Based on what we know of God, i.e. that He is all-powerful, we should accept that we can’t always know what He will do. But we should be willing to accept that He can do…

Gratitude for a God who is above all is a good way to start. A living God we can relate with and who we can see in creation is a great blessing. It is awesome…

Because God is who He is, infinite, all-knowing, all-powerful, etc., there are certain aspects of His nature that will always remain a mystery. How do we then as humans deal with that? Proverbs 30:2-6…

One if the most dramatic accounts in the bible is found in 1 Kings 18:16-46. Elijah heard God and was used of Him to do extraordinary things starting with the declaration of drought, then the…

Self preservation makes even the most devout Christians do things out of fear instead of trusting in the Lord. It makes us rely on human wisdom rather than God. A good example is found in…

So I purpose to love more and have more faith, also living in hope concerning the coming of Christ and the salvation of the elect. May I be able to tap into God’s available grace…

Christ will return unexpectedly, so we must be ready. We can prepare ourselves by standing firm on His word when we are tempted and being committed to God’s moral standards. In what ways does your…

How do you live life? Is your focus only on what’s happening now or does the future occupy your thoughts? Are you only concerned about your needs or do you also think about what’s to…

According to bible scholars, Nineveh actually remained intact for about 100 years after Jonah’s mission. In Jonah 3:4, the prophecy stated that the city would be destroyed 40 days after its proclamation. This shows us…

After calamity was averted because of God’s mercy and Jonah’s intervention, Jonah became so angry, that he wanted to die rather than see Nineveh prosper. God then does an amazing thing with a vine to…

15 May 2019

God is patient and merciful. Jonah finally gets to Nineveh after one of the most interesting occurrences. Jonah 1:4-2:10. He then fulfills his mission with God’s help. Jonah 3:1-10. God spares Nineveh despite its wickedness…

Jonah took off in the opposite direction away from Nineveh, instead of to that great capital of Assyria, described as wicked. He was driven away from his assignment by fear of the assignment’s magnitude. Are…

13 May 2019

What assignment have we been called to do? Are we doing it or avoiding it like Jonah in Jonah 1:1-3? If we are avoiding it, why is that?…

The one friendship that blows my mind was the one between God and Abraham. The latter is referred to as a friend of God. The Lord honoured Abraham so much, that He made one of…

Amos 3:3 and Matthew 18:18-20 mention the importance & impact of teamwork. Paul and Barnabas planted many churches, trained church leaders and impacted many Christians on their first missionary journey. Work becomes easier when there…

The description of Job’s friends’ actions in Job 2:12-13 convinces me that they truly loved and cared for him. They empathized with him so deeply, that they behaved that way. May we be challenged by…

06 May 2019

What sort of friend are you/what sort of friends do you have? In Job 2:11, Job’s friends went to see him, when they heard, what had befallen him. They did a poor job of comforting…

In our search for truth let us not be mislead by others whose mission is characterised by ignorance, false teaching, personal interests, grumbling, etc. Jude 8-14…

30 Apr 2019

If we are to be accused of anything, let it not be corruption, murder, etc. Let it be our zeal for God, like what happened to Paul in Acts 25:13-22. Festus was at a loss…

In Luke 12:1-3, Jesus calls the Pharisees hypocrites. Hypocrisy can be defined as trying to appear good when one’s heart is far from God. It is knowing the truth but not obeying it. It is…

26 Apr 2019

It is alright to be ambitious. But seek the Lord concerning what to do or not to do. We should put in effort in learning to love others like Christ did. That will help to…

25 Apr 2019

I think I underestimate the power of love. When we show others genuine love, we impact their lives beyond what the eye can see. This inspires hope and makes others also reciprocate and or do…

24 Apr 2019

In our quest to increase, we may try doing it in our strength & wisdom and consequently experience frustration, fear, etc. But even then, God is willing to help us, just like He promised Israel…

23 Apr 2019

We may try to figure out everything around us, but it is not possible. Generally, we are always yearning for more, money, power, success, etc. Only God can satisfy this yearning. He knows us fully…

Jesus’s life on earth was meant to achieve different things. He walked in divine purpose, but still experienced challenges. He overcame and nothing hindered Him from fulfilling His mission. He impacted lives and left a…
