Praise In The Storm.

  Do you remember what Paul and Silas did at midnight when they were thrown into prison?  Acts 16:25-32 NKJV [25] But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.  [26] Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.  [27] And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.  [28] But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”  [29] Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.  [30] And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”  [31] So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”  [32] Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were i

Through The Pain.

 Difficult days are days of trial and growth.  3 facts  1. They will certainly come.  The only time trials will not come is in heaven. 2. You have 2 choices: Do what is right or get carried away with the pain. The best thing to do is to cry out to God instead of trying to handle things on your own. 3. It is a time to get tough skin over pain.  Pain is inevitable but we have to learn how to handle pain in the right way.      Today I read Psalm 57 through my pain and I realize that there is a need to cry out to God for help because He is there for us. So today, I choose to call out to God.  Psalm 57:1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You. In the shadow of Your wings, I will make my refuge. Until these calamities have passed by.

Our Light And Life.

Image
 The title was inspired by a young girl curious about how life came about. She asked questions and was told that God created the Universe and everything that exists today. She was a little satisfied but still had some questions. Questions no one could answer. She began to read books and landed on a book by a man named John. This John wrote on how everything that was made came about. In his explanation, there was a Word and by that Word, everything that was made came into existence. So there is the distinction between created things and the Creator. The Word Is God. John explains that before anything was made(in the beginning), the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1      In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In this passage, we see more than One Person mentioned as One was with God.  Was The Word Made or Created? This is a question I want us to ponder. John 1:2,      He was in the beginning with God. The Word was in the begin

Intimacy with the Holy Spirit

-
Image
This is the August edition of my “Encountering God” series. I feel led to discuss our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Firstly, I want to emphatically state that we cannot live a life pleasing unto God without the help of the Holy Spirit. He is a Person in the God-Head. We can feel His Presence when we accommodate Him in our lives. Someday we will meet Him in Heaven.   Right now, it is crucial to build a relationship with Him. The Bible says we have Him as Our Helper and Comforter. Sometimes even I do not fully take advantage of His role when I am down, and He prompts me to talk to Him.  The Holy Spirit helps us remember and realize that life is not just about the things around us but there is more depth to life in its spiritual sense and that all we do on earth will be accounted for by us to God someday.  If you are lonely, it is the perfect time to increase your intimacy with the Holy Spirit. If you are filled with joy, share it with Him. He should be our closest friend and Guide.

We will exist forever...

When I was little, I used to think about eternity and the state of never dying to the point of getting gripped with fear. It has always been my desire to find out more about the life ahead after physical death and of course, it is the truth I always looked out for.     I read and listened to many teachings. I also heard many testimonies of people dying and coming back but this one stood out to me the most.  I found some scriptures I would like to quote to you  Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ" Romans 10: 9-10, NKJV‬ " [9] that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will inherit the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Fa

The Real Life: Ready?

  Photo by Andrea Piacquadio: Will you be amazed to know that death is not the end of life but rather the beginning? This is because, at death only our bodies cease to exist. Our true self, soul and spirit will last forever.  Before sin entered the world, God planned it from the beginning of the earth to give us a perfect life in His eternal image.  After sin, we needed a redemption else, there was no hope for this plan anymore as we were bound to be seperated from God (also known as death). ‭Romans 6:23 NKJV ‬ [23] For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Jesus came to reconcile us back to God so that as many as receive Him will have no condemnation in sin or death. The transaction was done through His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead on the third day. So death is where the real life begins. A life planned by God from the beginning. A life in God's presence that never ends. Suicide is not a way to end cruel
