Tremble Because He Lives In You

admin

At fellowship today, a brother said something that indeed reached to my spirit. He said that we should tremble at the thought or knowing a Holy God wants to dwell in us. God promises His Holy Spirit to all those who believe in the Name of Jesus Christ. It is truly a privilege to be chosen by God. As another brother puts it, it is unfair for us to go to heaven because we are all wretched sinners who deserve to go to hell, but God in His abounding mercy redeemed us! Praise Him, praise His Holy Name!! 🙂

Another Year In His Grace

admin

It’s 2012! Another year to serve Him Who gives life. I pray this year instead of growing weary in our walk, that we will see this new year as another opportunity to have deeper and more meaningful fellowship with the Lord God. Today I was moved by the Spirit of the Father speaking through the pastor today. What remains with me was the reference of a famous race horse who runs faster and faster the further and nearer to the end he got. The pastor implored whether we ourselves (even in our old age) want to “grow stronger and better … Read moreAnother Year In His Grace

Get There, Be There

admin

I haven’t come across anyone who’d prefer their friends to keep troubling matters to themselves. We often want a person to feel comfortable in confiding with us; opening up their hearts to let us know their deepest hurts. And many times it may be something that we ourselves are going through or went through. But what if it’s not? What if your friend comes to you and says they lived in an abusive home, drink to sleep because of the grief caused from the past; what do we say then? Sometimes, there’s nothing we can say. If a friend is … Read moreGet There, Be There

The Good Harvest

admin

Life like a corn harvest can be challenging as well as tiring. Today, I as well as some other mates had the privilege to harvest corn at the Bethel foundation, which is a home for blind orphans in China. Without a good system in place, the task could have proven to be an unnecessarily tiring one. Our group decided instead of chopping all the corn stalks down and then picking out the corn cobs in the heap of chopped down corn stalks, while one chopped the other would pick and another would also bag. We did this in a row … Read moreThe Good Harvest

Say No to Doubt!

admin

After reading a chapter in Stormie Omartian’s book, The Power of a Praying® Woman, God has shown me that I have been sinning against Him, and I didn’t even realize it. There is a dream in my heart, and though it is a godly dream, I’ve come to understand that I must surrender my dream to Him. All along I was trying to make my dream happen instead of trusting God to make it happen. I’m going to stop there and make this very short and to the point. Lack of trust in God is a sin, doubting God is … Read moreSay No to Doubt!

The Great Commission

admin

Wake up! So you say that you’re a follower of Jesus Christ, wonderful! You sing songs “I have the blessings of Abraham”. Hey, did you know that Abraham when called by God just obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going? Many of us just tap our feet, clap our hands and think that’s about it. We pray: “Father, raise up labourers to preach the word to the lost souls.” Guess what, you’re that labourer that God has called. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you should know now that you have work … Read moreThe Great Commission

The Greatest Preacher Who Still Lives

admin

I think all of us can agree that Jesus Christ is the greatest preacher of all time. Many of us have read in Scripture or heard about the Sermon on the Mount. The following clip gives a taste of how powerful the actual event might have been. Although this is not strict word for word with Scripture verse order, I find that the man who acts Jesus performs very well and I have been encouraged by this 12 minute Sermon on the Mount version. So I decided to share the clip. I suggest though that you first read Matthew 5&6 … Read moreThe Greatest Preacher Who Still Lives

Leave Me Sin

admin

It is truly a struggle, conviction by the Holy Spirit has lead me to write the following…
I am ashamed; I do not do everything in love.
My anger gets the better of me.
But what is the better of me?
If I act out of the love of God,
Is there any good in me?
Certainly not!
For goodness out of God, “goodness” where there is no Him, is like filthy rags.
And more so, whatever I have but lack love, I am nothing.
I hate you sin, your haughtiness, your selfish ways
For you are not of God and lead … Read moreLeave Me Sin

We’re blessed enough…

admin

I think we haven’t comprehended how blessed we are. Who me? I’ve got financial issues, relationship issues, even my clothes don’t seem to like me much these days. I’m anything but blessed. Well, you’re wrong. You’re blessed because of the grace of Jesus Christ. That’s a short statement, but it is a powerful one. Jesus Christ has freely laid down His life for the sins of the world, for Jews and Gentiles alike. We don’t even have to earn His free gift of salvation. (There’s no way we can earn something that’s free, else it wouldn’t be free to begin … Read moreWe’re blessed enough…
