Breakthrough in every sphere of human endeavour requires the breaking of hurdles; otherwise, all efforts appear worthless. Irrespective of the source of the hurdles in life, achievers have great perspective of the cause of hurdles. A man without vision is obstructed by challenging circumstances; but a man of vision advances toward his goal with every circumstances. It would be great to understand the problem to every vision statement are not the hurdles, but the misunderstanding of the source of the vision. Every worthwhile vision is from God, managed and supported by Him. The breaking of the code resides in the understanding of His word. If a man depends on self as code breaker, he will become depressed with discouraging performances; and if he choses another man as code breaker, he will become disappointed with discouraging performances. The counsel of God is accurate and dependable. Every code to breakthrough in life, business, and ministry is in the Word of God; and this Word is Je...

Failure of all parties to reach the same height of expectancy in every relationship often result in distrust. In times of difficulties or wilderness experience, the receiving parties may not be able to control their disappointments. Without external assistance, distrust in the relationship may lead to divorce. The same practice of divorce was experienced by the Children of Israel when they travelled for forty years in the wilderness. They have seen, heard, and tasted enough evidences about the plan of God; that Canaan land was a secured place of rest. All of them (who entered into the covenant with God in Egypt), except two, could not reach the Promise Land because of distrust. Lack of faith in the promises of God is a clear expression of denial of the existence of God. That is the reason why God cannot rely on outward confession of faith, without trials. The wilderness is a place of testing the confidence in the existence of God. Unbelievers also face the crisis of belief when God...

The most important aspect of every relationship is the intimacy or fellowship among parties. Above the need to provide something is the need to present self. Self has the ability to provide the comfort that cannot be found in any other thing. The time commitment invested in every fellowship is often paid off with the joy and fruitfulness in the relationship. The central theme in Paul's letter of restitution and reconciliation between Onesimus and Philemon is the request for forgiveness from Philemon, without accessing the depth of the evil in Onesimus' action. However, the letter later anchored the fruitfulness of the action plan on the fellowship between Paul and Philemon. Sacrifices are lighter with depth in fellowship. It is not hard to tell the quest for fellowship between God and man, by the greatest of all sacrifices - the heavenly Father allowing His only begotten son to die for the sin of humanity. Whatever are the needs in life of every man, every opportunity to fellow...

With growing numbers of issues and responsibilities in ministry or circular work, it is easy to be completely isolated from social services. The control of a society is in the hands of those of who care for it. The question is how can our busy schedules give room for social services, like humanitarian activities, club activities, membership of non-profitable organizations, with focus on those in needs in the society? The problem is not the busy schedules; but the willingness to be part of the solution. All are created specially to respond to some special needs that flag across us in our day-to-day lifes. Without waiting for special call to duty, every day provides the opportunities to respond to needs. Needs that are responded to without the provider noticing any provision of service appears more rewarding. Why look for special call to give? Every breadth provides grace to help others to live. May God multiply His grace upon all His heralds, as we desire to live for service rather than...

The proficiency of a project management professional is accessed by the quality of implementation of the project under his control. Reallocation of resources is often greeted with disdain, because most managers believe management by multiplication of resources guarantees efficient implementation. However, with focus on the Lord as the resource allocator and manager, every resource is appreciated, even if unretained. The presence of the Lord in all of life projects is the secret of consistent success. Whoever attempt to exercise full control and management of human resources must practice witchcraft in order to achieve his desired goal. Submission to God as the resource manager is the beginning of peace and comfort in relationship with others. People are precious resource and most be appreciated and respected, even when not seem to be engaged in one's life project. The true accessment of engagement of all resources in every projects is resident in the true resource manager. If human...

Every higher course in life, career, family, and social expectations require a fight; because there are oppositions to contend against. When one recognises the possibility of grace in these combats, the fight becomes a fight of faith. However, when the motivation in the fight passes all accomplishments for personal fulfilment, a new class of fight is ensued - a fight for faith . A fight for faith is the expression of love for the author and finisher of the faith. It becomes a fight to sacrifice life, instead of the desire to preserve life; so that the name of the Lord and His course can be promoted. Fighting for faith requires a constant review of the Lord's call to the field. In the face of strong opposition, the focus of the fighter must remain unshifted. He fights because he loves the Lord. Therefore, he will only be satisfied when the Lord appears.

The world has become a global village where heralds need no amplified public address system to pass across their messages; and access is not even restricted to any specified period of time. However, the unrestricted access to cyberspace is being aggresively seized for corrupt and damnable messages, including porn, abuses, fraud, gangsterism, etc. While a huge amount of resources has been deployed by states to restore order and regulate access to cyberspace, it seems there may not be visible gate to this invisible pulpit within the nearest future. All pulpits are opened wide; but God's heralds are under-utilizing the opportunity. Conciously or otherwise, many have restricted the word of life to visible pulpits in churches and corners. And the generations here and heretocome have developed appetite for the negative influences in our social system. " Preach the word ", says the Apostle in his valedictory epistle. If Paul had lived in our world today, his message would remain...
