*1.* “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” *2* “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” *3* “Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is…
We are so diverse in this world to recognize the full of differences that surround our existence without any biases. It means we need a tool to achieve this, and that is love. When you learn to love as you do with your native language, you begin to love tough people and those who are unlovable people. With love as an expression, you look for opportunities to be good to not only the difficult people in your life but also…
Have you not heard that love means you can express yourself at whatever levels love carries you? It would help if you asked yourselves what your purpose is for living. Is it to get your “right” opinion out there or to honour God? Honestly, the truth is that most people don’t care what you think, if you go to church, or whether you know and say all the right things. What gets their attention is what you do. It’s how…
*1.* “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” *2* “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” *3* “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” *4* “More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,…
Have you ever remembered why Eve lost her joy of staying in the beautiful, ever first, never like it, garden in this world? She lost the convent and lost everything with it. Think about Adam and Eve. They were in a perfect garden–beautiful, lush, flowers of every kind, fruit everywhere they went. They could eat all they wanted and not gain weight! There was no laundry to do! All they had to do was care for this fantastic God-given garden….
Have you ever noticed how the minor things in your lives that your attention away from the big picture? Do not get me wrong; something might be small, but not giving considerable attention to them could lead to a catastrophic end! However, some could remain small and indeed significantly of no effect at all! Notably, what so often doesn’t really matter, can irritate us to the point of losing our joy. Sometimes we forget the big picture. So often, we…
*1.* “And burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.” *2* “And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.” *3* “I have received full payment, and more….
The seventh seal opened in Revelation 8, followed by complete silence in Heaven. Subsequently, there were graphics displayed of what happened when believers prayed. I don’t know your view of prayer, but I suggest you never see prayer as a waste of time. In this Scripture, we see a little reality of what happened behind the scene when we prayed. As we prayed, it went to God like burning perfumes as sweet-smelling aroma incense, and God directed His Angels in…
Have you not heard that prayer is a privilege? Yes, when you come to God with a childlike heart, there’s no right or wrong way to pray. The important part is that you do it. Rather than think you need to commit to an hour of prayer daily, start with every day you will pray for three minutes. Start with such commitment, add to it for seven minutes, and go from there. Do not forget that prayer is a privilege….
*1.* “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” *2* “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” *3* “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” *4* “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Finally, all of you,…
