PETER CHRISTOPHER GLOBAL MINISTRIES

You ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Jesus was speaking to a crowd of just ordinary folks. Yet Christ said to them, "You are the light of the world" ( Matthew 5:14 ). Even today, you are the light of the world. That's how God intends to get his work done on earth today: through you! It's not just pastors and missionaries who are the light; it's everybody who loves the Lord.Jesus also described His people as being like light, which is on the outside. The light speaks of the testimony of a follower of Christ, revealing and illuminating the truth. Jesus is telling us to shine in any where we find ourselves. If you are not shining as a Christian, that's the wrong representation of our Christ Jesus. No matter how small a candle stick is,it will light up dark room. No matter where you are or how small you are, you must shine in anywhere you go. Light has so many features and advantages in our lives and we have to make use of theses features so that Christ might be ...

THE NAME OF JESUS AS A WEAPON. Philippians 2:9-10 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth… Luke 10:17-18 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” Mark 16:15-18 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Acts 4:9-10 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was...

PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM (part 3) As I conclude this final part of this amazing topic, God is going to give you peace in the midst of storm, no matter the storm it will not swallow you in Jesus name , amen. 3. Be assured of God’s goodness (verse 38). The third key to experience peace in the midst of the storm is: Be assured of God’s goodness. The disciples doubted God's goodness. They felt that Jesus didn't care about them. Before we criticize these "timid" disciples, we must search our own hearts. When we go through the storms of life, sometimes, we doubt God's goodness and even question his sovereign will. We wonder whether God is making a mistake by allowing certain painful situations in our lives. But the fact is that God does care for us. 1 Peter 5:7 says “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” The writer to Hebrews says, "15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but on...

PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM (part 2) 2. Do not stay in fear (verse 40). Another thing that we need to remember when we are in a storm is that we should not stay in fear when a crisis hits us. Let’s face it. All of us get afraid when we are in a difficult situation. But we must not stay in fear! The cry of the disciples in verse 38 does not come as a request but as an expression of utmost fear. They felt that their Master didn't care about themselves. Mark gives a graphic description of the fearful situation that the disciples were in. Verse 37 is rendered in the Analytical-Literal Translation as: “Then a great storm of wind comes, and the waves were splashing [epeballen] (imperfect tense – past continuous tense) into the boat, with the result that it is already being filled [Gemizesthai] (present tense – present continuous tense).” The disciples were in a terrible situation. The storm was life-threatening. They were not afraid for no reason. Some of these disciples w...

PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM (part 1) Luke 8:23-24(KJV) But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. Prior to this passage, we see that Jesus taught few parables to His disciples about the Kingdom of God. Probably for the sake of privacy and relaxation, Jesus proposed a trip across the lake of Galilee. And in this passage, Mark, the Evangelist gives a graphic account of the stilling of the storm as they were crossing the Sea of Galilee (Mark 4:35-41). Just like these disciples, many times we find ourselves in the midst of storms, problems, and difficulties in our lives. Many times we asked ourselves this questions, can I really find peace in the midst of this storm? The answer is yes you can, just like the apos...
