We are like a soldier in battle, alert and awake. We must also be alert and watchful in prayer. If we want to be safe from the attacks of the evil one, we must be alert and awake. Is Satan powerful? Yes, but the good news is that God is more powerful than Satan. Satan the enemy has been defeated and is a toothless lion. But Christ triumphantly over him and crushed his head. Dear fellow countryman today, if you believe in Jesus Christ, you can stand by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our question to you, dear listener, is that how can you be aware of Satan's plans if you do not have the Holy Spirit? The only way to win against Satan is to believe in Jesus Christ. Do you want to be free from the captivity of the evil one? Please contact us.

In this programme, you will hear the story of Paul's sea voyage to Rome. They were adrift on the ship for fourteen days. As a result, all the passengers had lost hope of survival. None of them wanted to eat anything. At that moment, an angel of God said to Paul, "Do not be afraid, Paul, for you must stand before Caesar, and God has granted you the lives of all those who are with you." Paul conveyed the angel's message to the passengers and said to them, "Therefore, gentlemen, be of good cheer, for I believe God and know that it will be as I have been told." As the angel of God had said, not only the apostle Paul but all the passengers on the ship arrived safely on the shore of a small island in southern Italy after the terrible events.

The apostle Paul appeared before Agrippa, the king of the Jews, and how he defended himself against the charges brought against him by the Jewish leaders. In this debate, Paul says that the resurrection of the dead, along with eternal life, is the main hope of the Jewish people, and they are all waiting for the fulfilment of this promise of God. So when Jesus fulfils the hope of the Jews and rises from the dead, why is it difficult to accept the fulfilment of God's promise? This is the question that Paul not only asks Agrippa, but now we all face the question that we must answer.

Becoming self-aware is the first step to creating the life you love; it helps you pay attention to your feelings and interests and how your feelings help you in life. You can recognise where your feelings and thoughts are leading you and make changes if necessary. When you are aware of your thoughts, words, emotions and behaviour, you can change the course of your future life. Join us to learn more about the different aspects of self-awareness. Self-awareness should not be confused with mindfulness.

Respect is earned, and it's important to behave appropriately so that others respect you. People who are always willing to help others, or listen to others when needed, or look for opportunities to help, will receive more respect. So look for opportunities to help, even if you haven't noticed them before.

Spring is a delightful season of beauty, freshness and vigour. It is the season of the return of singing birds, the season of blossoms, flowers and colours. It is a season of hope and friendship, of love and aspirations. Spring is a season of animation and rebirth. It is one of the four seasons of the year, with a temperate climate after a cold winter and before a hot summer. There are different descriptions of spring, but the term usually refers to local weather conditions, and is different based on the culture and customs of each country.

If all things work together for our good, is the devil also one of them? Does God use the devil for our good? God uses the devil for our good. So let us be vigilant and awake. The devil tries to lead us into sin and disobedience, and in this way destroy us, and devour us. The devil's goal is to destroy our fellowship with God and other believers. We need to be vigilant and awake, like a soldier in battle. We must also be vigilant in prayer. But the Bible clearly teaches that the devil is our enemy, he is a dangerous, cruel, and deceitful enemy who will stop at nothing to weaken and mislead us. In this present world, the works of the devil are not for our good, but the devil is always working to harm and destroy us.

What is our purpose and intention in fasting? Why do we fast? If our reason for fasting is to get closer to God, there is no need to try to look tired and show others that we have dry lips. God, who knows everything, is aware of our intentions and hearts. But if we are actually fasting in order to get a reward, and respect from other people, our efforts are useless. If we are just making a show so people speak well of us, we have already received our reward from people. This kind of fasting has no effect on our spiritual life and we have simply closed our mouths.

Can we earn our salvation from sin through our work and effort? Is this what the Apostle Paul meant when he wrote to the Philippians to complete your salvation with fear and trembling?
