Message of the Day / Verily Blessing

Reach for Spiritual Maturity

“When I was child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.” 1 Corinthians 13:11 Some people’s spiritual journey can be compared to rocking horse: there is a lot of movement, but little progress. They never achieve spiritual maturity because they allow grudges to poison them with bitterness. Allowing a grudge to fester could harm your spirit and hinder your spiritual development. Today you have an opportunity to grow by God’s grace, to put the negative behind you, and to reach for...

Be Fervent and Persevere in Prayer

“So He left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.” Matthew 26:44 Some Christians wonder why, if God is all-seeing and omniscient,, they still need to persevere in the discipline of prayer. They feel guilty about troubling God over and over with issues that He is already aware of. Remember, you often know about problems in people’s lives but you do not usually intervene unless asked to do so. If you feel that a particular matter in your life needs God’s intervention, do not hesitate to bring it before Him. Remind Him...
