IN EVIL, BE LIKE INFANTS

 

“Be Infants in Evil, but Mature in Understanding”

1 Corinthians 14:20 (NKJV)

“Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.”

The Bible teaches us something very important here: we are called to be mature in our thinking, yet childlike when it comes to evil. This raises a crucial question—what does it truly mean to be infants in evil?

When we observe infants, there are many lessons we can learn from them. One of the greatest lessons is innocence. A newborn baby has no guilt and no malice. Infants are not liars, rebels, drunkards, adulterers, murderers, oppressors, criminals, or violent people. Evil does not dwell in them. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized that we, too, must undergo a transformation of character and become like little children.

Matthew 18:3–4 (NKJV)

“Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus is not calling us to childish ignorance, but to humility, purity, and freedom from malice. To be “infants in evil” means to have hearts that do not entertain wickedness, bitterness, or sinful desires.

However, Scripture does not stop there. It also commands us to be mature in understanding. A mature mind is one that has put away old, sinful patterns of life. Just as a child who once played in the mud and desired sweets every day eventually grows up and abandons childish behaviors, so also a believer must abandon former sinful ways.

This spiritual maturity happens when a person receives Jesus Christ. The old life is left behind, and a new life begins.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

In contrast, a person who remains outside of faith and continues in the corruption of the world is described biblically as lacking understanding. Scripture even compares such a person to animals that perish.

Psalm 49:20 (NKJV)

“A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.”

The Bible is very direct on this matter. It teaches that a person who commits adultery lacks understanding:

Proverbs 6:32 (NKJV)

“Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does so destroys his own soul.”

Likewise, one who despises or mocks others is also said to lack wisdom and understanding:

Proverbs 11:12 (NKJV)

“He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor…”

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for us to leave the old ways of sin and turn to Christ, so that we may receive true understanding. Only Jesus Christ has the power to transform a human heart. No other person can accomplish this work in us.

Have you received this Jesus?
Are you certain that if Christ were to come today, you would go with Him?

If you have not yet received Jesus Christ, what are you waiting for? What have a life of sin and worldly pleasures truly given you? If you were to die today, where would you spend eternity?

May the Lord help us.

BE DILIGENT IN READING THE WORD

 

BE DILIGENT IN READING THE WORD

1 Timothy 4:13 (NKJV)

“Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.”

The apostle Paul exhorts Timothy to make reading a priority, alongside exhortation and teaching. This instruction is not limited to pastors alone, but applies to every believer. Scripture consistently presents the Word of God as the primary means by which God shapes, matures, and establishes His people.

Sadly, many Christians do not enjoy reading the Word for themselves. They prefer to be read to. They do not enjoy studying; they prefer only to be taught. They do not enjoy building personal conviction; they prefer others to convince them. In short, many believers desire everything to be pre-chewed and delivered to them by other people.

It is true that God uses human vessels—pastors, teachers, and evangelists—but God does not want His children to depend on people instead of Him. If you rely on others to do all the reading and studying for you, your faith will stand on human personalities rather than on God’s Word. And when the person you depend on grows cold, compromises, or falls away, you will likely fall with them.

Your spiritual stability cannot be stronger than your personal relationship with Scripture.

The Bible calls every believer to be diligent in reading—not geography, mathematics, or politics—but the Word of God.

1. YOU GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT ROOM TO SPEAK TO YOU

When you read the Bible personally and quietly, divine reflections begin to arise in your heart. These are often the gentle promptings of the Holy Spirit, teaching you directly through the Word.

John 14:26 (NKJV)

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

When listening to a preacher, you are receiving what the Holy Spirit has placed in that person. But when you read Scripture yourself, you encounter what the Holy Spirit wants to place inside you. You can pause, reflect, re-read, and meditate—allowing truth to sink deep into your spirit.

Psalm 119:130 (NKJV)

“The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”

Personal Bible reading creates space for revelation, illumination, and transformation.

2. YOU GAIN SPIRITUAL CERTAINTY AND DISCERNMENT

A believer who reads Scripture personally develops confidence about what is true and what is false. You are no longer easily carried away by every new teaching.

Acts 17:11 (NKJV)

“These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.”

Personal study produces spiritual maturity. Without it, believers remain vulnerable to deception.

Ephesians 4:14 (NKJV)

“That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine…”

3. YOUR ABILITY TO CONNECT SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE INCREASES

The more you read, the more you begin to recognize how one verse explains another. You start to see the unity of God’s revelation—from Genesis to Revelation.

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Scripture interprets Scripture. This skill grows through consistent reading and meditation.

4. YOUR DESIRE TO KNOW GOD MORE DEEPLY INCREASES

Every verse you read stirs hunger for more. The Word awakens spiritual appetite.

1 Peter 2:2 (NKJV)

“As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.”

The Bible stops being just a book and becomes your spiritual home. You begin to love God not only for what He gives, but for who He is.

Jeremiah 9:23–24 (NKJV)

“Let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me…”

5. YOU DEVELOP SKILL AND CONFIDENCE IN HANDLING THE BIBLE

Regular reading builds familiarity with the structure of Scripture, key themes, and important passages. This does not mean becoming casual with God’s Word, but becoming skillful in understanding it.

Hebrews 5:13–14 (NKJV)

“But solid food belongs to those who are of full age… who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

Experience with Scripture leads to spiritual sharpness and maturity.

FINAL EXHORTATION

God desires a people who are rooted, grounded, and established in His Word—not dependent on personalities, trends, or emotions.

Joshua 1:8 (NKJV)

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night… for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

May the Lord bless you as you grow in love for His Word.

GIVE THANKS, CALL AND PROCLAIM

 

GIVE THANKS, CALL, AND PROCLAIM

You may be asking yourself, What do these words really mean? Let us begin by reading:

Psalm 105:1 (ESV)
“Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!”

To give thanks to God, to call upon His name, and to make His works known are not optional practices for believers. These are foundational spiritual disciplines that shape a healthy and powerful Christian life.

These three actions form three essential pillars of our walk with God. Let us see this truth affirmed again in Scripture:

Isaiah 12:4 (ESV)
“And you will say in that day: ‘Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.’”

(See also 1 Chronicles 16:8.)

1. GIVE THANKS TO GOD

Giving thanks to God is not merely a suggestion—it is a divine command. Gratitude acknowledges God as the source of life, breath, protection, mercy, grace, and every good thing we enjoy.

Thanksgiving keeps our hearts humble and sensitive to God’s presence. It guards us against pride and cultivates an atmosphere where God’s power and favor are released.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Psalm 107:1 (ESV)
“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!”

Theologically, thanksgiving is an act of worship. It recognizes God’s sovereignty and expresses trust in His goodness, even in difficult seasons.

2. CALL UPON THE NAME OF JESUS

Calling upon the name of God is also a command and a spiritual necessity. In times of danger, temptation, suffering, or spiritual warfare, believers are instructed to call on the Lord.

Scripture shows that even idol worshipers call on the names of their false gods:

1 Kings 18:25 (ESV)
“And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, ‘Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it.’”

How much more should we call upon the true and living God!

The name of Jesus is the only name that saves, delivers, heals, and grants eternal life.

Acts 4:12 (ESV)
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

From the earliest generations of humanity, God’s people have called upon His name:

Genesis 4:26 (ESV)
“At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD.”

(See also Genesis 12:8; 13:4; 21:33; 26:25.)

When God’s people call on His name sincerely, He answers:

Psalm 99:6 (ESV)
“Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who call upon his name. They called to the LORD, and he answered them.”

However, calling on the name of Jesus without true faith and repentance brings danger rather than deliverance, as seen in the story of the sons of Sceva (Acts 19:13–15).

Therefore, calling on the Lord must be accompanied by a sincere commitment to turn away from sin:

2 Timothy 2:19 (ESV)
“But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.’”

Theologically, calling on Jesus’ name is an expression of dependence, submission, and covenant relationship with God.

3. MAKE KNOWN THE WORKS OF GOD

Proclaiming God’s works is the third essential pillar. Every believer is called to testify about what God has done.

The greatest testimony of all is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, because through His resurrection we receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Romans 10:9 (ESV)
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Other testimonies—healing, deliverance, protection, provision, and miracles—exist to confirm this central truth: Jesus is alive and saves.

1 John 5:11 (ESV)
“And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”

Sharing God’s works glorifies Him and strengthens the faith of others.

Revelation 12:11 (ESV)
“And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”

A PERSONAL CALL TO ACTION

Have you received Jesus Christ as your Savior?
Do you practice these three foundations in your daily life?

  • Do you regularly thank God?

  • Do you consistently call upon the name of Jesus?

  • Do you testify about what God has done in your life?

If not, begin today. Through these three practices, strongholds are broken, faith is strengthened, and God is greatly pleased.

Hebrews 13:15 (ESV)
“Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.”

Shalom.
May the Lord bless you abundantly.

GIVE YOUR REGRETS TO GOD

 

Every human being, as long as they are born and live on this earth, carries within them some level of regret.

Some people have very deep regrets; others have lighter ones.

Regret is the sorrow or grief that comes as a result of choices or decisions made in life.

For example, a young person may choose to drop out of school and go to the streets to sell sweets. That is their decision. But later, when they realize they are not seeing meaningful results—and instead see their peers who continued with education making great progress—they begin to feel inner sorrow and self-blame. That feeling is regret.

Another person chooses to live with someone without marriage, eventually has many children, and is later abandoned. As time goes on and age advances, they desire marriage, but it becomes difficult. Regret sets in.

Another wasted many years serving Satan. Now in old age, they grieve deeply, asking themselves where they were during the years of their strength and youth when they should have been serving God.

Regrets are many and varied. Every person, in one way or another, carries some form of regret—no matter where you live or how successful you appear. Somewhere along the journey, a mistake was made.

Regret Itself Is Not Sin

At its core, regret is not sin. It is a God-given human condition—part of how humanity was created.

However, it is very important to understand how to handle regret properly, because when regret is not rightly placed, it can cause great damage in a person’s life.

Two Kinds of Regret in the Bible

In Scripture, we see two people who were deeply grieved by the decisions they made: Peter and Judas.

  • Judas felt sorrow, but his sorrow led him to hang himself.

  • Peter felt sorrow, but his sorrow led him to cry out to God for help, which resulted in transformation.

Peter allowed his regret to be carried by God.
Judas allowed his regret to be carried by Satan.

Yet the regret itself was similar. Judas was not wrong to feel remorse—he even returned the money. But the destination of his sorrow was wrong.

Godly Sorrow vs Worldly Sorrow

The Bible explains this clearly:

2 Corinthians 7:10 (NKJV)
“For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.”

Paul expands further:

2 Corinthians 7:9–11
Godly sorrow leads to repentance, spiritual zeal, a desire for righteousness, and restoration—while worldly sorrow destroys.

👉 Godly regret produces repentance and life.
👉 Satanic or worldly regret produces despair and death.

How Satan Uses Regret

When you begin to think:

  • “I can never rise again”

  • “God has abandoned me”

  • “I am useless”

  • “I don’t deserve forgiveness”

  • “There is no hope for me”

Know this: Satan is behind that kind of regret.

His goal is to:

  • Make you isolate yourself

  • Stop praying

  • Stop attending church

  • Stop seeking God

  • Quit spiritual guidance

  • Sink into depression—or even destroy yourself

John 10:10
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…”

God’s Way of Healing Regret

On the other hand, when you fail, see it as a lesson—a season God allowed so you could learn, grow, and be given another chance. Do not waste that second opportunity.

Many people you see today who are spiritually cold, discouraged, withdrawn, or stagnant—yet once were strong—are carrying unresolved, destructive regret deep inside.

David: An Example of Godly Regret

When David fell into the sin of adultery, he returned sincerely to the Lord. Though the consequences were severe, he did not hide from God like Adam did.

Psalm 51:17
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart—these, O God, You will not despise.”

Godly regret turns our eyes back to God.

Look again to your God. Then take the next step forward. That step often carries greater power and faster results than your first beginning.

Rise Again Like Peter

After his failure, Peter became bold, courageous, and powerful in witnessing Christ—more than all the other apostles.

Acts 4:13
“When they saw the boldness of Peter…”

If you have failed in any area, rise again with strength. Do not collapse like Judas or King Saul, who both ended their lives.

Proverbs 24:16
“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.”

Is There a Shortcut to Reaching Higher Levels of Spiritual Maturity?

Life in the physical world often carries deep spiritual lessons. That is why the Lord Jesus frequently used earthly examples and parables to teach people the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13:34–35).

In society, for someone to be called a professor or an academic doctor, they must spend many years in school, possess extensive knowledge, and gain experience through long-term research. In short, it is impossible to be called a doctor (academically) without undergoing higher education.

However, there is another kind of doctorate known as an honorary doctorate. This is often awarded to a person who has made a significant contribution to society. Such a person may receive the title even without formal academic training.

The Same Principle Applies Spiritually

In the spiritual life, the same concept applies. It is possible for someone to become a teacher, a person of great spiritual maturity, even surpassing their spiritual fathers, pastors, bishops, or elders in understanding and discernment.

How is this possible?

The following Scripture gives us the answer:

Psalm 119:99–100

“I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the elders,
for I keep your precepts.” (ESV)

When you reflect on these verses, you will notice something remarkable:
The speaker is a student, yet he boldly declares that he has more understanding than his teachers. He has not graduated from their oversight—he is still under them—but his spiritual understanding has surpassed theirs. Though young in age, his discernment exceeds that of the elders.

How did this happen?

Was it because he studied more books than others?
Was it because he had a special natural gift?
No.

He explains clearly:

  • “Your testimonies are my meditation”

  • “I keep your precepts”

The True Shortcut to Spiritual Maturity

This is the secret:
Day and night, he meditates on TRUTH—the Word of God—and intentionally practices it in his daily life. He does not only know the Word; he lives it. He avoids sin and aligns his life with God’s commandments.

This is what matures a person spiritually faster than anything else—faster than:

  • Accumulating a lot of information

  • Receiving many revelations

  • Preaching frequently

  • Teaching often

A person may have deep knowledge, be a powerful teacher, or even a highly influential apostle, yet still fall short of a student who sincerely strives to live according to the Word of God.

Jesus Himself emphasized this principle:

Matthew 7:24

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

How God Identifies His True Spiritual Teachers

This is how God recognizes His spiritual instructors:
Not by titles, not by popularity, not by the abundance of revelations—but by the fear of the Lord.

The ability to fear God is greater than all other forms of spiritual achievement. Even if someone lacks other forms of recognition—knowledge, eloquence, or influence—if they truly fear God, they have gone very far spiritually.

This is because the Bible teaches that there is no end to the pursuit of knowledge, but the fear of God surpasses all learning.

Ecclesiastes 12:12–13

“Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.” (NIV)

Final Exhortation

Let us invest all our strength in living the Word of God, not merely knowing it.
May the grace of God help us to walk in obedience.

The Lord bless you.

What Did the Unclean Animals Represent? (Acts 10:9-15).

 

What Did the Unclean Animals Represent? (Acts 10:9-15)

Question: What did the sheet containing the unclean animals, which the Apostle Peter saw descending from heaven in Acts 10:9-15, symbolize?

Answer: Let’s take a closer look.

Acts 10:9-15
“On the following day, as they were traveling and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray around noon.

10 He became very hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.

11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners,

12 containing all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and birds.

13 Then a voice came to him, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’

14 But Peter said, ‘By no means, Lord; I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.’

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’”

In this vision, the unclean animals represented Gentile people, who were originally considered unclean in God’s sight and could not inherit His promises or participate in His service.

Through this vision, God was showing Peter that the Gentiles were no longer unclean and that he should not hesitate to bring them the Gospel.

In short, the unclean animals symbolized unclean people from the Gentiles. But how can we be sure? Let’s look at Acts 10:14-15 and 10:28.

Acts 10:14-15
“But Peter said, ‘By no means, Lord; I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.’
15 Again, a voice spoke to him, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’”

 

Acts 10:28
“He said to them, ‘You know that it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with or visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.’”

Clearly, Peter received a revelation from the Holy Spirit: the unclean animals represented people whom the Jews had considered unclean before God—that is, the Gentiles, including Cornelius and his household.

This shows that in God’s grace, there is no favoritism. No one is excluded, whether Jew or Gentile.

Galatians 3:28
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

It’s also worth noting that the animals themselves were now considered clean. In the New Covenant, there is no longer a prohibition against eating animals that were once forbidden in the Old Covenant. They were only symbolic of people. In short, the animals represented humanity, not literal impurity.

May the Lord help us understand this truth.

For We Know in Part, and We Prophesy in Part.

 

For We Know in Part, and We Prophesy in Part

1 Corinthians 13:9–10

“For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.”

The Bible gives us clear direction for our lives and teaches us how to understand God and the way He works in us. As a child of God, it is important to know what God has enabled you to understand—and what He has not yet chosen to reveal.

Many believers read this passage without reflecting on it deeply. As a result, they live frustrated and troubled lives, assuming that God is silent or that He does not answer prayers.

The Holy Spirit teaches us an important truth: we were not meant to know everything in this present life. You were not created to live on earth with complete knowledge of all things.

Instead, God reveals things to us in part. Think of it like watching a movie trailer. The trailer gives you clues and glimpses, but you do not see the entire story until the movie is fully revealed. In the same way, the full picture will only be known when we cross over to eternity.

This principle applies to every area of life. When you ask God to reveal a matter to you—to show you what is happening, what will happen, or what your future holds—do not expect Him to give you every detail. He will not show you everything step by step: today this, tomorrow that, next year this, next week that. God does not work that way.

He reveals small portions—enough to guide you, but not the entire picture. These pieces form a direction, not a complete map, because we are given knowledge only in part.

If you are a prophet and God shows you something, speak only what has been revealed to you. Do not add your own assumptions, timelines, or interpretations. When you go beyond what God has shown, you risk confusing yourself and misleading others. No matter how anointed you are, you cannot know everything, and you cannot be shown everything.

This is what happened to John the Baptist. He had his own expectations and understanding, and when things did not unfold as he imagined, he began to doubt—even though he himself had testified that Jesus was the Christ.

Consider this example: a prophet sees a vision of a woman carrying a baby boy. Wanting to appear highly prophetic, he adds his own narrative: “The Lord says you will soon give birth to a son. Prepare his clothes, pray for him, and bring a thanksgiving offering.”

Yet God may not have been speaking about physical childbirth at all. He may have been showing that the woman would be blessed to care for orphans or become a spiritual mother—using the image of carrying a child.

The woman then places her hope in having a biological child. Years pass, no child is born, and the prophet is later labeled a false prophet. But the problem was not that God lied—it was that the prophet went beyond the measure of revelation given to him.

If he had simply said, “This is what the Lord has shown me. Beyond this, I do not know. God will reveal the meaning to you in His time,” that would have been sufficient. The woman would have had space to pray, reflect, and later recognize the fulfillment when it came.

The same is true in your own life. When you ask God to confirm something, you will often receive only partial information—a sign, a symbol, or a gentle prompting.

When that happens, do not stress over trying to see the whole picture. Take the step you are able to take, and trust that the Lord will walk with you.

So what should we do?

Live by faith.

God did not create us to live by sight, but by faith.

Everything we do must be done in faith, because we do not yet have full understanding of all things.

Even in evangelism, you cannot wait for God to reveal the name of the street, the person you will meet, what they are wearing, and their name before you go. If you wait for that level of detail, you will wait forever.

Instead, you move by faith—trusting the promise:
“I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
And as you go, God leads you to the person He has prepared among many others.

So remember this: we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

That is why Scripture concludes:

1 Corinthians 13:12

“For now we see through a glass, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.”

Walk by faith. When guidance, prophecy, or direction comes in small portions, that is often your signal to act—not to wait endlessly for more information.

May the Lord bless you.

 Buu/ Mabuu humaanisha nini kwenye biblia?

What Does “Buu/Mabuu” Mean in the Bible?

 

What Does “Buu/Mabuu” Mean in the Bible?

In the Bible, the word “buu” refers to a corpse or a decaying body. Whenever you come across this term, it points to death, decay, or a grave.

For example:

Job 17:14 – “If I have called destruction my father, and the worm my mother, and my sister…”

Here, “buu” refers to the grave. Job is expressing that, in his suffering, death and decay felt closer to him than even his family—his father, mother, and sister. Just as family is closest to a person, Job felt that death was now intimately near him.

Another example is:

Job 25:6 – “How much less a mortal, who is only a maggot—human, who is merely a worm!”

This passage emphasizes that humans, without God, are like corpses—subject to decay and impermanence.

You can also see this word in:

  • Exodus 16:20, 24

  • Deuteronomy 28:39

  • Job 7:5

In some places, the Bible directly refers to decay or worms (Isaiah 66:24).

This is the reality for every person who lives without God. No matter how healthy, wealthy, powerful, or educated someone is, without Jesus Christ, they remain like a corpse—destined to die and face eternal separation from God.

But there is hope! Those who are saved through Jesus, even if they die, will live again. On the day of resurrection, their bodies will be transformed into glorious, immortal bodies, and they will live with Christ forever in heaven.

If you haven’t yet accepted Christ but are ready to today, you can pray this prayer of repentance to receive forgiveness and new life >>> GUIDE TO PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

Understanding the Power of Jesus’ Blood Before the Crucifixion.

 

Understanding the Power of Jesus’ Blood Before the Crucifixion

Shalom! Welcome as we reflect on the Word of God.

It is well-known that Christ shed His blood at Golgotha, when nails pierced His hands and feet and His body endured countless blows. Through that blood, we receive forgiveness of sins and redemption for our souls.

However, the Bible shows that Jesus’ blood did not first begin to flow at the Cross. It began earlier—while He was praying on the Mount of Olives with His disciples.

But how did it flow? Not in the usual way, but through His sweat.

Luke 22:44: “And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.”

The key question is: why did this happen during prayer? Words alone are not always enough to reach the Father; blood speaks louder than words. So, the blood that flowed while Jesus prayed spoke more powerfully than words ever could.

We see a similar example in the story of Abel. After Abel was killed, his blood cried out from the ground. Though he had died, his blood spoke to God and called for justice (see Genesis 4:10). God heard it and brought judgment on Cain, the one who killed him.

In the same way, Jesus’ prayers, accompanied by the blood that flowed on the earth before His crucifixion, spoke powerfully. That is why angels came to strengthen Him afterward. The blood of Jesus speaks even better things than Abel’s blood.

Hebrews 12:24: “…and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.”

When we pray with an understanding of the revelation in Jesus’ blood, our prayers become powerful. When we know and believe that His blood is being poured out for us as we pray, it speaks more effectively than our words.

But if we are outside the faith, that blood cannot speak on our behalf. To activate its power in our lives, we must first believe in Jesus Christ, repent of our sins, and be baptized in water and the Holy Spirit. From that moment onward, the blood begins to speak blessings for us, giving us the power to overcome Satan.

Revelation 12:10-11:
“I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, ‘Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, for the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them before our God day and night.’
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”

May the Lord bless you.

“I AM” – Seven Times

 

“I AM” – Seven Times

The Bible calls us to truly know the Son of God, JESUS CHRIST. To know Him deeply is to experience transformation in our walk, worship, and relationship with God.

Ephesians 4:13says

“Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”

This verse highlights the ultimate goal of the Christian life: growing in knowledge of Christ, not merely in intellectual understanding, but in experiential relationship, which leads to spiritual maturity and Christlikeness.

Today, we explore how JESUS introduced Himself seven times in the Gospel of John as “I AM” – a title with profound theological meaning, echoing God’s self-identification in Exodus 3:14 (“I AM WHO I AM”). Each “I AM” reveals an essential aspect of His divine nature and mission.

1. I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE

John 6:35 (ESV): “

Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.’”

Theological insight: Physical bread sustains temporal life, but JESUS sustains eternal life. By calling Himself the Bread of Life, He signals that true satisfaction for the soul comes only through union with Him. Participation in this Bread is a call to faith, dependence, and communion with Christ. Eucharistic theology later builds on this imagery, understanding Christ as the spiritual sustenance for believers.

2. I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

John 8:12 (ESV):

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”

Theological insight: Light represents truth, purity, guidance, and God’s presence. To follow Jesus is to live under divine illumination, seeing the world from God’s perspective rather than the darkness of sin and ignorance. Theologically, this also prefigures the new creation and sanctification, where believers are called to reflect God’s light (Matthew 5:14–16).

3. I AM THE GATE FOR THE SHEEP

John 10:7 (ESV):

“So Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.’”

Theological insight: In ancient Israel, sheep were vulnerable and required protection. The gate metaphor emphasizes access and security. JESUS is the exclusive way to salvation (cf. John 10:9), providing entrance into God’s kingdom and protection from spiritual danger. Only through Him do we experience true security in God’s care.

4. I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD

John 10:11 (ESV):

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”

Theological insight: This highlights Christ’s sacrificial love and divine providence. Shepherd imagery was central to Israelite understanding of God (Psalm 23). Jesus identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life, prefiguring the atoning work of the cross and showing the personal care of God for each believer.

5. I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

John 11:25 (ESV): “

Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’”

Theological insight: Jesus does not merely give life; He is life itself. His resurrection power transforms death into eternal life for believers. This statement anticipates His own resurrection (John 20) and assures all who trust Him of the hope of eternal life, a foundational tenet of Christian eschatology.

6. I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE

John 14:6 (ESV):

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

Theological insight: Salvation is not found in philosophy, religion, or works, but in a person: Jesus Christ. The “way” affirms access to God, the “truth” affirms God’s revealed reality in Christ, and the “life” affirms eternal communion with God. This verse is central to Christology, emphasizing the uniqueness of Christ as the exclusive mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5).

7. I AM THE TRUE VINE

John 15:1 (ESV):

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.”

Theological insight: Spiritual vitality comes from abiding in Christ. The vine imagery stresses dependence, fruitfulness, and unity with Christ. Without Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). This teaches both sanctification and discipleship: as believers remain in Christ, their lives bear eternal fruit for God’s glory.

Reflection:

Have you welcomed JESUS, the Source of eternal life, into your heart? Or are you still wandering after the ways of the world? Today is the day to change direction. Walk with JESUS, the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, and the Light of the World, and experience the fullness of life He offers.

The Lord bless you.
