  Beloved Family, In this week's Story of Faith, we reflect on one of the most powerful moments recorded in Matthew, the day Peter walked on water. The Bible tells us that the disciples were in a boat in the middle of a violent storm. The wind was raging, the waves were crashing, and darkness surrounded them. Fear gripped their hearts as they struggled against forces they could not control. To them, it seemed as though all hope was slipping away. Then, in the midst of that storm, they saw someone walking on the water toward them. Terrified, they thought it was a ghost. Their fear only grew stronger. But Jesus Christ saw their troubled hearts. He saw their fear, their confusion, and their desperation. Immediately He spoke words that still bring comfort today: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." Peter recognized the voice of his Master. Deep within his heart, he knew it was Jesus. So he answered, "Lord, if it is You, tell me to come to You on the water....

  Beloved Family, Today, across cities and villages, across nations rich and poor, millions of people are fighting battles that cannot be seen with human eyes. Some are lying awake at night wondering how they will pay their bills. Some are carrying the crushing weight of unemployment and uncertainty. Some are suffering from betrayal by those they trusted most. Some are struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, and fear of the future. Others are smiling before the world while their hearts quietly break behind closed doors. Perhaps you are one of them. Perhaps you have cried tears that no one has seen. Perhaps you have prayed prayers that seem unanswered. Perhaps you have carried burdens so heavy that you wondered whether you could take another step. A little story: In a distant land there was a valley where many people lived. To the eyes of travelers, the valley appeared peaceful. Children played in the streets, merchants sold their goods, and families gathered arou...

Beloved Family, Today, I want to speak directly to the young people who are growing up in Christian homes, surrounded by parents, siblings, grandparents, and family members who love them. Sometimes, when you're young, it's easy to think your role in the family isn't that important. You may feel like you're always being told what to do, corrected, or expected to listen while the adults make the important decisions. You may even believe that making a real difference is something you'll do later in life, when you're older, more experienced, and have greater responsibilities. I would like to let you know that God doesn't see you that way. God has never measured a person's usefulness by their age. Throughout Scripture, He often chose young people to carry His purposes and bring blessing to others. He used young David to confront a giant. He called young Samuel to hear His voice. He used young Timothy to lead and encourage believers. God delights in worki...

Join Fasting and Prayer program Beloved Family, let us pray. Almighty God, The greater LIGHT, Creator of heaven and earth, I come before YOUR Throne of grace with humble heart, I lift up YOUR Holy and magnificent Name. You are the Alpha? You are the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One who was, who is, and who is to come. There is none like You in all the earth. You are worthy of all glory, honor, worship, and praise. Almighty God, we thank You for the gift of life. We thank You for waking us up this day and for sustaining us by Your grace. We thank You for every breath we take, for every blessing we enjoy, and for Your unfailing love that surrounds us each day. Even in moments when we have been weak, You have remained faithful. Even when we could not see the way forward, Your hand was guiding us. We thank You for Your mercy that never fails and for Your compassion that is renewed every morning. Almighty God, today we place our complete trust in You. We surrender our lives, our fa...

  Beloved Family, Life can sometimes feel heavy. Many people are carrying pain, fear, guilt, confusion, and disappointment in silence. Some are running from responsibilities. Some are running from people. Others are even running from God because they feel ashamed, broken, or unworthy. But the beautiful truth is this: no matter how far you go, God’s love can still find you. The story of Jonah is not only about a man swallowed by a big fish. It is really a story about God’s mercy, second chances, and the power of obedience. It is a message for every lost soul who feels far away from God today. Jonah was chosen by God for a purpose. God told him to go to the city of Nineveh and warn the people there to turn away from their sinful ways. The people of Nineveh were doing evil things, but God still cared about them. He wanted to give them a chance to repent and be saved. But Jonah became afraid. He became afraid for several reasons. First, the people of Nineveh were known for being...

  Beloved Family, Temptation can show up in quiet moments, stressful days, lonely nights, or even in the middle of ordinary routines. It whispers thoughts into the heart and tries to convince us that giving in is easier than standing firm. But one gentle truth can change the way we see the battle: temptation is a suggestion, not a command. That means we still have a choice. A temptation may knock on the door of the mind, but it does not have the authority to control the soul. Thoughts can appear suddenly. Desires can rise quickly. Feelings can become intense. But none of those things automatically decide our actions. God created people with the ability to pause, pray, think, and choose. Sometimes people feel guilty simply because they were tempted. But being tempted is not the same as failing. Even Jesus experienced temptation. in Hebrews 4:15 the bible said: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tem...

Beloved Family, In a world that constantly changes, one thing remains our greatest foundation, Christ at the center of our homes, hearts, and relationships. Today, we simply want to encourage every family, every parent, every child, every couple, and every person walking this journey of faith: a family rooted in Christ will always find strength, even in difficult seasons. Life is not always easy. There are moments of joy, celebration, and laughter, but there are also days filled with uncertainty, silent battles, misunderstandings, and weariness. Yet through it all, God continues to remind us that love built on Him can endure every storm. When Christ becomes the root of a family, love grows deeper. Grace becomes easier to give. Forgiveness becomes possible. Patience increases. Hope remains alive. A Christ-centered home is not a perfect home, but it is a home that chooses faith over fear and prayer over despair. In Colossians 2:7, the word of God said: “Let your roots grow down into Him,...
