Precious Foundation
‘Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God’ Matt.16:16
We are taking time to build a foundation because the story of Jesus is extremely important. The story of Jesus is the foundation for effective witnessing. Emperors rule for decades but Jesus preached for just three years. Even though Jesus preached for just three years, today there are people in every continent on earth worshipping and lifting up the name of Jesus. God is saying to Read the rest of this entry
In God’s Hands
me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me’ Gal.2:20
Jesus said to Pilate, ‘there is nothing you can do to me except heaven permits you’. So for all the harassment you are getting, all the fear the enemy is pumping into your heart, you can tell the enemy to go to hell. Your life is in God’s hands. Declare it out loud ‘my life is not in any body’s hands. My life is in God’s hands’. They took Jesus and they humiliated him. They spat on His face Read the rest of this entry
No Excuses
‘The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there! If I go outside, I might be killed!”’ Prov.22:13.
One characteristic lazy people have in common is excuses. The lazy person always comes up with genuine and nicely packaged excuses. Think about it, someone says there’s a lion in the street and he doesn’t want to go out. If you advise the person to go out, won’t you look like a bad person? That’s the problem with the lazy man. He pitches his excuse so that when you advise otherwise, you look like a bad person.
The Beginning
‘Then God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness’ Gen. 1:3-4.
If you are reading this today and the best way to describe what you have been going through is a dark season. Then rejoice because the evening and night are passing today and the day has arrived. The man by the pool had Jesus the Sun of Righteousness [Mal.4:2] in front of him and his darkness yet, he was still going by logic. People of God, the Sun of Righteousness is before you even now. I know you are Read the rest of this entry
The Answer
‘When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?” “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me’ John 5:6-7.
The Only Way!
‘Jesus told him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me’ John 14:6.
A lot of people even those who refuse to admit it are wondering if Jesus is the only way to God? Well I will let Jesus answer this question Himself. ‘Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me’ John 14:6 [KJV]. This is a direct quote from Jesus Himself. If you have an issue with this answer then you have an issue with Jesus. “I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center Read the rest of this entry
Undeniable Change
‘I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done’ Phil.3:7.
‘I don’t know whether he is a sinner,” the man replied. “But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!’ John 9:25. If you check with anyone who is consistently walking with God, one thing we all have in common is that there has been great change since we met the person of Jesus. Claiming you are saved and refusing to change is making yourself a ridicule to the Kingdom of God. You are making a mess of everything God stands for. If you want to be cold be cold. If you want to be hot be hot. If you are lukewarm you are standing the Read the rest of this entry
Give Yourself
‘But more than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well’ Matt.6:33 [CEV]
Another thing you can give this season is, give your life to Jesus. This is the best gift you can give. Many of us are so consumed with the mistakes we have made in the past, in our marriages, and in our lives that it is hindering us from moving forward. Yet if you understand and realize that Jesus has taken care of your past you will stop worrying. Jesus is offering you a fresh start; free from all the wrong you have ever done, including what you did last week, and even yesterday. For some of us the anxiety we have is for the future; what will Read the rest of this entry
A New Outlook
‘This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – and I am the worst of them all’ 1 Tim.1:15
A lot of times, we get lost looking for God in the dramatic whereas God has come to us as a baby in a manger. God gave to us His Son Jesus. Jesus is the reason for the season. However you and I are the reason for His coming in this season in the first place. Without you and I, Jesus would not have needed to come and there will be no reason for Christmas. The significance of Christmas of course is around Jesus but it transcends just Jesus. If the meaning does not come to fruition in our lives then Christmas is wasted. So even though Read the rest of this entry
Phileo love
‘A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another’ John 13:34-35
The word love has been broadly used and because of this many people don’t have a clear understanding of what love is truly about. There are many aberrations of love which people have come up with to suit their circumstances and for their convenience. The Bible recognizes three kinds of love – Agape, Eros, and Phileo. Phileo is the brotherly love we share and have for one another. This kind of love can fade with the challenges of life. Esau did not start out hating Jacob. He must have loved him as a brother would. But when Jacob stole his Read the rest of this entry
