Easter Message

The Joyful Triumph of Easter Sunday

As the sun rises on Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the eternal promise that springs forth from the empty tomb. In Luke 24:4-6, the words of the angels resound with breath-taking clarity and hope:

 "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen."  


These profound verses capture the essence of Easter—a day that transforms despair into joy, doubt into faith, and death into life. It is a reminder that the resurrection of Christ is not merely an event from the past; it is a living truth that reverberates through our lives today.  

Imagine the women at the tomb, approaching with heavy hearts and uncertain footsteps. They came seeking closure, but instead, they encountered a glorious revelation that would change the course of history. Their sorrow was met with hope, their confusion replaced by understanding, and their mourning turned into celebration.  

So often in our own lives, we may find ourselves carrying burdens, searching for answers in places that cannot offer true life. Easter invites us to lift our eyes and embrace the risen Christ, the source of eternal hope and joy.  

Encouragement to us  
Easter is a message for us. If we feel weighed down by challenges or uncertainties, remember that the resurrection is proof that God’s power is greater than any obstacle. Just as the tomb could not hold Christ, nothing can separate us from His love and promises.  Hallelujah!

Let us take heart and find encouragement in these truths: 
- New beginnings are possible: Whatever may feel like an ending in your life, God can bring renewal and transformation.  
- Hope prevails: Even in the darkest moments, His light shines and leads the way.  
- We are not alone: The risen Christ walks with us, bringing peace and strength.  

As we celebrate Easter, may this day reignite our faith and fill our heart with joy. Let us boldly proclaim the victory of Christ and live as people transformed by His resurrection.  

Shalom,
In His Grip...

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
