'Even when I am old and grey,do not forsake me,my God,'til I declare Your praise,to the next generation,Your mighty acts to all who are to come' (Psalms 71:18)....My hair is almost grey and I am older. I prefer calling myself older to old,but I'm certainly not getting younger in years,but I trust I am still young in spirit. God has been good to me. I am 69 years old,going on towards 70 years old and He has never forsaken me. He loves and keeps me in His grace and truth. What a Wonderful...

“So we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw on the way to the mountains of the Amorites, as the Lord our God had commanded us. Then we came to Kadesh Barnea." (Deuteronomy 1:19 NKJV) Every life that must become useful in God's hands and fulfill His purpose, must pass through wildernesses. A wilderness is a vast wasteland where there is neither water nor foods. It is a place that is full of feary serpents and scorpions. God deliberately...

'Since my youth,God,You have taught me and to this day,I declare Your marvellous deeds' (Psalms 71:17)....Even before I publicly confessed Christ Jesus,as Saviour and LORD on 12 April 1965,I was being taught by Him,in Sunday School and Boy Scouts. When I surrendered my life to Him,the Holy Spirit opened the Word of God to me in a wonderful way. It seemed alive and powerful. It always was,but became so for me personally. I delighted and still do,in being a 'student of the Word' and a 'workman...

"I said, “O my God, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations." (Psalms 102:24 NKJV) This is my prayer this morning that the Lord preserve us and grant us long life. The purpose of the long life is to actualize His plans for our lives. Many are cut off in the prime of their years thereby making it impossible for them to fulfill God's purpose. What can make God to take someone away in the midst of their days? The length and the breath of our...

Isaiah 51:3 (NIV - bold is mine): The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. God's healing for His children is as all-encompassing as salvation itself. This healing is for whole remnant of believing Israel, the Church, the believer. This can have a life-long, calming effect on the believer, for...

'I will come and proclaim You,Mighty,Sovereign LORD. I will proclaim Your righteous deeds. Yours alone' (Psalms 71:16)..................There is no other greater in our lives than our 'Mighty" (great and impressively powerful and strong) 'Sovereign' (Supreme Ruling) 'LORD' (The One who is far above all in our lives) He is our Master and God of heaven and earth. We owe everything to Him. He gives us love,acceptance,meaning in life and eternal salvation. Let us always come and proclaim Him...

Wantonly Treacherous Psalms 25:1-3 ESV “To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.” As followers of Jesus Christ, who is our enemy? Satan! And why is he our enemy? Because he is an enemy of God, because he wanted to be God, and because he had Jesus put to death on a cross, and he is out to...

"Happy and blessed are the people who are in such a case; yes, happy (blessed, fortunate, prosperous, to be envied) are the people whose God is the Lord!" (Psalm 144:15 AMPC) The million dollar question is "is the Lord my God, is He the Lord of ALL to me?" How about you, my friend, is He your God? For the Lord to be our God, we must live our lives according to His principles. We must trust Him in everything. Our joy and happiness in life must depend on Him. He must become our everlasting...

Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom. The only Gospel He said He came to teach and fulfill. The only Gospel He claimed as His. He came to announce that soon, if He was successful in doing only the will of the Father, that soon the governance of man which leads to oppression and strife, would be replaced by the governance/Kingdom of the Father, thus freeing the oppressed. He did not come to create a religion but teach a way of life, hence The Way which His first followers were called that adhered to...

"Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds because of your evil deeds. But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence — if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant." Colossians 1:21-23 "If we deliberately go on sinning...

This video illustrates that God does in fact test people. However, why does God test people? This short message traces the repeated theme of testing in the Bible and shows how God determines the loyalty and trust of his covenant partners. Though these tests are rarely easy, they offer God’s people important opportunities for growth and transformation.

Isaiah 48:16 (NIV ~ bold is mine) Come near me and listen to this: "From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there." And now the Sovereign Lord has sent me, with his Spirit. In this chapter, speaking through the mouth of the prophet Isaiah, the Lord reveals to Israel that the time is at-hand for their return from captivity in Babylon. And when the return from exile begins and is finally accomplished, the Eternal One says of Himself, "I am...

"and may our oxen be loaded down with produce. May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares." (Psalms 144:14 NLT) When the youth are fully developed and grown, there is an unprecedent increase in national productivity. Therefore, capacity building should be a top priority for the church and the society. Continuous learning and character development should be the pursuit of every youth. Increase in crime rate has also being...

Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is this man performing many miraculous signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him...". John 11:47-48 (NIV) Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. The Pharisees, fellow Jews who emphasized their belief in the resurrection of the dead, got upset. About what? (1) That a dead man had been raised to life. Imagine the chagrin of the...

'My mouth will tell of Your righteous feeds and of Your saving acts all day long,though I know not how to relate them all' (Psalms 71;15)...................We should use our mouths,not only to eat our food and take our drink,but to 'tell of God's righteous feeds and saving acts'.…......'O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise,the Glories of my God and King,the triumphs of His grace' (Charles Wesley).........Of course,we need to use the native tongue we have initially!...
