The Israelites were confident that if they stood in God’s presence and called on Him, He would hear them and save them – 2 Chronicles 20:9. We should do the same during difficult times. Are…

In view of how July has been, I sought the Lord for encouragement and He led me to 2 Chronicles 20. Jehoshaphat and God’s children were threatened by their neighbours. This happened after God had…

Getting accustomed to God’s presence will hopefully help us desire to honour Him more and more and not to take Him for granted. That would then make us agree with the words spoken by the…

So what should our attitude be knowing what we know about the presence of God being available to us? Do we trust Him enough to be positive even in the most difficult times? Should the…

As we focus on the desire to be in God’s presence and to experience more of His glory, then the advice Paul gives in Hebrews 13:5-6 will hopefully make more sense to us. The blessed…

Even Jesus expressed the need to be in His Father’s presence in Luke 2:41-49, especially vs 49. How about us? How much more should we desire His glory? It doesn’t have to only happen in…

I would like to link being under the cover of God’s glory with what Christ said in John 14:26. I’m convinced that one of the benefits of having this glory is to get direction. This…

In Exodus 33:19, the Lord enumerates the other benefits of His glory. May we be beneficiaries of the same…

Moses desired the glory of God for distinction according to Exodus 33:15-17. Jesus remarked about the importance of presence of the Holy Spirit in John 14:15-17 and vs 26. Let us desire God’s presence for…

In her song “Uwepo Wako”, Mercylinah sings about God’s different characteristics for the different seasons of life we go through. She then stresses the importance of knowing Him more. This reminds me of the importance…

One of the results of seeking to know God and His ways is finding favour with Him. Another is that He walks with those who seek Him and gives them rest. May we make that…

God is gracious. After His children had sinned terribly in Exodus 32, He still related closely with Moses – Exodus 33:11. He also assured Moses that He would be with them – verse 14. But…

Paul’s persecution didn’t stop him from preaching the gospel and fulfilling his purpose. From his near lynching and arrest in Acts 21:30 to his appearance before the Sanhedrin in chapter 23, Felix in chapter 24…

Let us not forget to serve others even during our season of judgement. God has placed gifts in us that are for the benefit of those we encounter or those around us according to 1…

Being a loving Father, God still gives opportunity for the wayward child to repent and be restored in his relationship with Him. He even facilitates the restoration just like a good parent would. May we…

When a child is rebellious, the parents spend a lot of time and effort trying to steer him/her back to the path of reason. That sometimes takes away precious time that would have been used…

We may be going through a very rough patch at the moment and we may want to curse the day we were born, like Job did in Job 3:1-8. Let’s not forget that we serve…

Hebrews 12:18-24 reminds us of the sort of God who calls us to follow Him. We have come a long way from the days of Moses. Even when we experience hardship, this loving God is…
