Learn to Look at Things from God’s Point of View
A very interesting Bible study that you could do on your own would be to study through the prayers of the Apostle Paul. There are many prayers of Paul from Romans to 2 Timothy, and you find all his prayers were always for spiritual things. He never prayed that these people would become rich, that th... Read More

Leave The Past Behind And Trust God For A Good Future
As we come to the end of a year, perhaps there are some who feel that because they have sinned and failed God at some time in their past lives, therefore they cannot fulfil God's perfect plan for their lives now. Let us look at what the Scriptures have to say on this matter and not lean on our own u... Read More

Let Not Your Faith Fail
In Luke chapter 22 verse 31.we read of Jesus warning Peter of a danger that lay ahead of him. He told him "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your br...

Let the Peace of Christ Be Your Referee
It is written in Col 3:15 - "Let the peace of Christ be the referee in your heart." How do you know when you are going astray? How do you know when you have missed God's will? There is a referee inside your heart to clearly show you. Have you seen a football match? There is never a football match wi... Read More

Life And Fellowship
John begins his gospel and his first letter by mentioning the things that were in thebeginning. In the beginning when there were no doctrines, church patterns, baptism, etc.,over which Christians debate now, there was only God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and they had life and fellowship ...

Listening To God
A spiritual man will take time to listen to God, every day. A phrase that occurs frequently in the very first chapter of the Bible is this: "Then God said". God said something on every one of those first six days, when He remade the chaotic earth. And each time God spoke, the earth became a better p... Read More

Live and Serve in a Christ-like Way
When Paul called the elders of the church in Ephesus to bid farewell to them, notice what he told them in Acts 20:17-35. He reminded them that he had been with them for three years(verse 31) and that he had preached to them night and day. Three years is more than 1000 days. And so if Paul actually p... Read More

Living by Faith
Many Christians through the ages, have sincerely sought after holiness and victory over sin by taking up their cross and denying themselves. But they have often found the Christian life to be a "hard grind" instead of the glorious life that the Bible describes. Their failure has been this that they ... Read More

Living For The Glory Of God
"To Him are all things" (Rom. 11:36) God is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. And so, as all things of an eternal nature originate in Him, they find their consummation in Him too. All things were created by God to bring glory to Him. This is not because God ... Read More

Living In The Will Of God
"From Him are all things" (Rom. 11:36) Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven belonged to the poor in spirit (Mt. 5:3). He also said that only those who do the will of the Father would enter that kingdom (Mt. 7:21). The kingdom of heaven is eternal, and only that which has been done in the will of Go... Read More

Look Backward, Upward And Forward
Looking Backward: We need to look back. Many times in my life I have looked back over how the Lord has led me – and that has renewed my faith. When I face a difficult situation and it looks as if there is no way out, I remind myself of the promises in the Bible and listen to the encouragement that o... Read More

Look for the Anointing of God and the Grace of God upon a Man
In 1 Chronicles, Chapter 12, we read of those who stood by David when Saul was persecuting him. It was easy to join David after he had become king. But here we read of people who joined him at a time when he was rejected and being hunted for his life. It's easy to live totally for the Lord in heaven... Read More

Look Forward to a Wonderful Year in Christ
Look Forward to a Wonderful Year in Christ 1. Make a new beginning today: In the story of the prodigal son, we read that the father brought out the best robe for a son who had failed him so badly. This is the message of the gospel: God gives His very best even to those who have failed. They can have... Read More

Love - The Basis Of All God's Dealings With Man
We need a solid foundation for our love for the Lord. That foundation is His own unchanging love for us. "We love him, because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19). Many Christians experience difficulties later on in their lives, because they were never clear on this point initially. Right at the start ... Read More

Lovers of the Truth
"Hearing of how the New Covenant is superior to the Old in many ways; and one of the ways we read in Psalm 51, David said when he had sinned and was repenting of his sin, he says in verse six, "Behold, Oh God, Thou doest desire truth in the innermost being…." He didn’t have it. I don’t believe anybo... Read More

Lukewarmness
"And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write : The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this : "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit ... Read More

Make A New Beginning Today
Nothing is impossible for God - not even to bring us into His perfect will, after we have failed miserably and repeatedly. Only our unbelief can hinder Him. If you say, "But I have messed up things so many times. It is impossible for God now to bring me into His perfect plan", then it will be imposs... Read More

Make It Your Ambition to Please the Lord
God's approval rested on Jesus when He was thirty years old, because of one reason: Jesus had faithfully overcome temptation during all those years. He had lived a life centered in His Father and not in Himself. He never did what pleased Himself ( Rom. 15:3). At His baptism, the Father testified, "T... Read More

Man's Extremity - God's Opportunity
Isaac, unlike Ishmael, was not the product of Abraham's strength, for Abraham had become sterile by then. Isaac was born through God strengthening impotent Abraham. This is the type of service that lasts for eternity. One " Isaac " is worth a thousand " Ishmaels." All " Ishmaels " will have to be ca... Read More

Men With A Burden And A Concern
The whole movement of Israel FROM BABYLON TO JERUSALEM was born and carried forward by men who were selflessly concerned for the furtherance of God's work. For this they fasted and prayed. This is how it is going to be in the church in our day too. Those who seek the honour of God's Name, the coming... Read More
