Joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness is fleeting and dependent on our circumstances, while joy is rooted in the presence of God. Jesus explains that when we focus on Him, joy fills our hearts, even when life is hard. Psalm 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” We are reminded that in God’...  Read More

Leaders Who Last: A Godly definition of successWe must define the win. If the win is defined by the world, such as, money, fame, numbers (alone), your sense of mission will wane with time and pressure.John 15:4,5 says, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Wh...  Read More

القادة الذين يدومون: تعريف إلهي للنجاحيجب أن نحدد ما هو الفوز. إذا تم تعريف الفوز بمعايير العالم، مثل المال، الشهرة، الأرقام (وحدها)، فإن إحساسك بالرسالة سيتضاءل مع الوقت والضغط.يقول يوحنا 15: 4-5، "اُثْبُتُوا فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ. كَمَا أَنَّ الْغُصْنَ لاَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِثَمَرٍ مِنْ ذَاتِهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي الْكَرْمَةِ، كَذلِكَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا إِنْ لَمْ تَثْبُتُوا فِيَّ. أَنَا ا...  Read More

वे अगुवे जो टिके रहते हैं: सफलता की एक ईश्वरीय परिभाषाहमें जीत को परिभाषित करना होगा। यदि जीत को दुनिया के अनुसार परिभाषित किया जाता है, जैसे कि, पैसा, प्रसिद्धि, संख्या (अकेले), तो समय और दबाव के साथ आपका मिशन का भाव कम हो जाएगा।यूहन्ना 15:4,5 कहता है, “तुम मुझ में बने रहो, और मैं तुम में। जैसे डाली यदि दाखलता में बनी न रहे, तो अपने आप से फल नहीं ला सकती, वैसे ही तुम भी यदि मुझ में बने न रहो, तो ...  Read More

Líderes que Duram: Uma definição piedosa de sucessoDevemos definir a vitória. Se a vitória for definida pelo mundo, por exemplo, por dinheiro, fama, números (por si só), seu senso de missão diminuirá com o tempo e a pressão.João 15:4,5 diz: “Permanecei em mim, e eu permanecerei em vós. Como o ramo não pode dar fruto por si mesmo, se não permanecer na videira, assim também vós não podeis dar fruto,...  Read More

Lideri care rezistă: O definiție divină a succesuluiTrebuie să definim victoria. Dacă victoria este definită de lume, prin lucruri precum bani, faimă, numere (în sine), simțul misiunii tale se va diminua în timp, sub presiune.Ioan 15:4,5 spune: „Rămâneți în Mine, și Eu voi rămâne în voi. După cum mlădița nu poate aduce rod de la sine, dacă nu rămâne în viță, tot așa, nici voi nu puteți aduce rod, ...  Read More

Líderes que perduran: Una definición piadosa del éxitoDebemos definir la victoria. Si la victoria se define según el mundo, como el dinero, la fama, los números (solamente), tu sentido de misión disminuirá con el tiempo y la presión.Juan 15:4,5 dice: “Permaneced en mí, y yo en vosotros. Como el pámpano no puede llevar fruto por sí mismo, si no permanece en la vid, así tampoco vosotros, si no perma...  Read More

Jesus tells the disciples that though they will experience sorrow when He dies, joy will follow. Just like a woman in labor forgets her pain when she holds her newborn, the disciples' sorrow will turn into uncontainable joy when they see Him again. This joy is deeper than temporary happiness—it is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit.Life’s circumstances can lead t...  Read More

John 14:1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”In John 14, Jesus addresses His disciples’ troubled hearts. They were scared and uncertain about His departure, feeling abandoned by His promise of leaving them. Yet, Jesus reassures them, saying that He will send the Holy Spirit—the Comforter, or Paraclete—to be with them forever. The Holy Spirit’s role is multifaceted...  Read More

This peace is the fruit of the Holy Spirit, as we live in harmony with God and others.As we seek God’s will, obey His commands, and live out our faith, we experience peace that brin...  Read More

The second type of peace is the peace of God, which guards our hearts and minds. Philippians 4:7 says that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. This peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God in our lives. It is the calm assurance that no matter what circumstances we face, God is with us and will sustain us.This pe...  Read More

The first type of peace is peace with God. Romans 5:1 tells us, “Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Before we came to faith in Christ, we were enemies of God because of sin. But through the death of Jesus, we are reconciled to God, and there is no longer any conflict between us. This peace is the foundation of our salvation and a prec...  Read More
