  • The Focused Will

    Lu 9:51 ¶ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, The Lord Jesus was settled in His mind as to what His life was to achieve: to save His people from their sins. There was nothing else that could satisfy His heart, but to do the will of GOD. Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God… Joh 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Our Saviour was born for a…

  • A Useful Life

    Ac 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. There are many great men and women this world has seen. Man who by their courage, and intelligence, change the course of their country, or the times they live in. But none can compare with this insignificant Jew, who at His birth summoned the angels of Heaven to sing, brought the Wise men to worship and hastened the shepherds to run to Bethlehem and see this thing the angels has announced to them. In the life…

  • A Supernatural Birth

    A virgin shall be with Child – Isa 7:14 Biologically, it requires a male and a female coming together in a physical relationship so that a child can be conceived. It is therefore unthinkable for modern bible scholars who deny the supernatural, that Jesus can be born of a virgin. It is this refusal to acknowledge the supernatural that has led bible versions to use the phrase a young lady for Isaiah 7:14. Yet, faithful to the doctrine of the Virgin Birth of Christ, the King James Bible writes: A virgin shall be with child. Why must our Saviour be virgin-born? It is to fulfill prophecy: “Ge 3:15 And I…

  • Learning and Growing

    Mt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Many Christians aim for growth, yet they do not grow. They desire it, and yearn for it and yet there is no result. Is it possible that we are doing it the wrong way? The Lord Jesus tells us that in order to grow, we are come to Him. Coming to Christ is the first step, just as enrolling in a school to learn is a first step. However, after you have enrolled, there are some principles and modules we are go through,…

  • A Hopeful Future

    Ps 138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: GOD has promised us a glorious future (Jer 29:11), a future that will bring us blessings and a purpose. Many people shipwreck their lives on the rock of the trials of this life and the sinister waters of the sin and selfish ambitions. As a believer in the Lord, many are the obstacles and situations that seek to sidetrack us, derail us and eventually destroy us. But notice the hope in the verse above: GOD will perfect that which concerneth me. The word THAT suggests the will of GOD in my life as it is in the life of David.…

  • Goal for Growth

    Phil 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. THe Apostle Paul is an eminent model for Christian service. He was on fire and full of faith. He was zealous and ardworking. He was diligent and determined, all for the cause of Christ ( Eph 3:1), and for the love of Christ (2 Cor 5:14). Yet, we see that even in prison in Philippi, Paul was not satisfied with his development in the Christian life. He was still aware that there was much more room for growth: and so it is with us – there will never be an end…

  • Giving our all…

    Proverbs 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. All things belong to the Lord, for He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the gold in every mine. If GOd was hungry, he would not tell us. There is nothing in this world, that He does not own; nothing except .. our hearts. GOd in His sovereign plan, gave all man a free will, to choose his / her allegiance. God did not want robotic hearts, nor does He delight in enslavement. He wants men to freely choose Him as their GOd and as their sovereign. How does one choose GOd as their…

  • Decision

    John 6:67 … Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? The Lord Jesus has preached a mighty message that HE is the Bread of Life. Whoever wants to live must come through Him. There is no other way, there is no other message and there is no other bridge to Heaven and to the true GOd of this Universe. Many cannot tolerate this message, many will not welcome this news. The bible records sadly that “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” John 6:66. Many who heard the word decided to walk away. Notice the Lord’s concern: He was concerned…

  • Reaping with Joy

    Psalms 126:5 – 6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Sowing and reaping is a law of the harvest: we will reap if we sow. Yet, in the ministry, the sowing process is very much hindered by obstacles, and hurdles. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and against powers, against the rulers of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. There is no ministry that is without tears, and there is no ministry without strife. Yet deep in this verse, is the promise that God…

  • Piercing Through

    Go ye therefore… Matt 28:18 The bible word GO comes from the root word peiro in Greek that gives the idea of piercing through. When the Lord Jesus gives the instruction to go ye therefore, it was not merely a suggestion but a serious command that He expected His people to follow. The goal is not only to go but also to pierce through, to make headway, to open up a pathway. We are to pierce ye therefore, ALL NATIONS. Is it possible that God calls us ALL to be missionaries, overseas? GOD did not instruct a vocation, but he gave us an OCCUPATION, that of telling people the gospel…
