Caprice

-


Your watchful eyes caught him.
They looked at him with judgement.
Their suspicions were unveiled.
They are excited to reveal more of him.

Unmasked.
This seemingly good and innocent-looking face
revealed its dark side.
As you look into it,
the darker it becomes-
the more evil it looks like.

Look how in just few days
you triumphed!
You won the battle that
he never knew how and when it started.
And you will always win
because you are holding an ace
that will destroy him anytime.

He is doomed.

You unlocked
his Pandora's box.
Unearthed the skeletons
that he's been keeping inside.
Now you know
that the murmurs of the itchy tongues are true.

All the good things are burnt and
produced a suffocating smoke
that no one dares to breathe in.
They will never help him stand tall.
They will never save him

from this caprice.

Paul's Journey to The Road of Damascus Leading to The Door of Faith

“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell   is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. MATTHEW 7 : 13 - 14 NLT This is one amongst the teachings of Jesus Christ recorded as Sermon on The Mount. As I searched for the synonyms of "gate"/ "gateway" in Oxford dictionary, I found "entrance", "door"/ "doorway". Spiritually, this "door" that we will explore is a metaphor representing no other than Jesus Christ. One of His great "I AM’s" is " I Am The Door." As it is declared in  JOHN 10: 9-10 NKJV "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." NLT v...

Moses answered, “Don't be afra id! Stand your ground, and you will see what the  Lord  will do to save you today; you will never see these Egyptians again.  The  Lord  will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep still.” EXODUS 14:13-14 TEV/ GNT SETTING/ BACKGROUND: The Israelites are encamped near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal-zephon. (V. 2) Then the Egyptians, including the Pharoah started to chase them when he realized that he made a mistake in letting the Israelites leave. In life, we always come to a point when great changes happen; we have to make big decisions while being caught in a seemingly overwhelming situations; we have to leave someone; we need go somewhere else with no assurance what awaits us; or start a new beginning full of uncertainty. Anxiety will dominate. Fear can be overwhelming at worst. In this text, the Israelites are in despair because right behind them are m...

How Christians Can Build Each Other Up?

-
Image
20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love. 22 And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. JUDE 1: 20-23 NLT Introduction: How do you influence other people? How comfortable are you in talking to other people about your faith, about their faith and about salvation? Talking to other people about your faith or about their faith is a challenging aspect in any kind of conversation or relationship because it is too personal or worse, it is a non-existent thing to others. How much more if it is about salvation and eternal life? God wants us to strengthen/ build each other up so we will all experience His lo...
