Paying the Price for Revival
Psalms 85:6; Habbakuk 3:2; Ezekiel 37:1-3 “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” An important question from a concerned, desperate Israelite, who knows and has heard how the Lord did great and mighty works from the good old days. However, things are no more the same. Wilt thou not revive us again?Will thou not restore us again? Wilt thou not renew us again? We ask the same question today. 1.The Pressing Need for Revival…

DECENCY AND ORDERLINESS IN A BIBLE CHURCH
The distinction between the sacred and the secular, the pure and the profane, Christian fellowship and communal fraternity are increasingly getting blurred.
Surrendering the Past for a Glorious Future
Surrendering the Past for a Glorious Future Isaiah 43: 18-19; Philippians 3:12-14; John 11:14,17,20-21,32,38-44 The Lord is inviting us to surrender our past because: Those who dwell on revision instead of vision miss out on God’s promised future. Being bound by our past hinders us from moving forward with energy and determination. Fear of past failures paralyzes us, preventing us from pursuing great possibilities. Clinging to the past restricts us from fully embracing the potential of the future. Our negative…
The Power of a Heaven-Focused Life
THE POWER OF A HEAVEN-FOCUSED LIFE Colossians 3:1-4; Acts 26:13-25 Death and eternity, ultimately, determines how well or otherwise a particular life was spent. “The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth” (Ecclesiastes 7:4). At what direction, and to which destination, is this only one life of yours headed (2 Corinthians 5:15)? “How easy it is to live more or less in the enjoyment of God’s…

Quench Not the Spirit
Quench Not the Spirit 1 Thessalonians 5:14-22 The Lord gave us checklists in the Bible, and our focus today is on the checklist that only appeared once in the Bible and has to do with our relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Bible told us of the things that can be quenched, Numbers 11:2 (Fire); Hebrews 11:34 (Violence of fire); 2 Samuel 14:7 (Coal); 2 Samuel 21:17 (Light); Psalm 104:11 (Thirst); Ephesians 6:16 (fiery darts of the wicked) and the…
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…
