    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 576 views

    Our Lord chose as disciples’ men who were radically different in temperament, personality and political philosophy. It was because of their glaring differences that their unity was so evident.

Why, then, do I love this verse? Simply because in ...read more

    Do we want the favor of God on our lives? As we study the life of Gideon, and others from the bible we will understand what those pre-requisites are for God’s favor to rest on us, and all we do.

    We read in Judges 6:17-19, So Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here, until I come back to you, and bring out my offering and lay it before you.” And He said, “I will remain until you ...read more

    One of the greatest enemies to the progress, and success of every believer is this insidious and destructive spirit called fear. Evil spirits are recognized by what they do, and this demon is no different. To walk in the victory purchased by our Lord Jesus Christ, we must slam the door on fear.
