Text : John 16:33  These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."*    In John chapter 16, our Lord Jesus Christ talked to his disciples  about the  persecution  that is about to confront them, his departure back to the Father, the arrival of the Holy Spirit, and how they shall be able to ask anything from the Father  in his potent name.  As he rounded up his discourse, He told the disciples that the reason for telling them all these is for them to know where to locate their Peace and that He has already overcome the world. He made it very clear to his disciples that the only place to find peace is in Him.  ".... *in Me* you may have peace. *In the world* you will have tribulation..." (John 16:33). It is therefore clear from the scriptures that this world has no peace to offer a true child of God.  Even the peace it offers unbeliev...

Text : Luke 15:31  “His father told him, ‘My child, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.   Another character that is rarely reviewed in this all-revealing story of the prodigal son is the elder brother. The elder brother who had been very diligent at home, came back from the field to meet a feast thrown in honour of his prodigal brother. He was totally disappointed in his father who lavished his love on an undeserving son.  The older son became angry and wouldn’t go into the house. So his father came out and began to plead with him. Luke 15:28. He said to his father, ‘Listen! All these years I’ve worked like a slave for you. I’ve never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you’ve never given me so much as a young goat for a festival so I could celebrate with my friends. Luke 15:29. Like the elder brother, we sometimes  murmur and complain when we see good things happen to backsliding Christians who managed to trace their steps back to the Lord. The car...

Text : 1 Peter 3:10-11   " He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. To love life and see good days you must turn from evil and do good. It is not enough to turn away from evil, you must also do good. You must be doing the two concurrently, that is, departing from evil, and doing good.  One fateful day, David and his men had just returned from the land of the Philistines, all to find that the enemy had invaded Ziklag (his base) and burned it with fire. They took captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way. (1 Samuel 30:1). David inquired of the Lord if he should pursue, overtake and recover all that the enemy had carried away. The Lord answered him: ""Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all." While Davi...

Text : *1 Peter 3:10-11*   "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. Today, we shall begin to consider God's demands for those who truly love life, and who love to see good days.  *Life* in our study text is not referring to life which is the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing. Life here is actually referring to the higher life which is  God's kind of life (Zoe). So, if you love God's life which is full of vitality and wholeness, and if you love to see good days then you must: 1.refrain your tongue from evil,  2.refrain your lips from speaking deceit.(hypocrisy). 3.turn away from evil and do good; and  4.seek peace and pursue it. The above are the four cardinal points to life and good days.  Firstly, God would have lovers of life and lovers of good days to refrain from speaking ev...

Text : Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Life has a way of shaking even the strongest foundations. Unexpected storms arise, fear, uncertainty, or pain—and we often find ourselves grasping for stability. But Psalm 46:1 offers a powerful truth: our stability is not found in our circumstances, but in our God. The Psalmist did not say God will provide us a place of refuge, he says, God is our refuge. How very comforting this is.  When the psalmist calls God our refuge, he paints the picture of a safe shelter—a fortress where we can run and find protection. In the ancient world, cities had fortified walls and strongholds where people could flee for safety during battle.  Likewise, God invites us to take refuge in Him when life feels overwhelming. He doesn’t merely offer peace from afar; He is the place of peace. The verse continues—He is also our strength. When our own strength runs dry, His power sustains us. He doesn’t just give us a po...

TEXT: Luke 5:13. “And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I will; be clean.’ And immediately the leprosy left him.” In Luke 5, we meet a man overwhelmed not just by disease, but by isolation. Leprosy in biblical times wasn’t just a health condition—it was a life sentence of exclusion. Lepers were untouchable, shunned from society, and left to suffer alone. But then comes Jesus. When the leper approached Jesus, he didn't demand healing—he simply says, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” That’s faith. He believed Jesus can heal, and he thrust himself to His mercy. Jesus in His response did something shocking: He touched him. Jesus could have healed with a word (which He  often did), but here, He chooses *touch* —a deliberate, compassionate gesture that spoke louder than words.  In that moment, Jesus defies cultural norms and religious barriers to affirm the man's dignity, worth, and belovedness. He said, “I will; be clean.” This is the heart of Jesus. ...
