Yes, there is a marine creature known in Swahili as Nguva, commonly referred to in English as the sea cow or dugong. This is a real aquatic mammal that lives in warm coastal waters. It feeds on seagrass, gives birth to live young, and can be studied scientifically. You can learn more about it on Wikipedia: Nguva (Sea Cow).
However, this creature is not the same as the mythical “mermaid” — the half-human, half-fish figure often found in legends, stories, and movies. In God’s created order, as revealed in Scripture, no such being exists.
The Myth of the “Mermaid” (Half-Human, Half-Fish)
The idea of a mermaid — a creature with a human upper body and the tail of a fish — comes from myths and folklore, not from divine revelation. These legends can be traced back to ancient cultures in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and are often tied to mystical stories or spiritual encounters. But biblically speaking, these creatures do not exist in the physical world.
Some legends claim that mermaids can speak like humans, live under the sea, or even interact with mankind. But these claims fall into the realm of fables and superstitions, which the Bible warns us to avoid:
2 Timothy 4:3–4 (ESV) For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching… and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
2 Timothy 4:3–4 (ESV)
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching… and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
God’s Word is clear: we are to build our beliefs on truth, not myths or man-made tales.
Were There Any Human-Like Creatures in the Bible?
The only creature in the Bible that temporarily exhibited human-like behavior was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Before being cursed, the serpent could communicate and may have had a different physical form. Genesis records:
Genesis 3:1 (KJV) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said…
Genesis 3:1 (KJV)
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said…
After tempting Eve, the serpent was judged:
Genesis 3:14 (KJV) And the Lord God said unto the serpent… upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Genesis 3:14 (KJV)
And the Lord God said unto the serpent… upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
This transformation marked the end of any animal behaving in a way remotely close to humans. From that point on, no animal or spirit was given the ability to resemble humans in that manner — unless it was a manifestation of the demonic realm.
The Spiritual Danger Behind Mythical Creatures
Many of the so-called mystical beings — such as dragons, mermaids, multi-headed beasts, and gods with many arms — are more than just fiction. In many cultures, they are symbols of false gods or are inspired by demonic powers.
The seven-headed dragon seen in some Asian beliefs is similar in appearance to the dragon described in Revelation 12:3 (KJV):
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns…
But in the Bible, this dragon symbolizes Satan and his rebellion against God.
The many-armed elephant god worshiped in parts of India is a product of idolatry. God strictly forbids the worship or creation of images meant to represent deities:
Exodus 20:3–4 (ESV) You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image…
Exodus 20:3–4 (ESV)
You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image…
The concept of mermaids and other hybrid creatures often features in occult practices, where spirits disguise themselves to gain access into people’s lives.
The apostle Paul warns:
2 Corinthians 11:14–15 (ESV) And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.
2 Corinthians 11:14–15 (ESV)
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.
What may appear beautiful or magical on the outside can actually be a doorway into spiritual deception. Many people are led into false teachings, witchcraft, and demonic experiences through these images and stories — thinking they’re harmless, but in reality, they are stepping into the doctrines of demons.
1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.
1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.
A Call to Truth and Salvation
These are the last days, and deception is increasing. If your foundation is not built on God’s Word, it’s easy to be misled by spiritual counterfeits. Do not be fooled by appearances or traditions. The devil is subtle, but the truth of God is clear.
Have you given your life to Jesus Christ?
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.
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.
No myth, no spirit, no creature can offer salvation or truth — only Jesus can. He died on the cross to save you from sin, and He rose again to give you 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.
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.
Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Surrender your life to Jesus. He is full of mercy and ready to forgive you, no matter your past.
May the Lord bless you and guide you in His truth.

Every day that passes brings us one step closer to the greatest event the world will ever witness—the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be the day when the trumpet of God sounds, calling His saints home. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone will hear it. Only the righteous—those truly in Christ—will hear and respond to the sound of that heavenly call. The wicked and unbelieving will remain oblivious.
Jesus Himself described this moment in John 5:28-29 (NKJV):
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
This moment could happen at any time—morning, evening, or even in the dead of night. If you are a born-again believer walking in holiness, you will hear a joyful, powerful voice, joined with the trumpet of God. The dead in Christ will hear it too. From the graves, they will rise, clothed in incorruption and immortality (1 Corinthians 15:52-53). And you will see them.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52, NKJV
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:52, NKJV
Suddenly, the skies will open, revealing a great multitude of angels coming with the Lord Jesus in glory. At that same moment, believers who are alive will be transformed—our mortal, weak, corruptible bodies will be changed into glorious, eternal bodies, fit for heaven.
Then, we will be caught up (Greek: harpazo, meaning “to snatch away quickly”) to meet the Lord in the air. This is what Scripture calls the Rapture, described beautifully in 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (NKJV):
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
This will be the beginning of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, foretold in Revelation 19:7-9, where Jesus receives His Bride—the Church—for whom He laid down His life.
Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready… Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb! Revelation 19:7, 9
Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready… Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!
Revelation 19:7, 9
THE TIME IS SHORT — THE SIGNS ARE CLEAR
You might think the return of Christ is far off. But Jesus rebuked people in His day for not discerning the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). And today, all the signs He gave are unfolding before our eyes.
Consider:
Plagues and pandemics: Jesus said,
And there will be… pestilences… Luke 21:11
And there will be… pestilences…
Luke 21:11
We saw this vividly with COVID-19.
Increased lawlessness and moral decline:
Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. Matthew 24:12
Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Matthew 24:12
The rebirth of Israel, the “fig tree” budding (see Matthew 24:32-34)—this occurred in 1948 and marks a key prophetic timeline for the last generation.
The global spread of the Gospel:
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:14
These are not random events. They are prophetic mile markers. We are in the last of the last days.
GOD SAVES THE FEW, NOT THE MAJORITY
Many Christians today wrongly assume that because the world is full of sin, God will not bring judgment. But Scripture shows that God has always saved a remnant, not the majority.
Jesus warned us:
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Matthew 24:37, NKJV
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Matthew 24:37, NKJV
In Noah’s time, only eight souls were saved from judgment while the rest of the world perished (2 Peter 2:5). In Lot’s time, only three people escaped Sodom before fire rained down from heaven (Genesis 19:24-26).
Before the flood, Enoch was the only man raptured because he pleased God (Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5). If that pattern holds, only those who truly walk with God will hear the trumpet. Even if it’s a small group, they alone will be caught up. The rest of the world will be confused, shocked, and left behind.
Some will assume people were kidnapped. Others will think they fled or disappeared under strange circumstances. But they won’t realize that these people are now with Christ, enjoying eternal joy in heaven. Those left behind will face the Great Tribulation—a time of suffering and deception under the Antichrist, described in Matthew 24:21-22 and Revelation 13.
ARE YOU READY?
Dear reader, ask yourself honestly: if Jesus returned today, would you be ready? After all the gospel messages you’ve heard and all the signs you’ve seen, what excuse will you offer?
God is loving and full of mercy (Psalm 103:8), but He is also holy and just (Hebrews 12:29). He has made a way of salvation through His Son—but it must be received by faith and with repentance.
THE WAY TO SALVATION
If you are not yet born again, now is your time. Jesus said:
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3, NKJV
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:3, NKJV
Salvation is a free gift, but it must be accepted. You must:
1. Repent — Turn from sin completely (Acts 3:19).
2. Believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world (John 14:6, Romans 10:9–10).
3. Be baptized in water in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38).
4. Live a new life, led by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14).
A PRAYER OF SALVATION
If you’re ready to begin your walk with Jesus, pray this prayer sincerely:
Heavenly Father,
I come before You acknowledging that I am a sinner. I have broken Your laws and lived my own way. I deserve judgment, but I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose again for my salvation.
Today, I repent of all my sins. I turn away from my old life and I surrender to You.
I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead.
Wash me with the blood of Jesus. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Make me a new creation from this day forward.
Thank You for saving me and accepting me as Your child.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17,
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17,
Jesus is coming soon. Be ready.
Who Is a True Friend?
At some point in our lives, we’ve all experienced friendship. Some friends come into our lives because we share similar personalities or interests. Others become close to us through specific situations—school, work, business, or shared spiritual experiences.
Some friendships last through time and distance. Even when circumstances change—whether financially or socially—true friends remain. But others fade quickly, breaking off when life takes a different direction. These are situational friends—seasonal companions.
But regardless of the type of friendship, the question remains:
How can you recognize a true friend
A True Friend Is Willing to Die for You
Imagine you’re in critical condition—both kidneys have failed, and your only chance to survive is to receive a kidney transplant. Suddenly, a friend—someone not even related to you—comes forward and offers both of their kidneys, knowing it will cost them their life. You hesitate, but they insist, and they go through with it. You live; they die.
That’s not just friendship—that’s sacrificial love.
But the reality is, in this world, no one would willingly give their life in that way, especially for someone who doesn’t deserve it.
Yet, someone already has.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13 (NKJV)
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
John 15:13 (NKJV)
That someone is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He didn’t just die for good people or those who loved Him. He died for sinners—His enemies.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NKJV)
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 (NKJV)
Unlike human friendships, which are often conditional, Jesus’ love is unconditional and redemptive. He saw our helpless, sinful state and chose to give His life so we could live eternally. His death on the cross was the ultimate act of love, mercy, and justice—He took our place under the wrath of God.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 (NKJV)
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 (NKJV)
Jesus is not just a true friend—He is the only friend who could save your soul.
The Friend Who Sticks Closer Than a Brother
The Bible acknowledges that not all friendships are equal. Some friends may abandon you in difficult times, but Jesus never will.
A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 (NKJV)
A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 (NKJV)
This “friend who sticks closer than a brother” is Jesus Christ—Emmanuel, “God with us” (Matthew 1:23). He not only walks with us in this life but also secures our eternity with Him in glory.
How Do You Become a Friend of Jesus?
Jesus said:
You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. John 15:14 (NKJV)
You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
John 15:14 (NKJV)
Friendship with Jesus begins with obedience. This is not legalism—it’s relational obedience flowing from love and trust. You must respond to His call:
1. Repent – Turn away from your sins and turn to God.
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out… Acts 3:19 (NKJV)
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out…
Acts 3:19 (NKJV)
2. Believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior – Confess Him with your mouth and believe in your heart.
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
3. Be Baptized by Immersion – As an act of faith and obedience.
Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 (NKJV)
Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38 (NKJV)
4. Receive the Holy Spirit – Who empowers you to live a new life.
Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. Romans 8:9 (NKJV)
Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
Romans 8:9 (NKJV)
When you do this, you enter into a covenant friendship with Christ—not based on religion, but on transformation. You are adopted as a child of God.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. John 1:12 (NKJV)
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
John 1:12 (NKJV)
A Prayer of Sincere Repentance
If you’re ready to become a friend of Jesus and receive eternal life, you can pray this prayer sincerely and from your heart:
I come to You today, fully aware that I am a sinner. I have broken Your commandments, and I deserve Your judgment. But I also believe that You are a merciful and loving God. I believe that You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for my sins, and that He rose from the dead.
Today, I repent of all my sins. I turn away from the life I’ve lived and surrender to You completely. Wash me with the blood of Jesus. Make me a new creation.
I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to live a life that pleases You. From today forward, I belong to You.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for receiving me, forgiving me, and calling me Your friend.
Amen.
Next Steps in Your New Life
Remember, salvation is not the end—it’s the beginning of a beautiful, eternal friendship with the Lord.
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
May the Lord bless you, guide you, and keep you in His grace. Welcome to the family of God!
Blessed be the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In Scripture, Jesus is given three remarkable titles:
Each of these titles holds deep significance and reveals important aspects of who Jesus is, what He came to accomplish, and His place in God’s redemptive plan. Let’s take a closer look at each one.
The title “Son of God” is more than a name; it signifies inheritance—specifically, Jesus inherits all authority, power, and glory from the Father. In biblical times, the title “son” referred to the heir, the one who would take over the father’s estate. Jesus, as the Son of God, is the heir to everything that belongs to the Father. This inheritance includes God’s majesty, His kingdom, His rule, and ultimately, the power to redeem and restore humanity.
Hebrews 1:2-3 tells us: “But in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word.”
Because Jesus is the Son of God, He is the rightful heir to all creation. Everything that belongs to God has been given to Him. This is why, in Matthew 28:18, Jesus boldly declares, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
Jesus is not merely a messenger of God—He is the full revelation of God Himself, the one through whom the entire universe was made and the one who sustains it.
The second title, “Son of David,” connects Jesus to David, Israel’s greatest king, and to the covenant God made with him. God promised David that his descendants would rule forever, and through this promise, He established an everlasting throne for the Messiah, who would come from David’s lineage.
Jesus is the fulfillment of that promise. The Son of David isn’t just a descendant of David; He is the long-awaited King who will reign eternally. Jesus doesn’t just claim the title as a mere heir; He is the ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic promise, the King who will rule with justice and peace over all nations.
In Matthew 1:1-17, the genealogy of Jesus shows that He is the direct descendant of David, confirming that He has the right to sit on David’s throne. But His kingship is not limited to Israel; it is a universal reign that will extend to the entire world, ultimately establishing a new Jerusalem (Revelation 21), the eternal dwelling place of God and His people.
Jesus’ royal heritage isn’t just a connection to the past—it’s a promise for the future. He is the King of Kings, and His kingdom will never end.
The third title, “Son of Adam,” is deeply tied to Jesus’ role as the Redeemer of mankind. Adam, the first human, was given dominion over the earth and entrusted with the responsibility to rule and multiply. However, when Adam sinned, he lost his inheritance—his dominion over the earth—and subjected all of humanity to sin, death, and separation from God.
For humanity to reclaim what was lost, a second Adam was needed—someone who would restore the authority that Adam forfeited. Jesus, as the second Adam, came to redeem that lost inheritance and take back the dominion over the earth that Adam had surrendered.
1 Corinthians 15:45 highlights this: “So it is written, ‘The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.’” Jesus, the last Adam, not only came to fulfill God’s original intention for humanity but also to restore what was lost in the fall. He is the perfect man, fully human, who perfectly obeyed God where Adam failed.
As the Son of Adam, Jesus didn’t just represent humanity—He redeemed humanity, offering the chance for all who believe in Him to be restored to their original purpose: to rule with God in His eternal kingdom. Jesus is the one who reverses the curse of the fall and brings us back into fellowship with God.
In Matthew 11:27, Jesus says, “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”
Through Jesus, we see God’s original plan for humanity restored. As the Son of Adam, Jesus reclaims the dominion and authority that Adam lost, offering new life to all who are in Him.
Jesus is the beginning and the end—the Alpha and the Omega. He is the perfect image of God and the perfect man. As the Son of God, He is the heir of all that belongs to God. As the Son of David, He is the promised King who will reign forever. And as the Son of Adam, He is the Redeemer who restores humanity’s lost inheritance.
Jesus is not just a historical figure; He is the center of all things—the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of the universe. If you have not yet believed in Him, now is the time to come to Him. He is the only way to the Father and the only hope for eternal life.
As Revelation 22:13 reminds us, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
May the Lord bless you as you continue to discover more of who Jesus is and the incredible work He has done for us.

Shalom! Today, we have been granted another new day by the boundless grace of our Lord. I invite you to reflect with me on the great Word of God today, especially as a special day approaches.
Today, we will revisit the book of Genesis, focusing on the paths of two men whose lineages we will later see in the seventh generation: Cain and Seth.
As we know, Cain was the first person to experience God’s curse in his life. He was warned that he would be a restless wanderer on the earth (Genesis 4:12). When we reflect on Cain today, he often appears wild or isolated from society. Yet, if people had lived at that time, many would have been fascinated by Cain, particularly those who measure success by earthly blessings.
The Bible shows us that Cain not only progressed personally but that his descendants were wise, skilled, and inventive (Genesis 4:16–24). In this sense, if we look at blessings from both material and spiritual perspectives, Cain could be considered more materially blessed than Seth.
However, when we turn to Seth, who was born to replace Abel, the picture is different. Immediately after the birth of his son Enosh, Seth began to ponder life deeply:
“Why is life not as it should be? Why does everything feel empty without God, no matter how hard we try? Why is the Lord silent while we go on as if nothing matters?”
Seth began a search for God. He and his descendants learned to pray, fast, live righteously, and offer sacrifices. They called earnestly on the Lord’s name.
“Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time, people began to call on the name of the Lord.” — Genesis 4:26
Unlike Cain and his descendants, Seth’s line did not focus on worldly progress but on the pursuit of God. Their society centered on faith and the fear of God, not merely material accomplishments.
Looking at the seventh generation, Seth’s seventh descendant was Enoch, who walked faithfully with God and was ultimately taken by Him, showing that steadfast pursuit of God is rewarded:
“Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” — Genesis 5:24
In Cain’s lineage, the seventh descendant, Lamech, was far more violent and morally corrupt. He had multiple wives and was known for vengeance. Yet, his line prospered materially and technologically:
“Lamech married two women, Adah and Zillah. Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the lyre and pipe. Zillah also had Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Lamech said to his wives: ‘Listen to me, you wives of Lamech; hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me. If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.’” — Genesis 4:19–24
Dear brothers and sisters, these two lines still exist today. But the Christian lineage begins with the Church of the Apostles in Ephesus and continues to the seventh and final church, Laodicea (Revelation 3).
One day, the righteous in these last generations will be suddenly taken, an event known as the Rapture. The world will experience great tribulation, but believers will be delivered.
The line of Satan focuses on worldly things—education, wealth, prosperity, success. When God’s Word is preached to them, they scoff and mock.
We are living on the threshold of the end times. If you are a Christian, call on the Lord’s name continually while you still can, so that, like Enoch, you may be taken and spared from suffering. If this message has been ignored, now is the time to turn to Christ and repent.
May God bless you.

“For He says, In the acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”— 2 Corinthians 6:2
The Bible tells us that “to everything there is a season” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).That means even a tree has its season to bear fruit — not every time is fruit season. You may water the tree and add fertilizer, but if it is not the right season, it will not bear fruit. Why? Because everything happens in its appointed time.
Likewise, in the Spirit, times and seasons changed the moment our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us. Before that, there was no open door for men to bear the fruit that pleases God. The privilege of knowing God deeply and being filled with His Spirit was limited to a few prophets whom God had chosen by grace.
In the days of Moses, for instance, only certain elders received a portion of God’s Spirit.
Numbers 11:24–29“The Lord took of the Spirit that was upon Moses and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again…Then Moses said to Joshua, ‘Oh, that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!’”
Do you see that? Moses longed for a time when all God’s people would receive the Holy Spirit — not just a few chosen ones.
That time which Moses longed for finally arrived when the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. The prophecy of Joel began to be fulfilled:
Joel 2:28–29“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,your old men shall dream dreams,your young men shall see visions.”
This is the acceptable time — the season of God’s favor — when His Spirit is poured out upon all flesh without distinction.
That is why the Apostle Paul wrote:
2 Corinthians 6:1–2“We then, as workers together with Him, also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain…Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
Beloved, this is the time of grace.The saints and prophets of old longed to see this day — the day we are now living in — but they died without experiencing it.They desired to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, yet it was not their appointed season.
But now, through Christ, that promise has been fulfilled. The same Spirit that came upon Moses is now poured out upon all who believe in Jesus Christ — both great and small.
Let us not take this privilege lightly. You may lose many things in life, but never lose the Holy Spirit, for He is the seal of God upon your life.
Ephesians 4:30“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
Have you received the Holy Spirit?If not, know that He is freely given to all who truly repent and turn to God.
Repentance is not by words only, but by action.If you used to steal, stop stealing and restore what you took.If you used to sell your body, stop immediately and cut off all those contacts.If you practiced immorality, corruption, or any form of sin — abandon it completely and come to Jesus for mercy.
When God sees that your repentance is genuine and active, His Holy Spirit will draw near to you.You will feel a new strength within you — as if you were weary and suddenly renewed from within.
To complete this work of grace, be baptized quickly in the right way — in much water and in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, as written in the Scriptures:
Acts 2:37–39“Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Therefore, dear brother or sister, do not delay.This is the time that kings and prophets desired to see.This is your season — your acceptable time before God.
Receive the Holy Spirit today.Walk in righteousness and be sealed for the day of redemption.

As many of us know, God Himself instituted the very first marriage in the Garden of Eden. This was not just a historical event it was a divine pattern and foundation for every marriage that would follow.
In that sacred union, there was one man (Adam) and one woman (Eve) no more, no less. From this couple, all humanity came into being. This clearly establishes that a holy and complete marriage, in God’s design, is between one man and one woman. This is a central and non-negotiable truth of biblical marriage.
Adam was created first. Before Eve was formed, God gave Adam work to do He placed him in the Garden, gave him authority, and assigned him responsibilities:
“The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.”– Genesis 2:15 (ESV)
Only after Adam had a place, a purpose, and responsibility did God create Eve as a helper suitable for him.
“Then the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.'”– Genesis 2:18 (ESV)
This means: A man should have established responsibilities and a stable life before seeking a wife. He must be in a position to provide, protect, and serve not just emotionally or physically, but also economically and spiritually.
Eve was not given to Adam to satisfy his lust, but to help fulfill God’s mission.Marriage is not primarily about sex as many mistakenly believe today but about mutual help, purpose, and holiness.
Eve was created to help Adam in his calling. Her value was not in wealth or appearance alone, but in her role as a co-worker and spiritual partner. The woman complements what is lacking in the man’s life emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
The Proverbs 31 woman is a biblical picture of a godly wife industrious, wise, respectful, and supportive:
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.”– Proverbs 31:26–27 (ESV)
A woman who neglects her God-given role—by gossiping, exposing her husband’s secrets, showing disrespect, dressing immodestly, or living a worldly lifestyle—brings harm to herself and her home.
“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.”– Proverbs 14:1 (ESV)
A holy marriage must be built on shared faith. Scripture is clear: a believer must not marry an unbeliever.
“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”– 2 Corinthians 6:14 (ESV)
If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him, you should not consider marrying someone who does not share your faith. Marrying an unbeliever can lead to spiritual conflict, compromise, and sorrow.
Also, Christian marriage should be blessed in the church, not just conducted in a civil or traditional way. A wedding without the acknowledgment of Christ’s lordship is incomplete for a believer.
Though Adam did not pay a bride pricebecause Eve had no earthly family today’s cultural norms and biblical wisdom affirm that a bride should be honored by properly presenting a bride price (dowry) if that is the custom of her family.
“Give to everyone what you owe them… if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”– Romans 13:7 (ESV)
Paying the bride price is not about buying a wife it’s about honoring her family and acknowledging the weight and responsibility of marriage. If you are unwilling to give a small dowry, how can you expect to bear the greater responsibilities of married life?
Taking a woman away from her family should not leave a wound it should be done with healing, respect, and joy.
The Apostle Paul gives us a sobering and eternal view of marriage:
“But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.”“This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none…”– 1 Corinthians 7:28–29 (ESV)
Why does Paul say this? Because the time is short, and the Rapture is near.Marriage, while honorable and holy, is still a temporary institution. In heaven, we will not marry:
“For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.”– Matthew 22:30 (ESV)
So, let us remember: our highest priority is not marriage, but the Kingdom of God.
Marriage is not a game, a social expectation, or just a romantic pursuit. It is a sacred covenant, a divine calling, and a spiritual responsibility.
If you do not yet understand these truths, it is better to wait than to enter into marriage unprepared.A rushed or uninformed marriage can lead to regret, division, and even spiritual downfall.
But if you seek God’s will, prepare your life, honor your future spouse and their family, and marry in the Lord your marriage can reflect God’s glory and fulfill His purpose.
“Maranatha!” – Our Lord is coming!
Many people fall into pride by thinking that the body we possess belongs entirely to us. However, if one takes time to meditate deeply on this, it becomes evident that we do not have absolute authority over our bodies. This is proof that our bodies are not truly our own.
If your body were completely yours, you would be able to choose your height, skin color, or gender. You would be able to stop your heart from beating at will, prevent blood from circulating, or avoid sweating when the heat is intense. Since none of these are under our control, it proves that our bodies belong to someone else—ultimately, to God. As the Bible declares:
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;”—1 Corinthians 6:19
Because of this truth, we must live under the authority of the One who owns our bodies. God instructs that our bodies should not be instruments of sin. We obey these commands—not because we are in full control of our bodies, but because they belong to Him. We should not use our bodies for sexual immorality, drunkenness, or other sins. We are merely stewards, tenants, or guests within our own flesh, not owners. We do not have 100% freedom to act as we please.
If God commands that our bodies be clothed decently and honorably, we do not question why; we obey, for they are His.
Learning More About the Owner of Our Bodies
Once, the Pharisees tested Jesus with a question:
“Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?”—Matthew 22:17
Jesus, knowing their evil intent, replied:
“Why are you trying to trap me, you hypocrites?”—Matthew 22:18
When shown a coin, He asked:
“Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”—Matthew 22:20
They answered, “Caesar’s.” Jesus replied:
“So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”—Matthew 22:21
Notice the distinction: Caesar owns the coin because it bears his image. How much more should we give our bodies to God, for they bear His image and likeness!
Returning to the Scriptures in Genesis:
“Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”—Genesis 1:26-27
From this, we see that our bodies belong to God because they carry His image and likeness. Just as Jesus instructed giving to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, we must much more offer our bodies to Christ, for they reflect God’s image.
We should examine ourselves daily: Are we using our bodies as God intends? Are we honoring them through holiness, prayer, fasting, and participation in worship? If not, when the time comes, we will give an account to the owner of our body.
If we use our bodies for sexual immorality, promiscuity, or sin, we must reflect seriously. If we think our bodies are entirely ours, or that we have freedom to expose or exploit them, or to make life-and-death choices at will, we must reconsider.
May the Lord always help us to honor Him with our bodies.
Shalom.

Ephesians 5:15-18
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
At the end of verse 18, the Bible tells us “but be filled with the Spirit.” This is a continuous instruction. Now remember, when Apostle Paul was speaking to the church in Ephesus, he knew very well that they had already received the Holy Spirit since the time they believed, which is why it was called the great church of Ephesus. But that didn’t make Paul think they had “arrived.” Instead, he urged them day after day to be filled with the Spirit because he knew the Spirit can be quenched in a person, and likewise, He can increase or decrease depending on how alert or careless one is in their salvation.
Even we, Christians of these present days — which are far more wicked than the days of the Ephesian church — it is not enough to merely say “I’m saved” or “I received the Holy Spirit,” while our relationship with God remains unclear. That cannot take us to heaven. Rather, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit day after day until the day of the Rapture finds us.
Because if we ignore this matter, we will be like the foolish virgins we read about in Matthew 25 who were waiting for their Lord but didn’t have enough oil to last until the moment of meeting Him. As a result, when the hour came for their Lord to appear, they suddenly realized their lamps were going out… and while they went to buy more, the bridegroom had already arrived and taken those who were ready into the wedding feast. The others who returned found the door shut. Their effort in waiting for the Lord was wasted. Even though they were also virgins — saved people waiting patiently for the Lord — because they neglected the crucial matter of oil in their vessels, they missed the banquet.
Oil is always symbolic of the Holy Spirit. When we first receive the Holy Spirit at the time of salvation, we receive just enough oil to light the lamp for the journey. But if we become content with only that, we won’t get far.
Brethren, to survive this deeply evil generation, we must continually be filled with the Holy Spirit.
You might ask: What should I do to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit can continue to fill us through at least four major practices:
1. Through Prayer
Luke 11:13
“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
If you are a person who prays and resists laziness in prayer — committing at least an hour a day — your spiritual oil will increase, and the Holy Spirit will have greater room to govern your life day by day.
2. Through Diligent Study of the Word of God
The Word is the food for a person’s spiritual life. If you are not diligent in studying the Word of God, in seeking the matters of life, do not assume the Holy Spirit will have room to teach you anything. God dwells in His Word (His voice is His Word).
If you are saved but feel lazy to study the Bible, then know the Spirit of God has already been quenched in you for a long time. And when the Rapture comes, you’ll be among the foolish virgins.
3. By Staying Away from Sin
Sin is always attractive, but its end is destruction. When we tolerate sin in our lives, we hide God’s face from us, and as a result, the Holy Spirit is quenched or departs completely from within us.
Isaiah 59:2
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.”
4. By Sharing the Good News
When you teach others, the Holy Spirit also teaches you. When you open the treasures of the Word of Life to others, the Holy Spirit finds room to reveal more to you and to use you to save His people. Because you are doing His work, He is obligated to keep filling you with His Spirit so you can continue in His service.
Therefore, let us not settle for our current spiritual state, hiding behind the phrase “I am saved.”
We must ask ourselves:
Do we have enough oil to last until the Lord’s return?
If not, then now is the time to trim our lamps — to ensure that every single day, the Holy Spirit has space in our lives. So that on that unknown day which will come suddenly, we can be assured that we won’t miss the Rapture.
Be blessed.

Shalom! May the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be praised. Let us learn the Word of God today.
We are going to look at the story of Abram (Abraham), the father of faith. This story carries a powerful lesson for anyone who offers a sacrifice to God.
Genesis 15:7–12
“I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to inherit.” Abram said, “Lord God, how shall I know that I will inherit it?” The LORD told him, “Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old goat, a three-year-old ram, and a turtledove and a young pigeon.” Abram brought all these, cut them in two, and arranged the halves opposite each other, but did not cut the birds. Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep and a great darkness fell upon Abram.
Abraham obeyed God by preparing a sacrifice exactly as God instructed. He went into the wilderness, arranged everything perfectly, and waited for God to respond.
But nothing happened immediately. He waited from morning… To noon… To evening…
Still nothing. Instead, birds of prey came and began to eat the sacrifice.
Here are the three key things that Abraham did—and we must learn from them:
He had not yet seen God respond. He had not heard any voice. He had no sign.
But he refused to let the birds destroy what he had given to God.
He stayed there, actively protecting his sacrifice.
Likewise, when we give God our sacrifice—our tithes, offerings, service, money, prayer, or time—we must protect it from being “eaten.”
Many believers give their offerings with a sincere heart. But after some time—months, or even a year—with no visible results, they begin saying:
Those thoughts are birds of prey, trying to eat your sacrifice.
If you used to give faithfully, but now because of problems, pressure, money needs, or friends, you stop giving or reduce giving…
Those are birds eating your offering.
Return to the faith of Abraham—protect your sacrifice until the end, even when you see nothing yet.
At evening, when darkness had fallen…
God finally came. He spoke to Abraham. Fire of God passed between the pieces. God established His covenant.
This teaches us:
➡️ God answers at His time — and His time is always perfect.
Look at the example of Cornelius:
“Your prayers and your gifts to the poor have come up before God as a memorial offering.” (Acts 10:4)
Whatever you offer to God in sincerity becomes a memorial before Him.
Man and woman of God: Do not stop. Do not give up. Do not let your sacrifice be eaten.
Stand firm like Abraham, and the fire of God will surely come upon your offering at the appointed time.
God bless you!
