Amidst our fallen world, flawed and permeated by sin and evil, God reminds us that Christ has triumphed over the evil one and that those who believe in Him are overcomers.

There’s no worse temptation than when the enemy asks you “to bow down and worship me!” When the enemy takes advantage of our anger, resentment and hatred to control our hearts and lives, it’s like we’re making the devil to usurp God’s authority over our lives.

Harbouring unforgiven grievances in our heart is not only unhealthy to our bodies but also means that our Father in heaven will not forgive us also if we don’t forgive our brothers and sisters from the heart.

By urging daily petition for God’s providence, our Lord Jesus is teaching us to come to God with humble dependence, acknowledging that all our basic needs are met by His gracious provision, not our own effort.

As One who perfectly understood the disparity between the performance of God’s will in heaven and on earth, our Lord teaches to pray for God’s to be done on earth because He knew the impact it would make on our world.

Amidst a fallen and sinful world, causing God’s Name to be hallowed is the most-pleasing things a person can do for God’s kingdom.

Heaven, as God’s dwelling, not only signifies His transcendence, which makes Him distinct from and beyond His creation, but also as the eternal home of those who believe in Jesus Christ as their saviour.

Regardless of the loveless father-child relationship you had with your father, you’re not an abandoned or neglected child; your loving Father in heaven knows exactly what you need even before you ask Him.

True prayer may involve spoken words, but it’s much more – it’s a communion from the heart to the One who looks at the heart not on the form or posture.

Unlike the ‘Pharisees’ whose interest is impressing and getting praise and honour from people, our generosity should be in secret for the glory of God who examines secret motives.
