God's Love Makes You Strong

Ephesians 3:19
... 19to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


If you were to thank God for something today, what would it be? For me, it's thanking God for giving us Jesus. For when I see Jesus on the cross, I see the love of God overcoming everything for me. It causes me to say, "Thank you, Jesus! I love you, Jesus! I worship you, Jesus! Bless you, Jesus! Hallelujah!"

And as we worship and celebrate the love of Jesus in our lives, we will find ourselves changed and we will see the mighty power of God displayed for us and through us.

This was the case in the life of David. His personal times of worship, of being absorbed in God's love for him, changed him from mere shepherd boy to lion killer, bear killer, giant killer and finally, king over Israel.

Now, no one on earth, no matter how strong he is, can come against a lion and prise open its mouth to snatch back his sheep which the lion had carried away, unless God's anointing and protection is on him. And this was indeed what happened to David the shepherd boy who went after the lion, caught it by its beard, struck it and killed it, and thus delivered the lamb from its mouth. (1 Samuel 17:34–37)

My friend, no man can truly enjoy living in this world without God's strength in his life, God's favour in his work and relationships, God's protection for him and his family, God's increase for his finances, and God's health and healing for his body. Likewise, no woman can survive emotionally, socially or physically without God's tender touch, God's loving presence, God's sweet assurance, and God's Word of life in times of need.

Beloved, as you feed on Jesus' love for you, you'll be filled with the fullness of God. Like David, God's anointing will begin to operate powerfully in your life. And when spiritual lions come into your life, even the devil himself — when he comes like a roaring lion against you or your loved ones or your possessions — you'll grab hold of his mouth and you'll tear him apart!

God Blesses What You Touch

Deuteronomy 28:88
The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.


Do you remember the story of King Midas and his golden touch? He made a wish that everything he touched would turn into gold, and his wish came to pass. He touched his food, the trees in his garden and his palace, and they all turned into gold! Then, he hugged his daughter whom he loved very much and she immediately turned into a gold statue!

God's way is better and it has no bad side effects. He wants to bless everything you touch. The Bible says, "The Lord will command the blessing on you… and in all to which you set your hand…" This means that whatever you touch, whatever you set your hands to, God will command the blessing upon it, be it a person, thing or business. So if you touch your child, he is blessed. If you touch your guitar, anointed music flows forth. If you touch your business, it prospers. When you touch a sick person, he gets healed. When you touch someone who is facing lack, his needs are met.

In the Bible, everything that Jesus touched prospered. He touched the eyes of two blind men and their eyes were opened. (Matthew 9:28–30) He touched the open coffin of a widow's son, and the young man sat up and began to speak. (Luke 7:12–15) He touched the leper and the leprosy departed. (Mark 1:40–42) Under the old covenant laws, no one was supposed to touch a leper as lepers were considered unclean. If you touch the unclean, you become unclean. But Jesus touched the leper and the unclean became clean!

Everyone whom Jesus touched received a blessing. And because Jesus lives in you by His Spirit, what you touch will be blessed too. He paid the price for you to have this blessing. His loving hands which imparted blessings to so many were nailed to the cross so that, today, God can command His blessing in all to which you set your hands!

Thanksgiving Can Raise The Dead!

John 11:41–42
41… And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42And I know that You always hear Me…


After Jesus had said these words, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" And the man who had been dead for four days came out of his tomb!

This is one of the greatest miracles that Jesus performed. Lazarus had been dead for four days when Jesus raised him to life. Wouldn't you agree that death is indeed an extreme problem? Having no money in the bank, being sick and losing your job, bad as they are, are not as bad as being dead!

But what I want you to see is this: If Jesus, in the most extreme of problems, shows us that the solution is still, "Father, I thank You," then how much more we should thank God when we face problems that are less serious. If thanksgiving can raise the dead, then let's give thanks in the midst of our problems and see victory.

Unfortunately, we tend to do the opposite — murmur and complain. But murmuring and complaining only magnify the problem. Thanksgiving, on the other hand, is the language of faith, which pleases God. Now, I am not saying that we give thanks for the problems we have. No, we thank God that He is our answer and that He has already given every blessing to us. (Ephesians 1:3)

"But Pastor Prince, what I have is so little."

My friend, thank God for the little that you have and it will multiply. Jesus thanked His Father for the five barley loaves and two small fish, a little boy's lunch, and they were multiplied to feed more than 5,000 people with 12 baskets full of leftovers! (John 6:8–13) And notice that when the Holy Spirit talked about this event again, He specifically mentioned the Lord giving thanks — "... the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks…" (John 6:23) The Holy Spirit seemed to be more pleased with the act of giving thanks than the miracle of multiplication or the 12 baskets full of leftovers.

Beloved, the more you thank God, the more you please Him. What little you have will be multiplied, and whatever is dead in your life will be raised to life!

Standing On No-Curse Ground

Genesis 8:4
4Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.


For 40 days and 40 nights, it rained so hard that the whole world perished, except for Noah and those who were with him in the ark. At the end of 150 days, Noah's ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, on the 17th day of the seventh month.

In Hebrew, the word Ararat means "the curse is reversed". The waters of judgment receded, causing the ark to rest on the mountains of Ararat, on new ground, where the curse is reversed. And it happened on the 17th day of the seventh month, on the Feast of First Fruits, the exact date Jesus rose from the dead 4,000 years later!

When Christ rose from the dead, we, too, were raised together with Him. (Colossians 2:12). We, who are in Christ our true ark, stand on resurrection ground where the curse has been reversed. (Galatians 3:13) Today, we stand on no-curse ground, where sicknesses and diseases, poverty and lack, difficulties and failures, cannot operate!

A church member shared how God delivered him from cervical spondylosis, a medical condition which causes the neck section of the spinal cord to deteriorate. An X-ray taken four to five years back showed that that area of his spinal cord was deteriorating fast. He was in pain and had to take medicine to manage the condition. Whenever he had a relapse, he would get depressed.

During the latest relapse, he went to the doctor, had another X-ray taken and was given some medication. He took the medication, believing God for healing. The following morning, the pain in his neck was gone and he was able to turn his head.

When he finally collected his X-ray results a week later, his doctor actually told him that his spinal cord looked better than his own! The doctor was very surprised because patients with this condition usually don't get better. God had reversed the curse of cervical spondylosis for him!

As a believer, you are on no-curse ground. You stand in the blessing zone where it is very easy for the blessings of God to rain all over you, and even cause an overflow!

God Is In It With You

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.


Do you feel misunderstood and forsaken by the people you love? Have you been falsely accused and stripped of everything, without a dime to your name? Is your life messed up? Maybe today is the day you hit rock-bottom and you wonder if you can ever rise again.

Joseph, who was sold by his brothers into slavery (Genesis 37:28), went through all these emotions. Still, he was conscious that God was in it with him every step of the way. Though his life was a mess, he believed that it was not an accident. Though the things that were happening to him were not good, he believed that God was making all things work together for his good. And it was indeed so, for Joseph eventually rose to the most powerful position in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. (Genesis 41:40)

Probably, this consciousness that God was in it with him was the reason he forgave his brothers when they came back later in his life to seek his forgiveness. Joseph told them, "But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life." (Genesis 45:5)

So like Joseph, whatever you are facing now, be conscious that God is in it with you. For when you are Jesus-conscious, though you may have nothing or not much now, you have everything when you have Jesus!

The same Jesus who went around enriching others with 12 basketfuls of leftovers, a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fishes, and who never impoverished anybody, will empower you to prosper and succeed in life. The same Jesus who went about doing good will cause good to explode in your life. The same Jesus who went about healing the sick and never giving anyone disease will keep you in divine health and protect you from harm.

Because "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8), as He was with Joseph, He is with you. And He will empower you to live the high life — the abundant life in which you will see all of God's promises manifest!

Jesus Overpaid The Debt You Could Not Pay

Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.


I’d like you to imagine this scenario: You borrow a huge sum of money from a friend and promise to pay him back in six months’ time. When the time comes, you feel really bad because you cannot repay him as you don’t have the money. A year rolls by without you repaying your friend. Now, you feel extremely guilty. You try to avoid your friend because you are too embarrassed and ashamed to see him.

Let’s say your best friend hears about your plight. Of his own free will, he goes to your creditor and says, “Look, I understand that my best friend owes you money.”

“Yes, $50,000.”

“Here is $100,000. I’m paying you on his behalf.”

The creditor protests, “No, no, no! He owes me only $50,000.”

Your best friend says, “I know that he owes you that amount. But take the $100,000 so that you can never say that he still owes you that debt.”

Now, your debt has already been paid. But if you don’t believe that it has been paid, that debt will still be on your conscience. You will still be afraid to see your creditor. And you will try to avoid him all the time because each time you see him, he reminds you of your debt.

In the same manner, Jesus was an over-payment when He offered Himself as your sin offering because of the quality and worth of the Man Himself. He actually overpaid for your sins when He became your sacrifice on the cross.

Now, if you don’t believe that the payment has been made, you’ll suffer because your unbelief will rob you of assurance, joy and peace. You will still have debt on your conscience. Even though the Lord doesn’t impute sin to you (Romans 4:8), sin is still on your conscience.

And as long as sin is on your conscience, you won’t dare to draw near to God. But the truth of the matter is that your sins have been paid for! And Jesus is an over-payment! Today, my friend, draw near to God with no sin on your conscience!

Rest And Receive Your Miracle

Hebrews 4:9
There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.


In the healing of the paralysed man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–16), Jesus knew that for 38 years, the man had been flat on his back, unable to do anything for himself or others, no matter how hard he struggled.

In the case of the woman oppressed with a spirit of infirmity (Luke 13:10–13), Jesus knew that the woman had been bowed over for 18 years. And in that condition, she saw very little that was beautiful in life, only dusty grounds, dirty sandals and bruised feet.

What about the man with a withered hand? (Luke 6:6–10) Jesus knew from His carpenter days how a useless hand could have easily given the man a very poor sense of self-worth.

I believe that all three of them must have struggled for so long to get back on their feet, to try to lift themselves up, to attempt to do something about their situations, only to be disappointed each time they failed. In fact, they got so frustrated with striving to get better that by the time they met Jesus, they were no longer doing anything about their situations.

It was then that Jesus extended His offer to turn their situations around. And when they embraced His offer, they received the miracles that they had sought for so long.

You too may have been struggling to get back on your two feet, or lift yourself up from the burdens and problems that have sorely weighed you down. You have attempted to do whatever you could, hoping that it would amount to something, but you have been frustrated time and again. My friend, God wants you to cease from all your struggling and accept the offer He extends — turn your situations around.

It is no coincidence that all three of them received their miracles on the Sabbath, the day of rest in the Jewish calendar. God's Word says, "There remains therefore a rest for the people of God." The day you cease from your own labouring and striving, and rest in the finished work of Christ, is the day you receive your miracle.

Jesus has done all the work. Whatever you need has been provided for at the cross. So just rest and receive your miracle!

Hope That Does Not Disappoint

Romans 5:5
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


Today, we express hope as if we can’t be sure what will really happen. We say, “I hope I’ll win that prize… I hope it won’t rain tomorrow… I hope everything works out well...”

But “hope” in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good. This is because as His child, your heavenly Father favours you. Because Christ is in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27), you can expect the glory of God to shine into every area of your life, including your family, job, ministry, health and finances!

God’s Word says, “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” My friend, you may have experienced disappointed hopes, but there is a hope that does not disappoint when you are conscious of how much God loves you. It is a hope that springs from the heart of God, who loves you very much.

It is interesting that the first mention of the Holy Spirit in the book of Romans is tied up with the love of God. Now, the book of Romans is considered foundational for all Christians. Could it be that the first thing the Holy Spirit wants to do is to establish in your heart that God loves you? Many people think that the Holy Spirit has come to teach us about power, but the truth is that the Holy Spirit has come not to reveal the love for power, but the power of love!

My friend, you may have just lost your job, but if you believe that “Jesus loves me this I know”, you can say, “I believe I will get a better job tomorrow.” Your girlfriend may have just left you for your best friend, but because “Jesus loves me this I know”, you can say, “I’ll meet a better girl tomorrow.”

When you believe that God loves you, you will have a positive expectation of good. You will have hope that does not disappoint, so be careful what you hope for because you are bound to get it!

Freely Receive What God Freely Gives

Romans 4:13
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.


God promised that you would be the heir of the world. It is the same promise that He made to Abraham. And because you are Christ's, you are Abraham's seed and an heir“according to the promise". (Galatians 3:29)

Now, when God made this promise to you, He made it so easy for you to receive — “through the righteousness of faith”. All you have to do is believe that, as the heir of the world, every blessing is righteously yours because Jesus died to give them to you. He also rose from the dead to enforce them in your life.

So don’t try to earn your blessings “through the law” — through your own effort or performance. Freely receive what God freely gives to you through Christ and His finished work at the cross.

When a church member was retrenched at 41 years of age, he refused to fret or think that he had to jostle with the rest of the people in the job market. Instead, he believed that he would get a better job with a higher pay — by God’s grace. Indeed, through a mutual acquaintance, a new job came along with a pay packet that was 60 per cent more than his previous one!

Another man was experiencing a strained relationship with his wife, to the point that divorce was imminent. When he started attending our church, he realised that a happy marriage could be his, not by his trying to keep the marriage going or earning the love of his wife, but by believing that although he had been a lousy husband, he was still the righteousness of God in Christ because of the blood of Jesus. Today, he and his wife are reconciled and enjoying a blessed marriage.

Don't let the devil disqualify you by bringing you the law and saying, “How can you receive this blessing when just last night, you broke God’s law?” or “Are you sure you deserve this?” Instead, say, “Father, I thank you that I receive everything freely by Your grace, Your unmerited favour in my life, because of the blood of Jesus!”

Satan Cannot Come Before God To Accuse You

Romans 8:33
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.


The book of Job tells us that Satan came to God’s throne and complained about Job. (Job 1:6–12) God’s throne is the most holy place. So why did God allow Satan to come before Him?

Satan could come before God because Adam had given up his place when he bowed his knee to Satan in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 3) So Satan had the right to take Adam’s place and come before God.

But praise God, Jesus, the last Adam, has come! And the sprinkling of His blood has cleansed the things of heaven. (Hebrews 9:22–24) His blood cleansed and redeemed the unclean place where Satan walked and stood before God. There remains, therefore, no place in heaven for Satan. He cannot come before God any more to accuse you.

Who then, is in God’s presence today? It is Jesus! He is there for us. (Hebrews 9:24) And since He is for us, “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Romans 8:34)

So what happened to Job cannot happen to you. Job longed for a mediator, but he had none. (Job 9:33) His dream is our reality. Today, we have Jesus as our Mediator making intercession for us! (1 Timothy 2:5)

However, since the devil cannot come before God any more, he comes to you and prosecutes you in your conscience. His greatest tool is deception because He has no real power. He has to deceive you into thinking that God is against you. He wants you to believe that you are missing it because you have failed God, or that you are sick or poor because of your sins.

Don’t fall for his lies. If it is God who justifies you, no one can bring a charge against you. Satan cannot come before God to accuse you. You, however, have free access to God’s throne of grace to “obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need”. (Hebrews 4:16) Jesus’ holy blood has given you that perfect standing in the presence of God!

There Is Just Something About You

Isaiah 60:1
Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.


People might have said to you, “Why are you so lucky?” or “You seem to be looking younger and younger,” or “There is so much bad news these days. Yet, you seem untroubled by them.”

Now, the people of the world don’t have spiritual discernment. So they can only go by your physical appearance, your behaviour and what happens to you. In other words, if they notice something different about you, it’s because they see the evidence of God’s glory on your life — in your family and work life, health and finances.

Your friends and colleagues may have told you that you stand out from the rest as though a spotlight were on you. And, truly, this is so because of Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) When God’s glory is upon you, you become a heavyweight, even if you are not eloquent. I should know. I stuttered and stammered right up to my teens. So when your words change people’s lives, you know it is not you, it is the Lord.

You don’t have to be a straight-A student, or be able to speak Queen’s English. You may be uncouth like the disciple Peter, but when the glory of God has risen upon you, and you stand up and preach, 3,000 people get saved! (Acts 2:14–41) What is important is that God gives weight to what you say.

You might be a nobody, like Joseph, a slave cast aside and forgotten in a dungeon. Yet, the greatest king on earth at that time sought him out to have him interpret his dreams. In other words, God will give to you answers that the people of the world do not have.

Maybe it is your hands — when you lay hands on the sick, they recover. Maybe it is your ability to give counsel that is spot on, or your ability to speak into their future with a word of knowledge or word of wisdom from God.

“The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60:3) My friend, when you see this happening, it is because the people of the world are drawn to the glory of the Lord which has risen upon you!

God Can Qualify The Disqualified

Psalm 103:4…
who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies…


Four women are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus. (Matthew 1:1–16) Interestingly, they are not Sarah, Rebekah, Leah or Rachel, wives of the patriarchs of the Old Testament. Instead, they are Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bethsheba, women who were Gentiles or had morally questionable backgrounds.

Tamar resorted to deception and prostitution to produce children through her father-in-law. Yet, it was from her line, the tribe of Judah, that the Messiah came. (Genesis 38)

Rahab was a Gentile and a prostitute in Jericho, who became a believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Joshua 2:1–21) She also became the mother of Boaz, who married Ruth. (Ruth 4:13)

Ruth was a morally upright woman. But as a Moabitess, she was a Gentile and therefore considered unclean. Yet, this Gentile woman became the grandmother of David (Ruth 4:13–17), whom the Jews regard as their greatest king.

Bathsheba committed adultery with David. (2 Samuel 11:4) Later, she gave birth to King Solomon (2 Samuel 12:24), from whose royal line Jesus is descended.

So what is God saying to us here?

God is saying that He is greater than our sins — where sin abounds, His grace abounds much more. Grace is greater than our sins, so that even when the world disqualifies us, God can qualify us to receive His blessings!

God is also saying that He is a God of many chances. These women’s stories show us that even when our troubles are the result of our own making, they are neither final nor fatal. For when we turn to Him, He can turn our situations around until we see His glory upon us!

Finally, God is saying that He is a God of supernatural positioning. Even when all our earthly connections are gone, the moment we turn to Him, He will find ways to turn our captivity into blessings. As shown in Ruth’s life, He can put us at the right place at the right time for that door of blessings to be opened to us!

My friend, don’t look at your natural background or circumstances and be discouraged. Trust the One “who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies”!

Life With God Is Easy And Light

Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.


It always warms my heart to know that Jesus sees the cares we carry in our hearts. He knows the worries you have for your family and for the future. He feels the heaviness in your heart as you struggle with the sickness in your body. He says to you, “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Jesus wants to give you rest. And He says that the way you receive rest is to be yoked with Him, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. (Matthew 11:29–30)

What does it mean to be yoked with Jesus? Imagine a pair of oxen yoked together. The younger ox sees what the lead ox does and follows it. If the lead ox turns left, the younger ox turns left. If the lead ox stops, the younger ox stops. When the lead ox starts moving again, the younger ox follows. Likewise, Jesus wants us to follow His leading and flow with Him.

It is not hard to flow with Jesus because He will not lay anything heavy on you — “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:30) When you are yoked with Him and you flow with Him, you will learn that there is nothing heavy-hearted, nothing ill-fitting, nothing burdensome from the Lord. When you flow with the Lord, you will find life easy and light!

You might say, “But Pastor Prince, God has given me this burden. And it is weighing heavily on my heart!”

My friend, if the burden is heavy, it is not from God because Jesus said that His burden is light. The devil has probably given you the burden to crush you!

“Oh, Pastor Prince, you are making light of how serious my burden is.”

No, I am not making light of it. Jesus did say that His burden is light and His yoke, easy. So a life yoked with Him is trouble-free, anxiety-free and worry-free. My friend, flow with Him and His leading, and you will find rest for your soul, for the rest of your life!

Set Your Love Upon Jesus

Psalm 91:14
Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.


A woman came to Jesus with an alabaster flask containing very costly fragrant oil, and poured the oil on His head when He was in a house in Bethany. (Matthew 26:6–7) She did this because she loved the Lord. She had set her love upon Him.

But those who were present considered what she did a great waste because the oil could have been sold for an amount equal to one year’s wages, and the money given to the poor instead. Even Jesus’ disciples were indignant and asked her, “Why this waste?” (Matthew 26:8)

But Jesus defended her, saying, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.” (Matthew 26:10) Not only that, He accorded her the highest honour when He added, “Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” (Matthew 26:13)

Two thousand years have passed since this woman anointed Jesus with the expensive oil. She never expected, in her wildest imaginations, that her act of love would be told down through the ages. Many kings and rulers have come and gone. Their great acts have faded from the memories of men. But what this woman did for Jesus is still told today around the world as a memorial to her!

When you set your love upon Jesus and act out of love for Him, though others may see it as a waste of time, energy or money, He will defend you and deliver you from your critics. He will also set you on high. Your ministry will become powerful and life-changing. Your work will be highly esteemed among your peers. Your company will be prominent and highly successful. And it will not just be a job that you have, but a position to influence and impact many lives.

So set your love upon Jesus. Make Him the love of your life today. And He will deliver you and set you on high!

Set Your Love Upon Jesus

Psalm 91:14

Who Do You Say Jesus Is?

Mark 8:29
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.”


Do you know that how you see Jesus determines what you receive from Him? If you see Jesus as your healer, you will receive healing. If you see Jesus as your refuge and fortress, you will receive protection.

The people from Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown, saw Jesus in the natural. They said of Him, “Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us?” (Matthew 13:55–56) They saw Jesus in the natural. They did not see Him as God in the flesh. As a result, He could not do many mighty works there. (Matthew 13:58)

Many people, including some philosophers, see Jesus of Nazareth as a good man who led an exemplary life. They feel that if all of us could live our lives like Him, the world would be a better place. They do not see Jesus as the bread of God who came from heaven to give life to the world. (John 6:33) They do not see Him as the one who came to give them living water so that they would never thirst again. (John 4:14) They do not see Him as the Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world. (John 1:29) They do not receive from Him what they need because they do not esteem Him rightly.

But Jesus did not come just to set a good example. He came to be your Redeemer. (Galatians 3:13) He came to be your righteousness. (1 Corinthians 1:30) He came to be your Shepherd so that you will not lack anything. (Psalm 23:1)

Jesus asked His disciples once, “But who do you say that I am?” How you answer this question depends on how you see Jesus. And how you see Jesus is how you will receive from Him. So see Him as your God, as everything He claims to be in His Word, and He will do mighty works in your life!
