Even the weak can be giants

These achievements were not done overnight, it was a journey filled with pain, struggle and perseverance. Apostle Paul was […]
Slimy Pit to Rock
Jonah disobeyed God and did not go to Nineveh, rather he was running away to Tarshish. God did not want to take away his life but wanted to discipline him, because God disciplines the child whom he loves (Hebrews 12:6). We also are being disciplined like Jonah once in a while when we need it. […]
Good after Bad – Ruth Chapter 1
The name Moab brings to mind a couple of not-so-pleasant incidents from Israel’s past; the trouble his descendants caused Israel during their wilderness journey to the Promised Land.

Hope- A Blessed Assurance
Hope is the blessed assurance of our future glory. Sin separated us from the glory of God (Romans 3:23), and we were no more what He created us to be like (Hebrews 2:6-9). We became powerless and lost the glory. But while we were still powerless, Jesus Christ became man and died on the cross […]
I am weak. No, you are strong.
If you are facing or had faced a certain situation, but liked it to be otherwise then God’s telling you “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” 2 Corinth 12:9. You might have prayed and pleaded like Paul did and wondered why God did not grant your request. […]

God choose King Saul as the 1st king of Israel. After he was anointed as the king by prophet Samuel, the Spirit of God came upon Saul in power (1st Samuel 10:10). Saul changed into a different person. God choose Saul and also gave him The Spirit of God, but that did not mean God […]
On The Cross
On The Cross; Jesus promised Heaven to the criminal who believed in Him, that we may know its not our works but by His grace we are saved through faith. On The Cross; Jesus defeated the devil to whom we were slaves because of our sins, that we may live freely and not in fear. On The […]
