2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
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.

Saved For A Purpose
Saved for a Purpose Acts 26:12-19 We are saved for a purpose.

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…
All Things Are Possible
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Mathew 19:16-26; Mark 9:17-29; Mark14:35-37 Our study today shows the limitation of men and the possibilities of God. His possibilities are broad in scope. It has no boundary, and it is for all things. Possibilities of God bring correction, salvation, healing and assurance. For the young man, it was correction and guidance to inherit eternal life. For the son mentioned in Mark, it was total freedom from the dumb and deaf spirits, and for his father,…
Maintaining Daily Spiritual Freshness
Hosea 6:1, Leviticus 6:8,9,12,13, Isaiah 1:18 The Lord has since the beginning sought to have a constant, fresh, intimate fellowship with us. Even when men fell, He still came looking for us to be restored unto Him. He wants this to be continual, daily without any disconnection. Unfortunately this has always not been the case for His children. We want to learn how to keep this spiritual freshness daily without a break. 1. Causes of Spiritual Dryness Sin – Rom…
Hold Fast TIll I Come
HOLD FAST TILL I COME Revelation 2:25,26; 3:7-13 Beginning the Christian faith is one thing, and firmly holding on in the face of opposition, persecution, affliction and suffering to the end is another. As the life of Christ, the early disciples, and other believers in contemporary times demonstrate; there is a price to pay for standing up to your faith and convictions. It is only those who are willing to pay the price who will win the precious prize. “Blessed…
Winning the Imperishable Crown
WINNING THE IMPERISHABLE CROWN 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Hebrews 12:1-3 The Christian life is a race which demands diligence, determination and discipline. God has rewards for those who run, but they are for those who complete the race, and who do so lawfully. Like athletes, runners and boxers, we must not just aim at competing, but target the prize (the incorruptible crown). We can only attain the crown through constant training, discipline and avoiding distractions. “I press toward the mark for…
