Unveiling the Christian truth neglected in many circles
Many in the practice of their faith neglect to see this salvation in a broader aspect of their freedom from the pain’s of death and the eternal fire of hell. We soon become very comfortable with the idea of our status of being justified through our faith in Jesus Christ and our hearing becomes dull in listening to the voice of the Spirit. Here is where the ultimate danger hides. The Christian community becomes dull of hearing and begins to create a mirage of their own, instead of the truth of their calling. Fantasy replaces the true Christian ethics and many are dreamers in the body of Christ who dream their own fantasies instead of adhering to God’s truth. One of them is the ...Read More...
Entering into a new dimension of life called, Life in the Spirit
One of the most profound truths of the Bible is the reality of man’s creation in the likeness of God. The Bible in the book of Genesis records that God created man in His own image and likeness. Saying “ Let Us make man in Our own image, according to Our likeness.” (Gen. 1:26 ) This speaks of the presence of God’s spirit likeness in man. Leaving the reality of Christ Christophany and the heavenly realm of eternity, we must acknowledge this one thing about our God that He in His creation left man the evidence of His being by breathing into His nostrils the Nafesh or the breath and at the same time gave man His likeness in giving him the spirit . Later on we read in John chapter 4 ...Read More...
Conquering our greatest enemy within.
One of the most incredible mysteries yet to be revealed is the presence of a fierce enemy that lives within us. This instigator of all spiritual warfare within us is the old nature of sin that lies dormant within each one of us. The discovery of this hidden enemy within us is the road to victory. Apostle Paul being an apostle of Jesus Christ is the best example for us. A man who received such privileged revelation from God lived the rest of his stay in this body of flesh to win the war that was set before him. In the end of His life on earth this is what Paul delivered to his followers. I fought the good fight, I finished my race and I kept my faith. One of the most undesirable truths ...Read More...
Glory of the unfathomable God
The book of the 1st Kings is a very awesome demonstration of a an unfathomable God in His eternal plans of salvation, redemption and provision and sustenance. When the entire nation of Israel was in idolatry and Baal worship, Elijah was the prophet who was sent by God to bring and end to the idolatrous worship of these foreign god. In chapter 17th of the 1 Kings the third verse the Lord says the following to Elijah…… “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into Jordan.” verse 4 says “ And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there”. By this began the greatest story ever told in ...Read More...
Integrity
What is integrity? Does the word of God speak about integrity? Who is a man or a woman of integrity? These are questions raised in my mind in these final days. The scripture portrayed here in Proverbs 10:9 says the person walking in it walks securely, what an awe inspiring assurance. Meaning of the word Integrity is = Integrity means doing the right thing when no one is watching. It means to be honest and virtues before God and men at all times. This is a Godly character produced in men through the Holy Spirit’s impartation of His divine nature. The scripture speaks about it in many places of the Old and the New Covenant and by them it gives us one of the highest characteristics of ...Read More...

A great challenge in faith is to understand the true meaning of reputation!
What is the meaning of the word reputation? The estimation in which one is held; character in public opinion; the character attributed to a person. This is the picture of the outer man which is seen in public’s eyes, which is an important social status or repute among men. However the word of God teaches us in Philippians 2:7 that our Lord Jesus leaving the glory of Heaven in emptying Himself in a form of man, He made Himself of no reputation. What an oxymoron? Or what a contradiction to the earthly understanding of our humanity. As men we expect praise from one another and feel very good when we are praised, but Jesus said He does not accept praise from men, knowing what is in men. ...Read More...

This amazing title speaks of an amazing story. Many of us like me hate the concept of separation. The word separation brings us all the thoughts of abandonment and rejection. Rejection is a great demonic tool which destroys many lives, therefore to be separated from…. Is always taken in a negative essence. However today I would like for us to start looking at this word in a new and positive way. Separated to conquer separation is an awesome revelation from the Lord. The entire Bible speaks of this mystery in many dramatic ways and it always have an amazing meaning to us, the redeemed The entire word of God speaks in regards to God’s election of a special people by separating them to ...Read More...
