We are all angels. We are here on earth to prove our worthiness of God’s kingdom: He does not just want another rebel – devil in the kingdom. Force yourself to obey His word – the divine rule – here on earth while you are still under the influence of this flesh which is controlling you to want the things of this earth simply because it was made of earthly materials. Angels –the heaven’s inhabitants - have been in existence for the time immemorial before the earth was formed. God didn’t have the intention of creating us a mankind – the lesser being than angels; something caused it. He only wanted to create angels and that’s all. But something pushed Him to have man created. And that thing is the devil’s revolt against God’s will and word in heaven. The earth was created shortly after that display of devil’s stupidity in heaven. And ever since the creation of the earth, God has stopped creating us as direct angels to be in heaven, instead He creates us as mankind to be on earth. ...

Ravi Zacharias of www.rzim.org I am writing this from a cancer hospital in Texas. Two months ago I was startled after back surgery to learn I had sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, for which I am currently undergoing treatment. I have had a healthy life blessed by God, so this came as a shock. I have always believed in the power of the message of Easter, but I believe it even more so now. It is the ultimate message of hope beyond all hopes; in fact, it is the ultimate grounding of hope.   I’ve been lying in my bed thinking how much the physical world reflects spiritual truths. Cancer is literally one rogue cell that begins to replicate itself, bringing death closer each day and overtaking a genuine, life-giving cell. It’s amazing how this reflects the story of the fall in Genesis, when the Enemy of our souls caused Adam and Eve to question God: “Has God really spoken?” Instead of choosing the life-giving breath of God, they allowed the rogue cell of disobedience ...

Shortly after He had risen, Jesus Christ met a group of women who at the time were not sure, not even now that the leader had been killed, of so many things that would take place along their newly found path which was introduced to them by a young man who didn’t only come from a poor family, but also from a poor tribe which as far as priesthood was concerned, the unthinkable, but who showed them through manifestation of power and authority over anything and situation that the path was indeed the path of life they’ve been waiting for. He was dead. There was a grave silence. The darkness that seemed to have gone appeared thicker. Now what? Will our fate also be as of those followers of Theudas or Judas of Galilee too? (Acts 5:36-37), or What? The faithful followers were silently asking themselves. Some were even thinking that they had gone too far following him. Fear was everywhere. Nobody dare talk so loudly of these things. All the Apostles were hidden somewhere only known to t...

As Christians, we are not allowed to live a life below greatness, even in our simplicity and normal lifestyle. All about us should hold people ransom to the kingdom of God. And that's why I have taken our time to look into the life of our "Lord Jesus Christ who lived a kind of lifestyle that the world considers to be exceptional, but which is normal to us who are of the kingdom of the Father of Light." In this series, we have been looking into those little little things that gathered together to make our Lord Jesus Christ great. Read Part 1 or Part 2 of the series. In this Part, we will yet look at another simple step that leads to Jesus Christ's greatness. Our Bible verse for this part is in the book of Philippians 2:5-11 that says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servan...

As we look into the very important steps that made our Lord Jesus Christ the greatest on earth and much more in heaven, here is yet another simple step into His greatness before or after this. Our Bible verse for this step is in the book of Hebrews 12:2 that says, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." This verse is one of the most memorised verses of scripture among the believers, particularly that phrase "the author and finisher of our faith". If you asked 100 believers to quote this verse offhand, hardly could you see 20 that could do so without leaving out the rest of the verse. Yet the verse holds one of the major keys into the treasure of heaven. The verse alone contains three sentences that separately express the manifestation or outcome of three steps of action in relation to completion of one ...

As Christians who wants to become as great as Jesus Christ on earth and in heavens, just as our Father in heaven desires, Romans 8:29, and which shows that it is very possible to become like Him, we cannot be so by categoring mainly on His backgrounds as reason for His greatness in any sense. If it is for His backgrounds that God says we should focus and listen to Him for us to be great, then we cannot be like Him in any way, because our mothers were not virgin before and after they gave birth to us. They were probably virgins before they knew our fathers, but never after they came across our fathers - the connection that preceded our conceptions. And for that, every other thing has no value in itself as for us to become like Jesus Christ in comparison to backgrounds. Read the introduction to this series Therefore, when God instructs us to focus on Jesus Christ, He is telling us to pay attention to what Jesus did and how He did it. It is in that we have our road map to h...

Sometimes ago, on one of my evangelical outings, a friend and I came across a group of young handsome looking guys in their workshop. From their looks one could tell that they didn't want us around, but one who seemed to be the owner of the workshop welcomed us as most people often welcome street evangelists. He made us feel comfortable within the little space of the shop. Being allowed by the head, some of the other guys stayed, while the rest just found a way to excuse themselves. We prayed together without any of the guys closed their eyes and their boss busy pressing the cell phone in his hand. After the prayer, my partner started preaching about the sin of humanity and the love of God through Jesus Christ. None of them really shown a sense of interest and their boss was just busy pressing his phone without lifting his head. Awhile later, my partner stopped and I asked me if I had something to say to which I answered yes. I opened my Bible and about to talk, when the bo...
