The Power of Joy
Philippians 4:4 (KJV) Rejoice in the Lord always: and again, I say, Rejoice. Paul was a man filled with the Holy Spirit and he experienced such life-threatening circumstances and situations that often when you want to consider someone whose life epitomizes Grace and at the same time suffering, you think of Paul the Apostle. He understood by the inspiration of God the place of “Joy and Rejoicing” in handling the challenges of life. This year is indeed good, however, let…
The Road Map of God
Psalm 119:105 (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path We all desire to walk securely in life, and it is something within us as humans to be conscious of where we are going and what we are in pursuit of life. It is God’s will that we don’t waste our life in pursuit of vanities nor in pursuit of unproductive ventures. So, God in His love and kindness towards us gives us His…
Commit your plans (works) to the Lord
Proverbs 16:3 (KJV) Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. As you begin the new calendar year, it is imperative that you critically consider how you acted and went about things in the previous year. An introspective approach to life helps to avoid pitfalls. We live in a world that demands our attention and on daily basis, we are confronted with too many things to do and to respond to, so much so that we often…
The power of gratitude
Psalm 98 (KJV) 98 O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 2 The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. The psalmist understood the need to be grateful and the power of gratitude in life, especially when it comes to the works of God in the lives of His people. As we start a new calendar…
To Love God is to “Serve Others”
Matthew 23:11 (KJV) But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. One of the things Christ had to confront His disciples was their mentality and mindset about greatness. They were still holding on to the mentality of their environment as it defined what constitutes greatness. Their mindset was wrapped up in thinking that a great person was or is that person who others served. One who had great material wealth. One who commanded such influences and affluence.…
True Faith in Christ is “Within You (Heart)”
Matthew 5:8 (KJV) Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Jesus Christ came into the world to change lives and one of the ways that He did that was by what He taught. Here Christ challenged the concept of “True Faith” in God as held by the Jewish people during His days on earth. To the Jews, then true faith was more of an external thing. They held onto ceremonies and rituals of the Jewish religion as…
What does it means “to seek God”?
Isaiah 26:9 (KJV) With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. The deepest desires of our hearts are seen by the pursuit of our lives. The psalmist by the Holy Spirit revealed what our deepest desire should be and that is to seek for the Lord. Seeking God is an honor.…
God’s kind of GIVING.
Matthew 6:3 (KJV) But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: There are many forms of giving in the Bible. In each instance, the Bible is very clear about what qualifies a giving that is both honored by God and that is pleasing to Him. Our gifts are mostly an expression of gratitude towards God and God is most interested in the motives behind the giving as well as the heart condition…
By Grace we are saved, through faith…………….
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Salvation is based on the finished work of Christ. We receive the gift of eternal life by grace through the finished work of Christ. We are recipients of God’s goodness and grace because we did not naturally qualify for anything that God has but by His love and mercy, He…
The Righteousness of the Gospel
John 3:17 (KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. The purpose for which Christ came into the world is obvious, and it is to that purpose we are called His followers. Therefore, we preach the Gospel in such a way that its content remains true while its presentation is not in betrayal of Christ’s purpose. We are not called to bring condemnation to people,…
Thanksgiving: The Believer’s Way of Life
Psalm 100:4 (KJV) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. The approach determines response. It is a spiritual and natural law that the way and manner in which you approach someone determines the response you will receive. God is both our Father and our God; we, therefore, must understand the necessity of approaching Him as such. Reverence, Praise, and Worship are biblical and reveal manners by which we…
God’s Grace is Sufficient for you
2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Christianity is not an immunity from the challenges of life. The profound thing about the Bible is that it is Truth, and it declares and reveals practical principles of life. God has never failed to declare to us that…
