Worshipping God with Giving and Thanksgiving: Understanding True Wealth in Christ

In today's world, the message of giving in exchange for blessings has become prevalent, with many being taught that monetary giving will secure divine favor and wealth. However, the message of Christ reveals a different truth. It is not the act of giving money that makes one rich in God. Instead, it is the Word of God living in us and the declarations we make in worship that bring about transformation in our lives. The Power to Get Wealth: Rooted in Christ The question of what it means to possess the "power to get wealth" is addressed clearly in the scriptures. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us, *"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."* While many focus on material wealth, the essence of this verse speaks of a deeper kind of wealth that is tied to God's covenant with His people. This wealth is more than money or possessions;...

Understanding God as One Person and One Spirit: A Biblical Perspective

  The concept of God’s nature has been a topic of much debate throughout Christian history. Some teachings suggest that God is three persons in one (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), while others view God as one Spirit manifested in three forms.  However, when we examine the Scriptures closely, we see a consistent portrayal of God as O ne Spirit and One Person , having a distinct Son , Jesus Christ, who is in union with  His Spirit , the Holy Spirit , who is not a separate person from God, but the very Spirit of God Himself.  This blog will explore this understanding, based on biblical references, that God is not three persons but one, revealed through His Son, Christ Jesus, and His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. 1. God is One Spirit and One Person The Bible teaches that God is one, both in Spirit and in person. The idea that God is three persons is not found in the Scriptures, but rather, the consistent biblical teaching is that God is one. Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear, O Israel: ...

The Heart of Service in Christ: More than Just Acts

In today’s Christian world, service is often associated with participation in various church activities—whether it’s joining a ministry, leading a small group, or volunteering. While these acts of service are important, they are not the ultimate goal of our Christian walk. Jesus makes it clear that not all acts done in His name reflect a heart that truly seeks to serve God. In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus offers a sobering reminder: "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" This passage reveals the critical difference between the outward acts of service and the inward posture of the heart. Christ is not only interested in what we do but why we do it. ...

Sowing and Reaping: The Power of Giving from the Heart

In the Christian faith, the principles of sowing and reaping, giving and receiving, are closely tied to how we interact with the world and each other. Often, people associate the act of giving with the promise of receiving something in return—whether it be financial blessings, favor, or material goods. However, this mindset misses the true spiritual depth of what it means to give. The True Spirit of Giving Scripture is clear: "He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully" (2 Corinthians 9:6, KJV). At first glance, this verse might be interpreted as a guarantee of personal gain. But if we look deeper, it becomes evident that the blessing we reap is not about personal accumulation but the impact we have on others.  When we give generously, it is not just about receiving more for ourselves. It's about making a difference, spreading love, and enabling others to experience the goodness of God. As believers, ou...

The Love Story of Eternity: Embraced by Grace

In the vast expanse of the universe, there exists a love story that transcends time and space. It is not the kind of love found in fairy tales or romance novels, but a love so deep, so powerful, that it rewrites the very meaning of love itself. This is the story of God’s love for us through Christ—a love that calls us, redeems us, and never lets go. The Beginning: Love Written in Creation Before the dawn of time, there was love. God, in His infinite wisdom and goodness, created the world not out of necessity but out of love. Every star, every ocean wave, every leaf dancing in the breeze whispers the echo of His affection. He crafted humanity in His image, setting us apart with the capacity to love and be loved by Him. But as with any story, there was a conflict. Humanity, in our pursuit of independence, turned away from this divine love, choosing our own path over the Creator's. Yet, even in our rebellion, God’s heart was not hardened. His love remained unwavering, though the relat...
