Be Merciful
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven” Luke 6:37 [NIV]
Be merciful! God will not ask you to give to others what He has not first given you. As you have obtained mercy, God expects you to also give mercy. To whom much is given, much is expected. Jesus says that loving Him translates to obeying His commands. God’s command to you and I today is be merciful. Read the rest of this entry
Witnesses
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere… and to the ends of the earth” Acts 1:8
Jesus says about you and I, “…you will be my witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere”. We are witnesses for Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit has planted all that we need to be effective witnesses in us. However, you cannot stand as a witness to an event you did not witness otherwise you will be a false Read the rest of this entry
Understanding Mercy And Grace
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John1:14 [KJV]
As a child, when you know that your father is merciful you would not see the need to hide anything from him. Similarly, when you take God as your Father, your Merciful Father you will run to Him especially when you need mercy most. However, unlike our earthly fathers, God already knows everything we Read the rest of this entry
Who?
“The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness” Ex.34:6
It is human nature, when you are asked about yourself, to put your best foot forward. The ‘tell us about yourself’ question is very common at job interviews. And when people are presented with this question, their natural tendency is to tell only the good things about themselves, the things they consider Read the rest of this entry
In The Name
“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” Gen12:2 [KJV, emphasis added]
Diverse people introduce themselves differently and very often by the various titles they have acquired. The desire to establish greatness and stamp our authority drives us to seek titles. This is why you find people whose only pleasure and life’s purpose is to become a Chief, a Reverend, an Evangelist, or Read the rest of this entry
The David Way
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety” Ps.18:2
God does not just want to be the Alpha and Omega to you, He desires to be your Alpha and Omega. It is impossible to have God to yourself alone but you can choose to personalize your every communication with Him. Personalize His Word because guess what? He spoke His Word directly to you. Personalize Read the rest of this entry
Love And Share!
“Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Matt.27:36
What must you and I do to put our relationships with God intact? “Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Matt.22:37-40. Read the rest of this entry
Daily Bread
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing” John15:5
How will you treat a relationship that is your life? How will you handle a relationship that your life, existence, and eternity depends on? Imagine a young man who has lived in abject poverty all his life gets to meet the president. And the president says to him, one day in the coming week, between Read the rest of this entry
God Wants You
“Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock” Matt.7:25
God allows the pain you have experienced in the past, or the pain you are currently experiencing, and perhaps the pain you might experience in the future for a purpose. However, many of us get too engrossed in the pain and allow it to make us bitter. Whereas God is saying ‘the pain is supposed to draw Read the rest of this entry
Womb Of Adversity
‘God replied to Moses, I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you’. Ex.3:14
When you examine the revelations of God throughout Scripture, a lot of these revelations were birthed in the womb of adversity. Every Christian encounters adversity at one point or the other of his or her walk with God. Even the prophets of old experienced adversity and this birthed in them a new and Read the rest of this entry
