The LORD’s Covenant With Abram

1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision:
“Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your very great reward.”

Why did God say this to Abram (Abraham)? It’s because Abram was terrified and for sure he asked “who will be there for me? Who will be my defense against my adversary?” Therefore, God comforted and reminded him of His faithfulness.
We too must not be sacred of whatever we are experiencing and facing right now. Because it’s all part of our growing process (spiritually). Let’s be positive to know that in our problems and dilemma it is an opportunity to rise into the next level. So be assured that GOD is with you, HE is for you and will be faithful until the end.

Pastor’s Message

Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

King Solomon concludes that a woman who had godly attitude is more important than a woman who had impressive outward appearance. That’s why he said “Charm is deceptive or misleading and beauty will fade (it will last only for a short time)”.
Although this verse is the second to the last verse in the Book of Proverbs but this is not the least and it should be treated as one of the highlights verse to apply. Hence, as believers NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE – INWARD BEAUTY IS MORE VALUABLE/PRECIOUS THAN OUTWARD APPEARANCE.

Pastor’s Message

2 Chronicles 26:16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

Uzziah start as humble and excellent, in other words he is God-dependent. God provided for all his needs. God blessed Him so much. But he became prideful, and it’s rooted from being so self-confident and lack of thankfulness.
Thus, as believers, we should always remember that what we have all comes from the source of all – our God. We need to humbly say “thank you” and not be in so much pride. Because, PRIDE will not lift us up but pull us down. [Read more…]
