TOTAL COMMITMENT TO JESUS
Joshua 24:15 says, “And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and […]

KEEP TRUSTING IN CHRIST’S SUFFERING
1 Peter 2:21 says, “For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that you should follow His steps.” Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, was crushed, tortured, humiliated, dehumanised and brutally murdered for our sake. He responded with forgiveness, knowing that His death on the Cross would […]
HOW DO YOU REACT TO SIN?
Luke 18:13–14 says, “And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, […]
TRUE SUCCESS TAKES TIME AND PREPARATION
Have you been worrying about your future, wondering if you are too young to be used by God or too old to be successful?

AN INDEPENDENT MIND
In the world today, there are three basic categories of people: those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those that wonder what happened.

THE REAL THING
1 Thessalonians 5:23 says, “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Man is a spirit being, a divine person possessed of spirit, soul, and body.

THE CALL OF GOD
Mark 10:49 says, “So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer.

WALK THROUGH YOUR FEARS
As Christians, our lives should depend on God’s Word because it is the final authority. One word may speak today and another may speak tomorrow, but God sends each of them straight into our lives.
