This is a great spiritual principle in the Bible and in our daily Christian life, and it is based on the fact that God created man not to WORK for Him but for man to be satisfied with God and rest with God! Man’s first day on earth after he was created was God’s rest […]
We FIRST need to enjoy the Lord and rest in Him, and THEN we can work together with God!

degradation comes in when we lose our first love for the Lord, when we have an idol
When we were saved, when we believed into the Lord for the first time, we had eyes for the Lord Jesus only, and we didn’t see anything or anyone else but Him. Actually, when we were saved we entered into a love relationship with the Lord, into a life-union with Him, where we love Him […]

receiving a fresh vision of the church meetings and the church life in a very practical way
I was recently impressed in a fresh way regarding the meetings of the church. How can you say that you are in the church? Practically, one believer is in the church if he meets with the saints – if he is in the church meetings! You can’t truthfully say, Hallelujah, I’m part of the church! […]

Christ is the Servant of God, and we are saved to serve(we are all serving ones!)
There is so much about this wonderful Person, Christ! We can never exhaust speaking about Him, appreciating Him, and enjoying Him! This morning I was freshly impressed with the fact that Christ is the Servant of Jehovah – He was the Servant of Jehovah in eternity past, He became the Servant of Jehovah in humanity, […]

those who wait on Jehovah will renew their strength, they will mount up with wings like eagles!
In the book of Isaiah we see a contrast between a man in the old creation(king Hezekiah, ch. 36-39) and a man in the new creation (ch. 40). No matter how good and spiritual Hezekiah was, because he was still in the old creation, he needed to be terminated and replaced with Christ! A person […]

we need to pass through Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the river Jordan – for the new creation!
There is a story in the Old Testament about Elijah the prophet and his disciple/continuation, Elisha. In 2 Kings 2:1-15, we see that Elijah was about to be raptured, so he told Elisha to stay in that place where they were because God called him to go to Gilgal. Elisha said, “As Jehovah lives and […]
