The story of Moses is interesting. He was born during a time where an order was given for every male child to be killed. This was all part of Pharaoh’s plan to control the Israelites due to fear that they may betray Egypt by joining forces with their enemies and wage war on the land [...]
I wanted to share some thoughts about being a witness for Jesus. I hope this blesses you. John chapter 1 introduces Jesus as the Word that became flesh and He is the true light while also mentioning John the Baptist. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came [...]
In light of the recent uproar with an Australian rugby player who has been vilified all over social media, newspaper, slandered by non-believers and even shunned by some Christians – a question that must be asked, was he telling the truth or not? A Christian poet once shared, “People don’t want to hear the truth [...]
I am currently reading the book of Ezekiel and in chapter 2, Ezekiel is called by God to become a prophet. God explains to Ezekiel that He is sending him to the children of Israel who are rebellious and mentions how their ancestors were also stubborn and hardened their hearts towards God (Eze 2:3). But [...]
If you ever read 1 Samuel 15, then you might be familiar with the story of King Saul being rejected as king over Israel because of his disobedience to God. The first thing that King Saul was instructed to do, was to seize the city of the Amalek and not to spare the men, women, [...]
I want to share something that happened today: I went shopping for groceries and also clothes. I was looking for Coles and I misread the arrow. I didn't realize this until I started walking further down the shopping mall. It dawned on me that I was heading in the wrong direction. Instead of turning around, [...]
Since August, God has been teaching me on the importance of faithfulness and this is what I have learnt. Faithfulness & Obedience Faithfulness is encompassed in so many things. Faithfulness to God in your walking with Him. Faithfulness to what He has asked you to do, the assignments He has given you to complete, the [...]
I received a ‘verse for the day’ notification on Tuesday and the verse was Proverbs 27:5-6 which says, 5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love. 6 Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts, but profuse are the kisses of an enemy. I began to meditate on those verses and the scripture 2 Timothy 3:16 comes [...]
This morning, a guest speaker came to my church and preached on responding to the enemy with the Word of God. The only way to resist the enemy and not give into the devil's lies is to know what the scriptures say. After the sermon, there was an altar call for strongholds and he gave [...]
Last Thursday I attended my last young adult lifegroup for the year at Church. My young adult pastor asked the question “What are the ways to stay positioned in God during the Christmas season and month of December” I mentioned being grateful because sometimes, we can get caught up in what we’re asking from God, [...]
I was reading Acts 9:1-22 about Saul who is now Paul in the bible. This passage of scripture was preached about in last Sunday’s evening service. I decided to read about this myself early this week and God spoke to me through this story. It’s about the encounter of Christ and how he was blinded and [...]
Continuing on from the last post about the grace of God. Romans 6:1-2 says “What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?”. Imagine being imprisoned by sin, being held in captivity [...]
I want to share what I learnt from studying Luke 4:1-13 in my quiet time. “Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the spirit in the wilderness” (Luke 4:1) This is significant because the Holy Spirit was the one that led Jesus into the wilderness, away from people [...]
Tonight I had Creative at church, where all volunteers that are part of the vocal/choir, band, photography, multimedia, light and sound desk, meet up to hear the vision of the team. This happens fortnightly. On the way to Church, I was thinking about how other people wanted to learn the keyboard. I was happy to [...]
Yesterday afternoon, my mum, siblings and I were reading Ezekiel chapter 37. Some might be familiar with this scripture but it's the story of Ezekiel prophesying over these dry bones. Ezekiel is a prophet and in a vision, he sees the hand of God and God leads him to a valley. In the valley laid dry [...]
I have heard people say that the cross of Jesus Christ is the greatest love story ever told. I finally understand why. It’s because of the ultimate sacrifice that God was willing to pay for us. It’s so easy to sacrifice something if the person is going to appreciate it. But it’s a lot harder [...]
When you hear the word forgiven? What does that mean to you? The word forgiveness is denotative, it literally means what it means. To forgive means according to the dictionary - to grant pardon for your actions, to no longer hold resentment towards that person. But most of all, to no longer have an account [...]
It's interesting how throughout Jesus' crucifixion when he was mocked, spat on, beaten, bruised, hurt, bleeding, in pain, wrongly accused, degraded and treated unjustly — he never spoke a word. I know without a doubt, I would have said something. But he didn't! And it was not because he was the Son Of God. I [...]
