This is a good reminder about the ministry of angels because a lot of times we are prone to forget that they are present with us always. The question would be, how do we optimise the use of our angels? how do we put them to work and make their ministry beneficial to us? I think this is where prayers and our confession of the word of God comes in. What do you think?

The concept of christian giving has become somewhat an issue in the church because of some individuals who see it as a way to enrich themselves. That should not discourage our freewill giving. However, the under-rated subject in giving is alms-giving which includes looking out for and giving to a brother or sister in need. Many of us see giving as a means to get from God, but what about viewing it as a means to share God’s love and blessings with others such that each time they thank God for your gift, God is proud of you as the reason for the thanksgiving coming to Him.

I can’t hear this enough. I have to keep reminding myself that the most important thing God wants from me is me. While he desires us to show our faith by our works but he wants us first. Jesus told Martha that Mary had chosen the best part to sit at his feet. The work becomes easier when we work WITH God and not FOR Him.

Faith is the divine address. Its encouraging to know that when we live in faith then no matter the challenges, we’ll end up with the victory.

lovely message! Really important in our time where a lot of godly virtues have been sacrificed for fickle success. We are meant to be a light in this crooked world and stand out as uncompromising believers attracting people to the Gospel through our love and also godly character. Paul says that we are like open book read by all men.2Cor.3:1-3

[Ukemeobong Michael]

This is an important one for me because sometimes one can get so busy at work and when you come home,you meet the children or family who also want your attention. It reminds me that God wants my undivided attention too. Sometimes family prayer is not enough, we also need a private undisturbed prayer time where we can pour our minds out and also hear from God personally.I think this was the source of Jesus’ success in ministry.

Musing on this scripture, one could tend to think that our Lord Jesus is implying that we must all repent and get back to our first love. But thats not exactly what it means, otherwise, we all would remain as baby Christians. God expects us to grow and burn in our love for Him at increasing levels. Thats why Paul talked about forgetting the past and pressing for the mark.However, whenever a believer can adjudge that his passion today has dwindled beyond that of yesterday, then its time to refire. I believe He is saying,”Don’t get burnt out doing the work than actually burning in the spirit for me”.

An inspiring piece. You know just thinking of that scripture you quoted,in John 1 stirs up something within me. It reminds me of a lot of innovation we’ve made even in this ministry that we didn’t set out thinking we would. You are a true example of this. The word of God is life in us and that life brings civilization/enlightenment/creativity/innovation. Christians are not dummies at all. King David said in Psalms 119 that he had more understanding than his teachers because of God’s law that renews his mind.Thanks for sgaring this Pst Phil.

Its wonderful to know that no matter how difficult it seems, God always provides for every need. He doesn’t require money to sustain us.All we need is trust him.

[Ukemeobong Michael]

I love to think about this. Even in our daily prayers and worship this is manifested. A lot of times I feel quite busy for whatever reasons even to pray but then I stop and spend time in prayers and its as though my body with all its worries and stress is suspended in God’s presence and nothing else seems to matter anymore. The weight is lifted and I feel relieved like a newborn. I think this is part of the reason we collapse because all the weight is taken off and we suddenly see the magnificence of the weight of God’s glory.

[Ukemeobong Michael]

Very true when you think of it. How is it that we don’t think it foolish to speak to a software on our phones and it does what we say but we find it weird to speak to angels because they are invisible to our physical eyes. I agree that we need to practice it till we get used to it.

In terms of judging angels, this refers to the angels as seen in Genesis 6:1-7 who left the duties and mingled with men and those who rebelled with Lucifer which we call demons. We will judge them. I hope I have answered your question?

So sad to hear about your mom and all she went through. I think she fought gallantly. I can’t begin to imagine what it feels like for you and your family though I’ve experienced this before. But Vidya, be comforted that she is now at peace. When we’ve done all we can, we just stand and let the purpose of God manifest in us and we know that all things work together for good to us who love God and are called according to his purpose. We pray for God’s comfort to guard your heart in these difficult moments. Take heart.
