1 Corinthians 10:21 NKJV
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.”
You Cannot Have Both: The Lord’s Table or the Table of Demons
Paul’s warning is clear: we cannot claim fellowship with Christ while indulging in what honors Satan. Yet this is the very deception Satan spreads—that we can have both Jesus and the world.
This week, as many celebrate Halloween, countless people will knowingly or unknowingly participate in practices rooted in darkness. Some embrace witchcraft, divination, and the

1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.”
Who Is Your Master?
My friend, I can recall many seasons in life when I felt like I was existing, going through the motions, and asking, “Lord, what was the point of that? Why did You allow me to walk through this?” These questions often arise in moments of uncertainty, confusion, or even spiritual weariness.
But what I have come to learn is this: God created humanity with the ability

2 Corinthians 6:14-17 NIV
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. “

2 Corinthians 5:1-7 NIV
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what

1 Corinthians 6:15 NIV
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
There are many passages where the Bible tells us the importance of our body. We can study different topics relating to our body from scriptures. I believe the most important mystery in our newfound birth in Jesus Christ is becoming a new creation. In Galatians 2:20-21, apostle Paul reminded us we have been crucified with Christ; Jesus lives in us. "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Life is a race! Which race are you running in? As I meditate on the first question that Apostle Paul asked in verse 24, it brought me to Mathew chapter 7:13-14 when Jesus made it clear there are two roads that every person must choose from. The narrow gate according to Jesus leads to life and wide gate leads

2 Corinthians 3:5-6-CJB
It is not that we are competent in ourselves to count anything as having come from us; on the contrary, our competence is from God. He has even made us competent to be workers serving a New Covenant, the essence of which is not a written text but the Spirit. For the written text brings death, but the Spirit gives life.
When was the last time that you read and meditated on the Old Testament? Unless we understand what was before us, it is likely we will take the present for granted. In order to understand the depth of the scripture above, I had to study what Paul meant by ‘written

2 Corinthians 3:12-17 NIV
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
