We have become children of God by believing in Jesus Christ. But it is not clear what we will become in the future. How much do we know about the future kingdom of God? What should we be prepared for when we encounter Jesus Christ in the future kingdom of God? What is the difference between the children of God and the children of Satan?

The liar has no memory. What are the biggest lies? Who are the enemies or enemies of Christ and how do we know them? What in the world is good or bad? Should we avoid the blessings of the world and live a hard life so that we can be worthy of God's presence! So what kind of life should we live?

How do you worship God? How to salt your head and body, to repeat your words, to think for yourself? What is the purpose of John the Apostle when he considers loving to be the new rule and the old rule? Love is the essence of all commandments.

John writes about the Word of life that has been from the beginning. Can words and life be seen and touched? The life that came from the future of God and appeared among us! Can people see an example of God's future in their present life? What can we say about this? The awesome secret of God can be the best definition for it.

Light and darkness cannot mix. Can a person claim that no sin has been committed? What to do with sin? Deny or confess sin? While the judge is aware of all our events and our denial does not cure any pain. It is up to us to tell the truth or to deny it.

Many times we are thirsty and cry out; but people do not give us water to drink, nor kindness and love; but vinegar and bitterness to drink. But her thirst was very different; it was a thirst for love and compassion and deep intimacy and sharing in his sufferings. Mother Teresa explained that this is a statement from Christ on the cross that always reminds us of the purpose of their ministry. She says: We have written this statement in all the centres so that we do not forget the purpose of our ministry. She emphasises that this ministry was founded to quench the thirst of Jesus, whose ultimate goal is to quench the thirst of Jesus Christ crucified to love the souls of the lost.

In Afghanistan, Nowruz has always had its own special place. From Kabul to Mazar-e-Sharif, from Herat to Badakhshan, people try to celebrate this day with all their might and whatever their circumstances. Because Nowruz is a reminder of life; a reminder that after every winter, spring finally comes. People may not have new clothes, their table may be simple, but hope cannot escape from their hearts. One of the most important parts of Nowruz celebrations in Afghanistan is the red rose bar in Mazar-e-Sharif. This bar is not just a pastime; it is a symbol. The red rose shows that the earth, despite all the hardships it has seen, still grows beauty. People come from far away to look at the flowers, to forget their sorrows for a few hours, and to make a new path for their hearts.

Christians fast to humble themselves before God, to bring their bodies under control, and to receive greater guidance and power from the Holy Spirit. The prophet Isaiah said that the “fast” that is pleasing to God is humility and works of love. Without humility and works of love, fasting is just an empty show. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. Fasting is about learning to put God at the centre of our lives. Not just in words, but in action.

Evil spirits are angels that have been cast out of heaven. The devil or Satan, who deceives all the people of the world, directs them. These evil spirits are created beings without bodies. They have the ability to take possession of the physical bodies of people, and live in them. The possession of the body by evil spirits occurs when a person's body comes completely under the control of an evil spirit. But this will not happen to the children of God (believers) because they have the Holy Spirit in their hearts. Jesus Christ, during the time he served on earth, encountered many evil spirits. Of course, none of them had power comparable to the power of Jesus Christ. Evil spirits or the cast out angels are the enemies of God, but they are defeated enemies.

We invite listeners into a journey where the scents of memory, compassion, and God’s healing love meet the everyday struggles of people across Afghanistan. As we share stories—from a forgotten student transformed by encouragement to the ways Jesus reshapes wounded hearts—we explore how we can become a comforting fragrance for one another: a hint of a mother’s tenderness, a father’s strength, a sibling’s loyalty, or simply the kindness we ourselves once longed for. In a world filled with judgement, exhaustion, and hardship, we remind each other that when we draw close to God, He fills us with the life, hope, and love we need to lift others up. We strive to be encouragers, to understand before we judge, and to let the beautiful aroma of Christ flow through us into the lives of our families, our communities, and every corner of our country.
