Acts 28:31, NIV
He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance! Acts 28:31, NIV Paul arrived in Rome because the Jews compelled him to appeal to Caesar. There, he continued to testify about what Jesus did in his life, and because they couldn’t find any justifiable reason to keep him in prison, Paul was given the chance to stay in Rome for two years. And there, He proclaimed the Kingdom of God. The difficulties and persecutions that he experienced in Jerusalem didn’t stop Him from teaching people about who Jesus is. With all boldness and without hindrance, Paul chose to glorify God. He…

Acts 9:4-6, NIV
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” Acts 9:4-6, NIV Saul was one of those who persecuted God’s disciples.

John 18:36, NIV
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” John 18: 36, nIV This is what Jesus said to Pilate when He asked Him if He was the King of the Jews. At this moment, Jesus was accused by the High priest, and they wanted Him to be crucified on the cross. But even though our Savior went through this torment, He still knew who He was. Jesus is a King. It just happens that during the moment, His kingdom is not that visible because God intended…

When God Trusts you enough to testify His Goodness Despite your Circumstances
There are events in your life that will lead you to ask so many questions to God. If He healed others, then why can’t I receive my own miracle? If He saved someone from their problems, then why can’t I escape this tragedy I am in? You are left with nothing but questions that will lead you to doubt your faith. All you see are just the obstacles in front of you. Things got worse because you chose to treat yourself as a victim instead of a victor. Yes, you are facing a terrible situation right now, but what if God purposely allowed you to go through that pain because…

Day 457 – Luke 18:17
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. Luke 18:17, NIV You will never experience what it feels like to live in the Kingdom of Heaven if you don’t receive it like a little child. Kids are innocent and pure. Their eyes know how to appreciate the little yet amazing things around them. They take what they experience as it is, and they rarely have doubts and disbelief. You will also learn what true humility is if you try to observe their ways. They are dependent, and they need someone who can guide and lead them. They…

We can never satisfy our Spirit just by relying on our own Efforts and Strengths
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3, NIV Sometimes, when we are at the peak of our success, or when we feel that our life flows so smoothly, we think what we have is more than enough. We tend to rely on our strengths, thinking we can survive on our own. We focus on the riches that we have, and we live as if we are the ruler of our lives. But the sad truth is that life is not perfect. Whether we like it or not, we will go through seasons where we will realize how much we need God. The…

May Everything we do lead to God’s Glory
Our actions are a product of what we have within us. As water reflects a man’s image, so does our mouth reflect what’s in our hearts. That is why we need to be observant of our actions. Let us be careful not to act carelessly, or we might hurt other people in our lives. Careless acts could harm us and those that are innocent. Remember that our actions speak louder than our words. Therefore, we need to be as careful as possible and evaluate ourselves. Our selves could surprise us most of the time. We could get overwhelmed when we discover that there are things that we never thought we…
