The Benefits of Christmas
We celebrate Christmas because of what it signifies. Apostle Paul says, “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst” (1Tim. 1:15). We all must come to the place that Paul got to and claim the first position of being the worst of sinners. No one […]

How To Be Ready for Christmas
Christmas is here whether you are ready or not. How is one supposed to prepare for Christmas anyway? As Christians, Christmas is not so much about what we do, like shopping, decorating, exchanging gifts, visiting family, caroling, and so on. Christmas is much more about stocktaking of our response to God’s gift of His Son for our salvation. Our sin […]

A Thankful Heart Is Contagious
When we are thankful for what God has done for us, the world takes notice, as happened to the Israelites, “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nation, “The Lord has done great things for […]

Cultivating An Attitude of Gratitude
A good farmer begins by preparing the land and planting the best seeds of whatever crops he wants to harvest. The Biblical saying that you reap what you sow is a law no one can reverse. If you want to reap corn or oranges, you plant corn or oranges. If, for some reason, you want thorns, you plant thorns. You […]

What Wrong Has God Done to You?
“I have nothing against God,” a brother declared. What a profound statement to make! Not many of us can sincerely repeat that statement from our hearts. Although we know God’s character that He is good, Loving, caring, perfect, kind, gracious, and the list goes on, yet secretly, we charge God with negligence, insensitivity, and not caring for us as we […]

Solution to Winds of Adversity
“But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, Lord, save me!” (Mat. 14:30). The best security we have against life’s adversities is to stay focused on Christ and not on the problem. Many are losing heart today because of the economic, political, moral, and spiritual crises drowning us. We look at the problems, […]

Christian Leadership
Service plus sacrifice equals leadership. A genuine Christian leader joyfully serves others no matter the cost and seeks no personal gain. He goes first to ensure that his sheep will be safe and comfortable and leaves last to ensure no one is left behind. When treated as a servant, he rejoices in the spirit and thanks God for allowing him […]

What is the Right Way for Christians to Face Their Health Problems?
“… I am the Lord, who heals you” (Exo. 15:26). These days, when science and medicine have become the anchor of hope for many, divine healing is not expected in many circles. Once a doctor says there is nothing more they can do for a patient, all hope is lost. Doctors are limited in what they can do and sometimes […]

The Waiting Game
“Wait for the Lord” (Ps. 27:14). Waiting is a tough discipline in our digital and instant world. We hurry to execute our plans and agendas before inquiring from God, only to run into closed doors. We attempt to force those doors open through various means, but they do not budge. The waiting game with God has just begun. It is […]

The More You Give Out, The More Returns to You
‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ (Acts 20:35). As stewards of God’s manifold blessings, we are to serve as conduits and not reservoirs. Every blessing God gives us is meant to be passed on to others. God is not in the business of accumulation and hoarding; He is on a mission of distribution and blessing and wants […]

Jesus … said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” Mark 5:19 The story of the demonic-possessed man in Mark 5 could be the story of each of us. God, in His mercy, delivered us from the different situations we were enslaved […]

Prayer Warriors Are Power Brokers
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Mat. 26:41). The weakness of the flesh is exemplified in Israel’s battle against the Amalekites in Exodus 17. Despite Moses’ strong spirit, the battle would have been lost if Aaron and Hur had not lifted his hands, which had become […]

The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent (Exo. 33:11).

What It Will Take to Please God
When Enoch suddenly disappeared from the earth, the only information God volunteered to our inquiring minds is: “Enoch walked with God” (Gen. 5:24). The writer of Hebrews expounded that to mean “pleased God” (Heb. 11:5). We all claim to walk with God, but is God pleased with us? Pharaoh was pleased with Joseph, so he gave Goshen to Joseph’s family. […]
