As children, many of us would have learned about the amazing transformation of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly. The ability of the caterpillar is limited. They can only crawl and not fly. Caterpillar are stubby, fleshy and some are hairy. Your life can be like a caterpillar today. But the Lord God who created us, can transform our life and make us be a blessing to so many people around us. All we must do is submit our self in God’s hands . To become a butterfly, the caterpillar must fall apart completely, decompose down to its very essence, and literally dies. In the same way for us to go to the next level, there are certain things in us that should die, in other words our flesh must die. The Bible tells us in Galatians 5:16 “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Some of the things that are needed to be put to death are mentioned in the Bible. Colossians 3: 5-10 says “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly natur

Saul  was a Jewish man born in the city of Cilicia, Tarsus and was taught according to the perfect manner of law at the feet of Gamaliel. Gamaliel is a Pharisee who had good reputation among the people and he is the doctor of the law. On his way to Damascus Saul had an encounter with the Jesus and he received his sight back and Holy Spirit and was baptized too. He was with disciples for certain days and straightway he started to preach in the synagogues.  Saul started to preach   the Jews that Jesus is the son of God. That means h

We all want to follow someone or something. But why should you follow Jesus. Because He says: …Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. Jesus - John 8:12 (NIV) He’s the light to the world. If you believe in Him, you will be free from your sins He cares for you He loves you with an everlasting love.  If you abide in His word (The Bible), He calls you His own. He says in John 16:20 “Your grief will turn into Joy” If you want to find out more, please read The Gospel of John in the Bible. Do you know The Story of the Beautiful Teacup?

Just imagine this world without light: no sun, moon, stars or any lamps, candles or torchlight. We know that we cannot do anything that is productive, good or right when it is dark, nor do we like to live in the darkness. We can see the physical darkness with our human eyes and there is a spiritual darkness too. Lighting a lamp or candle will get rid of the darkness. But have you ever thought how to get rid of the spiritual darkness? The answer for this is JESUS . Around 4 B.C there lived a man named JESUS: ·        He was fully God and fully man. ·        He was with God from the beginning (before the creation/foundation of the world). ·        All things were made through him. ·        He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God) and born of a virgin. ·        He is the one and only begotten SON OF GOD. He lived on this earth for about 33 and a half years. When He walked on this earth, He spoke these words, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in dark

Jeremiah 31:3 Says “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore, with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”  LOVE - Almost everyone uses this four-letter word in their everyday life. Everyone around us are looking for someone who will truly love them and care for them. Like children seeking the love of their parents, elderly parents seeking the love of their kids, wife seeking the love of her husband and vice versa and this list goes on. Sometimes when there is no one who loves us we become upset, depressed and hopeless; there are many who even go through depression, dejection and disappointment because of this.  But there is one person who loves you so much and cares for you no matter who you are and how messed up your life is. The Bible says in Isaiah 49:1” See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me” .  Well you may think who is the One who inscribed me in the palm of His hands, its none other than God. You are very prec

Jesus was with God from the beginning and everything that was created, was through him. The one who Created the heavens and the earth, the one who has authority over all the things, the one who formed you in your mother’s womb, the one who knows you by your name said these words “ Come to me.” Think about where you are going to when you need help, when you face hardships in your lives, who are you looking to, when the situation around you goes wrong who are you looking to.
