Unstable Understanding

 “Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: Give me understanding according to thy word.” Psalm 119:169 KJV

The use of human senses has been the enemies’ weapon of manipulation from the beginning; and the Devil doesn’t have another tricks. Therefore, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding (Proverbs 3:5)” remains the most reliable admonition for stable Christians in this unstable world. Yes, unstable understanding makes believers to trust the words of kingmakers, powerful politicians, financial moguls, and social influentials above divine revelations. After all, people would want to see the resemblance of classic wardrobes in the appearance of someone who promises the needy a new set of dresses. Unfortunately, there is no stability and steadfastness in what the human eyes can see, and what the human mind can conceive. Faith in the unseen God and trust in His revealed promises doesn’t change with changes in the season of time and the instability in economy. When believers pray to God by faith in His words, they have the attention of heaven for a release of its unlimited resources; we just need grace to focus on the understanding of God’s words on our prevailing situation and circumstances.

Holy Hope

  “ And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister ” Colossians 1 : 21 - 23 KJV When Apostle Paul alluded to the tragedy of miserable hope of some Christians elsewhere, believers are not left in doubt of the heavenly demand for holiness and righteousness from those who claim a reasonable relationship with God. Even today, unholy hopes pride themselves in the practice of Christianity with carelessness and compromises. Whereas, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in the body of his flesh through death is never in vain, and cannot be worthwhile with the slightest accommodation of wickedness, immorality, a...

Righteous Resolution

  “ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: But the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Psalm 1 : 1 - 2 , 6 KJV The problem with the concept of New Year resolutions is that the resolutions are results focussed, including new walkout goals, new diet habits, new relationship models for family, social, and workplace partners, etc. We know that these results resolutions are hard to keep and maintain with the best of human strategies. When Thomas Edition acclaimed ‘Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration ’, he probably believed in the divine order of the 1% inspiration in the 100% success principle. Remove the 1 ahead of the 100 and you’ll get zero, NOT 99! Little wonder the psalmist clearly adopted a righteous resolution strategy, instead of ...

Spirit Sprinting

   “ Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.” Acts 8 : 29 , 39 - 40 KJV Evangelism and soul-winning according to Phillip represents a unique lifestyle of spirit sprinting. Yet, it is the expected normal lifestyle of children of God: “ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8 : 14 )”. Unfortunately, we live in a digital world of high-speed 5G internet connectivity with huge data sharing and artificial intelligence; and then think worthless about the capabilities of the lifestyle of spirit sprinting. Little wonder that why we now live, dine, and wine with our world without ever going near them with the gospel message. Whereas, with the spirit sprin...
