Christ Lives in Me!

“My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one!” — Galatians 2:20 TPT

The Harvest Is Great: Will You Be a Labourer?

“The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.” — Luke 10:2 (KJV)

Self-Control and Direction from the Holy One!

There is a powerful connection between self-control and divine direction. When we lose sight of God as our King, we can easily lose our sense of restraint, discipline, and direction. The Bible says:

Losing Ourselves to Gain Christ!

One of the greatest paradoxes of the Christian life is this: we truly find life only when we lose it. To the natural mind, this seems contradictory. The world teaches us to pursue self, promote self, trust self, and preserve self. Yet the call of Christ is altogether different. He calls us to lose ourselves so that we may gain Him.

Saved by Grace, Called to Serve!

Brothers and sisters, when we consider the greatness of our salvation, we cannot help but stand in awe of the grace of God. Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 1:9-10 that God "hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began."

The Ultimate Goal of Self: To Be Like God!

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me…” — Galatians 2:20

The greatest enemy of spiritual growth is not always Satan directly, but the fallen nature called “self” or “the flesh.” The ultimate ambition of self is to replace God, resist His authority, and become an alternative god.

Those Serving with Tears!

“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” (Psalm 126:5–6)

Abandoned to Self: The Cost of Rejecting God!

Scripture reveals a sobering truth: when people consistently reject God, He may eventually allow them to have what they insist on — themselves. This is not an act of cruelty, but a righteous judgment rooted in divine holiness and human responsibility.

The Amazing Love of God!

The love of God is not merely something He does; it is who He is. “God is love” (1 John 4:8). From eternity, love has been the very nature and essence of God, and everything He does flows from that love. Scripture reminds us that “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Our response to God is always rooted in His prior, initiating love toward us.

Giving in the Kingdom: What Jesus Really Teaches About Money, Grace, and Freedom

There are few topics in the Christian life as misunderstood—and as misused—as giving. Many sincere believers long to honour God, yet walk under burdens He never placed on them. Some give out of fear of judgment, others out of pressure from people, and some even hand over money they do not have—believing this somehow makes them more spiritual or earns God’s favour. But not only is this picture of God unhealthy—it is completely unbiblical.

Silent Battles: Encouraging Men Facing Emotional Pain in Marriage

In many societies, men are expected to be pillars of strength—unshakable, stoic, and always in control. Yet behind closed doors, countless men quietly endure emotional pain, rejection, and even abuse within their marriages. They suffer in silence because admitting such pain is often seen as weakness rather than humanity.

The Greatest Baby Dedication Ever!

The dedication of baby Jesus, recorded in Luke 2:21-40, reveals themes of obedience, prophecy, and redemption. It contrasts modern idealized Christmas celebrations with the humble and challenging conditions of Jesus’ birth, emphasizing God’s faithfulness. 

Beyond Death: Unveiling Hades, Hell, Paradise, and the Mysteries of the Afterlife!

The afterlife has captivated humanity for centuries. The Bible sheds light on what happens after death, yet terms like Sheol, Hades, Hell, Paradise, Abraham’s bosom, and the Lake of Fire often raise questions. When someone dies, it is not the end but rather the separation of the soul and spirit from the body. This transition leads individuals to a temporary realm called Hades, where spirits without bodies are contained. Hades has two compartments—Paradise for the righteous and Hell for the unrighteous (distinct from the Lake of Fire). These temporary states last until God’s final judgment. Let us explore these biblical concepts to gain clarity. 

Seven Evidences of Christ’s Resurrection!

The significance of Easter is often overlooked or distorted. All too often, Easter Sunday is more of a “coming out” ritual, a part of the celebration of the commencement of Spring, than it is an observance and celebration of the resurrection of our Lord. Once a year church attenders can show up to shock the preacher, and to give him his annual “shot” at them as they attend. Do you really trust the fact that Jesus rose from the dead! Here are seven evidences of it: 

Life-Giving Words From a Loving Saviour!

Jesus has just endured a horrible night. He has been unemotionally betrayed by one disciple and forsaken by all the rest. He has been unjustly arrested and charged. He has been inhumanely tortured and unceasingly mocked. He has been inequitably traded like so much merchandise for a common murderer. Finally, he has been unconscionably condemned to crucifixion. The account in Luke 23:26-31 teaches us that Jesus extends mercy to those who are unmerciful. As we celebrate Easter this year, we reflect on the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is a reminder of the importance of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without Him, none of this would be possible. 

God And Your work – Word For Today

‘I have chosen Bezalel.’ Exodus 31:2 NIV

"Every occupation has its own honor before God. Ordinary work is a divine vocation or calling." - Martin Luther.

The first person in the Bible who was said to be ‘filled with the Spirit of God’ was Bezalel. And if his name doesn’t ring a bell, it’s because he wasn’t a prophet, priest, king, or apostle. He was a craftsman, skilled in design. He had an eye for colour and a flair for management, and when it came time for building the tabernacle, he oversaw the job. Here is what God said about him: ‘I have chosen Bezalel…and…filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills – to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts’ (Exodus 31:2-5 NIV).

Part 2: Using Sex as a Weapon!

Sexuality is a wonderful part of our humanness, yet its importance in the success of a relationship is often overlooked or simply avoided. In the months and years leading up to marriage, a couple’s sex life can be hot and steamy, adding a heady level of passion to the relationship. Over time, long term damage can result by oversight and neglect. When sex is used to make war rather than to make love, the effects can be devastating. On a neurobiological level alone, the body is deprived of the truly positive effects of several neurochemicals, including the bond-building oxytocin. Instead, negative sexual war tactics build levels of stress-related neurochemicals, such as adrenaline and cortisol.
