The Way Forward

Deuteronomy 1:19-33 “I said to you, ‘You have now reached the land that the Lord our God is giving us. Look! He has placed it in front of you. Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don’t be afraid! Don’t be discouraged!’ ”Deuteronomy 1:20-21 If we don’t learn from history, we’ll probably repeat it. Perhaps that is why Moses was careful to remind the children of Israel that their forefathers had experienced…

Money Management

I tell you, use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. In this way, your generosity stores up a reward for you in heaven.Luke 16:9 People get uneasy in the pews when preachers talk about money, and many preachers get uneasy in the pulpit when it is time to talk finances. Jesus had no such reluctance. He spoke openly, unapologetically, trenchantly, and not infrequently on the subject! More often than not, he concentrated on showing how the pursuit…

In Christ, we triumph and prevail

Often when we consider all that goes on in this World, the presence of Evil, Wars, Destructions, and all manner of wickedness, we tend to think that God is absent. NO, God is the Ever Present One irrespective of what goes on in this World, His council and purposes will and has stood. “The Earth is the LORD’S and the Fulness thereof, the World and all who dwell in it”. This understanding must influence our thoughts and minds as we…

Faith as a way of life

Since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Hebrews 12:1 The life of faith is meant to be active, dynamic, and adventurous, not dull, suffocating, and restrictive. Some people say that faith is a verb. I like to think of…

The need to make your Faith known

John 18:1–19:42 28Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” 29A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and released his spirit. 31It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies…

The need to make your faith known

28Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” 29A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and released his spirit. 31It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the…

Why Challenges?

Surely you remember that I was sick . you took me in and cared for me.” GALATIANS 4:13-14 Few will dispute that the apostle Paul is considered a spiritual giant in Christian history. From his miraculous conversion on the road to Damascus to his historical missionary journeys to his significant contribution to the New Testament, Paul looms large. But as Paul saw it, his strength came not through his abilities and accomplishments but rather through his humility, weakness, and dependence…

Emotions

Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.Psalm 19:13-14 How do emotions impact a marriage, life, and relationships? Emotions are God’s gift to enrich life. Both positive and negative emotions should point us to God. Some Christians have come to distrust emotions…

Fear Not!

Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:6 What are you afraid of? Your children getting kidnapped? A stock market crash? Public speaking? Spiders? Snakes? Bedbugs? The dentist? Heights? Failure? Flying? Rejection? Crowds? Darkness? Job loss? Illness? Affliction? Old age? Death? Whether our fears are triggered by creepy crawly creatures, being shut up…

Being A Godly Hero & Heroine.

TO READ: – 2 Timothy 1:1-14 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. So you must never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the proclamation of the Good News.2 Timothy 1:6-8…

Forgiveness

READ LUKE 6:27-36 As we set out to mend relationships, there may be some things that are beyond our control. Some people may refuse to be reconciled, even when we do our best to make amends. This may leave us feeling like victims. Once again we are stuck with the pain of unresolved issues. We may be left with negative feelings that continue to surface. What can we do to gain control in these situations? Jesus said, “But to you…

Healing the wounds of the past

BIBLE READING: Genesis 33:1-11 “We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others”. This is one of the ” Steps” in the AA fellowship which is a Life Changing Experience and Principle for anyone who desires to be free from the pain and hurt of wrong done to another human. You see Sin are committed in three Folds – Against God and His Nature – Against Others and Against Self.…
