Chasing God's Heart
After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Acts 13:22 When God searched for the next king of Isreal to take Saul’s place, He looked for one thing. David didn’t come from a royal family, in fact he came from a family that tended sheep....

Victory in Christ
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death - that is, the devil - and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. Hebrews 2: 14-15 Christ shared in our humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who has the power of death. Jesus Christ, the son of God,...

God's Ways Are Higher Than My Ways
God’s ways are Higher than my ways
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55: 8-9

Making things New
Making things New Forget the former things; Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18 Everyday God is moving and working in your life. Even when you feel like you’re just going through the motions on autopilot, God is still working in the backgroud. The bible tells us that He makes ways in the desert and streams in...

One Thing You Lack
Dear friends,
Are you struggling to live the Christian life today? Your rest is found at the cross of Jesus. If you want to find an effortless success, then, realize that it is no longer about you doing this or that right. It is about depending on what Jesus has done for you. Look at what man’s own doing has produced. Has any good come from his own effort to keep the law of Moses? When man...

Integrity
Integrity The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out. Proverbs 10:9 I believe that one of the most important charcter traits of a christian is integrity.In a christian point of view, I believe integrity is when our public life and our private life is the same. How often do we only show our good side when we are around people (especially when in the...

Sheep Among Wolves
I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefor be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves Matthew 10:16 The reality of our lives is that we are living in a fallen world. The bible tells us that our citizenship is not from here but from heaven. The problem is, we often forget who we are and where we came from. We tend to live our lives according to the pattern of this world and...

The Gospel that Paul Preached
Dear friends,
The power of the Gospel is to live each walking moment having the confidence that all your sins have been forgiven. Contrast this with living with a perpetual sense of guilt and condemnation that comes with thinking that when you sin, fellowship with God is broken, He no longer answers your prayers, He is far away from you, and until you repent and confess all your sins,...

Take up the Cross, Follow Jesus
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24 Did you know that God is your creator? That means that there is no one who knows you better than God. In all of our lives God is asking of us to lay down something so that we can follow Him without any hindrances. The reason why we can’t let go of...

Destined to Reign: The Secret of Reigning in Life
Dear friends,
You are destined to reign in life because you are believers in Jesus Christ. You are called by the Lord to be a success, to enjoy wealth, to enjoy health, and to enjoy life of victory. It is not His desire that you live a life of defeat, poverty and failure. Whatever your vocation is, you are destined to reign in life because Jesus is Lord of...

The Upright
Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace. But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off Psalms 37:37-38 We are people who are driven by what we see and feel right now. If we have money in our pocket or if we’re on the path to have money in our pockets we like to think we have a good future. The problem with that kind...

Bread in the House
Dear friends,
Do you sometimes wonder why it is so difficult to convince your friends and relatives that they need Jesus in their lives? You may have participated in short term and long term missions, but the success rate was low, or in “baseball term”, the batting average sucked. You tried to get your friends to come to the church but they had all kinds of excuses. Even those who...

Attention of my Heart
Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Daniel 3:28 Have you ever wanted to experience more from God? Where you can experience a life that is...

The Rich Young Ruler or Zacchaeus? Easter Special!
Dear friends,
I believe everybody is encountering Jesus personally on daily basis, however, different people may respond to the encounter with Jesus differently. I can see the contrast of these two groups of people from the stories in the Bible, in particular, the rich young man in Matthew 19 and Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector, in Luke 19. These two men were rich, but this was the only...

What Kind of Your Relationship You Have with God?
Dear friends,
Please have a moment to read what I want to share from my heart with you. Have you ever checked lately if your relationship with God has been at professional level or intimacy level? Many times, we, ministers to the Lord - in the churches, para-church organizations or marketplace, come to the Lord only for more annointing, more wisdom, more ideas, more help, more favour,...

God has the power to show you that He is God
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,: he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. Matthew 14:27-29 Read the title one more time and let it sink in… God has the power to show you...

Seeking The Lord
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Psalms 34:4-5 The solution to all of lifes problems comes from one place.. seeking the Lord. There is never a time where we pray and He does not listen. God always has an ear to hear. Not only will he hear you out, but he will answer you in His...
