We are in an era of spiritual freedom, allowing everyone to share what the Lord has revealed. However, these messages can obscure our comprehension of the Christian life and the entire redemption narrative. The Bible cautions that in the last days, demonic teachings will emerge, which could be reflected in what we hear today. This sermon provides i…

Psalm 14 characterizes a fool as someone who denies the existence of God. While this may primarily apply to atheists, it's important to note that even individuals identifying as Christians can fit this description. Our actions and interactions with others serve as clear indicators of whether we embody the foolishness mentioned in the Bible. We hope…

When someone creates something they trust, they want to showcase it to demonstrate its strength and endurance. Similarly, when God sees our faith in Him, He is pleased and wants to show others that because of our faith in Him, we cannot let go regardless of any life situation. Whatever you may be going through, God has evaluated it and is confident…

Life experiences, especially disappointments from those we trust, shape our perspectives on who God is. Due to teachings and our limited understanding of humanity in physical form, we often equate God to mere human status and behaviour, despite His divine nature. Only when we recognize Him as God can we approach Him without fear, as He is trustwort…

As a believer, it is true that although God answers all your prayers, some responses take time. You might have prayed for years, feeling like God is not listening. Psalm 13 presents a similar scenario. Trust and prayer for a light of faith in our hearts are essential to keep us holding. Remember, God is working it out for you, so keep trusting and …

Before Jesus died, he promised his followers that he would send the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth. The Holy Spirit is also referred to as the Helper, and his work extends not only to spiritual matters, but also to our daily practical lives. The message teaches how the life of a believer changes and progresses under the influence of the H…

As human beings, we are created in the image of God. Since we have His DNA, there are traces of His behaviour in us. We know that trust is earned; it deepens with time and experience. As it deepens, more secrets are shared, and more responsibilities are engaged. Similarly, God sees the faith we have in Him, standing on His word regardless of what o…

Every title comes with benefits, but also with responsibilities. Christians are referred to as a royal priesthood, a title associated with authority, wealth, freedom, and honour. While this might be the case, it is not complete; priesthood comes with responsibilities, which include teaching not only with your voice but with your life. The question …

While God listens and responds to every prayer we make, not all His actions are based on our requests. Some of God’s acts are based on His nature, which includes, among many things, maintaining His reputation. Some of the good things that we see around us have not been prayed for, but God, who knows what we need and wants to remain God, provides th…

The tongue is a tool that every person is given. It can be used for good or for bad. When used for good, it brings life, but when used for bad, it can destroy people. It can also bring pride to those who see God as nothing in their lives. The Psalmist calls on God to help because righteous people are fading either through death or by falling into e…

Life can easily be defined as the time between birth and death, but there is more to this definition. It involves engagements, benefits, recognition, acceptance, connections, and more. Jesus says He is life, but what does this mean? What is this life that He is referring to? One might wonder about the extra life Jesus is talking about and what diff…

Jesus Christ, who is the Light, has commanded all His followers to be the light of the world. These verses are often easy to understand, yet putting them into practice requires total yielding to the Holy Spirit.

Nations and wealthy individuals invest a significant amount of money in building bunkers. Bunkers provide safety during times of war and offer peace of mind until the situation stabilizes. Several times, the Psalmist David metaphorically describes God as a fortress or a bunker. Often, we are tempted to seek protection in our mountains (things we tr…

God still speaks and gives each person tasks. Our perceptions greatly affect how we act on His assignments. Sometimes we may only partially complete the job, or we may hide from Him thinking He no longer sees us. For His word to be fulfilled, He may allow a storm that not only affects us, but also those around us who are with us in hiding. Instead …

The world has established standards for everything to ensure that a product performs as advertised or expected. This holds true for Christians today. Jesus expects them to maintain Christian standards that have unfortunately been compromised by those who seek fame, food, or simply do not understand the costs involved. Regrettably, this causes other…

As human beings, we always want to be heard. This need extends to our heavenly Father. Whenever we call upon Him, we believe that He hears and answers. However, one obstacle to our communication with Him is idol worship. The things that have taken His place in today’s society. Idolatry is prevalent in the church and that drives God away from us. Le…

It often happens that the rich do not care about God. This extends to a point where they oppress the powerless who are poor. Without the power to challenge the rich and powerful, when they feel mistreated, many question God’s providence. On the other hand, the rich think they can go unnoticed by God in their evil practices. This Psalm sensitizes bo…

The death of John the Baptist illustrates that the Christian journey is not easy, but rather requires trust in God and a focus on eternal glory. However, the desire to be accepted by society has led many Christians to compromise their beliefs. True Christians who hold fast to the word of God may face persecution, even to the point of death. God, de…

As human beings, we often have the misconception that if we live righteously, everything we ask from God will be answered immediately. While God is quick to answer prayers and we do receive what we ask for, sometimes the timing of the answer may be years. This delay may lead us to remove the request from our prayer list, but it doesn't mean that Go…

God deserves all the glory, but the glory that pleases Him is the glory that is due to Him. He is not pleased by our evil acts that bring success, and then we testify of His goodness as if He did what we testify about. What we do outside His statutes should remain outside, but what He has done, let us give Him the glory that is due. Pursuing evil a…

One concerning issue today is the increasing number of churches and preachers. Despite efforts by some world leaders to stop the preaching of the gospel, they have not succeeded. What we need to realize is that what is happening is what God said would happen. As human beings today, we are here to fulfil His grand plan, which includes spreading the …

Many times, we tend to handle our life struggles without involving God. And even if we do involve Him, we often hold back some things and try to solve them on our own. However, God's arms are widely open, and He invites all humanity to call on Him, so He can reveal great and unsearchable things to us. When such things are unveiled, people will be i…

The feeling of being hated can be disheartening and make one feel rejected and demeaned. In extreme cases, this can even lead someone to consider death as a solution. However, when we take the time to reflect on God's wonderful deeds, we are reminded of His greatness and righteous judgment, which helps us to trust in Him. There is nothing that brin…

It is only a loving parent who will discipline a child. Although the punishment may cause pain to the child, the parent's intent is always driven by love and the desire to see their child become their best self. In the same way, God as our Father disciplines us, but it is always because of His love for us and His desire to see us repent so that we …

The Bible clearly tells us that to receive forgiveness, we must also forgive others. As Christians, we may find it challenging to put this into practice, especially when we feel the offense is too great to forgive. Yet, if we look to Jesus as our example, we see that He forgave those who persecuted Him, even in His darkest hour. Let us, therefore, …

At the Lord's table, we learn many lessons, and one of the most powerful is the importance of service. When Jesus, the Lord himself, washed the disciples' feet, he taught us that true greatness comes from serving others. In the kingdom of God, it's not about pursuing high positions but rather about humbly serving others with a pure heart. As Christ…

Many people believe that the Bible is too old to be relevant in today's world, but it is still very active. This way of thinking can lead us to believe that Jesus is not concerned with current issues. However, this is not true. In fact, Jesus knows about all the issues we face today, and He can tell you more about them than you might think. The onl…

Passover is a time for reflection and remembrance. We should strive to celebrate this important occasion in the most meaningful and respectful way possible.

There are various ways to reach the summit of a mountain, but the same cannot be said for our connection with God. Some teachings suggest that following the customs of our ancestors suffices for worshipping God, but this contradicts the teachings of the Bible. Such ways will not lead anyone closer to God. As per the Bible, Jesus is the only way to …

"When a farmer plants seeds, there is always a purpose behind it. It would be disappointing for the farmer to have a crop that doesn't meet his expectations. Similarly, as Christians, we believe that God is the farmer who has planted us on earth so that people can benefit from us. As you claim to be a Christian, is your behavior and walk in life re…

When we speak of God's good name, we refer to His integrity, reliability, and consistent reputation. He has consistently shown His goodness to humanity, revealing it even to young children. When we consider His good reputation in light of what He does for us, we realize that we are truly significant to Him. We can walk tall, knowing that we matter …

Individualism is prevalent among Christians today. As Christians, we tend to focus so much on our spiritual growth that we become useless in our earthly pursuits.

Prayer is a way of communicating with God, but there are certain conditions that must be met for it to be accepted. 1 John 5:14-15 mentions that we should pray in accordance with God's will. However, one may wonder what the will of God is that we should align ourselves with. The message outlines certain standards and conditions that must be met in …

Christians often start the year with a period of intensive prayer, during which they may also fast, make declarations of blessings, and seek God's protection. This is a valuable practice that helps to sustain people of faith. However, it's important to recognise that not all prayer requests will be answered, and sometimes, our doubts about God's po…

Many times, people betray us by saying things that are untrue. When we hear these things, we tend to deeply reflect on their veracity, wondering if we did something wrong to warrant them. David also went through such a situation, but he remembered who God was in his life and declared that he would continue to praise Him, no matter what. Let us hold…

As Christians, we believe that God hears every prayer that we make to Him and answers them all. However, sometimes we may not receive the answer due to the presence of principalities that block our prayers. In addition, there are things that the enemy has stolen from us, such as joy, peace, and marriage, among others. These are the blessings that G…

It is amazing to know that we are part go God’s master plan. You have a very special role in His mega plan and He therefore took some time on you.

It is an amazing thing to be recogn…

When Israel was in exile in Babylon, they felt like God had abandoned them. Their faith and loyalty to God were put to the test. They felt weak, hopeless, and rejected. However, God reassured them of His love, protection, victory over their enemies, and a positive change to their situation. If you feel like God has turned a blind eye to you, take c…

As human beings, we seek something reliable to attach ourselves to. Something strong that can protect us during times of trouble, and wise enough to guide us towards the best decisions in life. We tend to view God as distant and irrelevant to the world we live in today, and instead turn to the things we perceive as reliable. However, God remains al…

Every believer receives a spiritual gift from the Lord, which is meant to be opened and used on earth rather than being sealed and saved for heaven.
