  Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Proverbs 30:5   If you are one of the people who face difficulties and opposition when reading and studying the Word of God, today I want you to know it is because Satan knows the great power that is in the Word of God. Therefore, he uses a lot of effort to ensure you do not have time and focus to read the word of God. Satan uses various agents to distort the truth of God's word. We are living in times where the authority of God's word written in the Bible is being heavily criticized and questioned. People are questioning the validity of the Scriptures to guide their lives. The Word of God is law; the bible does not give out suggestions or advice;  what is written in the Bible must be followed. If you do not follow i, you will surely perish. Now, child of God, our word today says, "Every word of God is flawless;"  this means the word of God is perfect and true. The things God has spoken...

  You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20 Joseph is a person we know for the great things he did in the land of Egypt. However, Joseph's journey to becoming the Prime Minister of Egypt was not easy. Similarly, the hardships you are going through today are because there is something great that God has prepared for you. The battles you face are the result of Satan's fight against you, but he uses people close to you to execute his agendas. You might be surrounded by wicked people who do not want to see any good thing happen to you, just as it was for Joseph, who was hated by his brothers for no reason. People who do not want to see you succeed and be above them, people who are unhappy when they see you blessed. These are the people who plan and do bad things to you. These people could be your relatives, friends, colleagues, or sometimes even fellow Christians. I wish you knew every situati...

  "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 Are you wondering if God will accept you after all the mistakes and sins you have committed? Don't worry; His word assures you that, indeed, God wants you back and will be with you always. Jesus Christ, the Savior always welcomes you into His presence, regardless of how you feel or the mistakes you have made. Unfortunately, feelings of shame, fear, and failure can prevent you from realizing this, as these are among the reasons Satan tempts you to sin. Satan knows that if he can convince you to rebel against the Lord, you will feel so guilty that you will avoid His presence entirely. Isaiah 59:1-2 says, "Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear."  The main function of sin is to separate you from God. We all know th...

  "Jesus answered and said to him, 'It is written, Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' Luke 4:8" In most dictionaries, Worship is defined as showing reverence and adoration for a deity. It often involves acts of devotion, prayers, rituals, or ceremonies conducted to honour and express reverence towards a divine being or god. Worship can also refer to great admiration or devotion directed towards someone or something considered highly valuable or esteemed. The main and first commandment we were given by God is this one that Jesus said here: "Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only."  Many people think they are worshipping God, but in reality, these are some activities we have established ourselves, which when we do them, we think we are worshipping God. The truth is the foundation, and the meaning of worship is absent in those religious activities we do. Worship is to respect, love, fear, and depend. Many Christians interpret worship as the ...

  "Do not plot evil against your neighbour, who lives trustfully near you. Proverbs 3:29" God created us so that we can live together in peace, joy, and love, making the world a place of peace. The life we live is a result of our thoughts and attitudes. In His Word, God warns us greatly about having evil thoughts. In Proverbs 6, God tells us six things He hates, and one of those things is "a heart that devises wicked plans... Proverbs 6:18" Today, God speaks directly to us about living well with our neighbours. Here, He is not talking about just any neighbour; He says "Your neighbour, who lives trustfully near you."  Our God is faithful and trustworthy, and He wants us to be like Him. He wants you to be a trustworthy person; He does not want to see as a cause of anyone’s heartbreak and suffering. God does not like evil in general. The Pharisees asked Jesus about the greatest commandment: "Jesus answered, The first is this: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our...

  As an heir of God's kingdom, may you experience God's righteousness, peace, and joy in every area of your life and in your family. I wish you a nice Sunday . Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible

  But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. Psalms 130:4 Our God is merciful and gracious. In the New Testament, He has extended grace to us through Jesus Christ. Through Christ, we receive forgiveness of our sins, and God no longer counts our wrongs against us. When God shows us mercy and forgives our sins, it is so that we may change, obey Him, and love Him more. But also, when you see that God has forgiven your sins while you deserve punishment, know it is time for you to deeply reflect on your ways and conduct. When Peter met Jesus, he was a sinner, and Jesus showed him His kindness and mercy when He used his boat to preach and then miraculously helped him to catch fish. After all these things, the Word of God says: "When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, 'Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!' Luke 5:8" Do not become too familiar with God and see Him as ordinary because He has chosen to be silent a...

  "And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46" In today's world, there are many teachings of the word of God, and some teachers who teach the word of God have altered God's word and created their own teachings and instructions that are not what Christ said. In the book of Matthew 15:8-9, Jesus said: "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules." The problem with the church today is the compromising of scripture, and this has caused many people to sin against God because the things they do and believe are not from God they are instructions of people. Some people believe in God, but their actions do not align with what they believe and confess. They mention Jesus, but he is not in their hearts; their hearts are held and filled with evil and the things of this world. The second type of people are the ones who think what they were taught is G...

  "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12   Do not let your heart be a treasure trove of memories of past things that do not benefit you. You decide to hold on to or let go of those things that deprive you of joy, freedom, and peace in your heart. Maybe you think it is normal to feel condemned because of the things you did in the past and the sins you have already repented. And every time these memories come, they break your heart and take away the peace and confidence of your faith. But today, I tell you that this situation should not continue to torment you. God can not forgive your sins and mistakes and then keep reminding you of something He has already forgiven. Today’s word says, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Therefore, if God has removed and taken your sins far away from you, you also need to let go of them along with all the memories and j...

  May the God you trust never let you down. May he fight all your battles and give you victory. May this Sunday be filled with praises for God, our provider, and protector. Amen.

  "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." Psalm 32:8 Maybe today you have a challenge or problem that is giving you a hard time, and you don't know what tomorrow will bring, or you are at a point in your life where you need to make decisions and you don't know what the right choices are. Or you want to do something but so far you don't know how to achieve it, and you don't know how to go about it. If you are in such a situation, the only thing to do for now is to ask God to guide you, and if you have already done so, believe that He is working on your matter and therefore He will show you the right thing to do. Do not be afraid because of the uncertainties surrounding you now and the darkness you see in your life, even if there is something you once believed was God's will but it has suddenly changed and now you are worried, not knowing what God's will is. Do not give up, pray again, believ...
