Do Greater Things Than Jesus… Really?
Jesus said His believers can do greater things than Him. But how can mere humans accomplish, not to mention surpass, the incredible feats of Christ? What is meant by “greater things”? Does it mean that Christians can perform more powerful miracles than Jesus? How does God help His believers do great things?
Cultivating a Thankful Heart
Do you find it easier to give thanks or to complain? It seems like the human tendency is to complain more than to be content with what we have and give thanks. Bad things seem to catch our attention first and more easily. Do you think you need help to cultivate a thankful heart?
Go Into The Red Sea, Saved By God’s Way
Prayer is essential to the Christian life. But what if a person keeps praying yet has no actions after that? Especially in matters where God has given clear guidance, will continual praying without action become a form of “delay tactic”? How far have you moved on after prayers? Being believers who have crossed over from death into life in Christ, how much have you been freed from the past bondages?
Not Sufficient But Made Sufficient
The world teaches that we can be self-sufficient, that we can chart the destiny of our lives and that we should rely on our own self-sufficiency. But can we really be self-sufficient? What does the Bible say? How can God’s sufficiency save us and help us do good?
Stand Firm, The Lord Will Fight For You
One of the hardest things for us to do is to stand still, especially in the face of dangers. However, sometimes God asks us to simply stand firm and watch how He fights for us. We all love to have God fighting for us. But are we willing to surrender our control and desires and let God fight for us on His terms?
Read God’s Word Yet Not Knowing His Heart?
If God’s word is so important that our lives depend on it, do you think you have understood God’s word correctly? How should we read God’s word? Through the word of God, are you able to understand His heart?
The Big Danger In Small Sins
Do you sometimes feel that small sins are alright, as long as you are not worse than other sinners? How can small sins be more dangerous than big sins? What “big” damage can “small” sins cause?
God’s Strange Yet Faithful Guidance
Many a times we may find God’s guidance “strange”. Why did He lead us on a detour when there was a shorter way? Why did He let us go the hard way instead of the easy one? Yet, do we know how much hidden dangers God had helped us evade by that “longer” path? And even if God really gives us the shortest and easiest way, will we surely follow Him?
Is God Small in Your Eyes?
Though Christians may not deny God, could we have unknowingly trivialized Him? Perhaps our circumstances make us feel that our God is small and cannot help us. Perhaps we think God is not big enough to satisfy us. Or perhaps, we secretly do not like a “big” God who controls us too much. Are we worshipping God on His terms or ours? Are we serving God or do we simply want a god who serves us?
Consecrate Yourself and Every Firstborn to God
In the relationship between God and His people, God is the major player, who initiates and sustains His relationship with us. Yet, we should have our due response too. God not only redeems His people, but He also wants His redemption to influence and shape our entire lives, such that we live to honor the One who redeemed us. As we commemorate God’s gracious redemption, are we willing to consecrate our lives to Him?
