1 Peter 2:9-10 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

As a faithful person in Christ, let us reject a mundane, worldly life and instead operate in the extraordinary and supernatural, Spirit-led life! No matter who you are, you are called and ordained to priesthood in God's heavenly mission. Instead of speaking death, misery, and all worldly things, let our tongues speak life and encouragement and be anointed to preach the gospel, which leads people to Christ, through whom, by our repentance and acceptance, towards eternal life.

Dear Father, let us be grounded in the Word and the application of it. Let us separate ourselves inwardly and outwardly, by our actions and words, to signify the fruits of the spirit! Anoint our tongues with heavenly fire so that they may remain obedient in the matters of spirit and refuse the influence of the flesh. Give us the courage and boldness to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, in whom we lay our eternal hope and trust. We give you all the glory! In Jesus' name we pray and ask.

John 14:6 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

The most piercing, thought-provoking question we can ever ask ourselves is this:

* Who is Jesus to me?
* Who is Christ?
* Whom do I serve?
* What are His attributes, and how do I relate to Him?
Why am I willing to stand firm on this hill, refusing to be moved from my faith despite opposition, shame, or persecution?

Am I serving a trend, an idea, or a piece of history? Or do I truly serve the living Lord? Who is He — to you, and to me?

The Scriptures testify that the truth leading us to eternal salvation is found in the Word of God. Through repentance and through the acceptance of the gift of salvation in Christ, we are ushered into the kingdom of God.

But this road is costly. Those who would serve the Lord must first die to the flesh, and be born again — of water and of Spirit.

And if you are called to preach the gospel — especially in places where opposition is fierce and persecution real — you must settle it deep within your soul before ever uttering a word: Am I ready to lay down my life for the sake of the gospel?

As Paul declared:
“I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. ” (1 Corinthians 15:31)

Yet we do not stand in our own strength. By His grace, we learn the fear of the Lord; and by that same grace, He delivers us from paralyzing fear, granting us reverent love, boldness, and holy confidence.

Therefore, Christ must not be placed at the margins of our lives. He is not to be treated as secondary. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life — and He must be the center, the forefront, the heartbeat of everything. Only then can we follow His lead with unwavering obedience.

We are called to tarry in His Word, to measure ourselves not for condemnation, but to rejoice in the justification secured by His blood. In this partnership with the Holy Spirit, we are shaped, molded, and conformed to the image of Christ.

So let us invite the Spirit of God to search our hearts even now:
to uproot the weeds of unrighteousness,
to unearth hidden burdens, shame, and mistakes,
and to nail them all to the cross where our Savior triumphed once and for all.

The question remains
Who is Jesus to you?
If He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life — then let us walk in that way, proclaim that truth, and live that life until the very end.

Dear Father,

Hear our prayers and supplications! Let Your mercy and forgiveness flows upon us as we move forward in repentance.

Comfort our weary hearts,
Lay Your loving hand upon us,
As we seek shelter in Your presence.
Rebuke us in all manner so that our life and our soul is preserved.

As a church we bring you the offering of our praise and worship as we dedicate our days into Your hands. Let it testify of Your goodness and mercy.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Galatians 1:3-5)

Most often we miss the simplicity of the gospel that is made accessible to all kinds of people. Most interestingly this would be the most wonderful test case for the phrase "Love is blind". While we as so called followers of Christ have the tendency to be judgemental, sizing up one another and being critics basing one on status and societal level, in contrary to the call to love all as God loved us all, All. [John 3:16]

Our rabbi and saviour, Jesus Christ in fact have dwelled among sinners. We can imagine the worst of mankind but yet God in His mercy made the gift available to all. [All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23]

So the question remains, how do we actually get access to this gift of salvation offered by Christ?[John 3:16-17]

There is only one thing that we were asked for. The key and the very first step is to "Believe" in Jesus, that He

- died for our sins on the cross
- was resurrected on the 3rd day

Simple. Period. There is no washing ourselves of our habits and sinful life, being reverent, holy, nor being righteous as a requirement to receive this gift. No amount of work or effort of ours will propel us nearer to the door of salvation except through Him. [John 14:6]Victor Sam Justified

However, the call to live a righteous and holy life comes after knowing for a fact that our salvation came at a price. Our old ways are made dead through Christ's death, and we are resurrected anew as Christ is. In this manner, we strive to be obedient to the Word as we continue to be perfected in Christ through the workings of the Holy Spirit.[Sanctification]

Then why we struggle so much in living a righteous life? As long we are in our flesh, our flesh will war against our spirit. [Galatians 5:17]
It is unavoidable but our struggle often leads to defeat and failure, because we never surrendered completely to Holy Spirit, but rather pressed on by our own efforts and relying our own strength. We must lay plain our shame and weakness before God, and come as we are, not high and mighty but with much humility, defeated and broken. For God's power made perfect in our weakness! 2 Corinthians 12:9

So as we walk this earth in our divine pilgrimage, we are to keep our focus on the Lord and His commandments, striving our best to carry the love and image of Christ, sharing the good news of the gospel to All.

The event of the deadly shooting of Charlie Kirk swept us with a brotherly grief. Though nations and seas apart, we felt it because we are one body in Christ, and we resonated with the Truth that he carried in his heart. And the world needs Jesus more than ever! The courageous beacon that he ran with should not be extinguished, but rather carried courageously.
We should now march forward with courage in our faith, standing tall with the banner of the Lord! Saints gathering in the name of Jesus, becoming the last bastion and last hope,
carrying the mandate of the gospel, we shall rise to challenge
because Charlie Kirk would not be the last; many martyrs would fall as the end of the days approaches for the sake of the gospel.
