Why Did God Forbid the Israelites from Intermarrying the Canaanites in the Bible?

Since the Canaan got cursed by Noah way back in Genesis 10, all his descendants formed part of the curse. God, who knew Jesus would come through a woman, chose to forbid the Israelites from marrying any Canaanite descendant all throughout the Old Testament because He wanted to preserve the holy Seed of Christ flowing through Abraham’s family line, especially Judah.

God Can’t Be Tempted by Evil

Understand that God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone with evil. The temptations you face stem from the wickedness prevalent in the world, your own depraved nature, and the influence of the devil. By recognising this truth, you can better equip yourself to resist temptation and grow in your faith.

The Art of Depending on God for Provision

The art of depending on God for provision is a vital aspect of Christian living. Our insatiable desires and pursuit of worldly things can lead us astray, causing us to forget to rely on God. However, when we seek Him first, He promises to provide all our needs. Let us not envy others or rely on temporary solutions but patiently wait on God, knowing He has our best interests at heart.

Enduring God’s Chastening as His Child

No loving parent chastises their child to drive them away but rather to bring them back onto the right path. Similarly, God’s chastisement is not meant to condemn us but to lead us to repentance and restoration. As His children, we must recognise His authority over us and submit to His loving correction, trusting that it is for our ultimate good.

The Power of Faith Over Fear

The power of faith stands in stark contrast to the paralysing effects of fear. That encourages believers to strengthen their faith, support one another in love, and foster unity within the Christian community. May this understanding deepen our commitment to living fearlessly in Christ.

Cultivate What Is in Your Hands – A Message to All Workers on World Labour Day

Never stop working. You can retire from your workplace, but don’t go and sit home doing nothing. Otherwise, your potential will be wasted. As you age, you won’t be able to go at the pace young people go. So, reducing your workload and training people to replace you as you gain more experience is wise. But always find something worthwhile doing. It will help you to cultivate what is in your hands—gifts, talents and creativity.

The Lay Ministry — Is It Scriptural to Practice?

Since Jesus gave these gifts to men, it’s clear that not everyone in Christ has the same gift. 1 Corinthians 7:7 tells us that each has his own gift in Christ. So, if the gifts are diverse, then each believer’s function in the body of Christ is different. That means that when it comes to ministry, some will represent Christ using their gifts in full-time ministry and others in the lay ministry.

Work as unto the Lord and Not unto Man

Work is a vital aspect of our existence today, shaping and moulding the world, as we all can attest to. Regrettably, many have perceived work as burdensome and unfulfilling, driven by financial gain rather than their purpose. In this article, I want to talk about how individuals, particularly believers, can embrace the value and essentialities of work and approach it with all diligence and enthusiasm.

Let Perseverance Finish Its Work in You

Perseverance is more than just enduring tough difficulties; it is about embracing the growth and maturity that come from these experiences. By understanding that tribulations are inevitable, discerning God’s purpose behind our struggles, and remembering the lessons learned, you allow perseverance to complete its transformative work in you.
