“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think” – Ephesians 3 :20 God is good – extremely good. By the way, it is impossible to exaggerate or overestimate his goodness. You can immerse yourself in the volume of his goodness, trying to find any limit, any border, up to when it is finished, but you will find yourself always flabbergasted and
“Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee King, to do judgment and justice.” – 1. Kings 10 :9 The great Queen of Sheba, powerful and rich, decided one day to leave the comfort of her kingdom to begin a long journey to the centre of Jerusalem. The reason
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” – Romans 15 :13 How I love this verse. This verse is full of life, hope, and provides a real catalyst for our faith. First of all, I consider it very interesting to see “that abound in hope” is a direct fruit of
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11 :28 Only Jesus can say such a phrase written down in the Gospel of Matthew with such gentleness and authority. “Come unto me”: I consider this invitation of Christ as magnificent and exciting. In his presence, there is silence, peace and no more worry. We need to approach Jesus in
“Wisdom hath built her house…. she saith to him: Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled; Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding!” – Proverbs 9 :1-6 The Gospel of Jesus Christ contains two sides, or two sides of the same coin; the “go” and the “come”, or respectively, the proclamation and invitation of the Gospel. The “go”
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” – 2 Corinthians 3 :17 How I love this verse! First of all, it is interesting to emphasize that the Word declares that the Holy Spirit is Lord. In an unconscious way, we sometimes think that only Jesus Christ or the Father is Lord, however, the apostle Paul says that the Holy Spirit
“When thou saidst, seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.” – Psalms 27 :8 Every human being has four essential questions: Who am I? Why was I born? From what have I been created? What constitutes my being? Where will I go after death? These questions are natural and have led the human being to invent and do everything  whatsoever to try
“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen” – Romans 11 :36 Jesus is everything. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Through Him and to Him are all things. The whole bible talks about Him. His church is for Him. The spouse loves her husband. The sheep follow the sovereign shepherd. Nature reflects the creator and miracles testify to
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” – 1 Peter 1 :18-19 There is a liquid, a liquid of life that flows even today from the veins of Emmanuel, our God. We are talking about
“Before honour is humility” – Proverbs 15 :33 Rivers always flow downwards. In that way, the natural teaches the spiritual, the Holy Spirit is attracted by humility of the heart. The river of the Holy Spirit is foreseen for the little children, who spring into the water heads down, without any pretention. From his highest heaven, God does not look for majestic or imperial horses on earth. He is looking
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” – Acts 1 :8 Before his ascent, Jesus encouraged his disciples for the last time in order to wait for the promise of his father, which means the baptism of the
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth… ” – Romans 10 :4 The complete work of Christ on the cross is the best news for every human being. That day an exchange took place between God and the human being, a divine exchange so glorious that it still has an effect on humanity today. Indeed, by his death, Jesus has conquered death. By
“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore, will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation
The heart is the most important space in our lives. The expression “the heart of this mission or the heart of this situation or the very heart of…” is well known and shows us that the heart is the most important organ of life. This is the reason why we must watch over our heart more than anything else because from it come the sources of life. The point where

Romains 12:2 “Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” When we put our complete trust in God and His Word, we are not swayed by contradictory evidence. We act and move only by what we believe, and what we believe is the Word of God. When circumstances are contrary to the Word, or when common sense is
Isaiah 12:2 “See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.” What a privilege it is having a God who doesn’t sit back and lecture us. Indeed, the Creator God loves us so much that He is continually working behind the scenes to save us from the works of
