Brighter Life Ministry

Luke  13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? This was one of the parable of Jesus Christ about a fruitless fig tree, after it was dressed for almost three years it suppose to bring forth fruit.  The owner was tired, He needed no time again to waste on a tree that gives no satisfaction to the owner, so He ordered it should be cut down, that why should it occupy space which should have  been used for something profitable.  God himself is the owner of the vine, Jesus Christ is the dresser, you are the fruitless tree... The land you occupy is the grace and mercy of God.  Fruitfulness is a must in the kingdom of God, as you have been saved into the body of Christ, you are expected to grow daily and bear fruits for Him.  Fruits of  love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance, soul wining...

1 John  2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. The world was once a perfect place to live, a place of peace and no evil, a place of joy and happiness. But after sin crept in and devil was cast into it, it became a place of sorrow, pain, death and  anguish. The god of this world the devil, try as much as possible to create a distance between us and our father the Lord God through three distinct elements... These three elements has been the tool the devil uses to fight against man in other to become an enemy of God. The three elements are well listed in the book of 1 John  2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Lust of the flesh: Our sinful nature, dominated by sin and rebellion, is so closely tied to the physical aspect of mankind that it is called “the flesh.” Ever...

2 Chronicles  16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. The God we serve is a sovereign God, who sees all and knows all,  His eyes run to and from throughout the whole earth, and nothing is hidden before Him. God sees our Labour of faith, He sees our various prayer activities, our act of love towards others, and our act of giving, yet it is only the perfect in heart that will see Him in action. God cannot be deceived, our clothed religious activities cannot block our deceptive heart from God's view. We pray without answer, we fast without response, we ask for the presence of God, but heaven is closed, not that our voices of prayers are far from His ears but our heart is far away from Him. We experience defeat daily, our prayers are not answered, we face difficulties,  problems, barre...

Jeremiah  29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. The God we serve is a God of love, and peace. He cares for His creation and will not subject anyone to suffering without a cause. Several times we tend to relate a situation in our life to the Will of God, whereas it is not. It was not the will of God for Adam and Eve to leave the garden of Eden, but they themselves choses the parth of exit through their disobedient to the will of God. How will was for them to live forever in the garden. Likewise it was not His will for the children of Israelite to become slaves in a strange land, but because of the misdeeds of Abraham, God pronounced their slave master and number of years they will serve. Prophet Jeremiah wrote a letter to the residues which were carried away to babylon, according to the words of God. He affirm God's word that the thoughts He had for them were of peace and not of evil. m...

Joshua  22:4 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan. God promised Abraham to give his generation a land as their possession, a country that flows with milk and honey, a country that will be their heritage forever.  It could have been fulfilled faster than expected, but sin made the promises of God be prolonged. The children of israelite became slaves for four hundred years and more, yet God still stand on His promises  With a mighty hand He brought them out, and set them on the journey to the promise land, which initially should take forty days, but due to disobedience, it took them forty years.  Finally God brought them to the land, as promised, and gave unto them as inheritance through Joshua moses' successor.  Joshua called on the Reubenites, Gadites and pa...
