The Blessing of Fruitfulness is one of three terrific outcomes of obeying the word of God outlined in the first psalm of the Psalter (Psalm 1:1-3). Scripture records that when believers reject ungodly counsel, rejoice in God's word and reflect on the Word, they will achieve three marvellous results. First, we'll enjoy the privilege of being PLANTED by rivers of water. Second, we'll become FRUITFUL. Third, we'll become DURABLE. But the focus of this episode is entirely on the second blessing. In turn, the blessing of fruitfulness is threefold--that is, contribution, continuity and consistency. Have a listen for clarity!

The truth of the matter is that fasting turbocharges our prayers. In this episode, I would like to encourage you concerning some of the wonderful benefits of prayer coupled with fasting. Without any shadow of a doubt, genuine prayer is very powerful on its own. But to fast and pray by faith with a Bible-based understanding compounds results. Benefits include promotion, the release of anointing, supernatural intervention and so forth. Have a listen to learn more.
The Best Year End Tip is a unique episode, designed to help believers wrap up this season wisely.

This final episode of the Christmas Nuggets series unpacks the real reason for arguably one of the most important holidays across the whole wide world--Christmas. The true reason for this season revolves around the identity and mission of Jesus Christ as explained to Joseph by an angel of God as recorded in Matthew 1:21. Jesus' was born for the sole purpose of saving humanity from our sin. That means celebration, family time, gift exchanging and bright lights minus salvation--all that is pointless.
Like Joseph, we too must not limit God's power only to the prayers we've articulated. Our Lord loves to exceed our requests and imaginations. We must believe that God responds to our inner thoughts as well. We must understand that some of the dreams we receive are God’s responses to our unuttered thoughts, questions and desires.
Joseph, Mary's husband, demonstrates an uncommon attitude we would all do well to emulate this Christmas season. He gives his wife a unique gift, something more than the material stuff about which our society is obsessed nowadays. Joseph gives his sweetheart the precious gift of honour in spite of confusing circumstances. No wonder God chose this guy for an assignment with eternal consequences for all humanity!
A new Genesis! That is what the Evangelist Matthew presents to readers of the New Testament. In this first episode in the Christmas Nuggets series, we consider the implications of this "New Genesis" for today's believers, particularly as we celebrate Christmas. Among other things, you'll learn that it's not about getting new presents, gadgets and clothes. Rather, Christmas is about receiving new life through Christ. Enjoy!
It pays to love God wholeheartedly! This truth is only superficially understood by most believers. In this episode, based on Psalm 91:14-16, all children of God have an opportunity to explore the 7 blessings of devoting one's heart to God. Listen, believe the promises of God and praise Him for each of these blessings. There is no better time than this festive season, in which we celebrate the greatest gift God gave to humanity, to reflect on the amazing blessings of God!
The little-known benefits of raising your Ebenezer, that is, your Stone of Help are the focus of this episode. First, it's all about acknowledging our reception of divine help. In an atheistic world, raising your Ebenezer is celebrating the realness of God and His willingness to intervene in human affairs when sought after earnestly. Second, raising your Ebenezer is about recognition of who (God) has made the victory or breakthrough possible. Third, raising your Ebenezer is about recording the divine help received.
Everyone, young or older, spiritual or otherwise, is subject to burnout. In this episode, Josh discloses two biblical solutions to the problem of giving up. The main text is Galatians 6:9, which avers that believers must not grow weary in doing good, knowing that their efforts have great rewards. But the proviso is not giving up. The first solution to burnout is to refuse to give up when the temptation to do so attacks you. The second is to remember that there are rewards for untiring efforts. Our labour in the Lord is never in vain.
