  If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom  is  profitable to direct.  Ecclesiastes 10 : 10    The Holy Spirit is given to the believer at the time of new birth and accepting the Lord Jesus. His task is to simplify life and make it easier for you; and one of the roles he takes up is to be your Guide in every area of life. Jesus said in John 16:13 that he is the Spirit of truth who guides you into ALL truth. So he is an indispensable compass in the journey of life. However, since your life compass is a Spirit, for you to be able to relate with him and get guidance signals from him, your spirit man also needs to be spiritually sensitive. Jesus also affirmed this when he said that God is a spirit, and those that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4 : 24). So, being in the spirit is an absolute requirement for seeking guidance from the Spirit of God; and operating...

  Ephesians 4: 4-6; 16 There is one body , and one Spirit , even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;  One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all , who is above all, and through all, and in you all...(v. 4-6)  ... From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. (v.16) The fourth chapter of the book of Ephesians was written and dedicated to every single person in the world that consider themselves a Christian. It is one of the book that specifically addressed the complete body of Christ without including sinners. Interestingly, within that confines among them, there were the proud ones, the unforgiving, the ones who spread divisions, those whose faith are weak, the children, the liars, the immature, the vain-minded, the angry ones, the thieves, t...

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; f or kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty . For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 The thought of prayer could feel cumbersome or tiring when you do not really understand the magnitude of it importance. The opening scripture in 1 timothy 2 said, FIRST of all, prayers should be made for ALL men; that includes the people in leadership and those at the hem of affairs. Why? So that we can live a peaceful and quiet life. So, the responsibility of having peace in our society is largely dependent on how much you interceded.   Prayer is the way to connect to God with our spirits and the effective way to stand in the gap for people who you could not have ot...

  1 John 4 : 7  "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God , and knoweth God." 1 John 3:18  "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."    The subject of love has been widely taught, discussed, talked about, spoken of and even expressed both in the positive and negative distorted extremes. However quite a few number have actually paused a bit to understand what LOVE really is, it's content, and how it is really practiced.  The opening scripture of 1 John 3:18 points out that love (just like compassion and mercy,) is in the action, not in words or intents; and 1 Corinthians 13 explains in details the contents of love : it  never gives up, cares more for others than for self.  Love is not jealous, it does not brag, d oesn’t force itself on others, i sn’t always “me first,”  and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not r...

  1 Jn 4: 1 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world".   Whenever the subject of testing spirits for false prophecy arises, the mind automatically goes to spiritual leaders. However, it goes beyond the religious confines to include all aspects of our entire life : friends, business partners/associates, colleagues, life partners, social circles, theories, philosophies, internet advises etc...the list goes on. Why? because it said that many false prophets have gone into the WORLD (key word : 'world', not 'into only churches'). It means that they are everywhere and in every area in the world; and when 1 John 1:4 said 'false prophets' it was referring to the spirit of false prophecy itself because it started by saying : test all spirits . So, don't be eager to jump on everything that anyone says, but critically examine and listen sensitively...

  Ps 37 : 11  " But the meek shall inherit the earth ; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace ".  Isaiah 1:19 "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land ":  Mat 11: 29 ...for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls".  Meekness is lowliness of heart; which is also called humility. Psalms 37:11 said the meek shall inherit the earth and have abundance of peace, Jesus also reinforces the peace aspect when he said that you will find rest if you took on his meek and lowly character. This means that meekness give you access anything to ever wanted in the earth: the meek shall inherit the earth.  Also, Isaiah 1: 19 explains the attribute you need to have to eat the good of the land : being willing and obedient. It said if ye be willing and obedient ye shall eat the good of the land; which is much similar to inheriting the earth. So in essence, meekness means being wil...

  James 3:16  "For where envying and strife  is , there  is  confusion and every evil work."    At one point or the other in life, there is this need for you to make your voice heard and your opinion taken into consideration. That is quite fine; however, taking it to extreme, especially when it involves insisting on yours against another's opinion or voice, is where contention comes in.  This insistence on a view point when the other person won't back down either, brings about strife, and James 3:16 says that wherever this exists, there is confusion and every evil work. Now, this is so true of the world we live in, because you notice that whenever you have an argument with someone over a matter, you feel disoriented, annoyed or any other negative emotion you can relate with, especially when the motive is to win without considering whether the self-esteem of the other person is being trampled on. That is usually not a good sight as...
