We celebrate Christmas because of what it signifies. Apostle Paul says, “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst” (1Tim. 1:15). We all must come to the place that Paul got to and claim the […]

How To Be Ready for Christmas
Christmas is here whether you are ready or not. How is one supposed to prepare for Christmas anyway? As Christians, Christmas is not so much about what we do, like shopping, decorating, exchanging gifts, visiting family, caroling, and so on. Christmas is much more about stocktaking of our response to […]
Read MoreA Thankful Heart Is Contagious
When we are thankful for what God has done for us, the world takes notice, as happened to the Israelites, “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said […]
Read MoreCultivating An Attitude of Gratitude
A good farmer begins by preparing the land and planting the best seeds of whatever crops he wants to harvest. The Biblical saying that you reap what you sow is a law no one can reverse. If you want to reap corn or oranges, you plant corn or oranges. If, […]
Read MoreWhat Wrong Has God Done to You?
“I have nothing against God,” a brother declared. What a profound statement to make! Not many of us can sincerely repeat that statement from our hearts. Although we know God’s character that He is good, Loving, caring, perfect, kind, gracious, and the list goes on, yet secretly, we charge God […]
Read MoreSolution to Winds of Adversity
“But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, Lord, save me!” (Mat. 14:30). The best security we have against life’s adversities is to stay focused on Christ and not on the problem. Many are losing heart today because of the economic, political, moral, […]
Read MoreChristian Leadership
Service plus sacrifice equals leadership. A genuine Christian leader joyfully serves others no matter the cost and seeks no personal gain. He goes first to ensure that his sheep will be safe and comfortable and leaves last to ensure no one is left behind. When treated as a servant, he […]
Read MoreWhat is the Right Way for Christians to Face Their Health Problems?
“… I am the Lord, who heals you” (Exo. 15:26). These days, when science and medicine have become the anchor of hope for many, divine healing is not expected in many circles. Once a doctor says there is nothing more they can do for a patient, all hope is lost. […]
Read MoreThe Waiting Game
“Wait for the Lord” (Ps. 27:14). Waiting is a tough discipline in our digital and instant world. We hurry to execute our plans and agendas before inquiring from God, only to run into closed doors. We attempt to force those doors open through various means, but they do not budge. […]
Read MoreThe More You Give Out, The More Returns to You
‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ (Acts 20:35). As stewards of God’s manifold blessings, we are to serve as conduits and not reservoirs. Every blessing God gives us is meant to be passed on to others. God is not in the business of accumulation and hoarding; He […]
Read MoreA Case for Solitude
Solitude is an indispensable discipline for believers who want to remain Christ-centered and glorify God in their lives. Solitude is a lost art in our fast and busy world. Sadly, even many gospel ministers confess to the pressure and ministry demands that they cannot devote an hour a day to […]
Read MoreWho Does God Love More: Sinner or Saint?
We know that God created all people, and He loves us so much that while we were sinners, He gave His Son to die for us. God is portrayed in the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15) as a father who loves the compliant son and the prodigal son […]
Read MoreFasting in the 21st Century?
“When you fast, …” (Mat. 6:16). Millions of people fast each day because they lack food. Thousands fast daily because their doctors order it before a particular test can be performed or to lose weight as the best option to manage their health conditions. Some fast to keep in shape, […]
Read MorePeace
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). Environmental peace has eluded us, and we cannot stake our hope on what the world offers. […]
Read MoreLove
Love is a word that means different things to different people in different contexts. Generally, it is an affection for something that gives pleasure (Chambers Concise Dictionary). The Bible personifies love as God; “God is love” (1 John 4:16). This means that any meaning we give to love that is […]
Read MoreBearing Fruit Is Automatic
if you have never been let down at one time or another by a person or a situation you had hope in, which later turned negative, then you have been living on a planet different from ours. Jesus Christ was let down by a green tree from which he hoped […]
