The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD;He guides it wherever he pleases. Proverbs 21:1I asked the Lord to elaborate on what He meant about being King. He reminded me of King David in the Bible. He was anointed as a King at a young age. This position did not come about till later years.Being a King means that all doors in life are open by the Lord.

Jesus wore the crown of thorns on His head so that you can have a sound mind free from fears, guilt, depression, anxieties and stress.Jesus’ feet brought Him to places where there was lack, disease, condemnation and even death. At the cross, those feet were nail-pierced so that you do not need to be in such places yourself. He has rescued you from having to accept and suffer these things in

As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you have a right to expect restoration of the things that the devil has stolen from you. It may be your health, marriage or finances, but payback time is definitely coming!Act3:20-21 tells us that before Jesus comes back for His church, we will experience “the times of restoration of all things”. What a hope it gives us, knowing that God will restore to

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is one of those countries that have been labelled with this term. According to the French economist Alfred Sauvy, ‘Third World’ countries are characterised by a number of common traits: distorted and highly dependent economies, devoted to

The story of Ruth in the Bible is so amazing. She worked as a gleaner in a barley field from morning till evening. Ruth was a Moabitess, a race of people that had found severe displeasure with the Lord for several reasons. The Moabites where cursed by the Lord because of their perverse beginnings, (the story of Lot and his daughters after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah) and also because

He had 11 brothers who were jealous of him, and sold him into slavery. Other young men his age, no doubt, were out having good time enjoying their lives. But Joseph was confined, living in a foreign land, having to work all the time.

A lot of Christians demand people to be in a certain way before they come to God and yet in my understanding of the Bible, God is not like that. God desires to bless every individual so that they can enjoy life while they are here on earth. Come as you are to the Lord with your need, and lean on His unfailing and unconditional love for you. You don’t have to pretend to be more than what you

Genesis chapter 1:28 declares, “Then God blessed them, and God said to them; be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it...””God’s words are life and spirit (John 6:63) so it is impossible to grasp them with our human mind. They are only revealed to us if we ask Jesus Christ to show us what they mean.What is potential? Potential is a hidden talent or dormant ability that is yet to be

How many of us spend the day worrying about problems instead of enjoying the day? There is a song sung by Bobby McFerrin entitled, “Don’t worry, be happy”. We should be singing this song when we are faced with a problem to help us cheer up. But what does the Bible says about worrying? In Matthew 6:25-33 Jesus reminds his disciples people are more valuable than birds of the air and lilies in

Proverbs 24:3-6Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled, with all precious and pleasant riches.A wise man is strong, yes a man of knowledge increases strength; For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

A few years ago, I dreamt of seeing a lion roaring among a group of people, but the people were not afraid of it; however, the lion continued looking for something that I could not work out. I then woke up from the dream, and was reminded of a scripture in 1 Peter 5:8. It states “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

1 John 1:7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.Are you one of those people going around feeling so unworthy to go into the presence of God? Do you have thoughts that say you cannot go into God’s presence because you have not been reading your Bible and going to church? Or sometimes

Genesis 37:1-36, Genesis 39:1- 41: 1-57Many times when we have a vision we want to complete it quickly or get to it hurriedly because it gives us satisfaction. Sometimes when we arrive in our destination too quickly we end up frustrated and not satisfied. Instead of being fulfilled we get into a lot of problems regarding our mission/vision. Joseph was a very handsome young man in the Bible who

continuation of Names of the BibleMany times we say a prayer and finish it off by saying in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen. So do we know what the name of Jesus is and how or why we use it? Let’s explore and find out why we use "in Jesus' name".The whole book of Exodus discusses about the Israelites being lead by Moses out of Egypt. In Exodus 3:13 Moses asked God what he will say to the

In order to understand the Bible in its context we need to understand a little bit or more if given the chance to study Hebrew and perhaps learn how the Jewish people lived at that time. It will help us to quote the Bible correctly and believe the truths. Many times I hear people misquote John 8:32 saying the truth will set you free, no, the truth will not set you free, unless you have the

Proverbs 18:16 A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.Another word for gift in this context is talent. God has deposited in each person a talent that the world will make room for. When you realise this talent you will learn to use it to its fullest potential to fulfil your vision or passion in life. Education does not make room for you but your gift does according to

“I know the plans I have for you; “declares the Lord,”plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”This is so reassuring that we should not give up where we are right now. If we are a cleaner or a plumber or electrician, we should still hold on to the greatest desire we have deep down in us. Those great passions that remain when we are awake, is called vision.

Many at times growing up people can say bad things (gossip) about us that discourage us and sometimes we remember those experiences and are afraid to move forward in life or move into new challenges. Most time the bad experiences cripple us and leave bad scars forever. Sometimes our families can be problems in our lives. This was the case for young Gideon in the Book of Judges (Bible)Judges
