Many a time we dismissed things/events as coincidental instead of thanking God for answering our prayer. This is the experience of many christians. However, as you walk with Him, God impressed upon us certain events and they become our landmarks which serve to remind us clearly of God's provision and protection. We can say for certainty that He is the one that answer the prayer because the situation/events are beyond hope and without divine intervention, it is just impossible. Once again we have renewed confidence that He is one we can trust and also one that will take care of us. Our God is eager to demonstrate His power in our lives. Sometimes, He allows us to go through struggles and challenges so that we will learn to turn to Him and experience Him as the one who leads and guides us.

The Bible tells us clearly that there is really no excuse for not knowing God (Romans 1:20). Just simply look at the creation - it declares God! Through everything God made, men can clearly see His invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature. (adapted from ODJ) Below are some Bible Verses that talk about God's creation:- In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers , the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; Psalm 8:3 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Psalm 19:1 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33:6 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Jeremiah 27:5 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:...

We all suffer for one reason or another. Sometimes, suffering can be self-inflicted or sometimes one may suffer from the hands of others due to differing viewpoints. Believers need to determine why they must suffer. One may suffer because of his position or disposition. Because of conscience toward God, one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. Suffering is often a 2 sided coin. It may be viewed, on one side, uses by God to bring out the best in us, but on the other side, Satan may use it to bring out the worst of us. It seems like a battle. There are different ways a believer may react to suffering, below are some possible responses. 1. Despise it, treat it too lightly. 2. Faint under it, that is, treat it too seriously 3. To be exercised by it, that is, receive instruction from it. This is the reaction desired by God. A simple prayer a believer can do: Lord, I am committing my pain and suffering to you, realizing & believing He is faithful to work out all things for our g...

Yesterday we read a passage from the Book of Matthew about Jesus healing the paralytic. As the paralytic is not able to come to Jesus on his own, his friends made tremendous effort to bring him before Jesus. "What is the deepest desire of the paralytic?" I believed his deepest desire is to be able to walk again. But Jesus did not heal him immediately. Instead Jesus said to him "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you." Jesus knew the actual condition of this man. Many a time, we are just like the paralytic. We are not able to walk before God because we have sinned against Him or perhaps our past sins were hounding us. Sins have a crippling effect. However, through the encouragement of fellow Christians, we are brought before Jesus again, and when we hear Jesus telling us : "Be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you", it is liberating and immediately we are able to rise up and walk before Him again. Below is an extract of the story: Mat...

We love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). In 1 John 4:8, John says, “God is love.” God’s love is patient, full of hope and endures through every circumstance. It is easy to love someone who is lovable but it can be very challenging when you show love to someone who is trying your patience. However, when we hang in there with people who try our patience, we are mirroring the heart of God. Loving others when it is hard is a response to the affection that God shows us. The truth that “if we love each other, God lives in us” is a major encouragement. When we stay put with difficult people who are ready to press our buttons, we demonstrate the living out of God's love in us. It is God’s enduring love that leads to peace and satisfaction.

Let the little cell do the talking: Consider one amazing piece of evidence about me: the human cell. In Darwin’s day, I am considered to be simply a blob of protoplasm. Today you know me better. Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy of Sciences says, “The entire cell, i.e. me can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking assembly lines, each of which is composed of a set of large protein machines.” We, the many cells are complex mechanisms. On the surface, there are sensors, gates, pumps, and identification markers. Inside, we are filled with microscopic power plants, workshops, and recycling units. Microscopic “monorails” carry materials within cells. Am I amazing? This is because of the great designer who made me, a small little cell. It is estimated that a human being has about 8 trillions cells. “You (God) made all the delicate, inner parts of my body". (Psalm 139:13). Extracted from ODJ - Our daily journey with God.
