How beautiful and powerful it will be if we wear the armour of God. A soldier who is going to war will wear the armour of the army. Every army officer from a country carries a different set of equipment based on their training. I love it when the Bible calls us to wear the armour of God. It is not an Indian army dress, not an Israeli army armour, but that which is of God. Our God has a name which always gives me goosebumps when I say it. It is the Lord of Hosts, or "the Lord

What was life like for the disciples after the resurrection of Jesus Christ? It was an about 360-degree change for them. From listening, they started preaching with the power of the Holy Spirit. The receiving of the Holy Spirit gave them so much confidence to face whatever was ahead. And they knew that those who repent and put their faith in Christ can live like them. It is in Chapter 2, verse 38. Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the na

If there is one life lesson a Christian should learn and live, it is this. It is in Romans 12:2: "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." As Christians, do we find ourselves wrestling with our thoughts and succumbing to their power? Then we need the transformation of our mind. What is having this transformation? It is the act of putting on the new man. Who is this new man? This new man is the new self we receive when we put our flesh to death when we receive salvation.

Peter was an apostle who was greatly used by the Holy Spirit. The followers of Jesus Christ (disciples) became the leaders with the receiving of the Holy Spirit. There was an outpouring of signs and wonders. The new disciples and the new church then had a great beginning. Acts chapter 1, verse 14 says, “They all met together and were constantly united in prayer.” On the day of Pentecost, these simple people spoke in multiple languages, like the languages of Parthians, Medes,

Thorns and idols are the two things that separate us from God. Jeremiah 4:1 says, “If you wanted to return to me, you could. You could throw away your detestable idols and stray away no more.” And then verse 3 says, “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Don't waste your good seeds among thorns.” God always wants us to stay by His side. Why do we wander away from Him? What makes us do so? According to the above verses, it is the idols we have. What are our idols? Our posses

David was pursued by Saul for what may have been around ten years. Saul was after killing David. Saul was after cutting short the plan of God for David. There was no king before Saul in the land, and when so much power was bestowed on a person for the first time over people in Israel’s history, Saul became obsessed over it. He never understood that God can give and God can take away. And here, poor David was hunted by him for being anointed by Samuel in his place as the king

One of the most beautiful things I love about our God is His heart for the poor. It can be evidently seen in Isaiah 25, verses 4 and 5. The verses go like this: “But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O Lord, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat.” How true when the Bible says He is the helper of the helpless. When we look back, many good people were in our lives for a season and must have left. But the One

Two things can happen when the Lord lives among us. Judgement and restoration. Zephaniah 3:5 talks about the Lord staying in the midst of rebellious and polluted Jerusalem. What was the nature of the Jerusalem that God was talking about at the beginning of the chapter? It was rebellious and polluted. It was filled with violence and crime. It refused all correction, and it didn't trust the Lord. The leaders of the city, the judges of the city, the prophets, and the priests liv

God the One and Only "I'll wait as long as He says. Everything I need comes from Him. So why not?" says David in Psalm 62 (The Message Bible). This verse is again repeated to add emphasis to the never-changing nature of God, on whom we can rely, put our trust, and wait. Why should we trust God like that? David says He is his Rock. David was a man who had braved bears, lions, Saul, the Philistines, and Goliath with God's help. Where was he running when he was under search and
