DAILY VITAMIN - God Hate Lies “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.” (Revelations 22:15) In the story of Ananias and Sapphira, the problem wasn’t that they sold their lands or didn’t. The problem wasn’t also that they didn’t bring the full price of sale; the problem was that they claimed to have brought the full price of sale (Acts 5:2). They lied, and God hates lies. In our theme verse, we see how God categorizes lying with other despicable sins. Anyway, that’s because to Him, they are all same. There is no white lie or cheeky lie with God. Whatever is not truth is a lie. And nowadays, we don’t preach this because this era has made lying a norm. When you seek to avoid someone, you lie, but to you it’s simply nothing. Well, my friend, it’s more than nothing. I have had my own share of lies, and every day I ask the Holy Spirit to help me stop it. He is called the Spirit of Truth; and of God ...

DAILY VITAMIN - Put Your Faith To Work “Jesus answered and said unto them, verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” (Matthew 21:21-22) This will change your life if you’d only accept it and practice it every day. Jesus said “Truly I say unto you, if you have faith” [what is faith? Faith is simply accepting God’s Word as it is without wavering], “and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more…You can get anything- anything you ask for in prayer- if you believe” (TLB). Praise God! This isn’t a suggestion, it’s a principle; and if you believe it enough to practice it with all consciousness, it will bring you results. For God’s sake, it was how Jesus lived, and He never lacked result. If you do the same, you ...

DAILY VITAMIN - Walking In Love “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.” (1 John 4:7) You can’t have God and not love people. When John tells us that if we do not love our brothers, we do not know God (1 John 2:11), he wasn’t referring to our mother’s son or our father’s son, he was talking about everyone. You see, all the violence and hate that exists is because men chose to walk in darkness and not God’s unending light of love. Love keeps no grudge (1 Corinthians 13:5); it never retaliates. And that is the only reason why many people despite their derogatory sins still enjoy grace in life: because of God’s unconditional love. Love accommodates and is patient, exactly how God was with us all the while till we were saved. Anyway, now He tells us to do the same with one another. He terms it as the most important thing we must do now as Christians. The scripture says “Owe no man nothing but love” (Romans 1...
