Have you not heard it repeatedly that life is a balanced system of learning and development? The balance that centres on the socially coopted view of pleasure or pain that every circumstance in your life serves a purpose? Is it not up to individuals to recognise what that purpose could be? According to the Preacher in Ecclesiastes 1:2-11, this life under the sun is grossly unbalanced! However, the addendum to have other life if you like provides a pastoral view:…
Brother Lawrence said: “There is nothing in the world as delightful as a continual walk with God. Only those who have experienced it can comprehend it. And yet I do not recommend that you seek it solely because it is so enjoyable. Do it because of love, and because it is what God wants. If I were a preacher, the one thing that I would preach about more than anything else is the practice of the presence of God.”
1. Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them! 2. Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully! 3. Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them His children! 4. Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be gracious to them!
Have you not heard that under the Sun all is the vanity of vanities (Ecclesiastes 1:2-11 ESV)? Have you not heard that taken away eternity with God is the loss of all essential, and from here to eternity? In this our journey to eternity, always remember that there is Balm in Gilead! God is still available to restore, heal, and bless till eternity! Yes, there is Jesus in His Church; He is the great physician in His temple, even in…
Have you not heard that there is indeed the Balm in Gilead? Is the Balm of Gilead not closely linked to spiritual medicine availability that can heal Israel and other nations under God (Jeremiah 8:22)? Permit me to say that very most recently kindly, I’ve been giving more profound thoughts to seeing the Balm of Gilead as the love of God to heal the nations of the world. I’m not into typology here, please! Love flies, runs, jumps for delight;…
1. There are no borders, no limits: Jesus sends us to everyone. The gospel is for everyone, not just for some. 2. The Lord seeks all – He wants everyone to feel the warmth of His mercy and His love. 3. The scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” 4. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Is anything changing today with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus? What could make the Gospel a today or a yesterday thing? Is the message therein good enough to remain the good news for today? Whatever question you want to raise, you have the good news in the Gospel, and the Gospel makes itself good for you every day. Recollect that this Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He will always cause you to hear good news in…
Where does Jesus send us? There are no lines, no restrictions: He sends us to everybody. The gospel is for everybody, not only for a few. It isn’t just for the individuals who appear nearer to us, more responsive, incredibly inviting. It is for everybody. Try not to be hesitant to go and bring Christ into each and everyday issue, to the edges of society, even to the individuals who appear to be farthest away, even to those who are…
1. The correct way of life is all about unlocking the right codes daily. 2. Jesus is the only way. What a code? And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved! 3. Enlight your path for all the way moving. 4. For the reward for taking the final wrong way is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, the way to…
Have you not heard that you should not live by bread alone? Have you not heard that you are more than what you and others can see? You are born of a woman to unlock some codes for your personal, gracious living! Without those codes, you get weaker and weaker each day until you return to the earth. Put it this way, born of a woman means you must learn to recognize the sacred and be renewed for daily living….
