At one point or another in our lives, we find ourselves faced—whether we like it or not—with a relational conflict. This conflict may be within the family, among friends, or simply in any kind of relationship. Much peace, time, energy, and money have been lost because of these kinds of conflicts. Let’s not allow all […]
“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.“ — Romans 12:19 Some Christians read this kind of verse and wish for God to send punishment on those who have hurt them. But that is not […]
Back then, we were driving an old fluorescent orange Volkswagen, which my pastor’s wife had nicknamed “Mandarine.” We were spotted from far away in town, and none of our movements could go unnoticed. On top of that, it backfired cheerfully, which didn’t exactly add to the discretion of the setup. The worst part was starting […]
“Two hundred men from Jerusalem, invited by Absalom, went in good faith with him, without suspecting his intentions…“ 2 Samuel 15:11 Absalom orchestrated his coup by involving people who were unaware of his true intentions. Sometimes, the sheep are surrounded by ill-intentioned people, and they must remain vigilant to avoid being caught in a trap. […]
This may be a surprising point, but it is a common administrative mistake to hire Christians. I am not referring here to hiring Christians in spiritual leadership roles, such as pastors or worship leaders, but rather to hiring or employing non-professional Christians in fields like construction or renovation, for example, in order to save money.

Individual intercession is a prayer made by a single person. We are called to intercede alone as well for our families, our churches, etc. If you understand these things, you will easily pray for your husband, your wife, etc. “Epaphras, who is one of you, greets you: a servant of Jesus Christ, always struggling on […]
From a biblical perspective, it would not be incorrect to say that an intercessor is similar to a lawyer. The Greek word translated as “lawyer” means: Someone who is called to help, to comfort. The same Greek word is also translated as “comforter.” This is what Jesus refers to when He speaks of the Holy […]
The Parole de Vie and Parole Vivante versions say, “I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel“. 1) A watchman has the ability to see clearly what is happening. Let’s read 1 Samuel 14:16:“Saul’s watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin saw the multitude dispersing and scattering in all directions.“ Many Christians are unable […]
As children of God, we are called to intercede for the saints (Ephesians 6:18), which means carrying one another’s burdens in prayer. Intercession is exclusively Christian because only the redeemed—those who have received the free salvation of Jesus Christ—can bear in their hearts the burden of the lost or those who suffer. We Christians are […]
