Dietrich Bonhoeffer said: “We have become so accustomed to the idea of divine love and of God’s coming at Christmas that we no longer feel the shiver of fear that God’s coming should arouse in us. We are indifferent to the message, taking only the pleasant and agreeable out of it and forgetting the serious aspect, that the God of the world draws near to the people of our little earth and lays claim to us. The coming of God…
Have you heard that nothing happens by accident? Does God allocate His blessings randomly? Do people receive benefits or challenges of life by the randomness of events? You know that everything that goes on in life—the hardships, the uncertainties, the things that are not fair—they’re not random. Yes, the happenings are not spontaneous! God is authorising you to prosper, to arise, elevated, and enjoy the very best. God is always getting you competent to govern the weight of favour, the…
Scripturally detailing as: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.” (John 3:16-17 GNT). It’s all about eternal life for forever.
Have you heard that through faith in Christ Jesus, Abraham blessings belong to you? Have you ever explored the spiritual and physical aspects of receiving the benefits? Yes, with these blessings, you have a formula always to make your life counts. With this, you have far more beyond the benefits you could afford (2 Corinthians 8:3). As demonstrated to us by Christ Jesus, the formula remains for us to be like Jesus – living for others (Mark 10:45). Keep living for others…
In Zechariah 2:8-9 GNT, and I read: “Anyone who strikes you strikes what is most precious to me.” So the Lord Almighty sent me with this message for the nations that had plundered his people: “The Lord himself will fight against you, and you will be plundered by the people who were once your servants.” When this happens, everyone will know that the Lord Almighty sent me.” Meaning, your profound love for God will always make way for you even in the…
Have you not heard that you are better off all round without bitterness? It’s spiritual to rid yourself of bitterness…lest any root of bitterness, springing up cause trouble’ (Hebrews 12:15). The authentic approach is for you to love others as yourself as well as life continues to forgive others before the difficulty becomes entrenched in your feelings and starts feeding off your remembrances. Don’t accommodate bitterness of any kind! If you harbor resentment, it comes back to destroy you; meaning,…
Jane Tyson Clement said: “He who has come to men dwells where we cannot tell nor sight reveal him until the hour has struck when the small heart does break with a hunger for him; those who do merit least, those whom no tongue does praise the first to know him, and on the face of the earth the poorest village street blossoming for him.”
Have you ever heard that this God, I mean, this our God makes things happen without permission from anyone? Listen, when you trust and lean on God, you may not understand how this could come to be, God intervenes in your matter extraordinarily! I mean, you don’t have to understand; mostly, you cannot even understand, but indeed He makes things happen which you couldn’t make happen on your own. He always has a better, bigger, more generous, massive plan for…
How do we know such love? Can we possibly express or describe in human terms what this love means with its fullest expression? Is there an infinite loop of adoring such love? And on and on! Whatever, we could arrive at, it is written that: “Yes, may you come to know his love—although it can never be fully known—and so be completely filled with the very nature of God. To him who by means of his power working in us…
Dorothy Day said: “If everyone were holy and handsome, with “alter Christus” shining in neon lighting from them, it would be easy to see Christ in everyone. If Mary had appeared in Bethlehem clothed, as Saint John says, with the sun, a crown of twelve stars on her head, and the moon under her feet, then people would have fought to make room for her. But that was not God’s way for her, nor is it Christ’s way for himself,…
