We must keep our eyes on Jesus Christ - 05 Jul 2025

We must keep our eyes on Jesus Christ - 05 Jul 2025

Reference: Heb 12:2  


Let us come together in prayer, trusting in God’s love and power to work in our lives.  


1. He is the ultimate example of faith and endurance – Heb 12:2-3 – fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross.  

2. We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses – Is 40:31 – those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, will soar on wings like eagles, will run and not grow weary, will walk and not faint.  

3. Until He shows His mercy – Ps 123:2 – as the eyes of servants look to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of maids to the hands of their mistresses, so our eyes look to the Lord our God until He has mercy on us.  

We are watching, waiting, holding our breath, longing for Your word of mercy, God!  


Ruth – Boaz – Favour  

Elijah – Elisha – Focus  

Daniel – Den – Determined  

Joseph – Trials – Persuaded  

Jeremiah – Potter’s House – Learned to be in the Master’s hand  

Ezekiel – Valley of Dry Bones – New army built  

Noah – Ark – Built and survived from eternal genocide

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
