It is important to have the right posture of the heart - the condition and position of the heart.
-
The posture of your heart is your personal choice!
Many of us would probably think that purpose and calling is always within ministry.
-
Purpose and calling are not the same. Calling can change just like seasons but purpose doesn’t.
-
Our calling in different season of our lives is to serve purpose that God has given to us.
Part 7: The letter to the church of Laodicea
-
The church of Laodicea was in a lukewarm state. Though they were rich physically and yet they were poor spiritually.
-
Don’t let Jesus be on the other side of the door. Let Him be with you on the inside!
Part 4: The letter to the church of Thyatira
-
Majority does not make truth. Just because society and community around you are doing it doesn’t make it right
-
Always remember that Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life!
For a lot of people, Christmas is about the tree, decorations and gifts.
-
Jesus was born to die and His legacy was a sum of what His death is worth. It was the saddest gift, but it’s the most precious gift!
-
Christmas is about God's gift to us
Why is Christmas important?
-
Jesus wants to be personal, be present, position us for eternity, and give us a greater purpose in life.
-
HE is the reason for the season.
It is not about not loving Jesus, it is not loving Him first. God cannot be second.
-
There will always be something that will challenge His place in our lives. The answer is to set our priorities right.
We constantly have conversations within ourselves. If these conversations within are unhealthy, it affects our lives.
-
We know that words have the ability to destroy and save. We can make a choice of our words!
The work of God in the believer to make us like Christ and our character is formed under pressure.
-
Our prayer and cry is to become like Christ and to operate in the right nature at the right time, which will bring glory, honour, and reverence to God.
A tree is known by its fruit and how do we know if it is a good fruit? By the nature of the fruit and its ability to reproduce.
-
Investing in others is intentional. Let's be intentional in investing into the future generations!
All the troubles and trials can blind us from seeing what God is doing.
-
In order to deal with those spiritual short-sightedness, there are 3 things we need: Faith, Future, Fuel
-
Look forward to the great things ahead, be faithful to what God has revealed to us!
The devil wants to mess up your priorities and authority. The devil cannot force us to sin but he can mess with our thought pattern.
-
But we have to understand that satan has no hold on us because the work on the Cross has seen to that.
-
Fix our eyes on Jesus!
Spiritual battle is not an option and the devil is ever ready and always seeking an opportunity in your life.
-
The shield is the strongest defence equipment because it actually protects the rest of the armour and the shield of faith is to protect us from the fiery darts of the devil.
-
The weapon of protection and attack is the word of God. The good news is God is also our shield!
We are living in the last of the last days and the redemption plan of God for mankind is coming to a closure.
-
It is vital even in our day to day living to align our lives back to God.
-
Is He the Lord of your life?
"I rather be LOVED than be RIGHT."
-
Letting go of the past, moving forward to where God has called us to be!
We want a lot of things in life. There are wants, needs and then there are desires.
-
A lot of people have a lot of desires, but if that desire is misplaced, it will cause our lives to be messed up.
-
What is our desire? Is our desire for God?
All of us know that prayer is important but how many of us really spend time praying.
-
Prayer is one of the most effective and intimate ways we can draw close to God. It is not getting what we so desperately want or need.
-
Pray yourself, pray with people, pray with your leaders
The truth is that the world often looks at one MVP but in God's house, everyone can be an MVP.
-
The best teams do not have people with similar skills. It is a combination of diverse talents and backgrounds from a pool of diverse individuals who appreciates each other and the gifts that each one brings to contribute.
-
We can be a great team!
A great vision or a grand plan do not replace the fundamental spiritual principles.
-
God's plan for His church is always unity through diversity and if we want to win this race, we must run together!
If you are used to someone's presence, you do not question his character. You know the person's heart and that he really loves you.
-
The real question is not "Why?", but "God what next?"
-
What next is not a formula but a relationship!
Faith is only faith when we step out and trust God.
-
Let's continue to trust God is all circumstances, knowing that this joy goes beyond our circumstances and to have a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving in the midst of everything we go through!
Coming to Jesus is easy but following Christ is not and being saved in Christ is not just about a ticket to escape hell.
-
Our salvation is God's gift to us and God wants us to be more Christlike. We were all dead to sin but now made alive in Christ!
God's promises shine as a 'light' in the midst of darkness and we must learn to hold on to God's promises for our lives.
-
When we hold on to God's promises, it becomes a place of covenant between us and God!
A miracle is when someone is in dire need of an impossible situation in the natural world to be fixed. However, our miracle is not dependent on the shift in our ability but on a shift in our dependability.
-
Positioning ourselves for a miracle or breakthrough is important. Let's learn to be in the right position!
You don't have to love your job, you got to focus your love on the One whom you're doing your job for, who is God. But if you do love your job, be careful to not love it more than you love God.
-
Don't run away from challenges. Walk through them with the Lord because progress and promotions are in the challenges.
-
Pursue God in all you do. He is your focus of why you do what you.
Dryness happen when we don't see hope. How we respond and what we do are important to change the outcome of our current dryness.
-
Let's abide in the presence of God, declare God's word and partner with the Holy Spirit!
Everything that we do in this live will be judged and the Great White Throne Judgement is not so much of a trial, but more of a sentencing because we are all guilty and a sinner.
-
Hell is real and if we choose not to follow Jesus, our destination will be hell.
-
But Heaven is also real. The decisive question is whether we will obey God the Father in heaven? How we live our lives will determine our destination!
We know David as the man after God's heart but he was nowhere near ready to become king yet at the time that he was anointed.
-
The crown is not the life you have now, not the ministry you have not, not the place your family is in now. Your crown is when you come before God, when the race ends.
-
Don't give up, stay the course. Let's have a heart that is after God's own heart!
Knowing the right directions are important because it helps us to navigate through.
-
The Bible encourages us to have direction in life. Being purposeful is directly linked to having the right directions in life.
-
Having direction from God may not be as straightforward but it is not complicated. Let's partner with God!
It is easy to praise God when we are at the best moments of our lives, but in contrary it is difficult to praise God at midnight hour which can be deemed the darkest moment.
-
Our attitude and response will either lead us to our breakthroughs or cause us to be bound.
-
Praise is the declaration that God is bigger than our problems. Let's praise Him in every moment of our lives!
Every miracle or move of God in our lives have oppositions but the greater the opposition, the greater the miracle or move of God.
-
Do not be afraid to believe God even though it may be delayed on your schedule. Have the right attitude while waiting and just believe!
We all know that God is with us and His promise to us is that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
-
Following God is not contingent on what’s happening to us, it's based on who He is.
-
Are we willing to trust God regardless of the outcome?
We, as creation, is oriented by hope and the hope we have in Christ can never be robbed!
Misalignment can happen to the best of us, but the good news is misalignment can be corrected!
-
God is into the business of aligning us inwardly more than the outward appearance.
-
Let's align ourselves with God's rule, God's will, God's leading and God's time!
Love must encompass all these - either love are all of it or none at all, it is a good reflection for all of us and we can’t take love lightly and loftily. And the greatest example of love is found in Christ!
-
We love by giving which leads us to having the grace of giving. Love and giving are always connected.
-
Remember this - we give out of generosity, not out of charity!
God is taking us through a season where we need to be awake and we need to rise up in maturity.
-
Grow in maturity in the Word of God and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
-
Let's arise and seek God!
Knowledge is the fact of knowing something and this knowledge is not academics alone but the knowledge of God and truth about God.
-
Godliness comes through knowing God and He wants us to know Him first-hand.
-
Excelling in knowledge is both acquiring and applying. Let our knowledge be girded with wisdom and understanding!
Excellence is not about just meeting the minimum requirements/bare minimum but an attitude in all that we do and a continual process.
-
We must constantly grow in our faith and that must be accompanied by actions. Faith and speech are connected and we can never find a person full of faith who is negative in his words.
-
Let our words springing with life and use it to bring life, to build up and not tear down!
Laziness can be detrimental and spiritual laziness causes us to be indifferent.
-
Laziness can easily get us to the place where we don't want to try new ventures, are unable to finish what we start, find it difficult to respond to God's call.
-
Don't live our lives thinking that there can always be later or tomorrow! Work while there is opportunity!
All of us have an identity. You don't have to compare to someone else or be someone else.
-
Knowing our identity in Christ is vital to navigate through this life. The only way to knowing ourselves is to know Jesus Christ.
-
Don't let your identity be stolen. Find your identity is Christ!
We will come to a time where we need to wrestle with God and Jacob's wrestling matches show that even the promise of God is not without pain or problems.
-
Perseverance is navigating through those pains and those problems and eventually it will lead to our purpose.
-
Let's persevere and wrestle through in this life 💪
The trap of comparison has pushed people to find fulfilment in keeping others ‘below’ them. By comparing, people hope to feel better about themselves if they are ahead.
-
But the truth is God made you to be you! Don't bother running our measuring stick over others in front of us, or next to us or behind us.
-
You are fearfully and wonderfully made!
None of us are spared from mental health challenges. Having a healthy mind is crucial because in life, we will be faced with the ups and downs.
-
If we are struggling with our mental health, it doesn’t mean that our faith is broken and it is nothing to be ashamed of.
-
Having a healthy mind is as important as a healthy spirit. Let's take good care of our mental health!
Our hope in life beyond death is a hope made possible not by some general sentimental belief in life after death but by our participation in the life of Christ.
-
Waiting under God is not about what we can get at the end, but what we become as we we are waiting.
-
How are we living our lives? Let's live our lives declaring and saying Jesus over everything!
The mind is a powerful place. When we sow a thought, we reap an action; repeated actions form a habit and habits determine destinies.
-
A renewed mind is about change, not just knowing. Let's have a renewed mind for God to do something through you!
We have the blessing of Abraham upon our lives through Jesus Christ.
-
Blessing has a purpose in our lives and we must constantly look beyond ourselves.
-
Let’s be a greater blessing in our 16th year as a church!
Stress is a part of our lives. We certainly don't welcome it, but it always keeps knocking on the doors of our lives.
-
We may be stressed, but don’t get stressed out. Learn to unwind and destress every now and then.
All of us want God's blessings over our lives, our families, our relationships, our work, our studies but the fact is this: God is not obligated to bless us.
-
Blessings and curses are conditional. Obedience will lead to blessings.
Every encounter with God has a purpose and when we want to have encounters with God, we must be ready to respond to His will and purpose.
-
Mount Sinai was where the 10 Commandments were given and the 10 Commandments is a revelation about God and His character.
-
God had never wanted a compliant people; He wanted a covenant with His people!
A lot of us know and even profess that God’s will is important but how many of us actually fulfil it.
-
It is not difficult to know God's will, the willingness to submit is the one that hazes His will in our lives.
-
The little steps of daily obedience will ultimately lead to submission to His will!
The Mount Moriah test was not to produce faith but to reveal faith and Abraham knew very well what was required on that mountain.
-
There is always tension when obedience requires something from us but the mountain of obedience can become the mountain of providence.
-
God's promise is waiting upon our full commitment to Him!
We live in a time where we are constantly being challenged and we have to be extra vigilant and not lose sight of God at any time.
-
Mount Carmel was a mountain of decision for the people but they were wavering between 2 opinions.
-
What is your decision today?
Most of us and if not all of us today have a mobile phone and when we talk about network connections, we are talking about qualities like coverage, speed, and value.
-
How many of us see that in our connection with people? Coverage (friends), speed (reachable) and value (meaningful relationships).
-
Let's continue to stay connected with one another through conversations, deeds, thoughts and prayers!
What is the most valuable investment in life? People are highly valued in God's economy.
-
Let's invest and build meaningful relationships!
Laying on of hands refers to an impartation. The cross would not be complete without the horizontal relationship in that we impart, that we share, we love with people around us.
-
God is not looking for platforms, He's looking for people. Let's love harder than ever before ❤️
To 'edify' means to 'build up', to 'improve' each other.
-
Let's be an edifier not destroyer and let's be generous with our words of encouragement!
The doctrine of baptism teaches about our Christian journey right now and how are we to walk with Jesus.
-
The pattern that Jesus has set is one of a servanthood and it is because of what Jesus has done, we can have a brand new life!
-
How are you following Jesus? How are you living your life for Jesus?
How well do we know our fathers?
-
It is one thing to know who God is, but who is God to you? Not just what you can get from Him, but who is the Father to you? Do we want to know God more as our Abba Father?
Storms are part of our lives, it is there for us to overcome and help us to be more mature.
-
As we face our storms in life, lets hang onto the spiritual anchors.
The journey of faith is an AMAZING RACE!
-
As we run this amazing race, remember that God is with us, God hears our prayer and God will make a way!
Weaknesses are areas that can never be fully managed on our own and will require us to depend on God.
-
Don't despise or be shameful of our weaknesses. It is totally fine to have weaknesses.
-
Learn to manage our weaknesses by pursuing God, drawing close to God, being close to the community of God.
We have come to believe that the anointing of the Holy Spirit is like climbing the corporate ladder.
-
Have we truly allowed the Holy Spirit to work in us? Are we desperate enough?
People often want to run away from the problems because we don't think there is any solution.
-
God sees us and hears us.
-
Are you going to 'pause' for a moment? Don't stop or run away! The 'pause' could be your encounter with God
We all know that God loves us but we often see love in terms of comfort, that God must put our comfort as His priority.
-
But the truth is that God sees love in trust.
-
Do we love Him enough even to the point of trusting in Him fully? Not partially or circumstantially!
Happiness is a state of being, not a state of having and when we pursue God, happiness will follow suit.
-
Let's cultivate habits that will keep unhappiness away from us!
Happiness is a top priority in people's lives but many are dependent on external stimulants to make them happy.
-
True happiness begins with God. What will you choose today?
God is always speaking but are we tuned in?
-
What is God speaking to you now? If you keep on wanting to see signs and not knowing the message, you will always overlook spiritual significance.
The resurrection of Jesus is central to our faith and there is power in His resurrection!
Faith is such a common word that we use. Faith is not positive thinking, motivational nor hope.
-
Hope dwells in the realm of your mind but faith is anchored in your heart.
-
Faith is an acknowledgement of who God is in our lives. That is why the foundation truth is not just faith but faith toward God.
The core of repentance is relationship with God and repentance is choosing to walk with God.
-
It is not about being perfect but being willing to be perfected by God. The result of repentance is a changed lifestyle!
The helmet of salvation is about a renewed mind of who we are in Christ. We need to know who we are in Christ and the finished work of Christ
and be assured of our salvation in Christ.
-
The sword of the Spirit ⚔️ is the word of God and a renewed mind is filled with the word of God.
-
Let's put on the full armour of God! 🛡️⚔️
This one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV)
-
Are you ready to live your life for this one thing?
-
Forget your past achievements and failures - learn submission;
-
Focus on the future by maximising your life in the present for God's glory - have godly ambition;
-
Forge through all the adversity for the prize of the upward call in Him - carry determination
Our faith in Christ will come under fire and the enemy will want to get through to us through our faith.
-
But our faith is also our shield. It is our weapon to quench the fiery darts of the evil one.
Our attitude toward God's word will help our faith to grow!
There are shoes for everything nowadays. Paul said the shoes of the gospel of peace and it refers to the peace that we have with God through the good news of our salvation in Christ.
-
The peace that God gives is not one that we can comprehend or manufacture. Keep walking with Him 🚶
Our understanding on righteousness is crucial for the way we live our lives. It is our responsibility to live in righteousness.
-
Because of what Christ has done, we are good enough & made righteous in Him - that will lead us to want to live right and do right 🙌
The last 12 months have been challenging for most of us but on the flip side it allows us time to slow down, read, pray and to reflect.
-
As we reflect, let's take action to evaluate our lives and reset our priorities!
Facts tells us what it is but truth is immutable; truth doesn't change. As God's people, we live and build our faith on God's truth
-
Facts operates in the seen, faith operates in the unseen.
-
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
Most issues in our lives stem from what is within and that is why external fixes will not bring internal change.
-
The younger son rebelled and was lost in “a far country” while the older son was lost in his father’s house and had unresolved anger which lad to resentment.
-
Anger is the root of hatred, rebellion and resentment. Always keep our internal in check!
Esau despised his birthright as the firstborn selling it to Jacob for a bowl of stew. Later on, after the Isaac blessed Jacob with the firstborn blessing in Genesis 27, Esau was so furious that he hated his brother and wanted to kill him.
-
Unresolved hatred leads to wrong actions and hatred will cloud our judgments.
-
Don't let hatred fill our inner-being. It will only make us toxic and destructive!
The conflicts between brothers can stem from their internal. This first part of the Tales of Two Brothers series talks about Cain and Abel.
-
The issue within Cain escalated when they brought offerings before the Lord. The Bible tells us that God respected Abel's offering but not Cain's and that became the trigger point for Cain and his anger led him to the first murder in the Bible.
-
When anger come knocking on the door, don’t allow it to come in. Deal with it by all means!
We have entered into 2021. The new year brings a hope for the new, but the new year doesn't necessary mean that it will be a new you.
-
One of the main reasons that people can't progress is because they are unable to let go of their thrones and thorns.
-
2021 can be a powerful year of change, moving forward and transformation. Let go of every throne and thorns in your life!
Christmas all over the world have always been a time of gathering of family and friends 🎄 🎁 It is also a time of God showing His great love for us.
-
Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Jesus Christ. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world.
-
Jesus Is the Reason for the Season! Rejoice!
We must learn to incorporate thankfulness in our daily lives.
-
Let's be thankful and grateful in all seasons. Remember, give thanks IN, not FOR is the key to our victories. #thankfulfor
When people only focus on the spectacular, they missed out on God's 'passing by' moments in their lives.
-
Don't miss every opportunity to experience God. Make room for God!
It has indeed been an unexpected year but we can end the year and start the new year being thankful to God.
-
This coming year requires determination and effort if we want it to be meaningful 🎊. If we step into the new year casually, we will end up becoming casualties.
In our lives, there will be many instances where we will want to quit and there will be times where we don’t feel God, but we have to keep moving forward.
-
Our faithfulness to God should never be determined by conditions, environment and preferences. The only way to move forward is to stay faithful to God ✞
Fear is a normal human response when we come face to face with uncertainties or doubts.
-
Our response is crucial to determine whether in spite of fear, we are able to move forward into our future or being bound in the present!
The lens of our lives frames our views and beliefs resulting in our action.
-
Thinking differently from the "world" has been part of the Christian’s responsibility and agenda from the beginning but it requires us to consciously discern how and where they stand over against the gospel and adopt radically different thinking!
When God releases instructions, it's usually instructional and directional. God can use an instance and make it into a season.
-
Don't go looking for the impressionable words, we need to look for the instructional word that gives us direction even in this season of our lives!
In our walk, the breakthrough is not to keep running only when we see result. We need to continue to have faith in God.
-
We cannot lose the heart to run for nothing. Keep running until the nothing becomes something 🏃🏃♀️
A shift doesn't come in the most comfortable or expected setting and God wants to bring a shift in our lives in these times.
-
Don’t let our boats and the stormy weather ⛈️ stop us from a God-shift in our lives!
We never expected year 2020 to be filled with so many adjustments and changes because of Covid-19.
-
In a world riddled with uncertainty, we need an anchor. There is no better anchor than Jesus Christ.
-
Jesus is our hope ✝
When we choose Jesus, it's all in or nothing.
We don't decide when we want to obey, or how much we want to sacrifice. The moment we follow Jesus, we are laying our whole lives on the altar. Don't 👏🏻 hold 👏🏻 back👏🏻
The word ‘fellowship’ has been so watered down in our modern society.
-
Fellowship is more than mere friendship. True Christian fellowship is sharing together the things of God, serving each other, always praying for each other and loving each another.
Worship is a mystery, a glorious heaven mystery.
-
Worship is in - through - with Jesus ✝
Just as every Christian is a disciple, every Christian is also a steward.
-
The life we live and the choices we make must recognise that everything belongs to God.
Discipleship begins with a heart-decision and it must be at the right place with a right attitude ❤️
-
If we want to see our lives grow and church grow, we must prioritize discipleship.
-
Let’s Discipled to Make Disciples!
There is a cost to discipleship, and it is not easy.
-
It is possible to follow Christ superficially when it is only all about us. But this is not how a disciple of Jesus Christ should be. Discipleship is about putting Jesus as supreme in our lives!
-
Let's make time and effort for discipleship!
Discipleship is not just an idea or a philosophy or a concept. It is a commission from God and the way of life of a believer in Christ.
-
Discipleship is not just about doing life, it is about building lives!
Knowing God's will is such a huge subject but Christians should not struggle with it.
How to know His will? The wilderness was a preparation for the children of Israel to enter the Promised Land. Parallel to our time: the world is a preparation for us to enter into God’s Kingdom.
-
If it is right according to His word, if it is in-line with God’s time, if it bears witness with our life’s message, if it is moving us out of our comfort, it is probably God's will.
What is occupying your heart today? Are we willing to give God our whole heart?
-
When our hearts are set right before God, we are able to understand what it means to be doing church, what it means to do ministry, and to serve.
If your character is not right, your squat won’t be able to carry the weight that God wants to put upon your life.🏋🏻♂️
As Christians we need to be effective and fruitful. Work while it is still day, don't be lazy and do not procrastinate.
-
Laziness is knowing but not doing. Complacency on the other hand is knowing but delaying.
-
Being tired is totally normal but we need to get our strength from God. Let Jesus refresh you!
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." - 2 Timothy 4:7
-
Let's keep up a good fight, keep our faith strong and passion high and finish our race well!
A competing athlete competes to win and there must be intentional training and mastery to be competent.
As a believer in Christ, we have to finish the race that is set before us 🏃🏃♀️
"God should never be a number in our lives. The moment we put Him on a list we make Him comparable to things like family, career and ministry."
This word accountability is not a popular word and because of the lack of understanding or abuse, many Christians don't think that it is important in their lives.
-
But accountability challenges us to look at the way we live our lives, help us to stay on the right path and also to live right.
-
Accountability is not natural to us but it is needed in our Christian walk!
Fathers are to be examples and a father who fears God brings blessings to his family.
-
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in Harvest Gen!
Whatever that is happening in our time is not an event of chance and it ought to open our eyes to the urgency of the hour that we are living in.
-
Our life in Christ is not just about blessings and breakthroughs, a big part of it is to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ!
In life we can be passionate about something, but inaction will lead to nothing.
-
There will always be the problems from without and conflicts within when we want to move forward in God's plan and purpose.
-
Let's rise up together in these times and avail ourselves as individuals and as a church to be God's instruments!
God’s plan is always about people and purpose.
-
We are to give freely what Christ has freely given to us and this culture of the kingdom must first be in us.
-
Is there someone who we can reach out and bless in this challenging time?
Change is a progression in life and our attitude toward change is important.
-
If we don’t effect change, change will affect us.
-
Keep changing forward!
What is the most important things in our lives?
-
God allows circumstances and challenges to happen in our lives because He wants us to grow in our characters.
-
Let's focus on what's ahead and fix our eyes on Jesus ✞
Mothers may not be perfect but they want the best for their children.
-
Troubles are not the end of story for our lives, in fact they are ingredients to write stories in our lives.
-
The key 🔑 is not to give up
One of the things God is doing through Jesus is hitting the reset button for our lives.
-
One wrong decision does not define your future.
-
God can give you a new beginning; He can use you greatly and give you a future!
Don't let our journey be blinded by the chaos or the comfort that we are hoping to walk towards that we fail to see Jesus that is walking alongside us!
-
Here's to knowing God more day by day! Let's not let this season pass by just like that.
God is in the process of preparing us for what that is ahead and We have to set and adjust our sight to look further than now.
-
Don't just keep looking at the now, look ahead! We will get there if we stay the course and eternity minded 💖
Without Christ's resurrection, our faith will be meaningless and our sins would have never been forgiven.
-
Our salvation is only complete with the resurrection of Jesus ✞
All of us don't like disruptions and delays but our disruptions and delays are part of a bigger picture of the destiny that God has for our lives
-
God can change every despair to destiny!
One of the greatest experiences of prayer is being able to enter into God's presence because it is in His presence that we can find peace.
-
True peace is not hard to get because true peace comes from Jesus! ✞
Times are gonna get more challenging and difficult but don't be disheartened for our hope is in God.
-
Prayer should never be our last option. Peace is the outcome of prayer 🙏
-
Let's look to Jesus!
Good answer to prayer is not ‘yes’ but the revealed purpose in the things we pray for.
-
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…” Philippians 4:6
This race of life is a marathon. 🏃🏻We need to watch ourselves consistently, never growing too comfortable that we fall behind.
“So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us.” - Hebrews 12:1
God has been calling out to us, not just an ordinary call but final call.
-
Are we responding to His call? 📞
The closeness of our walk with Him is dependent on the involvement of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
-
Are you in step with the spirit? 👣
Who is the Holy Spirit to you? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth.
The Holy Spirit is more than a feeling. He is the spirit of truth. 📖
Who are you listening to today?
The mirror is a reflection of what is on the outside but what about the reflection in the inside.
-
What and how do you see yourself inwardly is crucial.
-
Have you looked in the mirror today? 🪞
The lure of the in-betweens is always settling for lesser for the appearance of the full. People can come so near and yet can be so far
-
From getting from good to best, there will be changes and challenges but don’t let your purpose die because of changes and challenges
-
Let's get ready to go deeper and get uncomfortable!
As believers in Christ, we know that God has a great plan for our lives.
-
Getting there requires getting up, get moving and gain momentum ➡️
A new year brings a sense of new beginnings.
-
If you want 2020 to be a great year, deal with the weight that is in the inside!
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” Matthew 10:16-18
As we face the world, be wise and have a pure heart.
God is a caring, loving and compassionate Father and He loves us more than we will ever understand.
God's purpose is not microwaveable. In the shaking, He is shaping us and conditioning us to face the challenges coming our way. 💪🏻 #EndureWithPurpose
Even when we don't feel it, even when we don't see it, God is working. 💪🏻 #TrustTheProcess
Difficult trials, sufferings and painful seasons are moments that hit us hard and deep.
-
We should not focus on the 'WHY', instead we need to focus on the 'WHAT'.
"God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life." - Psalm 51:10
We don't always need to be in a hurry. 😊 It's o-k-a-y to rest and not be busy. Pace well, 'cos we're in it for the long run. 🏃
All of us want to feel significant and our lives to amount to something.
-
As a church we got to know that each and everyone of us is significant. Your significance helps to build the church
Faith doesn't mean that God does your work. Your next action can be God's trigger for your life.
Jonah's prayer was a journey from a crying of a weak man to suddenly someone who is speaking with confidence.
-
It's not about what God can do for us, the things that God can pour forth into our lives. But the unending depths of God is who He is.
-
Let's grow deeper in Him
We know that God could but that does not mean He should.
God is bigger than our prayers, answered or unanswered. God is good, all the time 🙌
We are a community because of Christ 🤗 We're not meant to live in isolation, but to have communion with one another. That means we laugh together, but also suffer and go through the down times together.
Just like how someone walked through life with us, let's be a friend to someone this week! 🥳
We may go through the fire, but we are built to take intense heat because He will always walk with us 🔥
Walk into the week knowing that the fire cant burn us but it is there to refine us. 💪🏻 Take heart because there is always #AnotherInTheFire 🙌🏻
There is power when we lock shields with one another 🛡
-
Momentum gathers and communities are changed when God's people come together. 💪🏻
When our lives are squeezed, what comes forth? 🌊
The deeper we go with God, the more we have to offer. 💪 When we're fully submerged and we flow with God, we find that we depend lesser on ourselves and more on Him.
Appearance is not the conclusion of things.
-
God's goodness is promised based. Are we looking beyond our natural situation and seeing the supernatural providence of God? 👀
Our fighting ground is the proving ground for our future. 💪🏻
-
We fight for a future that does not cease on this earth. We fight for something more that is at stake, our eternity. Don't stop, keep on FIGHTING!! 👊🏻
Look with your heart. ♥️
For every miracle, there is a period of non-response. But God is still speaking amidst the silence. Don't look with your eyes or try to work it out in your mind; look with your heart. 👀
"We cannot just be looking after our own generation. We need to be looking out for the next generation." 💪🏻
The Holy Spirit is bringing us through a process of growth to maturity 💪🏻 So who is the Holy Spirit to us today?
As God pours His rain upon our lives, it's time for us to grow up, mature and bear much fruit. 🍇
Repeated experiences don't create new stories. 💯 God wants to go on an adventure with us, but are we ready for new experiences with Him? 🙌🏻 #CountMeIn
Are we living out our God-given potential? 💪🏻 Or are we still sleeping in the belly of the ship? 😴
Jesus wants to build His kingdom, but it's not just up to the pastors to do it. It's up to the #people. 🙌🏻 - We are chosen. We are appointed. God equips us, but we get to apply the upgrade. 💪🏻
Our faith in Christ ought to change and transform our lives.
-
Change doesn't happen overnight but we must desire to change.
When we serve, we gotta serve from our hearts and with passion. 🔥 It's not about titles or status, but knowing the mission God has given us.
God will give us a window, a time, a moment, and it has a duration. Take hold of the arrow. 🏹 Keep striking the ground. 💪 Don't stop short!
Are we just praying for God to answer our prayers or are we willing to fully surrender to His will for us? 💯
We need to always align our will to God's will. 🙌🏻
The jar has to be broken for the fragrance to be released.
When Jesus becomes more valuable to us than the jar in our hands, that's when we can let go. 😊 What's withholding you from releasing that fragrance in your life today? 🙏🏻
What we do and the decisions we make will determine who we are and the legacy we leave behind.
What's one thing we can do today that will shape our tomorrow?
Your failings do not make you a failure! ☺ Don't keep staying down. You can get up and bounce back today! 🙌🏻
"If you don't hear and obey His word for you today, you won't see His plan for you tomorrow." - Rev TT Quah 💯💯💯
-
What you hear today determines what you receive tomorrow.
Mary was all about the being 🤗 Martha was all about the doing 💪 Yet, they both shared a common denominator - a relationship with Jesus. 💯
-
Perfection is trying to live up to the standards of the world. 👉🏻 Excellence is living to the standards God has called us to live our lives towards. 💯💯💯
"A promise of God bridges your present to your future." ✨
You're never too young, never too old to be tested by God. 💯 It's never too late to receive your promise.
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Mark 10:45
-
Serving is not about duty, but devotion. 🤗
For all of you who've been faithfully serving, week in and week out, we just wanna say THANK YOUU! 🥳🎉🙌 Let's keep on serving and building together!💃🏼
"As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God." - Psalms 42:1-2b (NKJV)
-
There need to be a constant hunger to yearn and desperation of our expectation. Don't take the expectation that you bring lightly.
Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus. His resurrection is a testimony of Him removing the sting out of death.
-
Jesus gives us victory over death and everlasting life to those who believe in Him.
-
Thank you Jesus for what You have done on the cross for us ✞
"So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit." John 19:30
-
Jesus has nullified the penalty of sin, defeated death, brought salvation and broke the separation between men and God.
"You hold the mic to your life. You decide whose voice you want to be amplified." - Ps Clarance Sashi
Jesus went to the cross for your transformation, not your preservation. We need to move from faith being a response to what God does, to faith being a resolve in our Spirit. Our greatest challenge is to stay in a position of faith, and not allowing our faith to be derailed.
The threshing floor can be a place in your life where the chaff of your fear is removed from the wheat of your faith. 🌾
To BELIEVE is to BE LIVING it. 💪
God's calling upon Abraham was bigger than the reality of his life. He believed and stepped into God's promise though he had not seen—the promise of God is in the unseen. 👀
"Little by little I will drive [your enemies] out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land." - Exodus 23:30
God is building us to be who we are in the little by little. 💪🏻 Don't be in a rush. Enjoy the journey to your breakthrough. 🏃🏻 #TrustTheProcess
Don't let the thorns (or worries of this world) rob you from the abundant life God has for you.
"Have a vision that is bigger than yourself." - Ps Foo Ryan
We don't need a bigger vision to do the same thing. God is calling us to things beyond us—we just need to step out and not be fearful of conquering the unknown! 💪
Anointing comes through the crushing and squeezing of our lives. It's tough, but it's in those moments that God brings the best out of us.
God made each of us unique in our own way. 🙋 When what you do matches who you are, you can confidently walk each step with purpose! 🙌 #youdoyou
When the storm of offences come, we need to spread our wings of forgiveness to soar above the storm. 🦅☁ #LetItGo #LetGod
Evangelism is as simple as bringing Jesus into our daily conversations. 😀All we need to do is SHARE Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and trust God for the results.
Thank you so much Ps Dato' Dr Daniel Ho for reminding us that evangelism should be our lifestyle. Keep on sowing and let's believe that God WILL bring in the harvest! 🙌
Spiders are skillful creatures—they draw out a substance from their bodies that becomes silk threads to weave their webs. 🕷
What we have is already in us, but we need to draw it out to be PRODUCTIVE—it's not about where we are, but what we choose to do! 💪
Productivity is within our reach, and we are so stoked to step out and walk in #FAITH! Let this year be an adventure with God! 🔥 #BeProductive
"When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow." - James 1:3
Faith is more than an experience. It's a JOURNEY of persistence! 💪 As God brings us from faith to faith, there WILL be tests along the way.
But we know every test is to REFINE us, not destroy us. So whatever God is bringing us through, we believe it’s gonna be a better second half of our life. 😄
"For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Cor. 5:7
Faith is looking beyond our problems to see God's promise for our lives. 💪 The bigger the promise, the bigger the giants we have to face. Though there'll be challenges in the natural, we take heart that our promise is in the supernatural! 😇
"Because the Lord had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her." - 1 Samuel 1:6
God uses situations (and irritating people) to poke us out of our comfort zones. Provocation pushed Hannah to pour out her bitterness and make way for God's promise in her life.
Every provocation or irritation is a chance for us to step into God's destiny for our lives. This year, let's seize those opportunities and love people even more! ❤🙆
