IF YOU DO THESE

IF YOU DO THESE   (01 May 2025) 1 Kings‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ But if you or your sons  at all turn from following Me , and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight . Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them ; therefore the Lord has brought all this calamity (trouble) on them . These were God’s warnings to King Solomon to remind him of the consequences of walking in disobedience, either on h...

MY COMFORTER AND FRIEND

MY COMFORTER AND FRIEND   John 14:17-18 17  the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.  18  I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.   Before Jesus was about to be crucified and suffered on the cross, he comforted His disciples that though in body he would depart from them, in spirit, HE would come to them and continue to dwell with them. Not everyone can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Spirit of Truth), except those (His own, His children) who believed and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.   Romans 8:9, 16 9  … Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ , he is not His . 16  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,…   This verse tells us that the Holy Spirit can identify who belongs to God and who doesn’t. Those who do not know him (meaning those...

LISTEN TO HIM

LISTEN TO HIM 15 April 2024 Deuteronomy‬ ‭18‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ I will raise up for them a Prophet like you (Moses) from among their brethren, and will put My words in His (Jesus) mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name (God’s name), I will require it of him. During Moses’ days, God revealed to Moses that HE would send Jesus, the Messiah, to come and live among the people. He would be a great prophet for the people of Israel.  God told Moses to implore the people (Israelites) to listen to all that Jesus would speak to them when he appeared, or else HE would require of them. This means there are great penalties and consequences for rejecting Jesus’ words by the people.   This tells us Jesus was appointed to speak every Word of God revealed to Him from above for all the people during His ministry on earth.   If we are the children of God, undeniably, we must hear His Words. H...

NOT CHEAP GRACE

NOT CHEAP GRACE   John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.   1 Peter 2:24 Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree (cross), that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed. What types of sons and daughters are you?   Are you saying that if your parents have asked you to empty the smelly trash or clean up the kitchen on weekends, you have decided not to be their sons and daughters? This can’t be because you know they are your parents!   Similarly, do you know God has become your Heavenly Father the day you accepted HIM as your Lord and Saviour? There is a spirit born into us the moment we confess, “God, I want to believe in You and accept You as my Lord and Saviour.” Between us and our parents, we are born of flesh and blood. But between God and us, we are born of His Spirit. Those born of God’s spirit are a new creation ; the old (sinful li...

IF TWO AGREE

IF TWO AGREE   Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Again I say to you that  if two of you agree  on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. Two days’ ago, happened that a youth visited my home as he followed my son home from outside. He looked downcast with knitted brows due to parental and personal problems.  I tried to counsel him as he is one of the youths I reach out to. I used to post inspiring messages to encourage these youths. I never thought if these youths would read all my messages because they are very active, busy with school and outdoor activities.  Sometimes we never knew if a person was undergoing hell until we heard about it. The question he threw at me was, “Aunty, I am so depressed with my parents’ issues and now I have to travel so far for my internship. It took me two hours travelling up and down. I knelt down to God asking Him to help me    cope with many issues I had and HE didn’t answer m...

A NEW CREATION

A NEW CREATION   Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ‭‭ We often shrink when we are going to do something difficult. We first thought about the difficulties and hardships but failed to think about the outcomes.  A gathering filled with plenty of friends may be an opportunity for one to break away from isolation. Away from the cycles of loneliness, anti-socialism, boredom, quietness and old lifestyles.  The day we accepted the Lord as our God and Saviour, we are a new creation in Christ Jesus. Old things and old lifestyles have passed away, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ‭‭ God desires to recreate us to be that new person, ready to assume the destiny HE has designed for us to walk. Do you want that old you or you want a new and better version of yourself that God (the potter...

TWO PROPHETS OF GOD

TWO PROPHETS OF GOD   Read 1 King Chapter13.   1 King 13:24-25 24 When he was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the corpse . 25 And there, men passed by and saw the corpse thrown on the road, and the lion standing by the corpse. Then they went and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.  This passage tells the stories of two prophets. Since the bible didn’t tell us their actual names. We refer to them as   Young Prophet   and   Old Prophet .  One day,   Young Prophet  was sent by God to go to King Jeroboam to do a task. He obeyed and went to see the king. After he had finished the task, God instructed  Young Prophet  not to stay, eat, or drink there (with the king or anyone), not to go back by the same route he had come. This means, if he came by Queenstown, he should not go home by Queenstown. He must leave by...
