    A closer look at the relationship between Paul and the Corinthian church is revealing. Motives of ministry that come from God are powerful and effective for the cause of Christ.

    True Christian Ministry on the Inside Verses one and two of chapter 6 are a continuation of verses 20-21 of chapter 5. Also at the end of this chapter, verse one of chapter 7 is part of what’s being said at the end of chapter 6. The truth is, the chapters and verses have butchered this letter! ...read more

    Nehemiah has to face the challenges of doing something he was not familiar with but it is the will of God. He has to inspect the wall, motivate the people and contend with the oppositions.

    We had a remarkable breakthrough in chapter 2 when Nehemiah was granted the opportunity to see the King, after 4 months of praying and waiting. • Even with all that praying, it wasn’t a simple thing for Nehemiah to seek the King’s favour. He was very much afraid (2:2). • Imagine asking for leave ...read more

The answer is given through the very basic message of Jesus and Christianity: It is not by devoting yourself to religious activities, morality, virtue, philosophy or philanthropy but by faith in the works of Christ. ...read more

     | 9,063 views

    Jonah's experience in the fish's belly motivates him to acknowledge and plead for God's mercy which Jonah was willing to deny Nineveh from experiencing.
