     | 6,133 views

    To show that GOD is not pleased or impressed with hypocrites and proud people but is detested and these people are abomination before GOD.

    The enemies tried to deceive and distract Nehemiah, to defame and slander him, to discredit and dishonour him, but Nehemiah stood strong through his prayer and trust in God.

He faced constant challenges in doing the work of God. • It started with discouraging words of ridicule and intimidation, and then grew into more intense, life-threatening situation that requires them to carry arms. • The problems came from without, and then ...read more

    There can be no doubt that Paul endured much for the sake of the gospel. From a worldly perspective, one might have thought his efforts had largely failed. However, Paul kept the faith and continued serving the Lord. We should be thankful for his perseverance.

    Hindered but not Hopeless 1 Thessalonians 2: 17-20 What precious and powerful words are recorded for our exhortation in these few verses! These words reveal the very heart and soul of the apostle Paul. He, of all men, knew what it was to face adversity and extreme difficulty in ministry. ...read more

    The Theology Of The Cross

    God works under opposites in order to help mature us in our faith so that we might appreciate even more the miracle of His love. And that love is truly miraculous.

    The Theology of the Cross God sometimes does not work in the ways which we would expect our God to work. Sometimes, He does not always give us what we want. Sometimes, there are moments in our life where God seems so far away. We pray to Him and nothing happens. We look at God to intervene in our ...read more

    Never run from an opportunity to minister because there are adversaries. It goes with the turf.

    1Cor 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. When God opens a door for you, it will also lead to many adversaries. Many give up when there is resistance to their ministry. Why do we expect less? In a war for every attack there is a great chance for ...read more
