1 Cor. 1:9 says God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Our God is a faithful God – He called us into the fellowship of His Son – He called us and placed us in the vine, Christ as the embodiment of God! Here […]
Apart from Christ we are and we can do nothing! We just need to abide in Him
I was enjoying John 15:4-5 this morning, which says, Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in […]
God is glorified in the church, where His wisdom is made known to His enemy!
God’s original intention in creating man is expressed in Genesis 1:26 “Let Us make man in our image and according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over…” – Image and Dominion.

After the blowing as the North Wind, God the Spirit covers us and broods over us
Our normal experience of Christ always starts with a “stormy wind” – as Ezekiel 1:1 says. God as the Spirit blows upon us to wake us up, to move us to repent of our sins, to turn to God, to believe in the Lord Jesus, to give up the world and anything else to follow […]
Eating, drinking, and breathing Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ
Our Christian life, just like our physical life, is being maintained / sustained by our continual supply – we need to daily eat, drink, and breathe in Christ. Christ is our real food, Christ is our real drink (John 6:55; John 6:30-35); He is the manna, He as the Spirit is the living water (John […]
we are now in the process of becoming like Him
God became a man in the Lord Jesus Christ for the purpose of making us also the same as He is! His hearts’ desire is to have man as His counterpart (Rev. 19:7), His expression, the same as He is. That’s why He “bothered” / “took the pain” of becoming a man: the infinite God […]
