    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 297 views

    Many believers have heard the call of God, have sensed His grace on the unique giftings and talents in their lives.

    INTRODUCTION: The church's potency and influence is contingent on the saints of God operating in the full potential of the giftings and talents God has endowed them with. By the same token, the church will remain weak and ineffective if God's people are discouraged, unintentional and poor ...read more

     | 2,652 views

    Abraham’s faith produced obedience to the God who gave him promises. He based his life upon the future fulfillment of divine promises. He exhibited his faith by living the present life in the hope of the future fulfillment of God’s promises.

    Do we know enough of our own history that we could, like Stephen, stand before a trial and explain why we believe in Jesus as our Saviour and how America is better because of the work of God?

Inheritance; an estate that passes from an ancestor to an heir by descent or course of law; that which is inherited. 2.

    Got Problems?

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Apr 20, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,070 views

    Promises cause problems, which God uses to give provision. God gave Israel and you three options: surrender to the crisis, fight the undefeatable foe, or trust in God to deliver you from the enemies that present themselves, and to wipe them out.

    Promises cause problems, which God uses to give provision. Consider Moses and the children of Israel fleeing from Pharaoh and brutal slavery. They had been delivered from 400 years of slavery by ten plagues that crushed Egypt, the most powerful nation on the face of the earth at that time. They ...read more

    Are we waiting on God for His timing in every area of our lives? If we do not listen to God, wait on Him, and allow the Spirit of God to lead us every day we can make decisions that we will regret later.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him.

    Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh in the blazing heat fuming against God, but God graciously appointed a plant to grow and give shade to Jonah. No matter what our situation is, let’s remember that God is mindful of us and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

    For our meditation let us look at Jonah 4:6, “Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.” (ESV) God gave Jonah a task to go and preach against ...read more

    Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt.

    February 01, 2025 Last week we concluded Genesis with Joseph’s death at 110. By that time his family had been living in Egypt for 70 years.
