Discovering Truth - Verse of the Day

Title: Free Indeed "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered Him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." ( John 8:31-36, ESV) What does it mean to be free indeed? For many people, getting to the freedom is one very hard step. But it isn't hard. They themselves make it hard. Jesus wants us to be free, but your faith is what matters. The man of God has his half to do, and you have your half. You can show your faith by your efforts and only that. But, don't get me wrong, God's freedom is SOOOO unique, beautiful and peaceful, a...

Title: Who is Your Priority? Scripture: " But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. " - Matthew 6:33 ESV  Did you know that the kingdom of God is Jesus? Very surprising, but true! I found this out in my study/prayer time.  'Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.'  Matthew 3:2  At this point, Jesus must have been close to the destination where John was. John was talking about two things: the Kingdom of God and His power, and Jesus. You see what I mean? Jesus is the Kingdom of God.  We say that we are Christians. But a large group of us are not who we say we are. Because the word Christian means of Christ. And to be of Christ, you must make Him your priority. But many don't! They stay double minded and still go revelling at parties and going to nightclubs! Woe unto you, do not remain double-minded! Watch out for your fall is nigh! A Christian's priority shoul...

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6 NASB https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/100/PRO.22.6.nasb   Many people try to obey this verse, but do not succeed in doing it. What I mean is, they don't care about their child's behaviour or attitude but only telling them off and giving them 'advice'. When your child is frequently misbehaving, maybe yiu haven't guided them in the way they should go. 

"You who brag and boast about the law dishonour God by breaking it" - Romans 2:23  Most of you would be thinking, but God tells us to obey His law? You are absolutely correct, but my point is to make known that Jesus and his commandment, that is the law. Why? Let us see what He said:  "' Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.'" -  Matthew 5:17 NIV   Jesus has fulfilled the law and gave us a commandment: To Love One Another (John 13:34-35).  But what is love?  One thing should be clear, and remain very clear. YOU CANNOT LOVE WITHOUT GOD'S SPIRIT. The love the world claims to give is touch and go and does not last long. But love with God's Spirit, and you're in high skies. But love isn't just being kind and friendly, no, it is about obeying God and sustaining with Him until the end. True love is when you sacrifice things for others so that they...

"Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey -- whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?" - Romans 6:16  Please note that we are not God's slaves. We are His servants, but the version of this Bible describes it as slaves  When we obey God, it is a huge and very important thing to do. God tells us in His Word that obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22) . Obedience to God is important in our daily lives. In other terms, we should obey first, so that we do not need to be forgiven by Jesus. If God asked you to go to America where there are shootings, would you go? I would, rather than face the consequences. And, God would never let us be harmed, so no bullet will hit you! But God has to test you first and the Devil does to! To see if your trust is really in Him (God)and if you would obey Him no matter what happens. We can l...

" So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed because I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right Hand" - Isaiah 41:10  GOD IS SPEAKING HERE! How do we know if God is with us? Good question again! Remember, God's Word is His Will. Click here to learn more about this. And God's promises we can rely on, forever! " And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires." - 1 Peter 2:4   So if God promises us that He'll protect us, it is true! No matter what's going on around you just say: God protects me! His promises are inside His Word, which is the truth. SEE John 6:33-36. Anymore questions?   But we all fear sometimes. How can we not fear?  Brilliant question. God's Spirit gives us power, courage and faith in God. So, when...

"Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your Law." - Psalm 119:18 The psalmist is talking about God's Law. Which is His will. Some people do not understand, and this is mainly because of their type of mindset. What they think, what they say. " Nothing that enters somebody from the outside can defile someone; but the things that come out of a them , that is what defile s them" - Mark 7:15. As Christian, we represent God in His manner and our mission is to lead others to the Saviour. What we do and think and say, all have to be a part of God's Will. God may want someone to be an evangelist, but not to jump into it immediately. We should remember Who is in control. Jesus.  When the psalmist says "open my eyes", what does that mean? Jesus answers this question with the teachers of the law in John 9: 39-41: 'Jesus said,   “I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that the blind   could see and so that th...
