Living In Christ And His Language
The Word of God is not a gospel that suits desires. It starts with what God says, then the Holy Spirit’s work in us through our reality as we pour in His truth to our hearts and minds. Let us look into 2 Timothy as we examine our hearts to see what is our ultimate goal of living in Christ and in His language.
Produce Fruit In Keeping With Repentance
Repentance is a great key in our faith living. For those who respond to the Lord’s call back to Him, repentance is truly a grace – or undeserved kindness – of God (Romans 2:4). And this ongoing repentance within us allows us to draw close to the purifying work of the Holy Spirit and experience increasing freedom from sin’s grip.
Detect, Discern and Depart From What Is Evil
In Matthew 6:23, it says, “But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” Now this verse is not saying we have no light in us, but that we fail to realise how great a hold darkness can have. Let us be very much reminded and aware of how influential and manipulative darkness can be, discern what areas lead us into darkness and how we can flee from it. So how to do we depart and flee from darkness?
My Stubborn Old Ways, The Unchanging God
Men are often looking to improve themselves, but it is not an easy feat is it? Over time, it can cause one to feel that since we cannot change, let us just remain the way we are and let it be. Now, if this thought is in us, it will definitely cause us to continue living in more fears, shame, indifference and numbness in life. But how do I deal with this stubborn old self?
Facing The Hardened Heart
We may not know whether a person will turn to God one day. We may meet with people who are resistant and cold towards the gospel. But let the gospel itself become the unwavered truth in us as we pray and interact with these people. And let us confirm that whoever God loves, He will surely bring their hearts to soften in His time as they receive His irresistible grace.
Touching The Cloak Of Jesus
Are you struggling with some hidden sins or past shame? Let us not keep it in hiding anymore. Healing begins when we expose the devil’s hold on us through these struggles. Bring it up before the Lord, work it through with His truth and if needed, find a spiritual leader to remind you and pray for you. The Lord can heal you and free you from your suffering. Let us take heart from the passage of Mark 5:25-34.
All Things Work For The Good Of Those He Loves?
One of the famed verses people use to uplift, encourage and strengthen another believer in faith is in Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who has been called according to His purposes.” But how do we make sense of this verse when the reality of life hits us in a very different way?
The Daily Battle Within Us
One of our greatest battle is truly the one within. Thus, we need to pay careful attention to our emotions and thinking system, lest it be accumulating untruths, doubts, worldly desires over time until we let it become a hidden folder within us, not dealt with, but causing us lots of spiritual lagging and dysfunctions.
How To Look At My Competitive Nature?
We are all in a race. At every stage of our lives, there is a race we run. But let us think about it, should believers be involved in competition? Now, let us look at it from a spiritual point of view through the book of Philippians.
Behold! The Lord Is Doing A New Thing
Are you often laden down with the despair, stress, failures or mistakes of your life? The book of Isaiah reminds us to remember not the formers things but behold, the Lord is doing a new thing in you. What may that be?
