Cultivate a Hunger for Righteousness
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6) There are many things people pursue in life.

Cultivate the Word of God
But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. (Matthew 13:23) Every believer desires to be fruitful, but fruitfulness does not happen accidentally. In the parable of the sower, […]
Fight the Good Fight of Faith Until the End
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called (1 Timothy 6:12). The Christian life is not passive; it is a life of faith that must be consciously exercised and maintained. Scripture calls it a good fight because the victory has already been secured in Christ, yet faith […]
Your Salvation Matters the Most
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12) One of the things you should consider most precious is your salvation. In these last days, you should guard your salvation like never […]
Your Conviction and Salvation

The Fruitfulness of yielding
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. (John 12:24) One of the greatest principles in God’s Kingdom is the principle of yielding. The Lord Jesus taught that a seed must first be planted […]
Connected to a Greater Vision
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Proverbs 29:18) God never created you to live without purpose. Every believer has been called into something greater than personal comfort and temporary achievements. Vision gives direction to life. It enables a person to endure challenges, overcome difficulties, […]
Cross Your Jordan with Confidence
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. (2 Kings 2:14) After Elijah was taken into heaven by the chariot of fire, […]
Intentional Spiritual Growth
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18) Spiritual growth does not happen automatically.

Nobody accidentally becomes spiritually mature. Growth happens when we consistently choose […]
