The Holy Spirit is a profound and essential part of the Christian faith, yet He is often misunderstood or under-represented in teachings and sermons. While we often refer to Him as a Spirit, a force, or an influence, it is crucial to recognize and embrace the truth that the Holy Spirit is a Person. He is magnificent and above all, He is an intimate and personal presence in our lives. Understanding the Holy Spirit as a Person deepens our relationship with God and enriches our spiritual journey.

As Christians, we are called to live a holy life, but we often find ourselves struggling with sin. The Seven Deadly Sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust—are particularly challenging. However, we are not alone in this struggle. The Holy Spirit helps us overcome sin, picking us up from our fallen state and restoring us. Although we should strive to refrain from sin, it is not the end of the world if we falter. There is always hope in the redemptive work of the cross. Let's explore how we can overcome each of these sins with God's help. 1. Pride Pride is the excessive belief in one's abilit

I want to share with you a personal struggle that, although it may seem harmless in our current age, is still relevant and one of the deadliest sins—gluttony. Diving in For a long time, I considered myself a foodie. I loved trying new restaurants, indulging in buffet dinners, and savoring every bite of delicious food. It seemed innocent enough, just a way to enjoy life. But over time, I realized it had its own ill effects. I was living life the way I wanted, without considering the bigger picture. A Revelation from God I hadn’t really prayed about my eating habits, but God, out of His abundant mercy, revealed to me my

Today, I want to talk about a sin that often goes unnoticed but has a profound impact on our spiritual lives—pride. I have earlier written an article on this topic. Pride is a subtle yet destructive force that can lead us away from God and create barriers in our relationships. My journey through this struggle has been challenging, but through God's grace, I have found the path to humility and spiritual growth. Understanding the Gravity of Pride Pride isn’t just a feeling of self-importance; it’s a deep-rooted sin that separates us from God. The Bible clearly warns us about the dangers of pride. Proverbs 16:18 states

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Today, I want to share my journey with a sin that is often explosive and destructive—wrath. Wrath is an intense form of anger that can lead to harmful actions and words. It's a sin that can consume us and damage our relationships, but through God's grace, we can find peace and healing. Understanding the Gravity of Wrath Wrath is more than just anger; it’s an uncontrolled and vengeful emotion. The Bible warns us about the dangers of wrath. In James 1:19-20, we read, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does

Today, I want to open up about a struggle that many of us face but often feel ashamed to discuss—lust. Lust is a powerful and pervasive sin that can deeply affect our hearts, minds, and relationships. My journey through this struggle has been difficult, but through God's grace, I have found hope and healing. Understanding the Gravity of Lust Lust isn’t just about physical desire; it’s about a deep-seated issue of the heart. Jesus speaks about this in Matthew 5:28, saying, “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” This scripture highlights that lu

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Today, I want to talk about a sin that is often overlooked and considered “soft” compared to others—sloth. Sloth, or spiritual laziness, might seem like it only affects oneself, but its gravity and the struggle to overcome it are just as challenging as any other sin. Despite its quiet nature, sloth can hinder our spiritual growth and separate us from God. My journey through this struggle has taught me valuable lessons, and I hope to share them with you. Understanding the Gravity of Sloth Sloth isn’t just about physical laziness. It’s about a lack of spiritual fervour, an indifference to our spiritual duties, and a neglec
