Isaiah 12:4 (NKJV): ‘And in that day you will say: “Praise the Lord, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, make mention that His name is exalted.’ The world we live in is fallen. As a result of sin, human life is characterised by pain and troubles. None of us likes to […]
2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) – “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” There are many instances in life where we’ve hoped for a second chance. A second chance to clean up mistakes. It may have been a school […]
2 Corinthians 4:14 (NKJV) – “Knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you” Like Paul, the apostle, we have all been in situations where we felt we were at the end of the rope. Where we were just unable to deal […]
2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV) – “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” A photography light reflector bounces existing light and re-directs it back onto the subject. In short, a reflector does […]
1 John 1:9 (NKJV) – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” First John was written to dispel doubts – and build assurance – by presenting a clear picture of Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 3:12 (NKJV) – “And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you,” Paul desires to see the Thessalonian church increase in love for fellow believers and everyone else. The term he uses here is derived from the Greek root word ‘perisseuo’, which implies […]
1 Thessalonians 4:7-8 (NKJV) –“For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore, he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.” The call to holiness is easy to ignore in a world that teaches standards contradictory to the Word of God. Such was […]
Psalm 69:30 (NKJV) – “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” There comes a time in our lives when we find ourselves in a sea of trouble. The loss of a job, a broken home, sickness in the body, financial challenges. It could even be persecution […]
Philippians 1:6 – “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (NKJV) Paul had confidence in the Lord that what He had started in the Philippians, He would also continue and complete. That is not to say that […]
Psalm 37:24 – “Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.” (KJV) When issues arise in the world that affect us, and are out of our control, anxiety tends to take over. We begin to imagine all sorts of things even before they can happen. […]
