    Walk By Faith By Pastor John Mateos Ong

    Contributed by John Ong on Dec 5, 2017
     | 4,728 views

    As the Bible said in Deuteronomy 7:9, He keeps His covenant of love to thousands of generation for those who love and keep his commandments. So if we strive to keep our faith to Him, if we walk by faith with Him, we will be more like Him each day.

Can we just imagine if God was like Hitler who killed almost all of the Jews, or like Mao Tse Tung who does not only manipulated and tricked his people just ...read more

    Understanding The Mind Of God By Pastor Joseph Ondu

    When you think you’re alone, God thinks He’s carrying you. When you think you’re losing, God thinks He’s preparing you. When you think you’ve failed, God thinks He’s setting you up for a comeback.
