God Has Remembered His People

Ruth 1 Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there. 3 Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. 5 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband. 6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited His people by giving them bread. 7 Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two...

There is a Shift in the Lives of Believers

Understand the times and the seasons for God has opened another chapter in our lives where believers are rising from one level to another. John 9 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.  2  And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”  3  Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.  4  must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.   5   As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6  When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.   7   And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.  8   Therefore the neighbors and those who pr...

Patience

"Patience" means to wait for, to look for, to hope, to expect. In Greek, 'patience' means 'hypomeno'. It also means to remain, to abide, to persevere, to endure, to bear bravely and calmly . As a virtue, patience is waiting in the midst of discomfort, without complaining. The world today, and particularly in the era of technology, we're operating in a supersonic speed. Everything has changed, and everything has become instantaneous, from our money transfer, heating food and so on. We are in the world, but not of the world. As children of God, we should be patient. Patience is a virtue we should keep reminding ourselves of. The stressful situations we're in were predicted by Peter, in 2 Peter 3, so they shouldn't be rattled or shaken. The Holy Spirit wants us to be patient, as it is also a fruit (Gal. 5:22). Don't try to race with time, chasing after things that the world are chasing after, the way they're chasing after them. Just as in l...

Where Are You, in Eden?

Revelation 2:6-7 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.  7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’ People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe that God showed Moses a picture of what happened in the Garden of Eden, all the way to when he was born, when he was on Mt. Sinai. I believe God showed him the picture in full, so that he could be able to write the book of Genesis, as well as the rest of the Torah books. As we delve into this teaching, I want you to see the whole story as a picture, using your imagination. Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon...

Spread the Love

Take a moment and ask yourself these questions: what would you do with: 1. Gift of teaching? 2. Gift of intercessory? 3. Gift of healing? 4. 1 million dollars? I know many would say give back to the society for options 1, 2 and 3 with a little bit of more ease compared to option 4. Not to condemn you, but let me ask you, would you give more than just a tithe for the case of the million dollars? Do you not know that finances are also a spiritual blessing in which also the concept of "to whom much is given much is expected" applies?  Luke 12:48b For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more. Picture this:  What if in this world each and every person who is able to eat, cloth and live stable would just reach out to one brother or sister (emphasis on one)?  What would this world be like? On to another aspect of spreading the love based on this day and age....

Intimacy with God

God doesn't want to be your morning/evening/Sunday companion. He didn't send Jesus for that. He sent His son to bring us closer to Him, that He can be a part of every detail of our lives. This is what is called intimacy. Intimacy means “close familiarity or friendship; closeness. A private cosy atmosphere. Something of personal or private nature.” There is a huge difference between intimacy and 'respect'. Have you ever tried to have a “casual friend” who would never allow you to be intimate with them? Or even a relative who you’ve been trying to close the boundaries with, and be closer to but they just keep pushing you away? You respect them and value their friendship, but you would never allow it to go beyond casual friendship? This is how many Christians are, with God. They respect Him and even fear Him, but have no intimacy with Him. They go to church on Sunday, give tithes and offerings, pray to Him, study His Word etc. but have no intimacy with Him. They jus...
