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 […]

What Scars Do You Have?
Every one of us has a scar on our body following an accidental or intentional bruising of the skin. These scars are reminders of past experiences we delight in replaying constantly or memories we wish to delete if we could permanently. God could have decreed healing without any residual physical or emotional scars. When Jesus rose from the dead, He […]

A Case for Solitude
Solitude is an indispensable discipline for believers who want to remain Christ-centered and glorify God in their lives. Solitude is a lost art in our fast and busy world. Sadly, even many gospel ministers confess to the pressure and ministry demands that they cannot devote an hour a day to solitude with the Lord. No one can connect with God […]

Who Does God Love More: Sinner or Saint?
We know that God created all people, and He loves us so much that while we were sinners, He gave His Son to die for us. God is portrayed in the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15) as a father who loves the compliant son and the prodigal son equally. However, we see the father preoccupied with longing for […]

Fasting in the 21st Century?
“When you fast, …” (Mat. 6:16). Millions of people fast each day because they lack food. Thousands fast daily because their doctors order it before a particular test can be performed or to lose weight as the best option to manage their health conditions. Some fast to keep in shape, be attractive, or fit into the wedding dress. In the […]

Peace
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). Environmental peace has eluded us, and we cannot stake our hope on what the world offers. See daily news from the Middle East, Russia, Ukraine, Ethiopia, […]

Love
Love is a word that means different things to different people in different contexts. Generally, it is an affection for something that gives pleasure (Chambers Concise Dictionary). The Bible personifies love as God; “God is love” (1 John 4:16). This means that any meaning we give to love that is out of sync with the character and nature of God […]

Is Death Terrorizing You? Here Is the Solution!
The facts, first. Death was literarily nonexistent until the fall. Death is both spiritual and physical and separates us from God, our Creator. It was introduced as the sentence for sin. Jesus Christ offered Himself as the substitute who redeemed us and paid in full the penalty for our sins. Jesus defeated death when He rose from the dead. Now, […]

We Must Tell What Christ Has Done For Us
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 […]

What is Your Default?
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). If God is who He is and we believe Him, then it is inconceivable for anyone to ever seek help elsewhere except from […]

Complaining Saints
