Have you heard that old victory makes new attitude challenging to get? Yes, yesterday’s mood will stay old today. You need a recent win to keep going! Meaning, you keep winning if you start fresh and new. It is synonymous to letting past negatives from yesterday remain with the past, and you are gaining divine speed for next onward victory! You may ask what of ‘archive of the old.’ I say to you remembering old damages, pondering what you lost,…
Yes, the righteous cry for the better things! Things of heaven; that of faith and holiness! Scripturally, the righteous cry is indeed a holy call to the Lord – “The righteous call to the Lord, and he listens; he rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who are discouraged; he saves those who have lost all hope. Good people suffer many troubles, but the Lord saves them from them all;” (Psalm 34:17-19 GNT) It is time for the righteous call,…
Dietrich Bonhoeffer said: “Celebrating Advent means learning how to wait.… Not all can wait – certainly not those who are satisfied, contented, and feel that they live in the best of all possible worlds! Those who learn to wait are uneasy about their way of life, but yet have seen a vision of greatness in the world of the future and are patiently expecting its fulfilment. The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul,…
Yes, the mercy of God! Have you heard that God’s mercy works outside the realm of human theology or understanding? What is your perception of that happening on the Cross? Have you considered a picture? Have a reflection on it. It’s captivating, when Jesus was on the cross there was a criminal hanging close to Him, being killed also. This man had done a great deal of wrong, carried on with a daily existence that he wasn’t glad for, however…
The Bible is clear: God cherished the world so that He gave for us His only Son (John 3:16). God loves the world with an enthusiasm that surpasses our own. God loves this planet and all its numerous occupants. At the point when we neglect to like that God is human with us, that He made Himself nothing and is the residue of the earth with us, the gospel comes to be more about what it means, more about emotions…
Daniel J. Stulac said: “The gospel begins with a birth. Christians claim that the God of the universe has made a remarkable intrusion into the human predicament. The God of the Precambrian soup, the God of the Carboniferous forests, the God of the Cretaceous and the Pleistocene, the God of the triceratops and the wooly mammoth: that same God, Christians say, was born in a barn. The Bible is clear: God loved the world in such a way that he…
Yes, things could find their ways upward difficult! Afterwards, the Scripture says; “Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;” (Job 5:6 KJV). Also, “Rain falls on the just and the unjust.” (Matthew 5:45) No one is invulnerable to troubles. “No indeed! We bring trouble on ourselves, as surely as sparks fly up from a fire.” (Job 5:7 GNT). You know what? If you remain in faith, I mean, stay with Jesus;…
Yes, the truth will set you free! Scripturally, So Jesus said to those who believed in him, “If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32 GNT)
Karl Rahner said: “Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise. Every year we roll up all our needs and yearnings and faithful expectation into one word: “Come!” And yet, what a strange prayer this is! After all, you have already come and pitched your tent among us. You have already shared our life with its little…
Mother Teresa said: “I don’t think we could have ever loved God if Jesus had not become one of us. So that we might be able to love God, he became one of us in all things, except sin. If we have been created in the image of God, then we have been created to love, because God is love. In his passion Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love, how to forget out of humility. Find Jesus,…
