- We Are More Than Conquerors
In uncertain times, we must remember that we are more than conquerors through Christ. This powerful affirmation tells us that no matter what is happening around us, nothing can outweigh the victory we have in Christ. It serves as a reminde…
- Saved To Save
We must be exceedingly glad that we are saved from the punishments of our sins. But this salvation that we have must not rest in us. For we were saved because others might have prayed for us, interceded for us, coached us, or guided us in…
- Believe And Doubt Not
As Christians, we are called to believe in Christ and all that He has done for us. When we share this belief, we must share our faith, and not our doubts. We must not be a stumbling block to fellow believers, and most especially, to unbeli…
- Be Like Jesus
Being a Christian does not stop when you have completed a training or program. It does not stop either when you get baptised. It is a day-to-day decision, wherein your faith will be tested by even mundane and ordinary things. And in all of…
- God Created Us For Greatness
Just as He said that He loved us so much, God didn’t want anything less than the greatest for His children. He didn’t plan and execute everything only for us to fail. We are destined for more. We are destined for greatness. If you feel eve…
- Helmet Of Salvation
In a soldier's armour, the helmet is a vital part of survival because it protects the head, where the command center of the whole body is located. If it is damaged, the whole body may be of little to no use. In a Christian perspective, the…
- Exalt The Lord Thy God
We are commanded to magnify and exalt the Lord above our circumstances. And this will be our confidence when we magnify God despite our problems, that He is indeed able to handle every impossible situation. And we will know Him more and mo…
- Prosperous Future
Troubles can easily beset any person. The onslaught of problems, especially when it hits close to home, can mess up even the most successful ones. But a man who possesses a delivered and freed soul, mind, and emotions can overcome these be…
- Be Obsessed With God
We have come to a time where distractions can easily sway our focus from the most important obsession we should cultivate. We can be readily consumed by what we see, feel, and hear in our surroundings. And when we lose that focus, that's w…
- Practice What To Teach
We practice what we preach when we live our lives in reflection of what the Bible says. There should be no distinction about how we live our lives in church, at work, in school, or wherever we go. We must also aim to imitate how Christ liv…
- Jesus Christ All Powerful God
God in the flesh, that is how Jesus is best described throughout the Bible. When He came to earth, He carried power and authority, mystery and leadership. He is the Son of God. He came from God. He is the all-powerful God!
- Greatest Thing In The World
Have you thought about all the blessings you have experienced before and how God saved you and redeemed your situation, even when you didn't deserve it? He, the God of all the earth and the universe, owes us nothing because He is complete…
- God Is Faithful And True
The Bible said in Numbers 23:19, "God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" What a great comfort that is! Our God is ever true…
- Outbreak Of Love And Good Works
We were saved not just to be saved but to do the will of God in our lives and the lives of other people around us and the people we meet. We are now the instrument of how God's love will flow. And if we are willing and obedient, our labor…
- Love Increase When Given
The love of the Father given to us is not meant to just stay within us. It is meant to be shared and spread to as many as we can, because its source is infinite. A closed vessel on one end will fill up and just overflow and may touch those…
- Activate Our Righteousness And Holiness Continually
Holiness and righteousness are more than just a state of being; they are a way of life. It is a continuous, conscious effort to choose what is right in God's sight. Our daily routines must honor our God. It is a pursuit we must actively en…
- Set Yourself Free
There are things we would want to change about ourselves, by ourselves, but cannot do it on our own. That kind of power to change comes only from God. Read His Word. Stand on His promises. Do not waver. God is not a man that He should lie,…
- Arise Shine
Arise and shine! As much as morning is not very welcome to a night owl, because our natural tendency, as not a morning person, is to draw the curtain of the sunlight, drown in the darkness, back to sleep. The same is true in the spiritual.…
- Delight In And Be Strong In The Lord
We all face challenges and difficulties in our lives, but let us remember this one important and profound truth: that we are never alone in these struggles because we always have Christ on our side. We can always rely on His power and stre…
- We Are Holy People Of God
We are called differently from other people. We have been chosen and marked the moment we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. And the Bible says, let us be holy as our Father in heaven is holy. Yes, in this world, many are the in…
- What You Say You Shall Receive
Proverbs said that our tongue has the power of life and death, meaning, whatever we say, we will receive if we believe. Our mind processes first what we will say. So let us fill our minds with the Word of God. Fill it up with His promises…
- The Violent Take The Kingdom Of Heaven By Force
Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. The advancements of the Kingdom are greatly and heavily opposed by the k…

Jesus, being our Shepherd, means that we consider Him as the "Shepherd of our souls" or the keeper of our souls. When we let Him lead our lives, we will have everything we need because the "Shepherd" will be watching over every detail of h…

God’s love for us, His children of the promise, is not just a promise for the good times but also a refuge and source of strength during our darkest days. And to know that He generously gives it all the time, secures our souls that we are…

Jesus, being full of grace and truth, as what John 1:14 says, embodies the attributes of God, and how God keeps His promises. Jesus Christ's appearance is proof that God is a loving Father, whose love to us is steadfast yet also guided by…
- Great Calling, Greatly Pursued
Being a Christian is not limited to personal improvement and maturation alone. We are called to share what we have discovered and accepted when we received Jesus Christ into our lives. We have to step in and know that we have been instruct…
- Abiding In Christ By His Word
The Bible says that if we abide in Him, that is, by His Word, He will abide in us. And His Word helps us, builds us, and strengthens us in the everyday life we face. We can hold on to hope despite all the negativities happening around us b…

As Christians, we believe in this profound truth that Jesus Christ brings us victory over our sin. It is one of the greatest comforts we find in our faith. We have this hope that, whatever challenges we may face in life, no matter how many…
- Do The Works Of The Word
If you have heard the meaning of each letter of the word "Bible", given by people, they said that it stands for basic instructions before leaving earth. Therefore, there are directions to follow. There is work to do.
- That We May Be One
More than being united, Jesus prayed that believers would become one, moving and witnessing so that others might see the hand of God in everything we do. This requires maturity and humility in our spiritual walk so we can have space for ot…
- Be Filled With Holy Spirit Power
Do not waste your time mastering the things of the earth. Yes, it is good, but if it's already taking a toll on you, you may be having the wrong priorities. Put God first. Let the Holy Spirit work in you and with you. You'll see, everythin…
- Spirit Of Power With Us Always Part 2
We have been given the power and authority when we accepted Christ. Here are six of the powers we have that were mentioned in this podcast. The power of the cross, the power of His resurrection, the power of His blood, the power of His Wor…
- Spirit Of Power With Us Always Part 1
The Bible, in 2 Timothy 1:7, clearly states that we have been given the gift of the Spirit of power. Therefore, we do not have to stay in fear. What we have is the capability that God has given us to influence others or direct the course o…
- Live In The Light And In The Power Of God
Be free from everything that's holding you back from experiencing the abundant life that God promises to us. His light is shining already on and in us. His power backs us up in every way and every season of our lives. Let go and let God!
- Doers Of Jesus Works
We have been given the power and the authority in the name of Jesus to do miracles. It is one of the pieces of evidence that God is working in us, making us a living testimony for others to believe in Jesus as well. Let us live in this tru…
- Serve God In Spirit And In Truth
There is nothing in this world that is more powerful than a Christian living in a lifestyle of worship, aided by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling in the believer. This is reflected in his actions and words, as well as in every littl…
- Year Of Overcomers
There are many things in the world that can overthrow our confidence. A simple act or gesture can make or break our day, and perhaps, some major life decisions, too. We sometimes tend to think that there are no ways to break through; thus,…
- Absolute Faithfulness Of God
The Bible says in Psalm 90:2, "Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." This verse talks about how God stays the same from the very beginni…
- Jesus Christ The Greatest Gift
A gift is a freely given item given to someone whom the giver believes is worthy to receive it. God deemed us worthy to receive the greatest gift of salvation through Christ, though we have failed to believe in Him many times. He just asks…
- O Come Let Us Adore Him
Just like the old Christmas carol, which talks about the many wonderful things about Christ, perhaps the most excellent response is to adore Him altogether. Just think about the Son of God, seated at the right hand of the Father, who once…
- Prayer Our Main Business
During His lifetime on earth, Jesus never missed a beat of His Father's will. Why? because He is always in communication with His Father. There was no clock or watch during his time, but His prayer time must have been so intense and long t…
- Household Of Faith
We cannot control situations in life. There are ups and downs, lefts and rights, and forward and backward stances. What we can control is how we will react. But it's not always easy to stay on a good path. That's why we need something to g…
- Mighty Power Of The Blood Of The Lamb
The blood of the Lamb, the meek and lowly in heart disposition, of the One who shed it, for the redemption of our sins, is still continuously cleansing us from all sins and has forever granted us eternal life, to those who will believe and…
- Fully Convinced
The Word of God is alive and active. And God Himself is not a man that He should lie. He is faithful and true. If you can think of all the times He saved you, provided for you, protected you, and lifted you, know that He will do it repeate…
- Fullness Of The Holy Spirit
The fullness of the Holy Spirit means that we obey what he says. We will not have our way. It means that we are fully surrendered to His cause. We may ask, or doubt a bit, but eventually, will carry out His tasks for us. And in obedience,…
- Love The Weapon For All Warfare
When faced with persecution and troubles, the easiest way is to retaliate especially when the ego is touched. But, it was when we became a weapon for the enemy, for we allowed ourselves to give in to the plan of the evil one. Hard as it ma…
- God Is Able To Do
Is there anything hard to do for God? He can do it because He is the living God. There is nothing impossible for Him. We can think out of the box but there will come a time when our mind will limit us because it is, limited. But not God, w…
- Enlarge The Tent
Enlarge your tent. Tear down old walls and build new ones. Make room for more space for God to move, and then move. God has prepared greater things for you. See beyond what you see around you now. There is far more to it. God is waiting on…
