The biblical account of Jonah, son of Amittai, is a compelling and somewhat humorous four-chapter narrative. Jonah, a Hebrew prophet who worshipped the one true God, receives an assignment from God: to prophesy against the city of Nineveh. Jonah’s Disobedience and God’s Mercy In Jonah 1:2, God instructs, “Go to the great city of…

Mercy is divine compassion and forgiveness extended to those deserving of punishment. To truly know God, the creator of heaven and earth, is to comprehend the profound meaning of mercy. The Bible consistently illustrates God’s compassion and forgiveness toward humanity, a humanity that, from its earliest days, warranted destruction due to disobedience. Romans 3:23…

John 15:5 states, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” Remaining in Christ guarantees spiritual fruitfulness. This fruitfulness manifests in two ways: the fruit of the Holy Spirit (peace, love, joy) and…

It’s a common misconception that our children are our possessions. However, they are not merely blessings or gifts from God; they are an assignment. Children are distinct individuals, not here to fulfill our ambitions, and we cannot unilaterally plan their futures. They are God’s children, entrusted to us as gifts and, more importantly, as…

Human relationships, a divine gift, began with the union of man and woman in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:20-24). This foundational marriage served three key objectives, which extend to all significant relationships: Marriage: The First Institution Marriage, the first institution established and ordained by God, was designed with these clear objectives: companionship, help,…

While some interpretations, labeled “prosperity gospel,” have rightly been critiqued for positioning Jesus primarily as a means to financial gain rather than salvation, it is crucial to recognize that God’s will includes the prosperity of His children. Worldly vs. Godly…

I heard a person once say that confession is informing God of your sins, while repentance is God revealing your sins to you. I will elaborate on this distinction later in the chapter. Consider yourself as a believer, residing in a house with a large pipe connected to the Kingdom of Heaven. Through this…

The phrase “Life is Spiritual” holds profound meaning. The Scripture points to the existence of three distinct kingdoms: 1. The Kingdom of the World: This is the physical realm we inhabit, visible to our natural eyes. It was created for humanity, granting us dominion and the capacity to interact with it. Our physical bodies…

When humanity defied God, we were cast out of the Garden of Eden, leading to estrangement from our Creator. Genesis 3:8 describes God’s casual walks in the garden during the cool of the day, and He observed Adam closely as he named the animals. In Eden, God shared consistent and intimate communion with humanity.…

In Jeremiah 1:5-10, we observe a profound dialogue between Jeremiah and God. God reveals to Jeremiah that He knew him before his formation in the womb, and had appointed him as a prophet with a specific purpose even before his birth. Jeremiah, however, expresses self-doubt, highlighting his perceived inadequacies and youth as reasons for…
