Jesus “helps Himself” to us
Today I read a snippet from Charles Spurgeon’s devotions, where he wrote – “Paul became a sacramental (consecrated/blessed) personality, wherever he went, Jesus Christ HELPED HIMSELF TO HIS LIFE.” As I meditate on this phrase, I remember how workers in this nation,...
RESTING IN JESUS.
Rest is essential for our bodies to function well. Many Christians don’t appreciate the value of resting or keeping the Sabbath day holy. Rest allows our minds, bodies, souls and emotions to renew and become refreshed, like dew which falls gently on new plants or...
TRUSTING GOD FOR OUR FINANCES or during difficulties.
Many people struggle to trust Christ for their daily living, especially when their bank accounts are depleted, or when the bills are more than they can manage to pay, or when they are in great need. In Genesis 22 we read how God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his...

In Phil 3:12-14. Paul wrote, “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me…I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:...

The Powerful Name of Jesus Christ
