The light has come

We recently came off a sermon series at church called “CrossWords” which were essentially about the last words of Jesus on earth while he was on the cross. I am still amazed at how much truth and wisdom was shared from Jesus final words on the cross such as “I thirst”, “It is finished”, “FatherContinue reading “The light has come”

A living testimony

If there is someone during Jesus’ time who embodied that in the literal sense it is certainly Lazarus, Jesus’ friend and the brother of Martha and Mary. As Christians, our lives should be living testimonies of the grace and power of God at work in us. This is where we usually ask questions like “WhatContinue reading “A living testimony”

The offer of Jesus

One of the most profound lines from the song ‘How deep the father’s love’ is “why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer but this I know with all my heart, his wounds have paid my ransom”. I find it to be profound because indeed we cannot fully grasp the reasonContinue reading “The offer of Jesus”

Why Easter?

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)” is a statement found in the book of Jeremiah. This week, in my bible reading in the book of Acts, I saw that statement in action. Paul and Barnabas had just healed a man crippled from birth in theContinue reading “Why Easter?”

A model relationship

As human beings, one thing we cannot do without is relationships because we are relational people. This is how we were created and it shows in the way we interact with others. When we are alone, we do not do well, we become depressive, as a matter of fact, the pandemic has shown too manyContinue reading “A model relationship”

Be expectant.

The gospel of John is probably the only gospel that introduces Jesus holistically. In it, we get to see his humanity in a deeper way as John describes his many acts yet at the same time we see his deity portrayed throughout the book and established by John in the opening lines. John was certainlyContinue reading “Be expectant.”

A life of consecration

When we give our lives to Christ we become ‘slaves to righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). We change masters and move from the dominion of darkness to the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:14). This means, we no longer respond to the demands of our old master, we no longer obey him. In this case, our old masterContinue reading “A life of consecration”

The benefits of scripture memorization

One of my goals this year is to memorize the book of Colossians. The practice of memorization is not an easy one because you constantly have to go back to what you have memorized otherwise you lose it. In fact I was chatting with an almost teenage child at church who supported that idea. ThatContinue reading “The benefits of scripture memorization”

Coming to Jesus

One of the verses in the bible that shows God’s matchlessness is found in Isaiah and it says “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways’, declares the LORD. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than yourContinue reading “Coming to Jesus”

Prayer that works

It’s a known fact that one of the spiritual disciplines we Christians struggle with is prayer. However, it is also one of the easiest spiritual disciplines and one we often engage in wrongly or with wrong motives. The bible calls us to pray without ceasing, and to pray the right way. Our priority in thisContinue reading “Prayer that works”
