Faith For Divine Performance
FAITH FOR DIVINE PERFORMANCE Luke 1:28-38,45 Faith (believing) precedes Divine Performance. “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord” (Luke 1:45). The fundamental demand of Christ from virtually all miracle-seekers who came to Him for Divine Performance, was faith ( e.g. Matthew 8:13; 9:28; Mark 9:23,24; John 11:39,40). There is more to faith than thinking positively, being optimistic and upbeat. Your faith must have bases otherwise…
Following Christ and Bearing the Cross
FOLLOWING CHRIST AND BEARING THE CROSS Matthew 11:28-30; 4:18-22 Many show interest in Christ and the Christian life but are not willing and ready to accept His invitation to “come unto me”. They just admire the beauty of the Christian life from afar. “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:40). A great many who also come to Christ are not ready to follow Him, let alone bear the cross. They love the crown…

Profiting by the Law of Sowing & Reaping
PROFITING BY THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING Psalm 126:5,6; Isaiah 48:17-19 God is not a hypocrite. As a faithful Father He leads by example and shows us how to profit from the law of sowing and reaping. Sowing time is always a difficult moment requiring patience, persistence and hard work. God gave (sowed) His only begotten Son to reap the millions of people who have been saved through the death and resurrection of Christ. The death of Christ was…
Saved For A Purpose
Saved for a Purpose Acts 26:12-19 We are saved for a purpose. The call to serve is for every believer: God’s expectation from all believers is to be obedient to this divine purpose; “the heavenly vision” P1.

The Narrow Way
THE NARROW WAY Proverbs 14:12; Matthew 7:13,14 The most precious and valuable things in life are not always the most popular and attractive. It takes the most diligent, patient and forward-looking seekers to find them. Life presents us with many choices and decisions on a daily basis. Whereas some choices and decisions have little or no consequences, others have, in fact, eternal consequences. Which gate have you entered, and on which road are you travelling – the broad and easy…
