Verse Isaiah 48:17 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Message You know, it's so easy to think that our lives are led by God just by the mere fact that we go to church. It's easy to think that we are in His will because we can quote a myriad bible verses over the top of our heads.  It's really common these days to hear people say "I am fine by the Grace of God", even when they are being oppressed by the devil. It's really common to see people endure hardship on a pathway that has not been carved out for them by God. As we can see in the above verse, it is God who teaches us to profit by leading us to make strategic choices in life as a part of our God-given purpose. It is only up to us to submit our lives completely to Him.  God wants to teach us and lead us; to place us in His Kingdom far above principalities, powers and al...

Verse Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Message It's Easter again, and as usual, many people all over the world are going to be celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As a result, it would be typical to hear people screaming out loud, "He is risen" or "Jesus is alive." Many Christians have got the Easter story at their finger tips (after watching 'Jesus movies' on the television every Easter who wouldn't?) We all know that Jesus rose up from the grave three days after He was buried: one of the pillars of our faith. But the question is, do we really understand the significance of the resurrection?  "He died and rose from the grave, because God used Him as a sacrifice for my sins; I am a sinner deserving eternal damnation and Jesus took my...

Verses Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Message What's the point of having over a 100 friends or followers, if we can not make a difference in their lives? What's the point in calling them friends, if we do not treat them as friends, but rather, like familiar faces on a "friends list"? We all love it when our friend or follower counters goes up. "Oh I have got a new follower...Someone just followed me, they love me or are interested in engaging with my content," we say. We all yearn to be loved, and these counters help in feeding our "love hunger". However, the question is, how hungry are our followers? How hungry are they to...
