Light in Times of Darkness

“Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.” Psalms 112:4 Every believer must accept that there will be times when dark clouds of affliction will cover your path. At first GOD is such glorious reality to you and joy floods your life, but the clouds of despondency will soon appear. When that happens, it is essential to reestablish the truth that GOD is unchanging; His love for you is exactly what it has always been. You may find the darkness hard to accept and GOD may seem far off, but hold on...

Surrender Your Life to God

“Lord, teach us to pray.” Luke 11:1 Most Christians are very aware of their inability to pray according to the will of God. Christ sacrificed Himself for us. He gave Himself freely, but He will enrich your life only as far as you allow Him to. The depth and quality of your devotion to Him will be reflected in the strength of your prayer life. It does not mean a thing to ask God for a meaningful and positive prayer life unless you do your share to develop it. If you surrender yourself more completely to Christ, you will become...

An Effective Prayer Life

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.” Philippians 4:6 Of all the Christian disciplines, prayer is the most commonly practiced and the least understood.

Develop an understanding of living Christ, study His word and meditate on His presence. Thank and praise God for the privilege of prayer, and then cast all your cares, fears, problems and requests on Him and ask...

The Power of God’s Love

“People will oppress each other – man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the base against the honorable.” Isaiah 3:5 In today’s world it seems as if chaos and anarchy rule in every corner. However, this doesn’t mean we need to tolerate the situation. In Christ Jesus, God came to fight against evil. He did this with the only weapon effective enough to overcome the forces of darkness. And it is just as powerful today – godly love. God continues to spread His love over His children and it is the Christian’s privilege...

Blessed Assurance

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” Proverbs 16:3 Planning is important in every area of life. You plan for the future, for your marriage, for your finance and for retirement. Much of our time and energy goes into planning. There is a way to make planning better, however, but it requires strict spiritual discipline to make it effective and it must be undertaken with sincerity and honestly. It also requires solid faith and trust in God and in His promises. Whatever your concern may be, lay it before God in prayer with all your...
