By His Alone


Through His Words Alone
Read: Matthew 8 : 1 - 13
"Jesus out His hand and touched him saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed."
"Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour."

By His Will Alone
Most of the times, we prevent a miracle to happen in our lives, not that it doesn't happen anymore, but simply because we have misplaced our faith and trust where it should properly belong.

Being a Good Tree


A few Good Men
Read: Matthew 7 : 13 - 20
"Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
"Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Being a Good Tree
Life is a choice. We can choose to be a good tree or to be a bad tree. Few people choose to be a good tree, for it is hard and full of trials. A good tree needs nourishment, needs trimming and needs grafting ones in a while. But a bad tree grows on its own, though it needs nourishment but it doesn’t requires trimming and grafting, it wants to be left alone on its own accord. He is the master of his soul, the captain of his ship. That's why many people chooses to be a bad tree rather than being a good tree.

Focus on the Essentials


Do not Worry
Read: Matthew 6 : 24 - 34
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?"
"Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?"
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Focus on the Essentials
No matter how many times we are told, we worry most of the time. But if we are careful and read God's word everyday, understand His message and apply it to our lives. God have always been clear with His message. He is faithful, He will provide and He will never forsake us. So why worry?
