THE WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEART

Christianity today seems to be of human wisdom. There seems to be no difference between Christianity and religion. However, the Bible makes us understand that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. Jesus came to restore the relationship and fellowship between God and man. Christianity lies in the heart. It is all about the …

STAY IN FAITH

Faith is the evidence of things not seen. After a farmer has planted his seed, he believes it is growing before he sees it grow. This is faith which is, ‘the evidence of things not seen’ (Hebrews 11:1). In Christ, we have a perfect evidence for faith. Any man or woman can get rid of …

THE POWER OF FAITH

Faith in God is a spiritual force that grows and develops in the heart of man. Faith is of man’s heart and man’s heart means man’s spirit. One thing we should bear in mind is that God is Spirit; therefore, faith in God is not a natural issue but a spiritual issue. In Luke 10: …

LET YOUR WORDS BE FEW

“Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.” (Ecclesiastes 5:2-3) When you open your mouth to pray, do you ever stop to think about who you are praying to? The Creator …

A CRY BORN OF FAITH!

We all cry sometimes but as the tears roll down your cheeks, have you ever stopped to ask yourself what gave birth to your crying? Is your cry born of self-pity or victimhood because you are looking for attention and lamenting over your present situation? Or is your cry born of faith because you want …

FEET OF CLAY

The spies that were sent to the promised land of Canaan came back to tell of the great giants that were there and fear filled all who heard them (Numbers 13:31-33). What is your giant today that seems to stand in the way of God’s promises for your life? Is it sickness, joblessness, hatred, rejection, …

JOY FOR THE JOURNEY

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize” (1 Corinthians 9:24) Do you know what you need to run life’s race? It is not fast legs, it is not intelligence, it is not good connections …

FAITH FOCUSES ON GOD

What is your situation? What is that unpleasant circumstance that you are facing right now or the mountain surrounding you? Rather than wallowing in self-pity, which will only plunge you deeper into the pit, why not stop and take time to change your focus? Faith focuses on God, not on our problems. Therefore, it is …

DON’T REMAIN A VICTIM!

Who has hurt you today or in the past? Are you having feelings of resentment or harbouring a grudge as a result of offence? As a child of God, how you respond to your situation matters. Imagine the deep hurt Joseph felt when his siblings tore his favourite coat of many colours, threw him into …

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Are you someone who watches things happen, someone who wondered what happened or someone who makes things happen? We have a goal to reach that needs all our energy. But unfortunately today we spend so much time, effort and energy fighting the wrong battle, chasing shadows, lamenting on past failures and nursing our wounds that …

UNSHAKEABLE!

Hebrews 12:28 – “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.” I believe everyone will agree that we are living in an unsteady world where nothing is certain. The problem we face is that everything about us can be …

FAITH ACTS NOW!

Faith is our movement towards God. Faith enables us to see the unseen and thus endure when the visible world offers us no hope or encouragement. It was faith that enabled blind Bartimaeus to cry out to Jesus against the opposition of the crowd and receive his sight. It was faith that enabled four men …

TAKE HEART

Are you worried about something? Is there a burden upon your spirit? As long as you are in this world there will be things poking you; there will be things disappointing you. When we are troubled, we cannot be sensitive to the Spirit of God. You need a free spirit to pray. You need a …
