PRAYER DAY
Prayer day 1985: what a great privilege, when the Lord, in spite of all our transgressions, allows us to bring the needs of our people, church, families, society, and our daily work, before His countenance to ask for an undeserved blessing; also for us in a new country, with different circumstanc ...
The Work of Man or the Work of God
Acts 5:38 & 39 As witnesses of the gospel which the Lord had entrusted to them, the apostles were speaking of God and His Word, but the effect of their preaching was entirely different from that on the day of Pentecost. There three thousand people were pricked ...
True Following of Christ
The Lord is the unchangeable and faithful God, but people may be very changeable, as you can see in this chapter. In the morning, many people crossed the sea to see the Lord Jesus, but now they turned their backs upon Him. He had spoken about the bread of life and that He would give them His fles ...
Christ Glorified
This is a proclamation of the work of the Spirit. The Lord Jesus spoke these words before His departure. First He said to His disciples in verse 12 that He had many things to say unto them, but they were yet unable to bear them. However, the Lord Jesus would send another Comforter, His Representa ...
Asaph’s Pleading Ground
The Lord has given His promise that He will not forget His inheritance. “For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever” (Psalm 9:18).

God’s House
The prophet speaks of the glory of God’s house. It will be a house of prayer for all people. The Lord Himself will bring them to His holy mountain, the place where the temple, God’s house, was built. Their sacrifices would be accepted by the Lord, and they would serve Him in the fear of His Name. ...
Where Are the Nine?
In this history we read of ten lepers. It is difficult to conceive any condition more miserable than that of men who were afflicted with this leprosy. They were cast out from society and cut off from all communion with their fellow-beings. The destroying power of the disease affected every member ...
Good Friday
The prophet Zechariah’s prophesies are full of the promises of the coming Messiah. In that day a fountain will be opened for pardon and impurity. Gracious promises of grace and forgiveness are given to a guilty people. Although many will despise this fountain, yet there will be a remnant that wil ...
Sufficient Grace
The apostle had to defend his office as an apostle. He spoke of the authority he received from God and of his suffering for the gospel. He also mentioned how he was caught up into paradise and received an inexpressible blessing, which was an evidence of the favor of God to him as an apostle. ...
The Power of the Name of Christ
Peter traveled to various young churches and conducted church visitation. Thus he also came to the saints at Lydda, a town about ten miles from the Mediterranean coast. There he found a poor, paralyzed man named Aeneas. There were no healing medicines for this man. It was a hopeless case for eart ...
