- [Born Again; How to Process the Ticket to Heaven](https://poweringrace.com/born-again-ticket-heaven/): If you are interested in taking a flight to the kingdom of God, then you will go through the process of born again. The issue of gaining heaven is not limited to confessing Jesus as Savior on the lips. Do not be deceived by the wrong teachings of the false teachers in the Christendom. They asked the new converts to repeat ‘salvation prayers’ after them and after the short prayer, they told the new converts that they are born again. No! To born again is not by the mouth, but by holy practical lifestyle through the authority of the Holy […]
- [Crucifixion of Jesus; How Important is the Cross?](https://poweringrace.com/crucifixion-jesus-important-cross/): Crucifixion of Jesus on the cross was more than a film show. And it was a calculated plan by God to redeem humanity. The crucifixion of Jesus on the cross took place more than two millennia ago. The Blood of Jesus that flowed at the Golgotha was mysterious, extraordinary, powerful and priceless. This edition will unfold the significance of the crucifixion of Jesus and the essence of the human sacrifice. And, I am sure you will gain more knowledge about the plan of God for the salvation of your life. Did God hate Adam and Eve? The disobedience of Adam […]
- [22 Signs of Mature Christians;Checklist for the Faithful Christian babes](https://poweringrace.com/22-signs-mature-christianschecklist-faithful-christian-babes/): Mature Christians are people who are no more confused by the tricks of the devil. They develop and grow in the obedience of the word of God daily. One of the attributes of mature Christians is synonymous to the story of a boy and his teacher: “A teacher of English Language was giving a dictation to the class. The students were asked to write the words dictated by the teacher. Those who write every letter correctly without any error in spelling would receive prize. The teacher started the test by announcing the first word – ‘peace’. The students began to […]
- [Persecution: A Powerful Tool for Evangelism! Don’t Fear!](https://poweringrace.com/persecution-powerful-tool-evangelism-dont-fear/): Persecution of the early Christians after the Day of Pentecost was dreadful and bloody. But, the deadly encounter did not discourage the disciples from evangelism. I want to use this medium to share with you the significance of persecution in evangelism: Is Persecution a Sin? The meaning of persecution is to pursue Christian in a way to afflict or put to death for proclaiming Jesus Christ as the savior of humanity. Jesus Christ was persecuted when on earth and He told us it was a Blessing. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom […]
- [5 Major Things the Church Should Start Doing!](https://poweringrace.com/5-major-things-church-start/): The church is the representative of Jesus Christ in this sinful world. Did you know the reasons for some people boycotting church attendance? Why do we have many unstable converts in the church today? I am blowing my trumpet through this article as a call to everyone in the Christendom to stand firmly for the corrective measures. The capacity of the church (with the power and grace of Jesus) can change the world! Listen to this statistics; According to the theological seminary database of Gordon-Conwell on Global Christianity: Denomination of Christian organization is 39,000 and the church congregations (worship centers) […]
- [Church: 5 Things the Church Should Stop Doing!](https://poweringrace.com/church-5-things-church-stop/): Church is a group of Christians that gather in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to worship God. I am worried about the trend of the church. Is Jesus Christ in the church of our generation? Can two masters control a home? Can the Spirit of God and the spirit of worldliness control the church? Barna conducted an analysis on the state of the church in 2016, and revealed that Americans are attending church less, and many are practicing their faith outside of its four walls. I am sure that other continents are experiencing similar trend. Today, I want […]
- [Renewing of your Mind: Is it Necessary?](https://poweringrace.com/renewing-mind-necessary/): Are you going through a tough time to get yourself stable in Christ? Then the solution is regular renewing of your mind. Renewing of your mind is synonymous to your phone or laptop that shows an intermittent pop-up message requesting for software update. If you fail to click the update button, then the gadget would be exposed to security threat. The failure to always renew the mind would expose Christians to threat of sinful lifestyle. Many years ago when I turned away from Satan, I found myself singing the worldly song “unconsciously”. I had a strong battle about this until […]
- [Armor of God: How to Put on the Spiritual Gadgets](https://poweringrace.com/armor-of-god-put-spiritual-gadgets/): Armor of God is a set of spiritual gadgets you put on to overcome the battle from the devil and his demonic forces. Many people do not want to experience any form of battle. They are pleased to accept Jesus Christ into their life as the Prince of Peace. But, it is written that every Christian must fight the devil. This post will reveal the right spiritual gadgets to put on, and how to possess the armor of God for a permanent victory. Ephesians chapter 6 verses 11 and 12 say: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you […]
- [Lukewarm Christian: God’s View and His Advice](https://poweringrace.com/lukewarm-christian-gods-view-advice/): Lukewarm Christian is someone who loves the Lord with a partial heart, and gives the other part of the heart to worldliness. The love for sins and things of the world (invented by Satan) is called worldliness. First John Chapter 2 verse 15 says: “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” The word “lukewarm Christian” refers to someone with an unstable identity in the presence of the LORD. I am led by the Lord to write this eye-opener content for His children. […]
- [Unforgivable Sin: How Terrible is Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?](https://poweringrace.com/unforgivable-sin-terrible-blasphemy-holy-spirit/): Unforgivable sin is an eternal sin that cannot be washed away by the Blood of Jesus. It is an intentional sin that blasphemes the Spirit of the Lord. This article explains the context, content and mind-set of Jesus for exempting blasphemy against the Holy Spirit from His Deed of Salvation. I love to read the passage as recorded in the book of Matthew. If you want a good understanding about this topic, then carefully read this passage: “Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man […]
- [Barren? 5 Secret Steps to Take for Childbirth!](https://poweringrace.com/barren-5-secret-steps-take-childbirth/): Barren Christians are not cowards, but they are the unique children of God that endure a tough trial of faith. A barren situation in marriage attracts external pressure from people, oppression, confusion and anxiety. But, I thank God that His power is above barrenness. The Lord’s first commandment to us is to give birth to children. The book of Genesis chapter 1 verse 27 and 28: “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and […]
- [8 Great Promises of God for You!!](https://poweringrace.com/8-great-promises-god/): Promises of God are His vows for you to enjoy your life on earth and in heaven. Everett Storms engaged in the count of God’s promises in the bible. It took him one and half years to come up with a total sum of 7,487 promises by God to man. This platform cannot explain all the promises of the Lord, but I will discuss some of the great promises with you today: 1. When you find it difficult to please God and the devil whispered the speech below for you: “It is impossible to be holy… it is not possible […]
- [Perfection: How to Become Perfect as God](https://poweringrace.com/perfection-become-perfect-god/): Jesus teaches His followers to be perfect as their Father in heaven is perfect. This teaching was not controversial in the midst of the disciples, because no one asked Jesus to explain the meaning. And no one argued with Him about the impossibility of the practical teachings. But, it is unfortunate that the teaching of perfection is a strong argument in our midst today. I always smile when people beside me say statements like: “It is impossible to be perfect like God… Human beings on earth cannot be perfect… You cannot be equal to God… Blasphemy! …etc.” My question to […]
- [Christian Award: Is it a Godly Ceremony in the Christendom?](https://poweringrace.com/christian-award-godly-ceremony-christendom/): Christian award is a prize given to a nominated Christian as the best performer of the gospel ministration. The organizers of the award presentation celebrate the achievement and innovations of the awardees. Can the award presenters play the role of Jehovah? This post will unveil the mind of God as regards Christian award. Though, it is widely acceptable in the Christendom, but, it is important you know the implication of giving an award, or receiving an award for the stewardship of the Gospel. I read the news posted by Kirsten Anderson titled: “Christian artists skip, walk out of ‘satanic’ Grammy […]
- [Spiritual Blindness: Greatest threat to the Christian!! 2](https://poweringrace.com/spiritual-blindness-greatest-threat-christian-2/): The latter part of this article reveals the secret strategies of the devil, and how to be healed from spiritual blindness. In the first part of this article, I mentioned the recruitment of false preachers by the devil as a means of pandemic spread of spiritual blindness. Listen to the view of Jesus about such teachers in the book of Matthew chapter 15: 13-14: “But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will […]
- [Spiritual Blindness: Greatest Threat to the Christians!! 1](https://poweringrace.com/spiritual-blindness-greatest-threat-christians-1/): Spiritual blindness is a major deformation affecting our generation at an unbelievable higher rate. I referred to spiritual blindness as a blind status of the human spiritual eyes. God created us in trinity; body, soul and spirit. And one of the functions of our spirit is to link us to God for communication. John chapter 4 verses 23 says: “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” Your spiritual eyes are more powerful than the physical eyes. The spiritual […]
- [Fasting: How to Avoid Waste of Energy and Time!](https://poweringrace.com/fasting-avoid-waste-energy-time/): Fasting involves depriving your body the regular enjoyment for a special spiritual meeting with the Lord. Fasting is not an easy task for the body, because it involves starvation, abstinence from sex (for married couples) and seclusion from social gatherings. I chose to write on this topic, because my findings in the mission field reveals that seven in every ten Christians who claimed to fast suffered ‘hunger strike’. Understand the act of fasting The reason for fasting is to humble the flesh. It allows strict discipline to the body during your special meeting with the Lord. Fasting disallows distraction from […]
- [10 Ways to Read and Understand the Bible](https://poweringrace.com/10-ways-read-understand-bible/): The Bible is undoubtedly a mysterious Book that unfolds the solutions to all problems and challenges. The understanding I got from the Bible shows that it is the only Book that consistently expresses the personality of God. The Bible explains your purpose on earth and the right direction to live a successful life. It guides you on how to enjoy peaceful eternity. But, it is unfortunate that Bible illiteracy is increasing every day in the church. The Bible in America, a new report from American Bible Society and Barma group, revealed that: In 2016, 71 percent of practicing Catholics and […]
- [Beautiful Heaven: Shocking Description of God’s Kingdom!](https://poweringrace.com/beautiful-heaven-shocking-description-gods-kingdom/): The Lord promised to give every obedient Christian an eternity in His beautiful Heaven. The following questions might be bothering your heart; how does Heaven look like…? Who can describe the kingdom of God…? This article unveiled the answers to these questions, and you will enjoy more scriptural description of the beautiful Heaven. I ‘stand on the Rock’ to be a living witness of the genuineness of Heaven. I am privileged to see a glimpse of the kingdom of God some years ago. The breath in God’s beautiful Heaven is peace. Comparatively, the oxygen we breathe on earth is like […]
- [Test from God: What is the Significance of Spiritual Trial?](https://poweringrace.com/test-god-significance-spiritual-trial/): It is inevitable that every Christian must go through the test from the Lord. Our God is merciful and He loves us. Every test from the Lord is for us to know the status of our strength in Him. Test is a reflecting mirror which shows your true stand in God. I remembered the story of Lisa Ross. In a matter of days her comfortable world was shaken and she referred to the situation as a faith test; Her husband had a car accident; she was diagnosed with a terrible disease after spending more than six hours in the emergency […]
- [Crown: The Golden Reward for Christians](https://poweringrace.com/crown-golden-reward-christians/): Crown is an object of honor and authority. The faithful children of God who did not misuse the grace of God would receive eternal crowns in Heaven. The golden crowns are designed for Christians who obey the rules of God. Golden crowns await the genuine Christians in heaven. Thus, all your commitment to godliness is not a waste of time and effort. I am confident to share this message with you, because I enjoyed the privilege to see the beauty of heaven. Is Crown available in Heaven? Don’t doubt this wonderful gift in Heaven. God is not a man that […]
- [Witchcraft in the Church: 5 Ways to Defeat Rebellious Spirit](https://poweringrace.com/witchcraft-church-5-ways-defeat-rebellious-spirit/): Witchcraft is a spiritual practice that makes the practitioner to receive power from the spirit realm for ‘good’ and evil purposes. God is the source of power, and He gives all His creatures a form of power to survive the existence of life. Lucifer received a remarkable power in heaven, but he rebelled against God with the attempt to over-throw the Mighty Throne. Other powerful angels fought against Lucifer and he was chased from heaven to the earth. And his name changed from Lucifer to Satan, the evil one. Prophet Isaiah revealed devil’s intention: “…How you are fallen from heaven, […]
- [Law of Jesus versus Law of Moses 2](https://poweringrace.com/law-jesus-versus-law-moses-2/): The law of Jesus is more dynamic than the law of Moses. I discovered that Jesus Christ did not want His followers to live a nonchalant and undisciplined lifestyle. So, He updated the law of Moses for the New Testament believers. A lot of people do not like to hear that they are under the law. They love to quote Galatians chapter 5 verses 18: “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” The translation of verse 18 in the content and context of Galatians chapter 5 is that, once you give your life […]
- [Law of Jesus versus Law of Moses 1](https://poweringrace.com/law-jesus-versus-law-moses-1/): Law of Jesus and Law of Moses originated from the same Legislative Office. But, the law of Jesus is an updated version of the Mosaic Law. I heard preachers in the church and on media preaching to me that I am no more under the law. I got confused because if I’m no more under the law that says: “Thou shall not steal”, then do I have the liberty to steal from the church’s offering box? During my personal Bible study today, I asked the Holy Spirit if Christians are under the law. If yes; which of the laws applies […]
- [Narrow Gate: Is the Way to Heaven a Rough One?](https://poweringrace.com/narrow-gate-way-heaven-rough-one/): Jesus Christ used the word ‘narrow gate’ to describe the ‘tough’ process involved in staying fit on the track to Heaven.  When One of the faithful followers of Jesus compared the popular lifestyles of people to the teachings of Jesus Christ, he asked Jesus: “Lord, are there few who are saved?” Jesus was not surprised about the question and He replied: “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you will seek to enter and will not be able”. (Luke 13:23-24) Is the Narrow Gate an Easy Task? The message on many pulpits contradicts Jesus’ response […]
- [Temple of God: What Does it has to do with My Body?](https://poweringrace.com/temple-god-body/): The temple of God is a sacred place of worship filled with the awesome presence of the Lord. God designed two types of temple. The first one is made from materials (structures of heaven and church buildings on earth). And the second type of temple is constructed through His breath (the body of Angels and Man). The main purpose of creation is to worship God in praises. Psalm 66 verse 4 says: “All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Why did God create our body as a form of […]
- [Christian Race: How to Avoid Falling Away!!](https://poweringrace.com/christian-race-avoid-falling-away/): Christian race is a lifestyle that is tasking and it is worthwhile because the umpire of the race is Jesus Christ. The beauty of the Christian race is that it has a finish line and the winners shall be rewarded with beautiful mansions and eternal peace in heaven. I had an interesting experience on track events during my primary school inter-house sport. My dad trained me to always obey the rules of the race; to hear the gunshot before moving, to focus on the finish line, to move fast with all my strength, and never to look back. During the […]
- [How to Enjoy the Healing Power of God](https://poweringrace.com/enjoy-healing-power-god/): The healing power of God is important for the joyful life of every human being. Sickness and diseases are rampant and everyone wants an escape from the threat. The healing power of God is the only reliable source for solving your health issues. In nearly all EU member states, circulatory diseases were the most common main diagnosis for in-patient. While, the two most common main diagnoses for day care patients were neoplasms (benign or malignant cancers) and diseases of the genitourinary system. The rare exceptions to this were: Ireland and the United Kingdom, where pregnancy and childbirth was the most […]
- [Prayer: 5 Ways to Get Your Requests Answered!](https://poweringrace.com/prayer-5-ways-get-requests-answered/): Prayer is not only begging for God’s intervention, but also a channel of acknowledging the greatness of God. Prayer is a vital medium of getting supernatural results. Some people’s prayers go unanswered due to some irregularities. But, don’t lose hope in prayers to God. According to a 2014 Pew Research center survey, 55% of Americans said they pray every day. 21% said they pray weekly and 23% said they seldom pray. It is interesting to discover that Americans ages 65 and older are far more likely than adults under 30 to say they pray daily (65% vs 41%). I want […]
- [RAPTURE: How to Get Prepared for the Second Coming](https://poweringrace.com/rapture-get-prepared-second-coming/): The Rapture is a “designed technology” by God to airlift the Christians to meet Jesus – an escape route from deadly tribulations. Rapture is derived from the Latin word ‘raptus’ and it means: “a carrying off”. There are different teachings about the rapture and its timing. The pre-tribulation, during-tribulation and post-tribulation doctrines are causing a lot of confusion. I am not introducing a new teaching about the rapture, but I want to show you the clarity on this topic. Is Rapture a Real Future Event? The failed predictions of the end-time by some people such as: John Wesley 1836, Margaret […]
- [Second Death: How real is Eternal Punishment?](https://poweringrace.com/second-death-real-eternal-punishment/): Second death sounds scary, but not as fearful as the first death! The good news is that second death is not for everybody. No one has ever experienced the second death. So, there is no statistical report to show the world about the reality of the second death. Thus, a lot of people are confused, but I had a divine revelation about this topic which will interest you to know. I had a prophetic vision from God on the first day of September 2003. “I noticed from afar that some guards surrounded a white throne. They raised their voices to […]
- [Love of Jehovah: 5 Things His love Cannot Do](https://poweringrace.com/love-of-jehovah-5-things-his-love-cannot-do/): The love of Jehovah is massive and incomparable to the love of man. You might wonder why this enormous love of God could not prove itself in some situations. I remembered an old story of a king and his slave. “The king, who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: “My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes!” One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his […]
- [Why is Christian Youths Abandoning Faith in Christ?](https://poweringrace.com/christian-youths-abandoning-faith-christ/): The Barna group conducted a survey to study the trend of Christian youths abandoning their faith. George Barna said: “A majority of twenty-something – 61% of today’s young adults-had been churched at one point during their teen years, but they are now spiritually disengaged (that is, not actively attending church, reading the Bible, or praying).” My heart breaks when I saw the trend at which the Christian youths abandon their faith in Jesus Christ. God is not pleased with the level of unfaithfulness and hypocrisy in the midst of the Christian youths. When the Lord called me to be one […]
- [20 Works of the Flesh You Must Not Do!](https://poweringrace.com/20-works-of-the-flesh-you-must-not-do/): Works of the flesh are like an ‘occupation’ that looks attractive to the employee, but the wages paid for it is death. Many years ago, I was engaged in various forms of works of the flesh. I felt on top of the world when I engaged myself in the works of the flesh. But, I will never forget the night when devil decided to pay me the wages for the works of the flesh I did from my childhood. It was a deadly night, but the grace of Jesus saved me. And the Lord gave me a second chance. Works […]
- [Fruit of the Spirit: Spiritual meal for Christians](https://poweringrace.com/fruit-of-the-spirit/): Fruit of the Spirit is essential for the healthy growth of our spiritual being. It is synonymous to the fruits we eat before or after meal. The Food Nutritionists explained various micro nutrients in fruits that are essential for the good health of our body. For instance, orange is a good source of vitamin C, banana regulates the bowel and controls obesity, coconut supports immune system to avoid incessant infection in the body. I had tried eating fruits daily and it really keeps the doctor away… What are the fruit of the Spirit? I am sure no one will give […]
- [Do My Spiritual Gifts Guarantee Heaven?](https://poweringrace.com/spiritual-gifts-guarantee-heaven/): Spiritual gifts are divine attributes given to you by the LORD to attract unbelievers to the gospel. Gifts from the LORD are for evangelism, while gaining heaven is about living a holy life embedded in the Salvation of the LORD. Today’s message would explain how spiritual gift is not enough to secure one’s entry to eternal enjoyment in heaven.  What is the Essence of Spiritual Gifts? Spiritual gifts are supernatural abilities given to you by God. The main significance of spiritual gifts is to uphold the expression of God’s love for humanity. God is the Sole Giver of spiritual gifts. […]
- [How to Get Christian Wealth](https://poweringrace.com/get-christian-wealth/): Peaceful wealth comes from the LORD and everyone wants to be rich! Why is it impossible for everyone to be wealthy? Why is it difficult to lay your hands on the master key that opens the doors of money? You may have questions and I also have questions too. But it does not change the fact that riches comes from the LORD.   The number of millionaires (in U.S. dollar terms) globally reached 19.6 million, and their cumulative wealth stood at US$74 trillion, according to the World Wealth Report 2020 released by Capgemini, a Paris-based consultancy and technology services firm. New […]
- [Resurrection! The Secret of Jesus](https://poweringrace.com/resurrection-secret-jesus/): Resurrection of Jesus Christ was a supernatural event which completed the hopeful salvation and enjoyment of eternity for every believer. His process of resurrection was incomprehensible and non-scientific. The enemies of the true gospel found it difficult to believe the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, they bribed the soldiers to spread the false news. Matthew chapter 28 verses 11 to 15 says: “Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave […]
- [Entertainment: Risk of Losing Heaven?](https://poweringrace.com/entertainment-risk-losing-heaven/): Entertainment is all about fun and relaxation, but how safe is this activity for Christians? I compared the present Christian entertainment to the scriptural standard and I noticed some interesting outcomes. It’s unfortunate that the Christendom is embracing all forms of entertainment established by the unbelievers. The liberty we enjoy in the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ does not give us the freedom to accept whatever form of worldly entertainment. The Bible warned us to scrutinize our actions. Romans chapter 12 verse 1 and 2 says: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present […]
- [Anointing Oil and the Miracle Workers](https://poweringrace.com/anointing-oil-miracle-workers/): It is good to talk about anointing oil and its significance to Christians of the New Testament. I attended some crusades and noticed some Christians do not understand the use of anointing oil. Today’s message would give you good understanding about God’s view on oil and how to be careful with the false prophets. The Origin of Anointing Oil The Jewish tradition uses olive oil for various benefits, but anointing oil became significant during the Exodus. God instructed the use of anointing oil as one of the unique materials for the priest and the tabernacle. God originated the first formulation […]
- [How good is Gambling for Christians?](https://poweringrace.com/how-good-is-gambling-for-christians-2/): Gambling is a risky action that involves getting gain from the loss of others. Over 80% of Australian adults are said to be gamblers, which is also the highest rate in the world. 75% of adults gamble in UK and 80% of American. Approximately 1.6 billion people gamble across the world during any given year and over 4.2 billion gamble at least once every year. It is a shocking revelation that some Christians take part in lotteries, slot machines, horse or dog racing, Irish sweepstakes, roulette wheels, poker, flipping a coin, church bingo, and sport betting.   Gambling in the […]
- [Is Purgatory a Real Place? Find Out!](https://poweringrace.com/is-purgatory-a-real-place/): Purgatory was a laughing stuff to me, but I chose to take it serious when I discovered the level of havoc it caused to the faith of some new Christian converts. The sponsors of this false teaching used the tools of scriptural misconceptions and after-life testimonies to deceive people that purgatory is real. Testimony of a Catholic Priest My heart ached when I read this testimony of a catholic priest: “On Sunday April 14, 1985, the Feast of the Divine Mercy, I was going to celebrate Mass at a mission church in the north part of Kerala, and I had […]
- [Worry: 5 Ways to Control Anxiety](https://poweringrace.com/worry-5-ways-to-control-anxiety/): Worry signifies a troubled mind which leads to mental uneasiness called anxiety. Worry might be harmless when you have the power to solve the situation. But, it becomes harmful when the condition is not under your control.   Researchers at the University of Queensland conducted surveys across 91 countries in the world. More than 480,000 people were involved and the outcome showed that globally, 1 in 13 suffers from anxiety. Worry hooks you through your thinking faculty, when you encounter issues of life that has no instant solutions.   I subjected myself to worries some years ago, but I was […]
- [Fear of Death: 5 Ways to Overcome Death](https://poweringrace.com/fear-of-death-5-ways-to-overcome-death/): One day a young man asked his Master, “I do experience fear of death. How can I get rid of this fear?” “Tell me,” the old man answered, “When you borrow a few coins, are you afraid to give them later back?” “Of course not,” the student answered with surprise, “but what does this have to do with my fear?”   The teacher picked up a small piece of soil from the ground and continued, “You have received your body in debt with required return. And every bite of bread eaten by you, every sip of water drank by you […]
- [How good is Abortion for Christians?](https://poweringrace.com/how-good-is-abortion-for-christians-2/): Induced abortion is a deliberate termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus resulting to death.  I was interested in this topic when I stumbled on the statistical figures below: In 2014, Planned Parenthood wasted the lives of 327,653 babies in the United States. And most women that engaged in the abortion claimed to be Christians. Protestant and catholic women got 42% and 27%. About 18% of all induced evacuation of fetus in the United States each year are performed on teenagers. According to World Health Organization, every year in the world […]
- [Spiritual Warfare: 5 Ways to Defeat Your Enemies](https://poweringrace.com/spiritual-warfare-5-ways-to-defeat-your-enemies/): Spiritual warfare is an invisible battle that does not need the use of a AK 47 rifle. It is one of the miseries of life that needs divine understanding. God created us to have three different forms; the body, soul and spirit. And He created the earth (Physical realm) for our body to be in-charge. God created the heavens (spiritual realm) for the spirit to be in-charge. The origin of spiritual warfare started when Satan and other rebellious angels were chased out of heaven. Revelation chapter 12 verse 7 to 9 says: “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and […]
- [Christmas: Are you sure it is for the Christians?](https://poweringrace.com/christmas-are-you-sure-it-is-for-the-christians/): Christmas day has always been an annual festival celebrated by Christians across the world. Christmas season is characterized with the fun of various music, new attractive clothes and shoes, fireworks, decorations, feasting, exchange of gifts and so on. But, I became uneasy when I read through the Bible without locating any verse that points to the Christmas festival. No verse in the Bible mentioned the birthday of Jesus to be 25th December. No verse in the Bible instructs Christians to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. I had noticed a lot of ‘mixed-up’ in the Christendom and promised myself not to […]
- [Did you see Christians as Disciple of Jesus today?](https://poweringrace.com/did-you-see-christians-as-disciple-of-jesus-today/): The disciples of Jesus are people who surrender their lives to the LORD. The difference between a disciple and an apostle is that the former is a follower of Jesus, while the latter is a special messenger of Jesus Christ. If you believe and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ, then you are a disciple. Research by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace had revealed that the disciples of Jesus (Christians) are increasing at 1.32%. Christian population in 2013 is 1.99 Billion and 2.21 Billion across the world in 2014. The disciple of Jesus is leading the global population at 32%. […]
- [Is Sabbath Day Compulsory for Christians?](https://poweringrace.com/is-sabbath-day-compulsory-for-christians/): Sabbath day is the first holiday on earth. And God the creator of all creations declared the seventh day to be free from work. The observance of Sabbath day had become a controversial issue across the world. I became interested in the significance of Sabbath day when the doctor told me that my terrible body weakness was as a result of inadequate rest. The little findings I did showed that the people who rest on the Sabbath day had less occurrence of body ailments when compared to people that don’t rest.   What Day is the Sabbath? God created seven […]
- [Terrorists: Great Tribulation of the End Time](https://poweringrace.com/terrorists-great-tribulation-of-the-end-time-2/): It is unfortunate that the terrorists are part of the fulfilment of the prophecy related to the great tribulation. Terrorism across the world is a serious threat to the survival of Christians in the last three decades. Terrorists are the soldiers of devil and they have the intention to kill Christians and hinder the spread of the gospel. Jesus knew that the terrorists would come on board. So, He encouraged us in the book of John chapter 16 verses 33: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have […]
- [Bible study: 7 Reasons to Personally Study the Bible](https://poweringrace.com/bible-study-7-reasons-to-personally-study-the-bible/): Bible study is the act of digesting the word of God in your heart for a healthy spiritual growth. It is unfortunate that the Christians across the world could not tackle the rise in abominable acts in the societies. Why? The significance of personal Bible Study got diminished!! We need to promote private Bible Studies. The 2012 online survey of Life-Way Research shows that only 19% of churchgoers personally (not as part of a church worship service) read the Bible every day. But the shocking statistics for 2014 conducted by the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture […]
- [Love of God and its Counterfeit](https://poweringrace.com/love-of-god-and-its-counterfeit-2/): Love of God is the basis for our salvation from eternal punishment. But it is painful that some preachers monetised the Gospel to present a counterfeit love of God to people. You don’t have to pay a single cent to enjoy the love of God….   The love of God is available for sinners to repent from their evil lifestyles. And it is also available for the believers to sustain their fellowship in Jesus Christ. God is love and it is dangerous to take the love of God for granted?   My concern is that the love of God suffers […]
- [Forgiveness: How to Forgive and Forget](https://poweringrace.com/forgiveness-how-to-forgive-and-forget/): Forgiveness is the ability to heal a wounded heart.

On the third day of the exam, I could not leave my room because I had no energy to lift myself. I did not have the imagination of going to the […]

(Genesis 14:17-20). The Lord gave the law of tithing to the Israelite, so that they can imbibe the habit of giving to the needy. (Numbers 18:26) I chose to write on tithing, because of the growing numbers of new converts in the church whose faith had being affected by the exaggerated teachings of some greedy Preachers. Tithing has nothing to do with your salvation in Jesus Christ.   What does the Bible Say about Tithing? God adopted the strategy of […]

- [10 Ways to Overcome Temptation](https://poweringrace.com/10-ways-to-overcome-temptation-3/): Temptation is described as the desire to do something that is against the righteousness of God. Satan is the master-tempter of humanity, and his intention is to make us lose the glorious relationship with God. I discovered that in every hundred temptations that comes my way, less than ten tends towards doing something harmful to my neighbor. Thus, temptation always appears to be something enticing to do.   Our mind is always the channel through which devil introduces temptation to us. The book of James chapter 1, verse 13 and 14 says: “Let no one say when he is tempted, […]

Jesting (twisting stories) is not uncommon in the Christendom. Jokes had become so famous that there are many websites updating ‘online Christian jokes’.

When I gave my life to Christ, I never heard a pastor preach against my clown lifestyle, so I thought jesting was a good talent for the congregation. One day, I was […]

There are arguments about the reality of the end-time. Some people said that this world will exist forever, while some argued that it may probably be destroyed by the meteorites in the space. Late Harold Camping was so mathematical about the end-time prophecy, and he fixed dates for the end of the world (September 6, 1994 and May 21, 2011). But his predictions failed several times, thereby misleading a lot of people. Is Jesus’ end-time prophecy true or false? […]

After a hot political argument between the couple, the wife was angry and she went to the kitchen for one of her sharp knives. She stabbed her husband to death. The wife committed this murderous act because […]

The preaching of these false teachers implies that you can simultaneously be a Christian and a sinner to gain heaven. What a contradictory expression!! The pattern of God’s salvation in the Old Testament involved a lot of ceremonial and sacrificial laws which were referred to as ‘works’ in the New Testament. But, the pattern of God’s salvation […]

- [How would the Judgment Day look like?](https://poweringrace.com/how-would-the-judgment-day-look-like-2/): Some people thought that there won’t be any moment called the judgment day. The Atheists believe there is no Judge, so the judgment day is a mirage. In Jainism and Buddhism there is no judgment day because they believe in re-incarnation after death. Some Pastors in the Christendom teach their members that the great judgment day is for the sinners only, is that true? Previously, I joined the school of thought that God so loves and cannot pass an incredible judgment on human beings. But, I was enlightened when the Lord revealed the great vision below to me: Vision as […]

Someone can be anointed by the Lord, but not saved by the Blood of Jesus. The essence of this message today is to clarify the difference between anointing and salvation. I noticed that a lot of Christians suffer ‘big wounds’ in their heart when they hear the story about some powerful Pastors misbehaving in the church. Many people lost their faith in Christ due to the questionable attitude of their anointed Pastors. Jesus is not pleased with such circumstances. “Then said He unto the disciples, it is impossible but that offences will come: […]

Many medical experts say moderate masturbation is good, but it is difficult to measure a moderate masturbation. Thus, they are guilty of their claims! Many Pastors in the church and the Evangelists in the field kept quiet on this disturbing topic. Is their silence a support to the practice? I searched through the Bible, but I can’t find the word ‘masturbation’. Does that mean the Lord never bothered about masturbation? Research has found that among adolescents aged 14–17 years in the United States, around 74 percent of males and 48 percent of females […]

But, it is so worrisome that the church and society are morally degenerating. The reason is not far fetch! The number of Christian wife is reducing daily!! God instituted marriage by giving Adam a wife (not wives, and not same-sex marriage), who would be a helper to her husband. The significance of a Christian wife at home can never be underestimated. Christian wives are the salt of the Christian homes. “If the salt loses its power, it becomes contaminated sand”. Today’s message reveals the cogent points needed for […]

The first step towards personal conviction involves listening to a statement or observing a practice. The second step requires deep thought about such issue, and the last step towards a personal conviction is making a favorable choice that suits you. There are lots of unnecessary differences among us in the Christendom. And at a point I wonder if we are all serving the same Lord Jesus Christ? It is difficult to find a ‘common ground’ on many issues springing up in our midst. The argument […]

- [Family Altar: 6 Benefits of Family Devotion](https://poweringrace.com/family-altar-6-benefits-family-devotion/): Family altar is the assembly of the people who have a ‘common blood’ and a ‘common heart’ in the presence of the LORD. It is not about the construction of a tall table, or positioning a big stone at the corner of the bedroom. I love this quote by Oswald Chambers: “You must be willing to be placed on the altar and go through the fire, willing to experience what the altar represent-burning, purification, and separation for only one purpose-the elimination of every desire and affection not grounded in or directed towards God. But you do not eliminate it, God […]

Examples of makeup are; lipsticks, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, rouge etc. I was astonished to know that the global cosmetics market was 460 billion USD in 2014 and it is estimated to reach 675 billion USD by 2020, growing at a rate of 6.4%.

- [God: ‘Tell Me Strange Things about Jehovah’](https://poweringrace.com/god-tell-strange-things-jehovah/): God is more than the alphabets. There are diverse schools of thought about the subject, God; in theism, God is creator and controller of the world.

In today’s message, I will tell you more about God without exaggeration. The LORD wants His children to know more about His greatness. For instance, He revealed Himself to Enoch, Abraham, Moses and the Prophets. I am also a partaker in the […]

Can you analyze the significance of this volume? I heard a story about a woman who invited her friends for […]
- [Spiritual Adultery; Attractive Bait in the Church!](https://poweringrace.com/spiritual-adultery/): Spiritual adultery occurs when a Christian falls in love with things of the world. I remembered when I was in a courtship with my wife; we deliberated on how to sustain a lifetime partnership. One day, I solemnly made a vow to her that I won’t cheat her, and I would be faithful to her in all circumstances of life. She repeated the vow, but I interrupted her with a mind filled with jealous and I said: “Uh! I will use a machete to cut off the head of any man trying to take you away from me.” I was […]

I changed my course of study to know the virtue of righteousness, and I would like to share my findings with you today.

- [Old Self! : How to defeat your Old-Man!!](https://poweringrace.com/old-self-defeat-old-man/): Old self is your personality that loves to do things in your own way without considering the opinion of the Lord. Old self or old man does not live to please God. The old-man hates the rules from the Lord, but loves everything about the world. Old self is the rebellious nature which is not acceptable by the Lord. So, the teachings of Jesus Christ, His death and Resurrection are events that give New Life or New Man to all believers. Everyone must put away the old self before enjoying the salvation of Jesus Christ. I give God the glory […]

I love him so much, but my prayers could not stop death from taken him to heaven. God answered my prayers to raise two people from death on different occasions. But, the prayers for my late son to come back to life went unanswered… I mourned him for a year, […]

Church is the gathering of at least two people.
