Fix Your Eyes On God’s Unshakable Word


Philippians 4:19
19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  

People of the world feel helpless as the systems of the world go up and down. They turn on the television and they hear, “This war will plunge the world into a recession.” They open the newspapers and they read that “Unemployment is at an all-time high”.

Beloved, God does not want you to feel helpless because you are not of the world. (John 17:16) You are of God and therefore need not be subject to the world’s systems. Whatever the world’s situation is, fear not because “God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus”.

Notice that Philippians 4:19 says that “God shall supply all your need”. It does not say that God may supply some of your needs. It also says that God will do it “according to His riches”. It is not out of His riches. If a millionaire gives you a hundred dollars, it is out of his riches. But if he gives to you according to his riches, it means that he is lining up his millions for you!

Lastly, the verse says that God does it “according to His riches in glory”. It is not according to the riches of your company or how well the economy is doing. No, it is according to God’s riches in glory!

So how do you stop yourself from feeling helpless in uncertain times? The same way our Pastor stopped himself from getting seasick when he was on board a navy ship for the first time during his National Service stint. A senior naval officer had advised him, “Don’t look at the waves around you. Look at the horizon far away. Look at that stable, stationary line and you will feel better.” When he fixed his eyes on that unshakable, unwavering line, even though the ship bobbed up and down in the rough sea, he did not feel so seasick anymore.


My friend, don’t look at your circumstances or the bad things that are happening in the world because you will get “earth-sick”. Instead, look at the unshakable, eternal Word of God. Your heart will become stable and you will see your God supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus!

Stay Blessed

speak words of Life only



While doing some work, if you happen to make a lil mistake, do you say, " oh s*** " or other such random words??? Do you?? Do such words flow out of your mouth without any hesitation??? is it common in your life ???  For some these are daily language, for some its posh and stylish words to express anger, frustration against someone
How disgusting it sounds when a person having JESUS as their saviour speaking so ugly and obsessive words..., “S***, f***, hell. You don’t require to use the word HELL each time you make a mistake or get excited or disgusted, for its definitely not a place none of you would want to go.. is it not.. so don’t use the word HELL  or any other ugly & obsessive words..

Col 3:8
But now you must get rid of all these things: anger, passion, and hateful feelings. No insults or obscene talk must ever come from your lips.

Don’t you realise we belong to God and we should and Must develop heavenly nature.... 
Col 3:12
You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Jas 3:3
We are children of GOD, we are called to be blessed and bless everyone around... We put a bit into the mouth of a horse to make it obey us, and we are able to make it go where we want.

Jas 3:10-12
Words of thanksgiving and cursing pour out from the same mouth. My friends, this should not happen! No spring of water pours out sweet water and bitter water from the same opening. A fig tree, my friends, cannot bear olives; a grapevine cannot bear figs, nor can a salty spring produce sweet water. 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Pro 18:21
God spoke it directly life and death is in your mouth ... choose life
