Eyes on the Prize

This week I was pondering upon Solomon’s life. I did not randomly start thinking about Solomon but as I read the ending of his life in 1 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles, I could not help but wonder how he managed to fall so miserably. Since he was the wisest man the earth has everContinue reading “Eyes on the Prize”

Clinging to His words

The book of Daniel is probably the only book of the Bible with the most supernatural elements. From dreams to visions, to manifestations of those, there is indeed quite a lot to grasp. If we are honest, much of the content on the visions and dreams laid out in the book of Daniel does notContinue reading “Clinging to His words”

The Pursuit of holiness

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This statement of Jesus is one that many take offence at. Because his claims are outright exclusive, authoritative and appear arrogant, people tend to resent him and Christianity for that. However, throughout his life,Continue reading “The Pursuit of holiness”

Humility: the portion of the Christian

It has been a month since my last post. Life got busy and sadly, I was not able to set time aside to write nor was I in the capacity to do so. However, in all this busyness, I am thankful that the Lord was continually with me, He never left me and unlike me,Continue reading “Humility: the portion of the Christian”

The Day of the Lord

The Bible talks about a day that is specific to the Lord. This is a day that the Lord will use to judge the people and set things straight. It is also a day that the Lord will use to vindicate his people. Many of the Old Testament prophets have warned the people of IsraelContinue reading “The Day of the Lord”

On Abiding

This past week was tough. I was not in the best of shape physically and to make matters worse I had agreed to support a family member in some spiritual exercise so I had to be on my A-game. Unfortunately, I was just weak, physically, spiritually and mentally. I did not feel like pushing, inContinue reading “On Abiding”

The Cry to Abide

“May I abide in you”. That is the cry of my heart. Although, this is a touching cry and longing, it does not matter how pious my words are, it does not matter how true my words are, it does not matter how deep my words are, nor does it matter how heartfelt my wordsContinue reading “The Cry to Abide”

Legacy

This weekend, my church is celebrating its 110th anniversary! I know, it is a big deal, and it is on a personal level a privilege to be part of it. One thing I am most grateful for is the legacy it is leaving behind which is one of faithfulness in the Lord. Not many ofContinue reading “Legacy”

Looking to the Immutable One

“Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey”. Such are the words from the nineteenth century hymn which are still so true today. If there is one thing we know as Christians, it is that we serve God and we answer to Him, not theContinue reading “Looking to the Immutable One”

Being Steadfast to the Lord

Convictions are a funny thing. They can make us take a 180 degree turn on a decision. They are crucial for life because they form the set of principles we live by. Convictions may take time to be formed but once they are formed, it is difficult to change them easily without extra effort. Interestingly,Continue reading “Being Steadfast to the Lord”
