  • A NEW LIFE, A NEW HEART
    2025/04/04
    A NEW LIFE, A NEW HEART
    One of the most effulgent Bible characters in the New Testament is the apostle Paul. After experiencing the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, he became zealous for the Master's work. His only passion and joy in life was to bring others also to the Saviour he has found. The actuating principle of His life was to declare the goodness of God and the transforming grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. His ardor in the kingdom business was always inflamed with the memory of what Christ has done for him.

    Yes indeed, Paul had a very bad record. His past was stained with cruelty and murder and his life was blemished with a lot of moral defects. The taste of the sins, the worldly honour and the fame he was enjoying could have led him to be comfortable in his abode. But his encounter with Christ transformed Him. He knew well of the past shortcomings which could have silenced his voice in the holy records and impede his spiritual growth. There were many things in Paul’s life that could have triggered mockery and contempt from his contemporaries in line of his new faith.

    But glory be to the transformative grace of God, grace that pardons all our sins and takes care of all our guilt. Grace that is able to give us a new life after Christ has made us whole. This grace always searches for us; and while we were yet sinners the love of God (Christ) was given for us. Like Paul, we did not seek for it but it was sent in search for us. On that Damascus road, the Light of the world illuminated the mind and heart of Paul and transformed him. In his transformation, Paul understood how to respond to God’s grace. This is done by forsaking the former things, counting them as garbage and loss and embracing the new heart that is profitable in the new life.

    The experience of Paul should be an epitome for all Christians. The grace of God has found us in the streets, the bars, the shrines, the cultic and psychic centers. As we were engaging in the adultery, fornication, uncleanliness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, envy, murder, drunkenness, revelries and the likes, the still small voice called us into a new life. "Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" was the offer from Christ. As we have accepted to live this new life, the things of the past that are not in conformity with the faith of Christ should be shunned.

    Unfortunately, there are many who call themselves Christians (accepting the new life) but still possesses the old heart. They are not privy to the Master’s command; "go and sin no more". Though they have accepted Christ, they have not fully surrendered to Him. They profess to be in Christ but still cling to their old life, the former things have not become former. Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spot? OH YES!, if so, then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. You have accepted Christ; you have become a new creature; you need to have a change of heart; Yes, the old heart (lifestyle) should give room for the new. You need to do so, but not in your own might. Give your will to Christ for His assurance to you is that "a new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."

    (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:17; Galatians 5:19-21; Philippians 3:13-16; Matthew 11:28; John 8:11; Jeremiah 13:23; Ezekiel 36:26; Ezekiel 18:31)

  • NEVER GIVE UP ON THE RACE.
    2025/02/18
    Never Give Up On the Race

    "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee" (John 17:1; KJV).Even at the point of His death, Jesus never gave up. When even the religious leaders asked Him to save Himself if He was the Christ, that did not prevent Him from going forward with His mission of dying for the race of Adam. Our Saviour never gave up despite all that He had to go through for you and I. Because of His death for us, we have assurance of eternal life in a world made new.

    Matthew 5:12), the Lord wants us to also press on in Him without giving up. Like Zaccheaus who left nothing undone to see the Saviour (Luke 19:1-10), the Lord wants to pursue Him with all our hearts.

    It doesn't matter your past life or current situation, the Lord wants you to approach Him. Even as Christ gave us an example in perseverance even up to the cross, He expects us not to lose hope, but continue to trust in Him. If we cling to Him with an open heart like the woman with the issue of blood or express a desire to see Him just as He is like Zaccheaus, He will abundantly receive us and bless us.

  • HAVING FAITH IN GOD.
    2025/02/18
    Having Faith in God.

    The first chapter of the book of Job tells us how Job was a faithful man of God. God blessed him with seven sons, servants and much wealth. Satan challenged God that the protection and riches He has given Job was the reason for his unswerving commitment to Him. And so God gave the devil the chance to test Job to the highest point. Despite all the negative things the devil brought in the life of Job, Job remained steadfast and victorious in the end (Job 1 -2)

    As followers of Christ, the devil will bring a lot of misfortune in our lives just to test our faith in God. And this is where we have to stand strong and prove to Satan and the entire world that we are true children of God. In times of our extreme troubles, people may suggest various solutions to our problems, even including possible solutions that contradict the clear words of Scripture.

    It is important for us to learn that as Christians, we need to be firm in our principles no matter our situation in life. The Lord has promised never to forsake or leave us (1 Samuel 12:22; Matthew 28:20). He has promised that He will hear us when we pray unto Him (John 14:13-14).

    Beloved, whatever the problem or difficulty we encounter, our God knows, He sees and has a better solution for us if only we can trust in Him and wait for His own timing. Even as God finally answered the prayers of Job, He continues to answer the prayers of His faithful children who trust in Him and wait for Him. It is in our waiting on Him through prayers and a reflection of the Scriptures that He perfects our characters.
