Hope in Crisis

The panacea for the ills of this world is Christ, the hope of glory. He still works miracles, is still faithful; He goes where the need of the physician is the greatest and is concerned about bringing wholeness to those who are broken, sick , confused or suffering through devastating circumstances. Those who are strong and well (healthy) have no need of a physician, but those who are weak and sick. (Matthew 9:12)

Transitional Time

It is a time of transition in which a paradoxical mixture of pleasant and unpleasant situations are occuring. Hectic and fast paced lifestyles are causing so many to become distracted, disconnected and adrift from their spiritual core. In times like these, things are rapidly changing and shifting many into new positions. It is the best of times, it is the worst of times; however by the grace of God you can choose to overcome any adversity and walk continually in victory. Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 2:14, 1Cor. 15:57

Divine Embrace

The love of God is so amazing; He consistently goes to great lengths to demonstrate His concern for His people throughout all ages. In Him we live, move and have our being; we are partakers of His divine nature and were created for His glory. Today, more than ever it is critical to make Him known and live as examples of His love and grace.
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will. (Eph. 1:11)

For Such a Time As This

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times; we have come into the kingdom for such a time as this. Change is inevitable, however choosing to grow and develop is an individual choice. So many world events are rapidly occuring to the extent, lives are being significantly changed amid harsh realities of some adverse situations. Although many changes that are occuring are beyond one's control, we can choose to respond positively and make the best out of negative situations. This important choice calls for having courage enough to confront uncomfortable and unpleasant realities, which often will cause a paradigm shift. As a result, old perspectives can be changed in order to adjust to new realities and move forward with renewed perspectives. As we embrace and adjust to change it could very well serve as a catalyst to positively influence change in the lives of others.

Life's Journey;

Life is a journey, not a destination; therefore one must learn to grapple with the many twists and turns along the way. On this journey, it is very important to have great expectations for finding fulfillment of life's purpose. In light of so many uncertainites and challenging situations, it is critical to envision and know for what you are searching. If you believe the scriptures, then seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else will be added to you. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free; So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men] then you are really and unquestionably free. (Matt. 6:33; John 8: 32, 36)
The kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, who on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it. (Matt. 13: 45-46)

Living Epistles

Most people like to be highly recommended and applauded for significant achievements; however as people of faith, our applause and recommendations come from the Spirit of God. In these challenging and unstable times, the faithful are called to make a difference in the world by pressing to become living epistles of Christ that can be read by all people. Our Father is seeking for true worshippers who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. It is time to make Him known throughout the world, letting the light of love shine amid darkness and hate.
You show and make obvious that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the Living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
(2 Cor. 3:3)

Divine Presence

In these times of challenging situations, many people are filled with feelings of doubt, skepticism concerning the supernatural power and intervention of God in current affairs. Now is the time for faithful disciples of Christ and true worshippers to arise to declare the authentic gospel amid erroneous teachings and beliefs. God is still in the midst of us and is mighty to save, heal and deliver from the power of darkness. The unbelief of some does not void the reality of divine presence in the world. We serve an Awesome God who is incredible, magnificient, amazing and so much more than words can describe; He is worthy of all glory, honor and praise. We will bless Him at all times and His praises shall continually be in our mouths. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said: "Surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it... How awesome is this place, this is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of Heaven! (Genesis 28: 16-17)
