Rivers Shall Flow Jn 7:37-39 describe what the Holy Spirit does in Christians when we believe on Jesus Christ. Jn 7:38 says, “… out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water”. If the Holy Spirit is not in you, then you are not a Christian. And that’s why no rivers of living water […]
What The Disciples Lacked, Lk 9:37-56

Wandering Out Of The Way, Prov 21:16
Prov 21:16 says, “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” This is one of the most ignored verses in the Bible. It speaks of a specific right way (the way of understanding) in which God’s people are supposed to walk. It speaks of an […]

Ye Cannot Serve The Lord, Jos 24:14-25
As Christians, we are constantly being challenged to love the Lord with all our heart [Deut 6:5]. God doesn’t want any competitors. “He is an holy God; he is a jealous God,” [Jos 24:19]. He is the only master that we are to serve [Matt 6:24]. When Jesus was tempted to worship the devil in […]

Plain and Right Two characteristics of the words of God are that they are plain and right. But often you hear people comment that they aren’t plain and right.
