Depend more on God
‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV My Grace is sufficient -The secret of being able to do what you need to do is in realising that you cannot do it alone; you can only do it through God’s empowering grace. God said to […]
Through Christ, you can do it-Strength
‘I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me.’ Philippians 4:13 AMPC Paul writes: ‘I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]’ (v. 13 AMPC). Paul believed […]
You must forgive
‘The Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.’ Colossians 3:13 NLT By washing the dirt from His disciples’ feet, Jesus demonstrated His willingness to forgive their sin before they even committed it. This takes love to its highest level. You say, ‘I am not the guilty party here.’ Neither was Jesus. Of the men […]
Accepting others
Sometimes people don’t make it easy to accept them. They can be bad tempered, selfish, critical, irritating, dismissive, aggressive and pompous. Sometimes you want to give them a piece of your mind; give them what they deserve – anything but acceptance. The command, ‘accept one another’, is inconvenient. And if Paul had stopped there, we […]
Don’t ‘drift away’
‘We must give…earnest heed…lest we drift away.’ Hebrews 2:1 NKJV The Bible says, ‘We must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away…how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?’ (vv. 1, 3 NKJV). Note the words ‘drift’ and ‘neglect’. Those words should set off […]
How well do you know Jesus?
‘Don’t you know me?’ John 14:9 NIV A fascinating encounter took place between Jesus and Philip. When ‘Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father”…Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?”’ (vv. 8-9 NIV). There’s a lesson here for all of us. You can go […]
You need others
You need others-Ken Blanchard said, ‘None of us is as smart as all of us.’ As much as we would like to think that we know it all, if we’re honest, each of us is painfully aware that we have blind spots and areas of inexperience. You have had experiences others haven’t had; they have […]
What you must give up
‘One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek.’` Psalm 27:4 NKJV In order to succeed, there are certain things you must give up. 1) You can’t be friends with everybody. Jesus loved everybody but spent most of His time with twelve people mentoring them. And He spent extra time with Peter, James, and […]
Lessons from a broken heart
‘Restore to me the joy of Your salvation.’ Psalm 51:12 NKJV A broken heart can’t be healed by working sixteen hours a day, sweating it out in a gym, or using mood-altering substances like alcohol and drugs. Those things may bring a temporary fix but don’t bring a lasting cure. After falling into sin and […]
