Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. The prescription to all our problems is the Word of God....

Isaiah 61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. Jesus wore a crown of a criminal to exchange it with a crown of beauty. He took our garment stained with sin...

Genesis 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. Curse is the consequence of repeated transgressions. A default becomes an iniquity when there is reoccurrence but no repentance, penitence or reconciliation. Like blessings, curses are also a transferable commodity passed on from one generation to the other....

Abram (meaning ‘Father’) was changed to ‘Abraham’ which meant ‘Father of Many’, while he was childless. Jacob (meaning trickster) was...

Isaiah 43:18-19a “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing!” Christ exchanged the old, torn and tattered past, with a brand new present. Every saint has a past. As long as we hold on to the sticky past we will not be able to receive...

Joel 3:10 Let the weak say, “I am strong!”. At the cross our weaknesses were exchanged with divine strength. Jesus needed more strength to remain on the cross, endure shame and death than to miraculously come down from the cross. He was mocked by spectators and slanderers. Mark 15:29-30 “Those who passed by hurled insults at...

1 Corinthians 1:27-28 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. The cross is the ‘table of treaty’ where the divine transaction was consummated. The purpose of the life of Jesus was completed on the cross. The gruesome...

Isaiah 41:11-12 “All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.” Old testament is the shadow of the New Testament....

1 Samuel 30:7b David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them? David and his fighting men were wronged, robbed and wounded. The Amalekites had raided their city and had taken the women and children captive. The raiders had burnt the city and robbed their possessions. David did not...
