YOU HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY
God has kept you until now for a purpose known to Him alone. This is why your being alive today suggests that you will achieve your goal. However, you have a role to play. The Bible says that when you seek anything for the salvation of your soul, whatever you receive will come with the …
CAST YOUR BURDEN UPON THE LORD
In Psalms 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7, the Bible enjoins us to ‘cast our burden upon the Lord’. Fear is a burden; it makes the heart sick; worry can rob us of happiness. We often labour under the burden of senseless anxiety about tomorrow. Anxiety is very burdensome and oftentimes leads to sin. That is …

FAITH NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO PRACTICE!
If God’s children cannot commit their bodies to God when they are sick, who would believe that they have faith? Who would believe them as Christians?

DON’T PERCEIVE GOD’S SILENCE AS DISAPPROVAL
Life happens in phases. Everyone waits for the whistle or the gun when a race is about to begin, but in many instances in our daily lives, the reverse is true. In an attempt to beat the gun, we discover that we are worse off for it; we pay dearly for it. Many who were …

A DELIBERATE SINNER
A DELIBERATE SINNER John 5:14 says, “Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, ‘See, you have been made well.

Value Your Trials
Proverbs 3:11–12 says, “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves, He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights.” Do not be discouraged when you go through difficult situations. Oftentimes, God uses foolish things to draw us closer to Himself. …
THE RIGHT DECISION
Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” This means that whatever is rooted in the Lord Jesus is permanent, stable, incontestable, and untouchable.

GOD IS WITH US
Emmanuel means “God is with us.” We like responding to the greeting, but do we really understand the meaning? Why is God with us? We need God because we are weak. Our weakness is not in terms of physical strength, material wealth, worldly position, or fame but spiritual abilities. If we are not weak, we …
WITHIN YOU
We are created after the image of Jesus Christ; we are made in our hearts to be like Him. This means that your appearance does not matter. What matters is what is within you. What matters is your thoughts and words, that is, your capacity to believe. How do we transfer what is within us …
