BRINGING GLORY TO GOD
How do we define the glory of God? His glory is comparable to His holiness which is his totally unique and perfect divine Being. In Isaiah 6 we read how the prophet Isaiah saw “the Lord seated on His Throne” in holiness, with Angels surrounding Him. Isaiah 6:3 says –...
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,...
ABBA FATHER HELPS THE WEARY
Do you feel tired and weary? Synonyms for “weary” are tired, exhausted, fatigued, and overworked, which confirms the Biblical meaning. The Hebrew word for “weary” is עָיֵף (ʿāyēp), which is also translated as “tired,” “exhausted,” or “fatigued.” This word is often...
EN ANNA KOSKAAN ANTEEKSI!
Luin kirjaa, jossa on alla oleva kertomus. Se pysäyttää. Ovatko Jeesuksen sanat totta vertauksessa, jonka Hän puhuu opetuslapsilleen Matteuksen evankeliumin luvussa 18? Siinä armoton palvelija ei anna toiselle anteeksi, vaikka itse on saanut kaiken anteeksi. Lopulta...

The Powerful Name of Jesus Christ
The Bible explains, that when Jesus was born as an ordinary man, He laid aside all His heavenly rights, His heavenly dignity, His glory, and His mighty power. In Paul´s letter to the Philippians, we can read how “Jesus humbled himself and was obedient to God...
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...
Getting ready for ETERNITY
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:...
14.2. Ystävänpäivä-Parhaimman Ystävän rakkaus
"En sano teitä enää palvelijoiksi, sillä palvelija ei tiedä, mitä hänen herransa tekee. Minä kutsun teitä ystäviksi, sillä olen ilmoittanut teille kaiken, mitä olen kuullut Isältäni." Joh. 15:15 Jeesus kutsui opetuslapsiaan ystävikseen jo siinä vaiheessa, kun...
