The Gospel of Jesus Christ of Nazareth can and has revolutionized society and has vitalized the mental faculties of those that had been born imbeciles.
The Gospel is the power of God, the Gospel is the light that can be challenged but cannot be stopped; no power of men or angels can stop the march of the Gospel.
If you are a product of the Gospel, nothing on earth or under the earth can stop you.
The Gospel will transfer you from failure to success; it will take you from fear to faith. It will uplift you from a downcast position, because there is power in it.
The power of God is in the Gospel, the wisdom of God is in the Gospel.
The Gospel enriches people and causes enlightenment and understanding in their lives; the Gospel gives knowledge of who God really is and it tells you who you are in Christ, if you are a Christian and how you can be Christ if you are not yet a Christian.
The Gospel esteems you rather than demean you.
The Gospel inspires, the Gospel brings aspiration and inspiration.
The Gospel brings right desires and victory.
The Gospel brings success and gives boldness.
The Gospel is Christ, His works and His teachings. Every religion in the world believes in God, but not everyone believes in Christ.

You can speak life or death to your dreams and visions. That is why it is very important to study and watch carefully the word that proceeds out of your month, because God watches over it to bring it to pass. My point is, if the tree died because Jesus spoke and cursed it for not bearing fruit, then we as Christians must also speak and expect mighty big results. God speaks and expects results. And we are made in the image and likeness of Him.
There are many people today who cannot speak to their circumstances because the devil continues to generate negative confessions out of their mouth. You are the speaker, God is the doer. Therefore do not let your dreams die halfway. Do not your visions die midstream. Do not reduce the scope of your thoughts and what you can achieve in life. God never gives up on His dream. You must not!
Christianity supports the practice of positive faith for God’s richest and abundant life. The Bible says, The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (See Proverbs 10:22)

What did God tell Moses to do? To speak to the rock. And what was going to happen? Water was going to come out. In fact until Moses carried out the instruction and spoke, nothing would have happened.

Because you are looking at the rock as a stone, but God is seeing it as a reservoir.

Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.
Christians can face heavy trails of the enemy. We can be knocked down but we can never be knocked out.
The life of success is one of going forward to posses our possessions. It has been said that God’s will does not send a man to where His grace cannot sustain him. God’s will and His grace go hand in hand.
Do you have faith to go forward and do what God has told you? What are you waiting for? Go tip now! Faith clears all obstacles before it.
Riches in a limited sense may be associated only money and the possession of material things, but success means more than this.
I have pinpointed two reasons why men of God do not preach on prosperity; they are ignorance and lack of understanding of God’s Word on this crucial issue.
Religion in all cases associates poverty with piety; suffering with holiness; and burdens with humility. That is pure religious stuff and not full Gospel message as presented by Jesus Christ. (John 10:10). My dear friend, don’t ask for prosperity if you will not use it for God. This has been my maxim whenever I think of prosperity in Christ.
Beloved, God is faithful, who will not suffer you to fail. Live for Him one day at a time. He will prosper the labour of your hands.

Christ came to turn your life from slavery into Kingdomhood.
Believing something does not in itself alter its validity or otherwise. The basic difference therefore is to believe something that is true, valid and trustworthy.
Religion leads men to bondage, fear and bleakness but through Christ, grace and faith lead men to success, prosperity and fulfillment.
Living in faith simply means putting the full weight of our lives on Jesus and being led by the Holy Spirit to appropriate all the promises.
The Bible is a precious book; it contains nuggets of gold for your life.
When God created man, in His wisdom, grace and knowledge He added a manual(The Bible) to show us the way to fruitful and successful living.
This generation is one of laxity and carelessness; no wonder many people are not making much headway in life. Go and read the manual(The Bible) and correct the errors in your life; then shall you make your way prosperous. Read the Bible daily, sow the seed of faith and blessings in the Word in your spirit.
A man can influence the destiny of his nation if only he can believe God, believe himself and set out in determination to succeed where others have failed. If only men would turn their stumbling-blocks into stepping-stones, it would make all the difference.

The harder the enemy fights you, the harder you must fight to succeed.
To put faith into action is the secret which leads to the fulfillment of all God’s promises.
The devil (God’s enemy and ours) steps in to create doubt, fear, confusion or hesitation in order to delay or prevent God’s fulfillment and our joy.

God always demands that we act our faith first. This proves our believing. Then He steps into the scene to make good His promise.
God does not know the word setback! If you face problems, use them as opportunities to glorify His name.
If you are walking in the ways of God, His presence goes with you every step of the way. God is the owner of the vehicle of your life. He directs the steering of your life as He desires.

Anytime you attach yourself to God you are connected to light, health, purity in Christ, peace and all the spiritual benefits of heaven.
Beloved, riches in Christ means standing where Christ is; taking sides with Him who is able to abundantly more than you expect.
You must be a testifier rather than a complainer. God assures you that blessings will chase after you when go in and out obediently. You will be overtaken by blessings.
We have nothing to offer the heathen but a religion, and true Christianity is not a religion. Religion is only a form, a ceremonial observance, but Christianity is a life itself. Christianity is the core, heart and nature of Jesus Christ being manifested in man.

A believer who will not till the soil and plant the field may seem spiritual and may pray for miraculous harvest, but he or she will end up in poverty.
What are some of the mischievous lies the devil puts across to confuse people about prosperity and success? First, he suggests that material poverty fosters spiritual humility. Don’t allow such a thought to reign in your heart; it is sickening and defiling.
Don’t forget, it is not only the rich who are in danger of being infected by pride.
If God places so much value upon you, surely he wants you to benefit from the abundance of His creation.
A believer who is undisciplined and slothful in business principles will not prosper.
God never intended that anyone should go through life imprisoned by their own superstitions. He opens the door of success to every believer who will dare to step out and go after the good life. No one in God’s family was ever destined to exist in sickness, fear, ignorance, poverty, loneliness or mediocrity.
Once you have set your eyes on God’s lifestyle, you will no longer cower and retreat when the going gets rough. You will transform each problem into an opportunity for growth.
If your hopes are dashed by opposition you will not cringe in fear of judgment. Instead you will pick up the pieces, learn by your mistakes, profit by learning your enemy’s strategy and set even higher targets the next time around.
Success is coming your way in Christ, who became poor that you might be rich. Until we have a dream, we can never know what it is to have a dream come live.
God entrusts every generation with seeds to plant, soil to cultivate, oceans to sail, mountains to scale, deserts to conquer, rivers to harness, minerals to mine and forests to utilise. He also gives each of us a brain and a spirit with which to receive His creative ideas. With Him at work in us we can be, have and do, anything He puts into our spirit and mind.

People, we get it all wrong. We think that if God wants it to happen in our lives, that He will just magically do it.
It doesn’t work like that. He plans great things for us, but requires our faith and strategic action to activate His purpose and promises.
When you meet an obstacle along the way (and you will) it doesn’t mean that you should give up or that it wasn’t part of His plan in the first place. Activate your faith to overcome the obstacles you face. Use your faith as a booster to push you past the difficulty.
In fact… the process / journey that we pass through is also very much a part of His plan. There are lessons we are to learn on the road to every victory.
Faith is not a superstition or an intention; it is an action.
I was made in Heaven assembled in Nigeria and dispatched to my generation.
You are made for life and not for death. You are made for health and not for disease. You are made for success and not for failure. You are made for faith and not for confusion. You are made for love and not for fear.
I am part of God’s plan. I am vital to His dream. I am an instrument in His kingdom. I am a member of His family. I am the proof of God’s love. I am evidence of His life. I am the temple of His spirit. I am the expression of God’s faith.
God made me. God believe me. God loves me. God paid for me. God never gives up on me. God gave His Son for me. God redeemed me. God values me.
