Unveiling the Riches of Christ_*


The more we immerse ourselves in God's Word, the richer we become in Christ. It's a transformative process where the principles of Scripture gradually infiltrate our minds, shaping our behavior, and leading us to a deeper understanding of the Christian life.


Psalm 119:11 lays the foundation for this transformative journey: *"Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You."* Studying Scripture is not merely an academic exercise; it is a safeguard against straying from God's path. The Word becomes a shield, guiding our steps and preventing us from stumbling.


Romans 12:2 further illuminates this process: *"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."* The renewal of our minds through Scripture is so important; it empowers us to discern God's will and align our lives with His perfect plan.


As we dig deeper into God's Word, Colossians 3:16 encourages us: *"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."* The richness of Christ is not a distant concept but a present reality as His Word dwells within us, shaping our interactions and relationships.


2 Timothy 3:16-17 emphasizes the comprehensive nature of Scripture: *"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."* The Scriptures equip us for every facet of life, providing guidance, correction, and inspiration for the Christian journey.


The joy of the Christian life unfolds as we allow the principles of Scripture to permeate our minds and influence our actions. It is a journey of continuous growth, understanding, and enjoyment of the profound riches found in Christ.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
