Being Set Apart
As Christians, we often desire to be used by God for His purposes. Many of us sing it, pray about it and even long for it. Yet, I believe not many of us understand the implications of being used for the purposes of God. We do not understand what being ‘chosen’, being ‘set apart’, beingContinue reading “Being Set Apart”
Honouring and respecting the Lord
In cultures where kingdoms and monarchy still exist, it is a normal thing to see the authority a king, a chief or a monarch has over the people and the land they govern.

Salvation belongs to our God

ItContinue reading “The Art of Petitioning”
God the Rewarder
When it comes to loving the Lord, in the bible, king David is my model. I do not know anyone else that had such a deep love for the Father as David had. No wonder he was called a man after God’s own heart. What always impressed me with David is how unsatisfied he wouldContinue reading “God the Rewarder”
