This message confirmed God's promise that he will be with us in 2026.

This is God's promise as we stepped into 2026. We were not very sure how to begin this year.

Emotions in life are based on different reasons. There should definitely be a reason for great joy.

It was not easy for Joseph and Mary. Everything became painful after they were engaged. Being misunderstood, people talking behind their backs, mockery, shame, and many such painful emotions.

We must have all the three happen at the same time - Right Time, Right Place, Right People

Every person living on earth must have a futurist perspective as they go about their daily lives. Their choices and decisions must be made with eternity in mind.

Shame is part of a fallen human nature. Therefore, to stand for Jesus in this fallen and sinful world will cause shame. A follower of Jesus Christ is encouraged to overcome shame with boldness so that they may be His follower and witness.

God looks for something in you so that he can call you to fulfill his plan.

Just one encounter alone is not enough. We need many encounters with Jesus to experience and understand him more and more.

There is an unseen battle. The field is the mind.

Give thanks to God in all circumstances. This is God's will.

God seals your promotion! Like in the story of Daniel, no scheme of man, no den of lions, and no decree of kings can stop what heaven has ordained. If God has planned your promotion, no devil can stop it. But there is a price we have to pay, because the enemy does not want you to succeed. But the price we pay paves the way for God's glory and secures our destiny. Stand firm, for your promotion is not temporary—it is eternal, sealed by the hand of the Almighty.

Every morning is fresh and powerful. But the day you meet with Jesus for real will be the beginning of the best days of your life. For Peter, it was during the early hours of that morning when he was returning after fishing in the sea, but caught nothing. There on the seashore stood someone he least expected. It was Jesus. This encounter on this early morning transformed Peter forever.

Sin has become an unseen family member for most people. Some sins stick to a person like a brother and will never leave them. Why is it that some sins become an integral part of a person? The pleasure a person derives from a particular activity or lifestyle drives them to engage in it again and again. 

The responsibility of taking care of this earth is in the hands of God's people. They are the city's watchmen. "When God's People" is about what God's people must be sincerely involved in and must not be involved in.

This is the last of the series, Sin, Sinner, and Savior. This is the Seventh Part. I believe that when you are done with this, you will be challenged to live a holy life unto God.

Our life on earth is just temporary. Everyone born will die one day. Jesus had come initially to pay the price for our sins and to show us the way to heaven. He is now in Heaven. He promised to come back. When Jesus comes back, he will take all those who trust in Him to be with Him forever. We call that Heaven. All those who died before he comes back, but had put their faith in Jesus as the only Lord God and Savior of their life, will go to Heaven. But those who are alive when he comes again will be transformed and will go with Him.  The Second Coming of Jesus can happen anytime. 

Most people pray out of necessity. And the words that are used in their prayer are more or less repetitive.  There is no life in their prayers. The prayers are filled with personal requests. It will have materialistic needs or wants, as well as many requests for blessings.I believe a sincere prayer will be effective, and God will answer when it is prayed intentionally.  The intention is that it be heard by God, not for one's emotional satisfaction.  The purpose is to intercede for others. 

There are thousands of things around us that can pull us down, make us worry, and make us anxious. We become tired and frustrated. But there are millions of things around us that can brighten up our lives. But our worries nullify those wonderful things. God wants to brighten up our lives.

Sin made man naked. First reaction after sinning was covering up one's nakedness. Now sin has become part of life that nakedness is no longer an issue, but rather an asset to be seductively revealed.  

The life of every follower of Jesus Christ must reveal the nature of Jesus. That is the identity of a Christian.

Sometimes we begin to feel that certain things can never be possible. For example, an addiction, or deliverance from certain curses, or a victorious Christian life, all seem like an impossibility.  Even a breakthrough in your studies, job, or marriage can seem impossible. I promise you that there is a possibility in the midst of our impossibility. 

This is the sixth part in the series Sin, Sinner & Savior. When man began to indulge in sin, and that sin began to hurt God to an extent that God could not tolerate sin, God abandoned man to get drowned in sin and reap its consequences while alive on earth. 

This is the fifth part in the series Sin, Sinner, and Savior. Man sinned and became a sinner. God saved and became a Savior.

This is the fourth part in the series of Sin, Sinner & Savior. God created a world full of love, joy, and peace. God's heart is broken when he has to see how man turned it into a type of hell. God cannot tolerate sin. But God loves us.

This is the third part in the series of Sin, Sinner & Savior.  Man invited sin to be part of their life. Sin made man a sinner. 

This is the second part in the series of Sin, Sinner & Savior. Satan is the deceiver. He is the father of lies. His only purpose is to separate man from God. He deceived man into sinning. Initially, he thought he succeeded, but Jesus destroyed the powers of Satan and delivered man from the power of sin and Satan.

This is the first part in the series of Sin, Sinner & Savior. God did not create sin. Sin was not part of God's creation. God's creation was perfect and purposeful. It was a complete creation. But the disobedience of man brought in sin. Sin gave birth to all kinds of evil and imperfection.
