In our Christian faith, we refer to our Lord Jesus, as ‘Christ the King”, a king of the Kingdom of God and not of any earthly kingdom. We believe that Jesus Christ is seated at the Right Hand of God, our Heavenly Father, ruling this kingdom.
By essence and by nature, Christ has dominion over all creatures. He is one with the Father and has all things in common with Him and therefore has necessarily supreme and absolute dominion over all the things that are created. Angels and the mankind are His subjects. He is our King by natural right as well, as He is our Redeemer. Christ has purchased us with a great price of His own life. We are no longer our own property but our bodies have become ‘members of Christ’. Jesus Himself said, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me”. (Mathew 28:18). Yes God has bestowed upon Christ, the nations of the World as His special possession and dominion. Read more

We all know that being socially aware means that you understand how you react to different social situations and effectively modify your interactions with other people, so that you achieve the best results. According to Karl Marx, human beings enter into certain productive or economic relations which lead to a form of social consciousness. Social awareness gives us the ability to understand and respond to others’ needs. By doing so, we improve our social skills and gain the respect of others. To achieve this, basically, we need to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. Someone who is desperate and in need of help. Empathy helps us understand someone else’s perspective. In a nutshell, social awareness is defined as being aware of the problems that different societies and communities face on a day-to-day basis. Read more

“Which one of you is Malala?” asked the gunman and the bullet travelled 18 inches from the side of her left eye, down the neck landing into her shoulder. The rest is history. She now says “Nothing changed my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.” The UN Secretary then pronounced “12th July” as Malala Day” in honour of the young leader, Malala Yousafzai (Her birthday).
