Let God’s Truth guide our hearts
Proverbs 21:2 (KJV) Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. We are creatures of thoughts and words. We are pruned to think often in general before acting and we do so sometimes with even considering the consequences. It is imperative to earnestly consider our thoughts and actions in the light of the Truth that God foremost looks at our hearts. Now the good thing about this is that God, unlike men, looks…
Exercise self-control for Fruitfulness
James 1:19 (KJV) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: Life will is beautiful when we follow God’s wisdom for living. God, the author of life has prescribed to us the very best approaches to living a full and meaningful life here on earth. The challenge is that we do not often follow His revealed approach to life nor do we allow the Holy Spirit always to guide us in the…
Meekness & Humility Leads to Fruitfulness
Philippians 2:3 (KJV) Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Authenticity is the key to genuineness. Impressiveness in any form of it leads to compromise. We live in a world where people are not comfortable in who they are and with what they have. We see its impact on every aspect of life. Every outlet of information seems to push the idea that you are to have a…
Have Faith in your Prayer
1 John 5:14 (KJV) And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: No one truly wants to engage in any unproductive and unprofitable venture in life, especially when it relates to time-consuming things. When and if someone decides to engage in such spiritual activities such as prayer, it must then be that which is indeed both necessary and relevant. It is therefore imperative that we underscore…

John 13:34 (KJV) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Obedience & Humility
Philippians 2:8 (KJV) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. This week is a remembrance of the very core of our Faith. Jesus died for us as an atoning sacrifice but as we reflect on this wonderful Truth, we must also reflect on the lessons of this season: 1. There is nothing that can stop you when your heart is made up to serve God. 2.…
Humility & Reverence to God
1 Peter 3:15-16 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: [16] Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. The state of our heart is very important to God. It determines our faith,…
