Who are you living for?

John  6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.  6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. Jesus reveals the essence of his mission on earth – to fulfill the will of his Father in heaven. But beyond this, he presents a  principle for all humanity: the importance of aligning our lives with a higher purpose, of living not for ourselves, but for something greater. Many are times  we find ourselves consumed by the desires of the flesh, the pursuit of worldly success, or the fleeting pleasures of this life. We become ensnared in the pursuit of personal ambitions and temporary gratifications, losing sight of the greater calling that beckons us. Yet, Jesus offers us a different path – a path of selflessness, of surrendering our will to the divine will. He shows us that true fulfillment is found not in the accumulation of wealth or status, but in serving others...

Life after death

Hebrews  9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. There is life after this life. 1 Corinthians 15:19 tells us that if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. We should have a faith that takes us beyond the grave. life after death is the cornerstone of our Christian belief. It's the assurance that our existence doesn't end with the final breath, but extends into an everlasting communion with our Creator. As followers of Christ, we don't live for this temporal world alone, but for the eternal kingdom awaiting us. The hope of life after death gives us a confidence that is greater than the trials and tribulations of our earthly journey. Our faith in Christ grants us the certainty that death is not the end but a gateway to a glorious reunion with God. B...

The greatest love

John  15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Jesus summarise the essence of the greatest love known to humanity. Love is often spoken of, written about, and sought after, yet in its purest form, it is found in self-sacrifice. Jesus himself demonstrated this ultimate act of love through his sacrifice on the cross for the salvation of humanity. But what does it mean to lay down one's life for another? It goes beyond mere physical death. It encompasses a willingness to sacrifice, to serve, and to put the needs of others above our own. It is a love that is unconditional, sacrificial, and transformative. The greatest love is not found in grand gestures or extravagant displays, but in the everyday moments of selflessness and compassion. It is found in the parent who sacrifices their own comfort for the well-being of their child, in the friend who stands by your side in times of trouble, and in the stranger who extends a helping hand ...

Essence of the Holy Spirit

Acts  10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. The Holy Spirit, the spirit of God is an active agent of empowerment. Jesus, the Son of God, was anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. This anointing empowered Him to fulfill His divine mission on earth. Similarly, the Holy Spirit empowers us to live out our calling, equipping us with spiritual gifts and strength to carry out God's will in our lives. Also, the Holy Spirit gives the power of healing. The ministry of Jesus was characterized by compassion and healing. He went about doing good, bringing healing to the brokenhearted, freedom to the captives, and sight to the blind.  Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus performed miracles of physical and spiritual restoration, demonstrating God's love and mercy. Today, the Holy Spirit continues to be the source of healing in our lives, bri...

The voice of the Lord

Genesis  3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. This verses above was where Adam and Eve, after sinning against the Lord’s command, hear the voice of the Lord walking in the garden and hide themselves because they are afraid.  This is not the first time they would be hearing the voice of God, but this time, it was different, not because there is a change in tone of the voice of God, but because there is a change in the nature of man.  The nature of God has never changed since the begining, He is consistent in His relationship with man, only that, man often relinquish from the nature God has purposed for us.  Despite  the changed nature of man, the intimacy of relationship God desired for us never change. The Lord, in His infinite love and mercy, sought communion with His creation, desiring to walk alongside t...
