Steps To Protect Our Families

Contributed by S. R. Manohar on Jan 2, 2019

Through JESUS Christ every family is restored and protected. It is God's will that before the coming of Lord Jesus Christ all the families should be restored to their original form i.e., how Adam and Eve were in their love, understanding and walk with God.

The nearest thing to God's heart is a family; therefore, the first priority on the devil's list to destroy, is families. Exactly as he destroyed the first family of Adam and Eve. But the Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him ...read more

Stay Alert And Pray SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023

Stay alert and pray, so that you won't fall into temptation. Being alert enhances our prayers, as every enemy we identify pushes us to pray more fervently. Furthermore, being alert is a form of prayer. If we are truly alert, the act of watching itself becomes a prayer.

In the Bible, Jesus instructs his disciples to "Watch and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation" (Matthew 26:41, NIV). This command holds great significance for believers today. By understanding the importance of watching and praying, we can overcome temptation and live a victorious ...read more
