine myself, then no matter how eloquent or beautiful the sermon may sound, I have not truly spoken for God.

Speaking on behalf of God is not an opportunity to attack others, vent frustration, or respond indirectly to personal offenses within the congregation. The pulpit is not a place for emotional retaliation or human agendas. It is a sacred space meant to reveal the mind and heart of God.

Every message must come from the throne of God. Personal opinions, trends, or recycled messages have no place there. I have observed many sermons that are merely echoes of what is popular, what is trending, or what another preacher has said. But if one cannot speak from God’s presence, it is better to step aside and allow those who have truly accessed the throne to minister to the people.

God is a God of variety. Three prophets or servants of God may speak, and though their expressions differ, their messages will align because they originate from the same throne. Why then should anyone become the mouthpiece of another man instead of the mouthpiece of God?

My prayer is that this generation—and generations to come, if Jesus tarries—will continually carry messages that flow from the throne of God. May our present ministers not become stumbling blocks, but faithful examples, leading others in truth and humility, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

No Room for Crawling: The Three Dimensions of Divine Progress

Image
November 2,2025 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) In the agenda of the Lord for His people, there is no room for crawling. Every believer is designed to be in motion — to advance, grow, and ascend in the divine order of grace. The least a believer can do is walk, for the life of the Spirit has no provision for stagnation. Those who wait upon the Lord are not only renewed but are divinely empowered to operate in three progressive realms of movement — mounting up, running, and walking. Each dimension carries a distinct purpose yet leads to one destination: fruitful and victorious living in Christ. 1. Mounting Up with Wings as Eagles — The Realm of Dominion Waiting on the Lord brings you to a realm of spiritual elevation. You rise above earthly limitations and ascend into your heavenly position in Christ Jesus, seated abov...

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer March 23,2025 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1-8, Matthew 6:5-15, Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer is one of the most essential modes of conversation between God and humanity, allowing us to express our hearts before our Maker. Prayer not only helps us navigate life's challenges but also empowers us to overcome spiritual battles. Unfortunately, many children of God struggle to engage in meaningful and effective prayer, leading to stagnancy in their spiritual journeys. While studying the Word, praising God, and giving tithes and offerings are all vital aspects of our spiritual lives, they cannot replace the importance of prayer. The Bible encourages us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17), emphasizing the need for continuous communication with God. Prayer should become as natural as breathing, for without it, we may have ideas and plans, but lack the power to implement them. Jesus taught us to prioritize pray...

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written March 19,2025 Matthew 10:1-42, Mark 3:13-19, Luke 6:12-16, 9:1-6 In Matthew 10:1-42, Jesus commissions His twelve disciples, empowering them to cast out unclean spirits, heal sicknesses, and diseases. The Bible emphasizes that Jesus "called His twelve disciples to Himself" and gave them authority over darkness (Matthew 10:1). The naming of the disciples in verse 2 is not a coincidence; it signifies a divine roll call, ensuring that each one is mature, ready, and accountable for the assignment. Perhaps you have struggled to exercise your authority in Christ because you're unsure if your name is on the list. You may feel timid, afraid, or silent, wondering if you are truly called and empowered for the task. However, those who are sent out by Jesus have their names written, and the darkness recognizes and trembles at their authority. The story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19:11-16 illustrates the impor...
