The Word of God

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Am I walking with God as a friend or just a consumer? The way we relate to God often determines how we experience His Kingdom. If your prayers focus mainly on "I, me, and myself," you may still be in the consumer stage. But God is calling us higher—to walk with Him not just as seekers of blessing, but as sons, friends, and partners in His Kingdom. 1. Are You Walking with God as a Friend or a Consumer? A consumer sees God as a provider only, focusing on personal needs and breakthroughs. A friend submits to God's heart, values intimacy, and carries His burdens. A disciple is someone who enrolls under Christ's authority, acknowledging His rule and allowing Him to command their steps. Key Sign: If your prayer life is self-centered, it might be time to re-evaluate your relationship posture with God. 2. How Do You Migrate from Consumer to Friend to Son? This journey requires intentional discipleship : Recognizing God as King Submi...

“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” — Genesis 5:24 (KJV) What Does It Mean to Walk with God? To walk with God is not merely to believe in His existence but to journey with Him in intimate fellowship, day by day, step by step. It is a life of communion, obedience, trust, and surrender. The walk is not a sprint — it’s a steady, lifelong relationship shaped by grace, fueled by faith, and anchored in love. Enoch, Noah, and Abraham are all examples of those who walked with God. Their lives teach us that walking with God is not about perfection but about alignment — a heart that seeks after God above all else. Key Aspects of Walking with God 1. Agreement with God “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” — Amos 3:3 Walking with God means agreeing with His ways, submitting to His will, and trusting in His timing. It requires humility to surrender our thoughts, plans, and desires to the leading of the Holy Spirit. 2. Faith and Fellowship “By fa...

  “If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.” — 1 Peter 4:14 (KJV) What is the Spirit of Glory? The “Spirit of glory” is a unique and profound title given to the Holy Spirit. It reveals an aspect of His nature that is not only majestic but also intimately involved in the believer’s journey through suffering and sanctification. This term, found in 1 Peter 4:14, connects glory with the abiding presence of God in times of persecution and trial. It is not a passive glory but an active manifestation of God’s power and approval upon the faithful. Glory in Suffering Peter writes to believers who were suffering for their faith. He assures them that in the midst of rejection, insult, and hardship, God's presence rests upon them in a glorious way . The Spirit of Glory is not a concept reserved for heaven — it is present now , especially in those who...

The Gospel of John stands apart from the Synoptic Gospels in its profound theological focus on the divine nature of Jesus Christ . From the very first verse, John declares without hesitation: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1 KJV). Through powerful "I AM" statements, miracles, and intimate discourses, the Apostle John unveils the glory of the Son of God . In this blog post, we explore 18 distinct divine qualities of Jesus manifested throughout the Book of John—each one pointing unmistakably to His identity as God in the flesh . 1. Eternal Existence "In the beginning was the Word..." (John 1:1) Jesus was not created. He is eternal, existing before time began. 2. Creator of All Things "All things were made by Him..." (John 1:3) Jesus didn’t just witness creation—He made it all. Nothing came into being without Him. 3. The Source of Life "In Him was life; and the life was the li...

“But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.” – Isaiah 49:25 (KJV) We live in a time where many families are under intense spiritual pressure. Children are being attacked by confusion, addiction, rebellion, and worldly influences. Some are held in captivity by forces stronger than what we can handle in the natural. But there is hope— a righteous intercessor in the family can shift destinies . Isaiah 49:25 gives us a profound promise. God, who is subject to His own Word, declares that He will contend with those who contend with us and He will save our children . This is not a casual promise—it is a legal decree from the courts of heaven. And it calls forth intercessors to rise. What is a Family Intercessor? An intercessor is more than someone who prays—they are spiritual gatekeepers , watchmen , and advocates for t...

 The Church holds deep spiritual meaning in the Bible and is represented in multiple powerful ways. Each representation reveals something about the Church’s identity, purpose, and relationship with Jesus Christ. Here are the key biblical representations of the Church: 🔹 1. The Body of Christ Scripture: “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27 (KJV) Meaning: The Church is Christ’s body on earth , with Jesus as the Head (Colossians 1:18). Each believer is a member, with unique gifts and roles. This image emphasizes unity, interdependence, and function . 🔹 2. The Bride of Christ Scripture: “For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” – 2 Corinthians 11:2 (KJV) “...the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” – Revelation 19:7 (KJV) Meaning: The Church is portrayed as a bride , lovingly pursued by Christ. He gave His life for her and is coming agai...

Yes, the Bible clearly teaches that man and woman are different , both in design and purpose , yet equally valuable in the eyes of God. Their distinctions are not merely physical or cultural—they are intentional and theological . Let’s look at the biblical foundation: 🔹 1. Created with Distinction Genesis 1:27 (KJV): “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” From the very beginning, God created two distinct sexes— male and female . Both are made in God’s image, both are equally valuable, but they are not the same. They were created to complement , not compete. 🔹 2. Unique Design and Role Genesis 2:18 (KJV): “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” Eve was created from Adam , not identical to him but uniquely suited to complement him. The term “help meet” ( ezer kenegdo in Hebrew) means a corresponding companion , not a subordinate. 1 Corinthians ...

  “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” – Romans 12:1 (KJV) What Are Sacrifices? In the Bible, sacrifices are acts of worship where something valuable is offered to God . In the Old Testament, these were often animal offerings , presented on an altar to atone for sin, express thanksgiving, or seek fellowship with God. But in the New Testament, the focus shifts from physical animals to spiritual sacrifices —acts of obedience, praise, giving, service, and even our very lives . The Purpose of Sacrifice To Worship God Every true sacrifice is an offering of love, expressing God's worth. “Sacrifice” in Hebrew ( zebach ) and Greek ( thusia ) always centers on drawing near to God. To Acknowledge God’s Holiness Sacrifices remind us that God is holy and worthy of reverence. The cost involved reveals the depth of our devotion . To Demonstrate Obedi...

  “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” – Proverbs 19:17 (KJV) What Is Almsgiving? Almsgiving is the act of giving to the poor and needy—whether through money, food, clothing, or help. It is compassion in action , fueled by love and mercy. Unlike the tithe (given to honor God) or the seed offering (given with expectation), alms are given out of compassion , without expecting anything in return from the recipient. But when we give alms with the right heart, God Himself becomes our rewarder. The Biblical Foundation Old Testament Commands God’s heart for the poor is clear throughout Scripture: “Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy...” – Deuteronomy 15:11 (KJV) Provision for the poor was built into Israel’s culture (gleaning laws, Jubilee, etc.). Jesus and Almsgiving Jesus commended almsgiving as a righteous act when done in secret (Matthew 6:1–4). ...

  “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” – 2 Corinthians 9:6 (KJV) What Is a Seed Offering? A seed offering is a faith-filled gift given to God with a specific expectation or purpose in mind. Unlike the tithe (which is 10% of our income) or firstfruits (which is the first of our increase), a seed offering is voluntary and intentional —planted in expectation of a spiritual, physical, or financial harvest. Just as a natural seed produces a harvest when planted in good soil, a seed offering is a spiritual act of trust in God’s promise to bring increase. Biblical Foundations The Principle of Sowing and Reaping “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Every seed—whether in actions, words, or finances—has the potential to yield a harvest. Seed offerings operate on this divine principle. Isaac’s Seed in Famin...

“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” – Proverbs 3:9–10 (KJV) What Are Firstfruits? The concept of firstfruits comes from the Old Testament practice where the Israelites would bring the first and best portion of their harvest to God as an offering (Exodus 23:19, Leviticus 23:10). It was an expression of gratitude, trust, and devotion to the Lord who gave the increase. Firstfruits were not the leftovers after the harvest was stored or sold. They were given first , before the rest was even gathered. This required faith —a trust that God would bless what remained. The Principle Behind Firstfruits Firstfruits symbolize putting God first in everything. When we honor God with the first of our income, time, talents, or opportunities, we are declaring: “You are the source of my blessing.” “I trust You with what comes next.” “You are worthy o...
