GOD created angelic beings (see Hebrews 1). One of them betrayed God and led a revolt against Him (see Revelation 12). Defeated, Satan and his angelic allies were cast out of heaven. This foe of God is our adversary. Described as a thief, murderer, and destroyer (John 10:10), the accuser of the faithful (Revelation 12:10), [...]

Ephesians 4:1—3 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

He is not here. See the place where they laid him”. [...]

Occasionally the voyage gets arduous as if you’re ascending uphill, your body ambience’s fatigue, your mind may get weak, your feelings are unsystematic and you may even “speculate”, “God are you still with me, I feel alone”. King David through the Psalms expresses these sentiments, but regardless of his “emotions” he always makes a deliberate [...]

1 Corinthians 13:4-7  (NIV) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, [...]

Matthew 15:27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Come as you are to the Lord with your need, and lean on His unfailing and unconditional love for you. You don’t have to pretend to be more than what you are to receive the [...]

Have you ever thought about how much energy it takes to be bitter or hold a grudge? We only have a certain amount of energy for each day. If we use it for the wrong purpose, if we focus on the negative or dwell on whoever hurt us, then we’re not going to have the [...]

Every ne goes through difficulties and painful situations in life. In fact, scripture tells us that in this world we will have tribulations and trials. I’ve heard it said that the life of faith is not about the absence of problems, but the presence of power — God’s power at work in us, leading us [...]

1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Corinthian church, said that he determined to know nothing among them except, “Jesus Christ and Him crucified”.

Rom 3:20-24 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ [...]

John 16:7-11 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counsellor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and [...]

1 Corinthians 15:21-22 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. Death was introduced by Adam’s fall and everyone dies because of our identity in Adam – in the human race. Now those who [...]
