Our Inheritance In Christ, By Femi Aribisala

The Righteousness of God (2), By Femi Aribisala
It is often not recognized that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are actually books of the Old Testament. Jesus was born: “born under the law.” (Galatians 4:4). Therefore, he was subject to the Law of Moses. He reassured his Jewish audience: “Do not think that I came to destroy the…
The Righteousness of God (1), By Femi Aribisala

The Stripes of a Prophet, By Femi Aribisala
The earthquakes and tsunami floods are breeding grounds for many a prophet. As a new believer, the Lord asked me one of his intriguing questions. He said: “Femi, would you like to be a prophet?” I did not answer. The last thing I wanted to be was a prophet. I…
Conversations With God, By Femi Aribisala
The voice of the Lord is not the voice of anxiety, but of peace. Roberts Liardon was a guest-minister at a church. Suddenly during the service, the Holy Spirit drew his attention to a woman. Then he told him something unusual. He told him to go and slap her. Liardon…
