    Poor brother Eutychus! He slept himself out of the church. Why did he fall asleep? What’s causing most Christians to become drowsy today?

    Eutychus There is no doubt in my mind that something catastrophic is about to happen. If you have been watching the news or listening to it then you ought to know and feel the same thing.

    When you trust God with your talents and abilities, and give it to Him, He will take your offering and multiply it. He will use what you give Him and it will be used to bless others.

    GOD WILL OFTEN GIVE US OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR FAITH TO GROW. Sometimes the growth of faith occurs during sicknesses such as when Jairus’s daughter became sick and passed away and The Lord raised her from the dead. I couldn’t imagine the pain that he felt as his daughter became sick and died. ...read more

    The Secret Of Spiritual Power

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Apr 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 329 views

    Christians today are encouraged to seek more power, more anointing, and more gifts. Indeed, as the Lord calls us back to the Cross to become disciples of Jesus, He intends to first humble us before empowering us.

    The basic need of a disciple of Jesus Christ is not seeking for more power from God, but more brokenness. Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in ...read more

    Most people believe they will go to Heaven when they die. It is the great future promise of God to every human being. However, Jesus said He was the only way to get there.

    Some believe that the Earth may be the future location of Heaven (Romans 8:19-22, Matthew 5:5, Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:10,13). Others believe Heaven is a planet located somewhere in the Universe or even in the Sun! In actuality, Heaven exists outside the dimensions of both space and time. What ...read more
