The Word of God

  Mark 1:17 (KJV): “And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” ✨ Unpacking the Verse “Come ye after me” This is an invitation and a command at the same time. Jesus calls not for admiration from afar but for personal following . Discipleship means walking where He walks, learning His ways, and living under His authority. 📖 Matthew 11:28–29 – “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” 👉 Meaning: Following Jesus begins with a step of trust and surrender. “And I will make you” Discipleship is not self-made. Jesus Himself shapes, molds, and transforms His followers. It is a process (“I will make”) — transformation doesn’t happen in one moment but as we walk with Him. 📖 Philippians 1:6 – “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a go...

  Mark 1:15 (KJV) “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” 1. “The time is fulfilled” Jesus points to the fact that history has reached its turning point — the long-awaited promise is now happening. Genesis 3:15 – “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Isaiah 9:6–7 – “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Daniel 9:25 – “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the...

Psalm 1 – Rooted in God’s Word Psalm 1 opens the entire Book of Psalms with a powerful reminder: true blessing comes from living a life grounded in God’s Word. It describes the difference between the righteous and the ungodly, showing us the way of life that leads to stability and fruitfulness. “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,nor standeth in the way of sinners,nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.But his delight is in the law of the LORD;and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” (Psalm 1:1–2, KJV) The blessed life is not about wealth or worldly success—it’s about being planted in the right soil. When we choose God’s Word as our delight, we are like trees planted by rivers of water: always nourished, always bearing fruit, and never withering, no matter the season. In contrast, the ungodly are described as chaff—blown away by the wind, unstable, and without roots. The difference lies in what we anchor our lives upon. A tree with deep roots by t...

The phrase "iron sharpeneth iron" is found in the Book of Proverbs , specifically: Proverbs 27:17 (KJV) "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." This verse means that just as iron tools are made sharper and more effective by friction with another piece of iron, so people can improve, strengthen, and sharpen one another through friendship, correction, and meaningful interaction. It often reflects the idea of accountability , mentorship , and mutual growth , especially in Christian fellowship. When the Lord highlights "Iron sharpeneth iron" (Proverbs 27:17) to you, He may be reminding you of several possible truths, depending on where you are spiritually or what you're facing. Here are some reflections on what the Lord could be trying to tell you through this: 1. You Need Godly Relationships Around You The Lord may be urging you not to walk alone. Growth, wisdom, and refinement often come through interaction w...
