John 3:16 This scripture is often understood as referring to eternal life in heaven, but it also speaks of the life we are meant to live on earth. This truth is best seen in the life of Jesus because He was looking at something that wasn’t seen or perceived by the five human senses.  He…

John 8:47 The Bible talks much about listening to God’s Word because when we do that, we will always hear God’s heart and understand His will. Jesus emphasizes the same in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. It is our bounded duty to read, meditate, speak the Word and claim His Word as…

John 1:49 Nathaniel believed the words of Jesus, and therefore, Jesus said to him that He would experience greater things; in the next verse, He explains how the heavens will open and angels of God ascend and descend on the Son of Man.

John 17: 6 Here, Jesus is saying a prayer over His disciples, and it mentions an essential truth that Jesus gave to His disciples. It is the Words that He received from His Father which He passed it on to His disciples, and the Bible mentions that they accepted the Words (John 17:8). On one…

John 13:12-17 Here, Jesus was teaching one of the most important lessons to His disciples: His serving and humbling don’t make them greater than Him.

Psalm 115:12-14  Here, the Psalmist declares the heart of God to His people, that He desires to bless us, to increase us so that we may grow. This blessing is not limited to us but to the coming generations. Only when we understand this truth will we remain confident about what God is doing or…

Acts 20:28 In Ephesians, we read that Jesus loved and gave Himself for the Church, and it is against the Church that the gates of hell shall not prevail. This explains how important the Church is in the sight of God as it is only in Acts 20:28 there is a reference where the Bible…

Psalms 11 (1-3) For a believer, a firm foundation is to always trust in the Lord and never lean on one’s own understanding because our understanding can shake the foundation of our trust. If the foundations are shaken or destroyed, it is impossible to withstand the enemy’s attacks. That’s why the Bible insists on shaping…
