“For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face.” – Colossians 2:1

28th February 2025 You may be burdened by the struggles faced by people in your nation or around the world. Feeling helpless to make a significant difference, you might wonder how you could impact their lives. One way is to let them know that someone is sincerely praying for them.  Our prayers are not constrained […]

“To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me…” – Colossians 1:29

27th February 2025 God, in His sovereignty, has assigned us to be His coworkers in His work of reconciling mankind to Himself. Consequently, our service to God should be based on our partnership with Him, where we sincerely and wholeheartedly carry out the responsibilities entrusted to us with the strength He provides.  My service to

“Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.” – Colossians 1:28

26th February 2025 When one becomes a child of God, they do not experience an overnight transformation. Although they become a dwelling place for the Spirit of God, they need to grow from one level to the next until they attain maturity. This is God’s desire for us: that we may grow in the qualities

“…the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27

25th February 2025 Can a holy God, who created the universe, come into the hearts of sinners like us? If we are reluctant to bare our hearts to the public, how much more wary would we be to open our sinful hearts to a holy God? Yet, there can be no surer way to ensure

“Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for His body, that is, the church.” – Colossians 1:24

24th February 2025 The text above does not imply that Paul was trying to complete a deficiency in Christ’s redemptive work. On the cross, once and for all, Christ paid the price for our redemption. Rather, Paul was declaring a truth he learned in his first encounter with Jesus: to persecute the followers of Christ

“If indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel…” – Colossians 1:23

23rd February 2025 It is very easy to slide from a life of faith to one dictated by our senses. Unless we are firm in our faith and established in God’s word, we will gradually deviate from the eternal hope of the gospel to the temporal hope this world has to offer.  Christ’s transforming work

“…to present you holy, unblemished and blameless in His presence.” – Colossians 1:22

22nd February 2025 One day, we will all stand before our Creator and give an account of our thoughts, motives, words, and actions. There will be no excuses or hiding on that day, for nothing will be concealed from His gaze, and the secrets of our hearts will be exposed.  If I were to face

“Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds.” – Colossians 1:21

21st February 2025 One can acknowledge the existence of God yet still live far from His presence. To distance oneself from God is to live in opposition to Him, for there is no such thing as neutral ground. A person alienated from their Creator leads a life that is not surrendered to His will. To

“And through Him to reconcile to Himself all things…” – Colossians 1:20

20th February 2025 A relationship can be broken by the wrongs committed by either or both partners. The first step in the restoration process begins with a desire for restoration, followed by genuine confession and forgiveness. Complete restoration, however, occurs only through reconciliation—when both parties come to accept each other and live harmoniously with acceptance,

“…For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him.” – Colossians 1:19

19th February 2025 The difference between three gods and a triune God lies in their nature and relationship. A polytheistic view of three gods presents them as entirely separate and independent entities, differing in nature, character, purpose, and mission. In contrast, the Trinity represents one God existing as three persons who are identical in nature, purity,
