MAGIC IS LOGIC – By Lakshman Navaratne Image Source : City Bible Church 3500 years ago, King Solomon was gifted with the Wisdom of our Maker. God of Hebrews gave his people forty years of rest from the enemies of Israel. 2700 years ago, Hebrew prophet Isaiah 53:4 wrote: “Surely, he took up our pain     and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,     stricken by him, and afflicted.” 2000 years ago, the prophesy of a faithful generation was fulfilled through Hebrew Blood of the Rabbi Yeshua!    No part of human body, evolved from animals. Our sight is the unquestionable, miracle organ of the human body. No one can claim Jesus is God, unless he or she receives the same Baptism Jesus received at the age of 30. Moses spent 40 days on mount Sinai receiving the Magic of Creation. After the Baptism at the River Jordon, Jesus spent ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – PALM SUNDAY-HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST – By Charles Schokman   Today, Christians around the world are celebrating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (which we usually call “Palm Sunday,” because the crowd welcomed Him by spreading palm branches in His path). Those who greeted Him were convinced He was the Messiah (or “anointed one”), sent by God to establish His Kingdom on earth.   Why did the crowds turn against Jesus so quickly? One week they welcomed Him, and the next week they demanded He be crucified.   Billy Graham addressed this important question numerous times in his My Answer column.   “No events in human history were more important than Jesus’ death and resurrection, and yet many people (even Christians) never take time to study them.   It must have been a dramatic sight as Jesus approached Jerusalem on a donkey (which was a sign of His humility). The ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – The Best way to grow old together. – By Charles Schokman Image Source : quotepics You know you’re getting old when you look through your car steering wheel, rather than over it OR when you can no longer cut your own toenails OR when you and your teeth don’t sleep together. In other words, getting old(er) is not for sissies. We are in a war with ageing. The problem with that war on ageing is that it can’t be won. No one ever grows young, we wake up each day one day older – no one avoids this rule – like it or not. An easy question to answer is: what is the worst about growing old? A harder question is, what is best about growing old? Older adults are measured by the word ‘still’ – can I still drive, can I still walk, can I still chew? The good news is that ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Let this message be your “Anchor of Trust” for 2024 – By Charles Schokman I have heard this in my spirit for weeks, “Nothing is impossible with God.”Not only have I been hearing this from God, but numerous prophetic words are declaring the same thing. The best part is it comes straight from the word of God. It Is His promise to us as believers                                                                                                                                                  The Bible has a great deal to say about the ...

AWAY IN A MANGER – Christmas Card Image Source : catholic daily reflections NO CRIB FOR A BED Both during Christmas festivities as well as prayers of thanks in the season a mediating thought can be  that God appeared on earth amongst the poor. Why?  There are some suggestive indicators from which a design may be worked out. It was probably a recognition that the great multitudes on earth were these materially unfortunate people . It is not that the more fortunate classes were neglected by The Lord but as the Bible  quotes Jesus as saying in Luke 18:25 that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” It is also in the Qur’an of Islam. The “Eye of the Needle” was in fact a narrow gateway into Jerusalem. Since camels were heavily loaded with goods ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – God is the Good Shepherd – By Charles Schokman In the New Testament, Christians are referred to as sheep, and God is the Good Shepherd, and we are the sheep of His pastures. Sheep depend on the shepherds to care, protect, and guide them along life’s journey, bringing them to a safe place to graze. In this season, the sounds of the world are beginning to weigh us down, causing even the strongest ones to grow weary, and if we aren’t mindful, we’ll become downcast. The devil wants to keep us turned upside down in our circumstances. However, in Jesus Christ, we can find rest for our weary souls. If you find yourself in a season of heaviness, lost with feelings of hopelessness, the Lord says, “I want to shepherd the hearts of My people.” We encourage you to stir your faith up in the Lord, allowing the ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – JESUS NEVER FAILS – By Charles Schokman God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19).   What comfort, confidence, and blessed assurance to know that you can trust God with your life! You can depend on Him to take care of you and guide you into your destiny; the destiny of His working! He’s trustworthy, faithful and reliable! He never fails. When you trust in the Lord you shall not be confounded (1 Peter 2:6). That means you’ll never be disgraced or “put to the blush,” for trusting God. The Scripture is replete with testimonies of those who, in defiance of life-threatening circumstances, demonstrated absolute trust and confidence in God and experienced a miracle. The ...

IMAGINE THIS IN YOUR BLOOD! CLIMAX OF DARKNESS IN THE LIGHT OF Christ – By Lakshman Navaratne Scripture documents “Darkness was separated from Light, not destroyed?”. Today, in the hearts of 9 billion humans living on earth, this Spirit of Darkness is operating as the “Prince of this earth”. Violence at its peak! {The writer of this article, is convinced without a shadow of doubt in his heart, that the reader will comprehend this hidden revelation in scripture; only if the reader has received the Baptism of Pentecost? Also, removes from his mind the concepts and arguments, presented through science and theology, beautifully-animated to hide the truth of human suffering.} THE CLIMAX OF DARKNESS IS NOT DEATH; IT IS WHAT LEADS TO THIS EVENT THROUGH HUMAN SUFFERING. WRITTEN IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS “SIN”. The Scripture documents “wage of sin is Death”!  THIS IS THE SILENT KILLER OF THE HUMAN BODY. ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Praying for others makes a difference – By Charles Schokman “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16, NKJV).                       One of our most important spiritual disciplines is prayer. Praying allows us to communicate and connect directly with God. What an awesome privilege that is! We can pray about anything at any time. We can pray to proclaim our praise to God or pray to ask for help from Him. While sometimes we need to pray for ourselves, today I’d like to share why it’s important to pray for others. Here are six reasons we should pray for other people:   1 Prayer works! “Pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16, NKJV). Your prayers make a difference. The lives and ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north.” (Deuteronomy 2:3) – By Charles Schokman Listen to this wonderful challenge from Ruth Graham… “Either we can be victimised and become victims, or we can be victimised and rise above it. Often it is easier to play the victim than take off our masks and ask for help. We get comfortable with our victim status. It becomes our identity and is hard to give up. The Israelites often played the victim card, and I love what God finally tells them, ‘You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north’ (Deuteronomy 2:3). Turn north! It’s time to move on! Self-pity, fear, pride, and negativity paralyse us. Taking off our masks takes courage, but if we don’t do it, we will remain in our victim status and end up stunted.” What about you? Do you keep talking and ...
