    The world is going through dark times, yet we see people standing together as bright torches shining through the blackest night. Others in great suffering cannot keep their faith and kneel to the ground in discouragement, let us renew our minds, take courage, share our faith and keep working.

    Hag 2:1 in the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, 2 "Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 ...read more

    Divine life only flows in those people who are in intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ. We must spend quality time at Jesus' feet hearing His word. Like the moon has no light of its own, nor do we, but we can shine bright with the light of the Sun of Righteousness!

     | 2,714 views

    We are saved by faith, believing God’s promises. Now let’s live by them. You need to recognize your future is as bright as the promises of God. You held on to the key of promise. Jesus said, I will never leave you or forsake you. God kept his promise concerning Israel possessing the land.

    An elderly believer was facing death. While he lay dying he told his pastor, “For years I have relied on the promises of God, but now in my hour of death I can’t remember a single one to comfort me.” His pastor replied, “Do you think God will forget?” He smiled, “No, no he won’t forget.

    The Bible doesn’t promise that life on earth would be pleasant for believers. Neither is it the will of God for us to just strive or survive; His plan is for us to thrive and be fruitful.

    THRIVING IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT "12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a ...read more

    Andrew was one of the disciples of Christ. Yet very little is writing about his evangelistic work. What can we learn from his life and ministry? Are you ready to enrol in the school of Andrew?
