Receiving our reward.

The concept of reward although present in the old testament does not seem to be as frequently mentioned as it is in the new testament. Starting from the gospels to the epistles, the idea of Christians being rewarded is quite ubiquitous. But what is the reward to be looking forward to? Who gives us theContinue reading “Receiving our reward.”

Gratefulness

As I write this today, my heart is full. Full because of the goodness of the Lord in my life. Full because of all the good things of the Lord in my life. Sometimes, I simply sit and stand amazed at how much I am loved. These good things revolve around his blessing through myContinue reading “Gratefulness”

Vengeance is the Lord’s

We serve a jealous God. He is not one to share his glory with another. God delights in himself. He is full and self-sufficient. He does not need anything from man, in fact nothing that we give him adds a thing to himself, His life or all that He is. Should we then be surprisedContinue reading “Vengeance is the Lord’s”

Building character.

As humans we are constantly evolving, learning, and developing. It seems we were made for that very purpose of constantly looking for the next thing, never getting satisfied with what we have. And I believe it is a good thing. To not be satisfied with your current state, striving to learn more, to know more,Continue reading “Building character.”

Every careless word.

First of, Happy Easter! This is a celebration that will never get old and of which we must never forget. The God man came into the earth to save sinners like you and me to reconcile them to Himself! Today, I would like to talk about our words and the impact they have on usContinue reading “Every careless word.”

Waiting on the Lord

This is probably the hardest thing to do as a Christian because it is so foreign to our human nature to entrust all that we are and have to another being. Waiting on the Lord means to walk in accordance to His plans, according to His timetable, according to His purposes. That is hard forContinue reading “Waiting on the Lord”

Favour. Obedience. Blessing.

The favour of God is a common phrase or lingo in Christian circles. So common that its understanding has been lost, in my opinion. It seems, the favour of God is a status to be sought for one’s own selfish desires. Indeed, what is the favour of God? What does it mean to have favourContinue reading “Favour. Obedience. Blessing.”

The unfathomable love of God

The love of God is an attribute often times difficult to grasp. I mean, there are many things about God that are too difficult to grasp let’s just admit it. His ways are not our ways and as far as the heavens are above the earth so are His thoughts from ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). However,Continue reading “The unfathomable love of God”

When God vindicates you

I was recently struck at Moses’ character. I had always wondered why Moses was still chosen by God to bring the Israelites out of Egypt despite his refusal to speak to Pharaoh until few weeks ago. So, I was quite pleased to read Moses in a different light in the books of Exodus and Numbers.Continue reading “When God vindicates you”

Why this blog?

I will start by saying that this has been in the making for the past ten years. I have had the desire to write something to encourage the church but I often found myself procrastinating, putting it off and ultimately giving into fear and laziness. Thanks be to God, I am back at it andContinue reading “Why this blog?”
