"Father God, please guide me as I write this article based on Your Word. Help me to write this to glorify You, and let Your words bring clarity to those who seek You. May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! In the life of a Christian, few practices are as profound and sacred as the breaking of bread. This simple act, rooted in deep tradition and commanded by Christ Himself, carries immense spiritual significance.  BUT DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF WHAT WE ARE DOING? The Institution of the Lord’s Supper The breaking of bread, or the Lord’s Supper, was instituted by Jesus on the night He was betrayed. In Matthew 26:26-28, we read, “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he

Short Audio Format Hi there my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! There are moments in life when the weight of our burdens becomes overwhelming, and we find ourselves crying without any clear reason. Every little thing seems to trigger the tears, and even those tears feel minuscule compared to the unrecognizable pain residing deep within us. It's in these moments of intense emotional turmoil that we may feel utterly alone, as if no one truly understands the depth of our suffering. However, there's a profound comfort in knowing that Jesus, our Savior, understands our pain and sorrow intimately. The shortest verse in the Bible, John 11:35, encapsulates this power

May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen." Hi there my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! The question of whether a Christian can lose their salvation is one that has stirred hearts and minds for centuries. It’s a deeply emotional and personal question, rooted in our desire for assurance and the fear of falling away from the grace we’ve come to cherish. To navigate this complex issue, we turn to the Scriptures, the ultimate source of truth and guidance. Understanding Salvation Salvation is a gift from God, freely given through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so th

My heart is heavy as I sit down to write this article. It's been a while since God has seen fit to bless me in the way that He used to, and it's left me feeling lost and uncertain about His presence in my life. I know that many of you reading this may be going through something similar - a period where it feels like God's blessings have ceased. Maybe you've been praying for healing or provision, but it seems like nothing is happening. Or perhaps you've seen your ministry or business thrive, only to experience a sudden and inexplicable downturn. As I navigate these uncharted waters, I'm reminde

Feeling isolated can be one of the most challenging and painful experiences we endure. Whether it's physical separation, emotional withdrawal, or a spiritual sense of loneliness, isolation can leave us feeling vulnerable, disconnected, and weary. As Christians, we understand that this state of isolation is not only undesirable but also dangerous to our spiritual well-being. The Bible speaks profoundly about the importance of community, and there's a reason for this. Satan, our adversary, seeks to isolate us because isolation makes us easier targets for his attacks. In contrast, God desires for us to live in com

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! As Christians, we often find ourselves struggling with various forms of fear. Some may be paralysed by anxiety about the future, while others may wrestle with phobias or deep-seated fears rooted in past traumas. But amidst these many legitimate concerns, it's essential to recognize that there is one fear that stands supreme: the fear of God. In Psalm 111:10, we read, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." This verse highlights the vital role that reverence plays in our spiritual lives. When we approach God with a sense of awe and trepidation, we are acknowledging His majesty, power, and sovere

Hope and Faith in Wilderness

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! As I sit down to write this article, I am reminded of a place that is both familiar and foreign - the wilderness. It's a place where many of us have found ourselves, whether it was during a season of spiritual growth, physical challenge, or emotional turmoil. For me, the wilderness has been a place of darkness, where the light of God seemed distant and my own faith faltered. But in that same wilderness, I also experienced the tender care of my Heavenly Father, who guided me through the shadows and into His radiant light. The Valley of Darkness As we journey through life, we all face seasons of darkness - times when

The Revival

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! As I sit down to write this article, I am overwhelmed with emotion and conviction. I am reminded of the power of God's revival in our lives, churches, and communities. Revival is not just a theological concept; it is a tangible experience that can bring people together and transform lives. In these uncertain times, we need revivals more than ever. The world around us may be falling apart, but with God's intervention, we can be the ones who hold it together. As the apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:29-30, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the oc

The Conceited Me

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! As I sit down to reflect on my own journey with Christ, one thing stands out as a glaring reminder of the dangers of conceit in our Christian lives. I'm not ashamed to admit that for a long time, pride and self-righteousness masked themselves under the guise of "spiritual maturity" and "faithfulness." In reality, they were choking the very life out of my relationship with God. Looking back, it's as if I was blinded by the fog of conceit. My self-perceived "success" in various areas of Christian service and ministry created a false sense of security, making me believe that I was abov

Church Face vs Secular Face

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! As Christians, we often find ourselves living two different lives: one that we display at church and another that manifests in our secular environments. On Sundays, surrounded by fellow believers, we are polite, calm, patient, friendly, and loving. We embody the fruits of the Spirit effortlessly. However, during the weekdays, amidst the pressures of work, family, and societal expectations, maintaining this same demeanor can be incredibly challenging. This dichotomy—our “church face” versus our “secular face”—is a common struggle. Yet, there is hope for consistency, and it lies not in our efforts but in a deeper, more per
