This morning I was enjoying the portion in Philippians 2:9-11, 9. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10. That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11. And every […]
God is willing to do many things, but He waits for our cooperation, our prayer
There are some very encouraging verses in the Bible like “all things that you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and you will have them”(Mark 11:24) and “… that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you” (John 15:16). These and many other verses (John 14:13, 15:7, 16:24) show […]
the surpassing greatness of His power towards us who believe
This morning I was enjoying again this portion from Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:18-22, which says 18. The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19. And what is the surpassing […]

we were seated with Christ in the heavenlies – we can live a heavenly life on earth!
This morning I enjoyed being reminded what our position is in our salvation – when we were saved, we not only received the divine life into us, but we also were raised together with Christ (Col. 3:1-2) and seated with Him in the heavenlies (Eph. 2:5-6)! Actually, even “when we were dead in offenses, God made […]
our work is actually our living, and we live to magnify Christ!
These days, whenever someone speaks about working for the Lord, everyone thinks of a great work, something he does in a special way in a special time set apart for this, etc. The phrase “working for the Lord” has been so spoiled from what the Bible says about it. Paul says in Phil. 1:22, But […]
being vital takes time; we need the endurance of hope that we may go on daily
Even though Paul was in prison, he still labored and struggled for all the believers whom he brought to the Lord or shepherded while he visited their respective city. In Col. 2:1 he says For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those in Laodicea, even all […]
