World Wide Christian Ministries
A global, bible based resource for equipping and empowering Christians
I’ve been thinking about something I read in the Bible recently, and I wanted to share it with you. It’s about this idea of hunger versus appetite, and how it relates to our lives and faith.
You know how Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” Matthew 5:6. I’ve been pondering what He meant by that. It’s like He’s talking about a deeper kind of hunger than just wanting stuff, you know?
In this article, I want to try and provide a balance however between the fervour, enthusiasm and engagement that the Body of Christ may put into these two sporting events (football/soccer and tennis.) plus others.
In addition, to explore the stark contrast between the societal fervent interest and cultural obsession with sports and our often-lukewarm approach and indifferent attitude to spiritual matters of eternal significance i.e. “Winning the Lost for Jesus.” and how this is reflected in the fulfilment and the outworking of the “Great Commission.”
Let’s have the courage to proclaim the full, uncompromised Gospel, trusting in its inherent power to save and transform lives.
By doing so, we honour the timeless nature of God’s Word and ensure that its life-changing message continues to reach hearts and minds across generations.
Let’s remember “The fields of the harvest are white, but labourers are few.”
Allow me to present a provocative idea. “The veracity of a statement is not established by the consensus of the majority.” Consider the scenario when we attempt to establish the rule of gravity by a committee decision! Preposterous and ridiculous, correct? Of course it is. We do not create God’s truth; it’s discovered via exploration, rather than being fabricated, we seek it out. It’s quite similar to archaeology in that we uncover long-lost artefacts by digging them up and removing the dust, we uncover what has always there.
Le fruit de l’Esprit Saint. Un chemin vers la véritable transformation. Le fruit de l’Esprit Saint. Bonjour à tous ! Aujourd’hui, dans notre étude hebdomadaire, nous nous penchons sur ce qu’on appelle le fruit du Saint-Esprit. Que vous soyez chrétien ou non, restez dans les parages – il est important que tout le monde réfléchisse […]
When we accept Jesus as our Saviour, something amazing happens. We receive forgiveness for all the ways we’ve messed up, but it doesn’t stop there. God gives us the Holy Spirit, who begins to work in our lives, producing these “fruits.”
This is crucial because it means these qualities aren’t just things we try to imitate. They become part of who we are. The Holy Spirit actually changes us from the inside out. If you want to think of it this way – Our hearts become like a fertile field and in it God plants seeds and these grow and are called the “Fruit of the Spirit.”
Esta é uma pergunta importante e perspicaz para todos nós, e que tenho de fazer regularmente a mim mesmo: “O senhor já se sentiu ocupado demais para perceber aqueles que não conhecem a Deus?” Tenho vergonha de confessar que sei que sim. Equilibrando meu trabalho como evangelista, professor, autor e gerenciando o YouTube e a divulgação nas mídias sociais, tudo isso enquanto trabalho meio período 3 dias por semana em um emprego secular, é fácil ficar preso em minha própria vida e não perceber as necessidades espirituais das pessoas ao meu redor, especialmente daquelas que estão perdidas.
Voici une question importante qui nous concerne tous et que je dois me poser régulièrement : “Vous êtes-vous déjà sentis trop occupés pour remarquer ceux qui ne connaissent pas Dieu ? J’ai honte d’avouer que je sais que cela m’est arrivé. En conciliant mon travail d’évangéliste, d’enseignant, d’auteur, et la gestion de YouTube et des médias sociaux, tout en travaillant à temps partiel 3 jours par semaine dans un emploi séculier, il est facile d’être pris dans ma propre vie et de manquer les besoins spirituels des gens autour de moi, et en particulier ceux qui sont perdus.
If we truly have God’s heart, and that is the question we are asking ourselves here today, we must and will be the passionate about reaching those far from Him. Just as the shepherd relentlessly seeks the lost sheep, we too must actively seek out those who are spiritually lost and bound for a Christless eternity – some of whom could be our “Brother, Sister, Child, Neighbour or Work Colleagues or Parent’s” who knows.
As children of God, we are more than just regular people confined to this earthly plane, and this has been a central theme in spiritual teachings from the very beginning. Actually, we are more like a band of heavenly messengers (ambassadors), given the Holy Spirit as an empowering force to accomplish a sacred mission which is to make known in our own spheres of influence the heavenly truths of the Gospel.
