Lessons from Josiah

Rediscovering Authentic Worship: The Josiah Imperative Lessons from Josiah: Rediscovering Authentic Worship A Transformative Journey from Tradition to Genuine Spiritual Renewal The Profound Narrative of Spiritual Awakening Josiah ascended the throne of Judah at just eight years old, yet his reign would become one of the most spiritually significant in biblical history. At the age of sixteen, he began to seek the God of his ancestor David, and by twenty, he launched a bold campaign to rid the land of idolatry. He tore down altars to Baal, smashed Asherah poles, and burned the bones of false priests upon their own shrines, an act of both judgment and purification. The defining moment of Josiah’s reign came when the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple. Upon hearing its words, he tore his clothes in anguish, realizing how far Judah had drifted from God’s commandments. Unlike many kings before him,...

Who is a True Child of God?

Who is a Child of God? In a world where many people focus on religious titles and outward appearances, being a child of God is not about having a position in the church or engaging in religious activities. It goes beyond these things and is about having a deep and personal relationship with God. A true child of God is not just someone who preaches, sings in the choir, or holds a leadership role in the church. Rather, it is someone whose heart has been transformed by the fear of God and who follows His ways with sincerity. Many people wear the label of Christianity yet fail to live by God's commandments. They may attend church regularly, give offerings, or be active in religious programs, but these outward actions alone do not define a true child of God. What matters most is a life that reflects genuine obedience, humility, and devotion to God's will. God is not impressed by titles or p...

Breaking Free from Religious Bondage: Seek the True Light

Breaking Free from Religious Bondage: Seek the True Light Breaking Free from Religious Bondage: Seek the True Light Many today believe they are worshipping God, yet they are trapped in religious slavery, because they follow human traditions, false teachings, and leaders who mislead them. Instead of seeking God's truth, they are bound by the opinions of men and doctrines that have no basis in the Bible. Some say, "The church is in the heart," yet their actions show no fear of God. Others replace obedience to God’s laws with emotional Christianity, believing that good intentions are enough while ignoring His commandments. This is the same deception that led Israel astray in the past. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. - 2 Timothy 4:3 (KJV) The ...

Understanding the Observance of Passover for Christians

Should Christians Observe Passover? ✝️ Should We Celebrate the Feasts? Beloved, we gather today to explore a topic that has sparked considerable debate: Should Christians celebrate Passover and other Old Testament feasts? Let us examine both perspectives through the lens of Scripture, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in truth and understanding. 📜 1. The Argument Against Observing the Feasts Many Christians argue that the feasts were a shadow of things to come and have been fulfilled in Christ. They emphasize that Jesus Himself is our Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice has completed what these feasts pointed toward. "For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." - 1 Corinthians 5:7 The feasts served as a foreshadowing, and now that the fulfillment is here, they say, we no longer need to keep them. Instead of an annual celebration, we live daily in the grace of ...

The Second Coming of Christ 📅 The Promise of His Return Beloved, let us gather and reflect on the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ to return.

Let us explore further: "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." - Matthew 24:27 "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." - Acts 1:11 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ." - Titus 2:13 "Revelation 22:...
