Psalms 78:17 Here, we read about how God had cared for the people of Israel. He provided food, water protection, and miracles and delivered them from the oppression of Egypt; now, forgetting the awesomeness of God, the people tested Him. They provoked him by asking for the food they craved. In James 4:3, we read…
Colossians 3:5 onwards Paul’s writing to the Church in Colossia emphasises deliverance from sexual immorality and evil desires. 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…
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…
1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Wish this was Christ’s second commandment after the greatest commandment. Growing up, I learned a song based on this verse. I hummed, sang out aloud off key with all my heart…
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…
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…
James 5 19-20 Here, James is writing this immediately after talking about Prophet Elijah. He says that Elijah was a man full of passion, just like us, but with his sincere prayers, he brought rain and, before that, stopped the rain, too. Likewise, anyone can pray and simultaneously bring about a miracle, no matter how…
Proverbs 22:17-19 These verses explain that whatever God tells you, don’t take it casually. On the contrary, you must take every Word of wisdom or knowledge from the Bible seriously. In Matthew, we see that Jesus often spoke in Parables, and many didn’t understand, but the disciples inclined their ears, showed interest, made an effort…
Be alone! That is God’s way of working. (Exodus 24:2) Here, Moses had Aaron, Hur, few elders of Israel, young men, Joshua, and the people of Israel. However, Moses needed to be alone and note that it is God’s way of working. There was a time when Jacob was left alone. (Genesis 34:24) likewise, Daniel,…
Romans 5:8 There are three dimensions of God’s love. 1) Love of God that is beyond our comprehension (Deuteronomy 10:15) It is God’s character to love us while we were enemies, unlovable and sinners, and through Jesus, we can experience the love of God. It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ came…
