“… 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 […]

“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 […]

‘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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“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 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 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 […]

if you have never been let down at one time or another by a person or a situation you had hope in, which later turned negative, then you have been living on a planet different from ours. Jesus Christ was let down by a green tree from which he hoped to get fruit to eat. He got nothing. He was […]
