Boldness to proclaim Gospel
Acts 4:29 When a great persecution arose against the disciples of Jesus Christ, they prayed. Interestingly, they didn’t pray that the persecution may stop or persecutors be judged, punished, or destroyed. Instead, they prayed for boldness to continue being the carriers of the Gospel. Often, when we face opposition or persecution, we are perplexed and…
The Divine Help
Ezra 4: 4-5 The adversary is always on the job to increase the troubles for God’s people. Here, Zerubbabel’s and his associates’ efforts to restore the temple were met with stiff opposition and false accusations. Then God uses his prophet- Zechariah, to remind that it is not by might, not by power, but by His…
Knowing HIM
The revelation of Jesus will indeed transform our lives. Only when we understand this truth will we see the power of God in our lives.

Source of Lasting Joy

In the same chapter, he also brings to our attention an essential truth about having control over our words. (Colossians 3: 8) He insists we must eliminate anger, malice, slander, and foul language. Unless we conquer the…
Progressive Journey
A Christian’s life is a life of progress. It is where God takes us from glory to glory and victory to victory amid battles, opposition, and resistance. Progress is similar to how the people of Israel were delivered from the Egyptians through the Red Sea. Then, across Jordan and taking possession of the land flowing…
Fulfilment of His Promises
Ezekial 12:28 The Bible declares that heaven and earth can pass away, but God’s Words will never pass away. It implies that God takes responsibility for every word that He has spoken. In Isaiah 55:11, God says that His word will never return empty but accomplish/fulfil the purpose it has been sent and then return…
God’s mysterious ways
Ephesians 3:20-21 God always works beyond our imaginations, more than what we can ask for, because His ways are higher than our ways. The fundamental truth is that God is infinitely greater than all of us, and that’s why when He works, it is always beyond our imagination and measure. When the children of Israel…
