From Deception to Devotion: The Legacy of King Saul Introduction: The concept of a covenant, a sacred agreement between God and humanity, has deep roots in the Bible. One of the most profound developments in this divine relationship is the establishment of the New Covenant. The New Covenant is not just a continuation of the old but a transformation of it, offering a deeper and more intimate connection with God. In this article, we'll explore the journey from King Saul's misstep to the institution of the New Covenant by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the call to honor and participate in this remarkable covenant. 1. King Saul's Covenant and the Consequence (Joshua 9 and 2 Samuel 21): Our story begins in the book of Joshua (Joshua 9), where we encounter an intriguing event. The Gibeonites, a neighboring people, employed a clever ruse to secure their safety by entering into a covenant with the Israelites. Despite the deception, the Israelite leaders, including Joshua,

Rivers of Hope My Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I trust this message finds you well and that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is abounding in your lives. Today, I want to reiterate the profound truth that Jesus is our unwavering ROCK, the eternal source of living water that not only quenches our spiritual thirst but rejuvenates our souls, even in the face of negative connotations surrounding water. In our spiritual journey, we may have come across Bible passages where water symbolizes both challenges and blessings within our faith. Just as in the Bible, we've witnessed how water embodies both the trials and triumphs of our spiritual sojourn: 1. Flood Waters (Genesis 7:17-24):    The great flood in Noah's time was a cataclysmic event, bringing destruction and judgment. However, Christ serves as our refuge, akin to the ark, offering salvation, protection, and a shelter from life's fiercest storms. 2. Bitter Waters at Marah (Exodus 15:22-25):    The bitter waters a

Welcome to Your New Month of November 2023. Dear Believers, Greetings in the name of our Lord Almighty. As we enter the month of November 2023, I want to share with you a reflection on the significance of the number eleven in the Bible and how it can inspire us in our faith journey. In the Bible, the number eleven is associated with both disorder, chaos, and judgment, as well as a rise to power. The story of Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, exemplifies this duality. His life was marked by trials and tribulations, including betrayal by his own brothers, enslavement, and unjust imprisonment. Yet, in the end, Joseph's faith, integrity, and God's providence led him to rise to power as the second-in-command in Egypt. Joseph's journey reminds us that even in times of disorder and chaos, when we face trials and judgment from the world, we must hold onto our faith and trust in the Lord Almighty. Just as Joseph's rise to power was ordained by God, we too may experience moments

  The Cross as Our Ark: Symbols of Redemption and Deliverance Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, May the grace of our Lord be with you. Today, I want to share a message that highlights the divine plan of salvation, as seen in the stories of Genesis, Exodus, and the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. In the book of Genesis, we witness the beginning of God's saving work. The story of Noah's ark (Genesis 6:14-18) reveals how God provided an ark to protect Noah, his family, and the creatures from the impending flood. This mirrors the safety and shelter we find in the Cross of Christ. Fast-forward to the time of Pharaoh in the book of Exodus. Pharaoh was chosen by the Osiris god to issue a decree to harm the Israelites, specifically through the scarification of their male babies. Yet, in a stunning turn of events, God's divine plan emerged. Pharaoh's daughter, while performing her morning ritual at the Nile, became the instrument of God's grace (Exodus 2:5-6). Just as P
