Reset, starting off right.

It seems fitting to be writing on the subject of resetting at the beginning of the year. To reset, means to start over. When you start over, you are given a clean slate, your previous achievements and or failures are tossed aside, they do not count anymore. As Christians, we have a good Father whoContinue reading “Reset, starting off right.”

Reflections on 2022

Here we are at the eve of a new year. The year 2022 has come and gone as well like previous years. Many things have happened around the world, we have had to still juggle with the continued effects of Covid-19, added to it instability in many nations and a war. This was a yearContinue reading “Reflections on 2022”

Praising God

One of the beauties of the Psalms is that it exhorts us to praise God, not only that, the Psalms draw our hearts to praising God. Through the Psalms, we get to see real examples, life cases of the psalmist going through difficulties like us; we get to see real emotions, identify with them andContinue reading “Praising God”

The Lord is on your side

Much of what I read in the word this week seemed to focus on having the Lord on your side, on having the Lord as your fortress and on having the Lord as a sure help in times of trouble. The word of God is a well of knowledge which provides understanding to the simple.Continue reading “The Lord is on your side”

The struggle of living between two kingdoms

The more I get deeper in life with Christ, the more I understand the gap that exists between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. This gap creates a tension that Paul explains well in the book of Romans saying that there are two laws at work in the life of the believerContinue reading “The struggle of living between two kingdoms”

When Christ gave his life on the cross for us, he also redeemed us and gave us new life in him; this new life gave us a new identity and a new purpose.Continue reading “Be Strong and Courageous”

The God of Justice

A recurrent theme we read in the Psalms is the distinction between the righteous and the unrighteous. There is a clear line between the two and how God views them. They have different portions assigned to them. The Psalmist continually ensured that the readers would know this. This truth, had to be remembered in goodContinue reading “The God of Justice”

Contending for the Faith

If you are like me, then you have questioned yourself about the idea of contending for the faith. Why should we contend for the faith? If Jesus has already done the work, why do we still have to do any fighting? What does it mean to contend for the faith? What is the faith weContinue reading “Contending for the Faith”

Fighting God’s way

Most of our difficulties in life stem from the fact that we are not letting God be God but instead we try to take His place. We have a hard time letting someone else take charge of our lives and that brings a lot of pain, heartaches and headaches; all of which could have beenContinue reading “Fighting God’s way”

Applying yourself to knowledge

From ages to ages, God is God. He is everlasting and He is before all things (Colossians 1:17). Every biblical story begins with God at the forefront, He is the point of everything, like Colossians puts it, “All things were created by Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16). This is the premise of the bible:Continue reading “Applying yourself to knowledge”
