Have you read Joseph’s story? I encourage you to read Genesis 37-47 if you haven’t. In brief, Joseph was a boy who dreamt of becoming a leader, but what happened next was far from seeing it manifested into his reality. He was soon after sold as a slave to Egypt by his own brothers – flesh and blood. When he became a manager at Potiphar’s house, he was sent to jail for something he didn’t even do. At this point,…

The million-dollar question in our hearts as to whether this expectation we carry and believe that God would fulfill, is truly of divine origins or merely a product of the carnal mind can be a mental tug-of-war. The renewed Christian mind knows that to surrender is the right thing to do and that to sacrifice is the right thing to give. The heart may even fully desire this surrender and sacrifice, but this struggle of full-surrender in itself can swiftly…

Christ dying on the cross is the central tenet of our faith. But God divinely orchestrating the simultaneous crucifixion of two murderers and thieves, both sides of the center cross in itself offers us a powerful imagery of the Gospel truth. Both these men probably had little to no idea who Christ was till they would meet on Calvary’s hill outside of Jerusalem. These 6 hours these men would have with Christ, would go on to determine the rest of…

“And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master. And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go. And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way; send me away that I may…

Many people question their purposes, why they exist, and what they are supposed to do here on this earth. Either they have never thought about it, figured it out, or have lost sight of it. Many therefore follow the patterns laid out by society: going to school, getting a job, getting married, having children and grandchildren, repeating in the same pattern, retiring rich. Is that all there is to life on this earth? Revelations 4:11 (KJV) says, “Thou art worthy,…

For a few years now (if I had to give a number it would be nine), I have actively been asking Jesus to be Lord of my life. This is a frequent prayer, one I assume you have also prayed. The next time you go to church or listen to a worship song, listen closely… You will most likely hear a similar sentence, inviting you (the listener) to make Jesus the Lord of your life. But what does this actually…

That’s the word I got in my heart when I prayed yesterday. So I asked the Holy Spirit, ‘elaborate, get ready for what?’ Then I searched the Bible for this phrase and got the following results: “Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”” – Joshua 3:5 Are we ready to receive the answers to our prayers? Are we ready to receive His promises? Let’s not be caught up in whatever circumstances we are in at…

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.  John 2:1-2 Jesus’ first miracle at the Cana wedding is full of symbolism that when studied in detail can even explain to us Jesus’ entire purpose and ministry on this earth. To begin with, Jewish weddings are a joyous time and tradition filled event with family and friends of the…

When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” – John 2:3 Most, if not all, marriages in India would entail large feasts for large numbers in the few thousands. Millions of rupees is spent by the bride’s family (usually) to feed the large swathe of family and friends. And God forbid that the food become insufficient in one of these marriages. The ripples of which would be felt, remembered and reminded of…
