If the devil tempted Jesus Christ at his most vulnerable moments, he will tempt you, his follower. Temptations come when you least expect it. An innocent act here, a little white lie there and by the time you know it, you are neck deep in it. Even when you keep yourself pure, the devil will…
I was going through my inbox one day when I stumbled upon an old email from a friend. The email content contained a long hurting conversation with my friend. We were both offended by each others behaviour and felt hurt towards each other, yet none of us was willing to back down. My friend and…
Heartbroken Christians can find healing and comfort from God when they turn to God declaring these Bible declarations. I remember the day my heart was broken over past sins such as stubbornness, pride, selfishness, immaturity and hasty decision making. I was overwhelmed by God’s mercy and how he steadily broke my heart for what breaks…
In spite of the absence of peace in the world, Christians seeking peace of mind must first pursue peace with all men (Hebrews 12:14). This is the reason why Jesus Christ demonstrated how to have peace with others in the Bible. When he anticipated that trouble might ensue with the tax man should he refuse…
Today is the day the Lord has made, you must rejoice with thanksgiving in your heart to God and be glad in it. This is the day of goodness and of mercy. This is the day of his grace and loving-kindness. This is the day the Lord God will provide for all your needs according…
Perhaps the Holy Spirit has convicted you of hurting other people’s feelings and you wonder how to go about it. The following Bible Prayer will help you to pray for God’s forgiveness and cause you to repent from hurting others henceforth.
It may not come naturally for new believers to develop and express the goodness Christian character. Not in the world where evil and wickedness is prevalent with corruption, dishonesty, indecency, cruelty, immorality and the likes anyway. To embrace this benevolence would mean going against the norm and choosing to conform to the nature of Jesus…
As a Christian, I do not expect to keep waiting on God in prayer yet keep meeting with cold silence from my heavenly father. If I ask my earthly father for a gift, he will most certainly find a way to give it to me without delay. Why then does God delay in responding to…
Staying in faith can become a struggle for new Christians if care is not taken. I once read about a muslim who had an encounter with Christ and she eventually surrendered to Christ. Throughout her lifetime, Begum Bilquis Sheikh followed Christ with all her mind. However, the journey to leaving Islam and becoming a fully fledged Christian was not at all that smooth.
You may have given up things of comfort or of immense importance to you during this lent season. Since this is the season for repentance, cleansing, and forgiveness, why not give up strife as well? I read about somebody who decided to give up worry for lent. With God’s help, you too can give up…
Think of prayer as an application on a mobile phone. The applications (apps) keeps the phone running. Without the apps, the phone cannot function appropriately and you won’t be able to use the phone to your content. If the apps run the phone runs. If the apps do not run the phone does not run. It’s the apps that keep the phone functioning. Likewise, prayer keeps your Christian journey running.
An offence always breeds strife and it will come but when it comes, how do you respond? Do you respond word for word or do you slide it under the carpet for when you can respond in revenge? How you respond really matters to God and as a child of God there must be an…
Are you at peace with God or do you hold God responsible for the hurt, the heartache or the sufferings of the world? Anybody who does not have peace with God cannot have peace with man, for God is the maker of man. Have you ever seen a product fighting its maker? It’s very unheard…
Accepting and carrying out personal responsibilities can be quite daunting in the world that shifts blame on others. Thankfully, Christians don’t need to play the same game as the world does but we can renew our minds by tapping into the word of God as a source of help needed to work out own salvation…
Should you struggle with admitting wrongdoings, do not be ashamed of it, do not cover it up, instead seek God’s help in humility and ask him to help you to be considerate of others in deeds and in words.
