Two important things come to the mind of many Christians on the subject of the Holy Spirit. They are the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit.

Let Go And Let God is a statement often linked to the Keswick Theology of the Deeper Christian Life movement in the late 19th century. Over time, it has become a renowned saying with different implications. You will see some concerned personalities tell you why Let Go And Let God is a bad idea and would even proffer an alternative such as Trust God And Get Going. From my observation, the issue seems to be in the mind of the people making the statement instead of the statement itself. Therefore, in this message, we will look at what it means…

Firstly, I understand that not all Christians observe the Easter celebration due to the allusion of paganic backgrounds to it. But do you observe Easter? Before Easter 2023, I made a publication about the occasion, the historical background, and its significance today, and I observed that some Christians thought of it as a sin that one should avoid. However, the common knowledge among people who observe Easter is that it is to remember the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that confession and what they do on that day should suffice. In this message, we will look at…

I have lived most of my life believing that Hallelujah is our heavenly language until I decided to look into the meaning of Hallelujah in the Bible. Are you curious? I went through Pentatonix Hallelujah Lyrics to discover how they turned Hallelujah into a Christmas Carol and got it ranking alongside songs like O Come, Let Us Adore Him in 2016. I did not know that it was a cover of the song by Leonard Cohen, and honestly, it did not help me see how heavenly the word was. However, two questions came to mind: What does Hallelujah mean? And…

I have been thinking about it for a while, and all I can say is that there was a case. In that case, I was guilty, but God saved me through Christ and gave me His Holy Spirit as a signet of my freedom in…

Recently, we have been looking at some topics surrounding the Holy Spirit, and the need to delve into the subject of the Holy Spirit is pertinent. A question that stands out is this: who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? I know someone may be surprised that I just personified the subject. Oh yeah, but that should not be a problem for you. I think the main problem is with understanding what and who the Holy Spirit is in line with scripture, not what we think about the subject. So, I was wondering how to approach this…

It has been quite a long time since we last communicated on this platform. I have been going through life in my little corner like many people are and have been going, but I know that My Redeemer Lives. A lot has been going on around the world. We hear about good things, bad news, and even ugly ones. Look at the news, watch the movies, and consider the world we live in today; how long can we survive the pain within and without? Who shall deliver us? Then, I thought about my Redeemer and your Redeemer. Oh, perhaps I…
