But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Lawlessness and sin have an attractive power to them. No wonder Eve was so easily persuaded to taste that which was forbidden. No wonder we so quickly lose the rob of love and put on the […]
Matthew 5:10 NKJV “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” To eagerly desire righteousness is a blessing but there is a cost attached to it: persecution. Our Lord and Master Jesus did not paint a vague picture of ‘being a good person’ or ‘doing the right […]
1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring [a]us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,” Underground churches are common in countries where persecution is rife. Where do these believers get their boldness from? Why […]
Luke 12:12 Do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.

Jeremiah 20:13 NKJV: “Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For He has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.” Each one of us has a favourite food. But not everyone in our friends’ circles likes the same food as us. Yet, we go to great lengths to passionately convince them […]
2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 (NKJV) – “since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels” Being children of the living God, we live our life according to God’s word, but we are bound to […]
1 John 3:1 – “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!… The world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” Behold, ponder, think about how much love God the Father has given us for believing in His son, which instantly […]
Romans 8:39 – “… nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height […]
Romans 8:28 – “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” And how do we ‘”know” that all things work together for our good? We feel “peace”. The peace that transcends all human understanding. Even when we are going […]
