Unless ye repent, ye shall perish the same!

admin

Just heard the news of a long time family friend’s passing. It is a common thing in times like these for many to question why; if the person who went on to the next life dies before 50, we respond “gone too soon”, and if over 50, we still want to believe that the person had enough strength for some more years. The thing is, the Word says we are appointed to die once and then face a judgement (Hebrews 9:27). Jesus proclaims the urgency of repenting while we have the chance in the following passage:
Now there were some present … Read moreUnless ye repent, ye shall perish the same!

Love God and love others

admin

O ften times we don’t understand the actions of another person, but may I remind us to love them anyway.
“And the King will answer them, I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.” – Matthew 25:40
Even if you consider the person to be an enemy; Jesus says to pray and bless them anyway. Who knows when we would act as an ‘enemy’ towards another and in turn need that prayer and that blessing. Only Jesus is perfect friends.
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that … Read moreLove God and love others

God lifted up my right hand and helped me

admin

Yesterday, our class had had an open book exam. You could use your text book but not mobile devices. In open book exams, it is usually difficult to sift through the many pages to find the answer. In some open book exams, while you may have the text book for reference, the questions are hardly derived from it. Thankfully for this exam this was not the case.
When the teacher told us that we were allowed to use only the text book but not the laptops or smartphones, I became a bit worried (you can search pdfs with a pdf reader). … Read moreGod lifted up my right hand and helped me

Trust and Obey

admin

God is abundantly more than good, abundantly more than great. I think I can grasp a little bit what He meant when He said, “I AM that I AM”. God can only be described with His own self because there is none like Him.
A financial struggle really can shake someone up, atleast for me, these past few months was really a walk of endurance.
What do you do when you are sure God told you to do this but the storm is so wild in that moment that you wonder did God really say this? Well, in short, you trust and … Read moreTrust and Obey

A Faithful Friend

admin

There was once a farmer who had a dog that had been very useful to him. But the dog was getting old, and sad to relate, his ungrateful master made up his mind to get rid of him by drowning him. So one day he took the dog with him to a large stream near his farm, and getting into a boat, rowed out to the deepest part of the river. He had brought along a heavy stone which he had tied to a cord and this he fastened around the dog’s neck. Then he threw him into the … Read moreA Faithful Friend

Merry Obedience to Christ this 2013!

admin

*Mat 6:33* But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
As we go into 2013, let us meditate on this verse. Notice it doesn’t say seek the provisions or the hand of the Lord but His Kingdom and righteousness. We receive all that God has in store for us when we walk according to His ways.
I am not sure where the idea of a new year’s resolution came from, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing to make one for 2013. I’ve decided to ask God for help so that … Read moreMerry Obedience to Christ this 2013!

Life Without Jesus is a Lamentation

admin

Lam 2:19 – Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
Broken fellowship with God is heart wrenching. God had allowed Jerusalem to be brought to a complete desolation by the Babylonians. The passage in verse 4 says that God “bent His bow like an enemy”.
There is a well known verse in the Bible that says “if God is for us, who can … Read moreLife Without Jesus is a Lamentation

God is my [our] home

admin

A poem about the wonderful Jesus. I hope you enjoy.
Be blessed.
God is my rock, my home
In His presence is where I belong
He’s all faithful, my entire hope
He’s my shelter from the storm
My God provides all I need
He sees all and watches over me
My God of great comfort
The God who broke my chains and set me free
When He called me that’s when life begun
Now I live, I live for Him
I am His servant
I pray I won’t leave His will undone
God works for the good of those who love Him
All glory to the eternal King
More praises to Him my heart will … Read moreGod is my [our] home

Always Something to Talk About

admin

Simply speaking, prayer is talking to God; having a conversation with God. It involves crying out, petitioning, listening, waiting, praising, worshipping, asking, interceding. Wow, why does it include waiting? Well, it ought to be continuous and God works in His own timing. While we wait, we continue to serve God, we continue to ask Him for deeper intimacy with Him. We might think that we’re all prayed-out; that there’s not much more we can ask for as God already knows and sees all we and the people around us need. Yes, God knows everything, but we should still continue communicating with … Read moreAlways Something to Talk About

Don’t forget to Pray

admin

The Bible says the prayers of the righteous availeth much (James 5:16). Recently, I have been reading about North Korea, and other places in the world where Christians are persecuted and oppressed. Open Doors states the following: “In practice, civilians do not have any rights. There is no freedom to build churches or to worship in homes. Possession of a Bible or Christian materials is illegal and punishable by death. The proclamation of the Gospel is strictly forbidden. Christian parents can’t even share their beliefs with their children until they are old enough to understand the dangers. Christians are viewed as … Read moreDon’t forget to Pray
