Justified With Purpose

In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verse 45, we witness a profound moment when Jesus, feeling power leaving His body, asks the question, "Who touched me?" This simple yet significant inquiry reveals the remarkable nature of our Lord's power and the impact of genuine faith. Let us delve deeper into this extraordinary event and uncover its powerful lessons. In the midst of a large crowd, a woman suffering from a debilitating issue of blood for twelve years discreetly approaches Jesus. She had tried numerous treatments without success, but upon hearing about Jesus, she is filled with hope. Determined, she thinks to herself, "If only I can touch the hem of His garment, I will be healed." With unwavering faith, the woman manoeuvres through the crowd. She never loses sight of her goal and finally reaches out to touch the edge of Jesus' garment. Instantly, her bleeding ceases, and she feels the transformative power of Jesus flow through her. In that moment, Jesus st...

God gave us His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and made us righteous through Him. Our Lord Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit our comforter, helper and teacher. The Holy Spirit teaches us to understand the spirit in us, so that we have His nature. The spirit in us is the righteousness of God.  Understanding the Spirit can be the toughest stage in one's Christian life. Most of us, after receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior and as we start reading the Word of God, we realize that we are meant to live by the Spirit. We try as much as we can to exercise it, but our flesh is a challenge and we find ourselves doing exactly what we don't want to do. The biggest challenge most Christians face is normally the tongue, saying things that we end up regretting. But its normal that we face these challenges for it also happened to our brothers and sisters in the Bible. Apostle Paul said, in Romans 7 vs 15, I do not understand what I do, for I don't do what I would like ...

Many people in this world spend their whole entire lives trying to achieve wealth, so that they can leave an inheritance for their children when they die and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, we need to realise that there is more to leaving a legacy than just material things. Most of us get so consumed by finding ways to make money and will literally do anything we can to achieve that goal, including sacrificing the happiness of the very children that we are struggling for... It's so sad that this has been a generational problem, the same message of leaving an inheritance of wealth is all our forefathers as well as us have focused on. There was never the same amount of emphasis given to leaving a legacy of love, joy and peace for your children to pass on. Teaching your children to live in love, joy and peace, exercising it everyday for their benefit and the people around them. The bible says the following about these 3 amazing fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5 v...

The world is so dark at the moment, so much going on, we can’t even switch on the TV and watch some good news, something to show us that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s all negative and it doesn't seem to be getting any better, but one thing is for sure, even though the world is the way it is, there is a light and a hope, you can find peace within all the chaos. Jesus has said that we will encounter trials and tribulations in this world, but He also said be of good cheer for He has overcome the world (John 16:33), which means He will see us through, victorious, full of joy and peace.  How do you find this peace you may ask? Well, it has all been shown to us in the word of God, the bible. Start by: Understanding who Jesus is, the authority that He has. (Matthew 28:18-20) The role of the Holy Spirit in your life and ask Him to help you understand who you are as a child of God and the authority you have over every situation (Romans 8:14) Understanding the depth of the ...

  Now you are a part of this amazing family of God, what next? Well God definitely wants a relationship with you and sometimes it may feel hard to connect to Him because the world has made our hearts cold, due to disappointment or pain that has caused us to protect our ourselves from any further rejection. Then Jesus comes along and wants to introduce us to this love that is so pure and perfect, we just don't know how to receive it. How do we learn to let go of our past hurts and pain, so that we can connect to the Father's love? Here are a few ways: Trust in Him - trust that He has your best interests at heart no matter what your circumstances looks like, He works all things for the good to those who love Him - R omans 8:28.

Have you ever wondered what it really means to be a Christian? What it means to be a child of God?  Well, being a child of God is to understand who you are and grasping the importance of the sacrifice that Jesus made for you. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 6 vs 18 – “And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, Says the Lord Almighty.” This clearly states that you now have a new Father who desires to have a relationship with you, just like any real father would. So your identity as a Christian is that you are a child of God and it is a sure guarantee!  It’s the same as how you don’t question your identity as a person. You are who you are, your name and surname, and your parents are who they are. There is no doubt in your mind that they are your parents, it’s just the way it is. The same kind of faith is what you need to exercise in acknowledging who you are as a Christian. When you choose to become a Christian all the promises in the bible come in...
