The Endurance Test

Finding Strength in Trials Ps. TE Khorombi Life throws curveballs. Sometimes, those curveballs feel less like gentle nudges and more like a direct hit. But what if I told you that even in the midst of these challenges, there's a hidden strength waiting to be discovered? The verse from James 1:3 (NASB): "The testing of your faith produces endurance." This isn't a feel-good statement; it's a profound truth about the human spirit and our relationship with faith. This verse doesn't shy away from the reality of hardship. It acknowledges that faith will be tested. Think about the times you've faced difficulties: job loss, relationship struggles, health concerns, or simply the daily pressure of life's demands. These are the "testings" James speaks of. But here's the crucial point: these tests aren't designed to break us. Rather, they're opportunities for growth. The process of navigating these trials, of leaning on our faith d...

The Gift of Reverence

  How Fearing the Lord Leads Us Closer to Him Psalm 95:7: "The fear of the Lord leads to reverence and obedience. Let's heed His voice and follow His ways." The concept of fearing God can be easily misunderstood. In this context, to fear God is not to be afraid of Him, but to have a deep respect and awe for His power, majesty, and holiness. It is a recognition of His infinite wisdom and love, and our complete dependence on Him. Proverbs 1:7 says: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Having reverence for God grounds us in humility and reminds us to seek His wisdom in all things. Through this reverence, we cultivate obedience. When we truly understand and respect God's power and love, we naturally want to follow His commandments. Deuteronomy 10:12-13 instructs us: "“What does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, always walking in obedience to him, lo...

How great is your blindness

How great the Blindness Luke 6:41-42 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (42) Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. One day a brother looked at his sibling and realized that he had a mote in his eye, he then tried to help his brother by removing the mote. He did not realize that he had a stick in his eye as well. I learned from the story that the brother loved his brother and he felt compassion, he immediately identified himself with his brothers’ problem. But the bigger problem was this, either he knew his vision was also impaired or he did...

All things are new

ALL THINGS ARE NEW One day I woke up and realized that I was the same person as I went to bed. But not all of us who go to sleep wake up, not all who wake up are in good health or state of mind. But what about our situations, problems are they still the same? Here is the bigger picture, when I repented God promised and fulfilled my recreation as a new creature, with All things renewed. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. My faith is what helps me to understand this is to start walking by faith and not by what I see . 2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) When I became a new creature the laws of life or of man apply no more, only that of Christ in me. Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. The other problem is that i do not know how to renew old self to the ne...
