Gospel, Salvation and Righteousness

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’” — Romans 1:16–17.

The gospel of Christ is the good news from God that offers salvation to everyone who believes. When you hear the gospel, simply believe it to experience its saving power. This power delivers us from sin, disease, and curses.

When received by faith, the gospel reveals to the believer that they are the righteousness of God. This means that the moment one believes, they receive salvation and are declared righteous before God.

Righteousness signifies a right standing with God, free from a consciousness of sin. The good news, when preached, highlights what is right with the believer because of Jesus’s finished work on the Cross, rather than focusing on what is wrong.

No work is required for us to obtain salvation and righteousness. Jesus accomplished everything for us on the Cross. By grace, we are saved, not by works (Romans 11:6). Our responsibility is to hear the gospel, believe it, grow in faith, and receive the revelation of righteousness. Only then will the gospel unleash its saving power in every aspect of our lives.

Stay blessed!

How Do You Respond When You Hear About Jesus?

Every encounter with Jesus begins with a response. The difference between receiving a miracle and missing a blessing often depends on what you do when you hear about Him. Throughout Scripture, we see ordinary people who encountered Jesus—and their responses opened the door to extraordinary transformation. Let me share a few examples with you. Blind Bartimaeus: The Cry That Stopped Heaven When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, something within him came alive. Though he couldn't see with his natural eyes, his spirit was wide awake. He cried out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" (Mark 10:47). The crowd tried to silence him. They told him to be quiet and to stop making a scene. But Bartimaeus refused to let public opinion drown out his desperation for change. He understood something most people miss: moments of divine visitation must be seized, not analysed. You cannot afford to wait when destiny walks past your door. His cry was not just noise; it was faith...

God is Moved by Faith, Not Our Needs

Many believe that because God is all-knowing and loving, He will automatically meet our needs. However, while God is indeed aware of our needs, and He hears our prayers, He is not moved by them alone. In Matthew 6:8, Jesus tells us, “For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” This verse emphasizes that God already knows what we need, but it does not negate our responsibility to ask Him. We must actively seek God’s help and provision. If we do nothing, God will not move on our behalf. The truth is, what moves God is faith. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly highlights the importance of faith in receiving God’s blessings and intervention. In Luke 12:28, Jesus says, “If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?” Here, Jesus underscores that it is not our needs that stir God to action but our faith in His ability to provide...

The Sinking Ship of the World

Dwell on the image of a luxury liner. Gleaming brass and polished wood. The music whispering out of the ballroom as passengers dance and dine oblivious to the water seeping in around the hull below. That's our world. Not tomorrow's world. Not some far-off apocalyptic future, but the world you woke up in this morning.The Bible doesn't mince words about this. In Hebrews 12:26-27, we find an astonishing promise: "At t time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, 'Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.' The words 'once more' indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain." Reread that. God isn't threatening to shake things. He's promising to shake them. And not just the earth this time, but the heavens too. Everything built from human imagination, will, and gathered might will be subjected to this sacred earthquake. What can be shaken will be sh...
