Deal with the roots…
By Sidharth Mohandas For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12) This is a familiar verse to most of us; however, very few have learned to apply it in day-to-day lives. We are so [...]
Anchored
By Sidharth Mohandas Lack of peace is seen all around, even Christians spend a lot of time being anxious and worrying. There are those who’d give anything to receive peace. If we were asked to speak about God’s peace we’d have a lot to speak about it, but when it comes to practical living many [...]
Our Umpire
By Sidharth Mohandas And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… [Colossians 3:15] I had been meditating on this verse for a while. As I was studying the Greek meanings of the words used here I came to realize that the Greek word used for “rule” in the above verse, that is brabeuo, [...]
Consider Jesus …
By Sidharth Mohandas Last night as I lay down on my bed the Holy Spirit brought this verse to my mind… “Consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession…” [Hebrews 3:1]. With this verse in mind He took me to what happened at Massah and Meribah in Exodus 17. And verse 7 tells [...]
Let’s talk about the authority of the believer…
By Jonathan Shieh When I first became a believer, I didn’t know anything about the authority of the believer. What I did know is that Jesus asked us to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mk 16:15). Jesus then continued to tell us to cast out demons and heal [...]
How do you see God?
By Sidharth Mohandas I have read the book of Job a number of times and have always wondered why God allowed Satan to bring so much suffering on blameless Job. The Lord brought the following verse to my attention: The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away [Job 1:21] Though this verse has been [...]
Fear of the Lord
By Sidharth Mohandas So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied. [Acts 9:31] If there’s anything the Church lacks today, it is the fear of the Lord. In our day this [...]
It’s all about You!
Originally posted by HongKong Phooey By Sidharth Mohandas Most people see just arrogance and haughtiness as pride, but they fail to realize that there’s another side to pride and that is low-esteem and self-consciousness. Some of us are so focused on ourselves that all we think is what others may think about us or what [...]
Put away leaven!
By Sidharth Mohandas In the Old Covenant, God gave them specific instructions concerning the grain offering. One such instruction was that no leaven or honey was to be used in the offering [Leviticus 2:11]. I thought to myself, Doesn’t leaven help the dough rise and isn’t the honey sweet? What does God mean by having [...]
Pray without ceasing…
Courtesy to Jupiterimages.com By Sidharth Mohandas “Pray without ceasing.” [1 Thessalonians 5:17] Many people have felt condemned because they have had the notion that this means they had to be praying 24 hours around the clock. But this is not what Paul was telling those at Thessalonica. There are a number of Greek words used [...]
