Sunday Mornings

“Come!” answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. (Matt 14:29) In our everyday walk with God, He is always squeezing through our lives as if to persistently ask, “Now when do I come into this relationship, this vacation you have planned, or these books you want to read?” He is always pressing this point until we learn to build faith on Him. The invitation of Jesus to “come” is an invitation to leave the levels where you trust your certificates to get you what you want, where your strength is in your qualifications, your beauty, your finances, and come to a place where your feet may fail. He is calling you from your boat of confidence to the oceans deep and wide with waves to and fro. There His grace abounds much more! He will keep the feet of His saints,…for by strength shall no man prevail.(I Sam 2:9) If you are convinced that thus far you have been relying on your strength, you can make the di...

"Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet" James 4: 8-10. (MSG) As God's children, we ought to forsake friendship with the world and TOTALLY submit to God. "Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God." 1 Peter 1:18 (MSG) God has been so faithful to us. All we need do is to ensure that we live daily pleasing Him. Living with the consciousness that we owe our lives to Him. "The last and Final Word is this: Fear God, Do what He tells you". Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let's strive daily to ensure that we keep God's commandments, refraining from any for any evil and sin. Action Point : 1 Peter 3: 11 "Shun evil and cultivate Good; run after peace for all you're worth".

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. Proverbs 12:27 To be slothful means to be inactive. The passage above shows a slothful scenario that should make all ears tingle. This slothful picture that Solomon is pasting is a man that went on a hunt and brought back game. At this point it becomes a little bit confusing because a synonym for being slothful is being lazy. In other words, for someone to stand from his bed, and go into the bush and wait for hours to get a catch; for him to hit a target and drag the game back home should call for celebration and congratulations for the hardwork thus far; yet God says that he is slothful. The very reason why he went hunting has not been met. The game still remains unroasted . How true is this of us today? Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore,... Ephesians 6:13&14...

Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, LORD, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask him for.” John 11:21-22 ( GNB ). At first sight it appeared Martha had it all. One would hear her speech and perceive she was well grounded in the faith, but a study of later verses postulates otherwise: “ Your brother will rise to life,” Jesus told her. “I know,” she replied, “that he will rise to life on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will live even though they die, and all those who live and believe in me will never die. Do you believe this? (23-26) Just some minutes after her speech, Jesus decided to engage her in a conversation that was meant to expose her ignorance. Jesus wanted to teach her something new. But she was not teachable. She thought she knew it all. Even though she said “Yes” in vs. 27, her rea...
