The Ways of the Lord

If you surrender your life to the Lord, expect to be challenged. This is a given, for your desires will often be in conflict with the will of the Lord. Also, because His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:9), it is clear that His commands will not seem right to you upfront. They couldContinue reading “The Ways of the Lord”

When life throws you a curveball

Trusting in the Lord is what the Christian should do. There is no other way around it. The fact that the bible repeats it often also means it is not the norm yet it is crucial if we want to live under the kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Something that I have come toContinue reading “When life throws you a curveball”

Pressing On

There’s nothing more annoying to me than to hear the words “keep going” when I’m tired or am ready to give up. For example, when I’m exercising and the exercise is demanding and it seems the instructor is prolonging the exercise and by extension my pain or discomfort, all I want to do in thatContinue reading “Pressing On”

The Armour of God

Believers in the Lord are at war the moment they accept Christ Jesus as their Lord and saviour. Indeed, when we submit to the Lordship of Christ, we immediately become enemies of the world and the kingdom of darkness. For God rescued us from the dominion of darkness of which we belonged when we wereContinue reading “The Armour of God”

Love Righteousness

If there is a theme in the book of Proverbs is the call to love righteousness and everything that it entails. We learn that the righteous loves wisdom, seeks after it; the righteous loves understanding, he goes after it; the righteous loves justice; the righteous loves rebuke for he knows it is good for him;Continue reading “Love Righteousness”

Dependence on the Holy Spirit

This is a topic that I must confess I know nothing about however, this kept showing in my bible reading this week and it caught my attention. What does it mean to be dependent on the Holy Spirit? Why be dependent on the Holy Spirit? What is the expectation of Christians vis-à-vis the Holy Spirit?Continue reading “Dependence on the Holy Spirit”

The Path of the Righteous

One of the passages that is coming to mind as I start to type the title of this post is found in 1 John and it says “the commands of the Lord are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3) and there is another one in Psalm 119 that says “your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soulContinue reading “The Path of the Righteous”

Delighting in the Lord

If there is anything that the bible tells us to do it is to delight ourselves in the Lord (Psalm 37:4). If you are like me, you might wonder what that means. Perhaps, you have even searched for passages that talk about delighting yourself in the Lord or examples of men and women who haveContinue reading “Delighting in the Lord”

Being led astray

If there was ever a redundant theme in the New Testament letters, it was the warning on false doctrines and false teachers. The second letter of Paul to the Corinthian church is no exception (2 Corinthians 11:3). As important as it is to not deviate from the truth, what stroked me from the warning wasContinue reading “Being led astray”

Biblical Generosity

“The quality of being kind and generous” that is the definition of generosity according to Google. But what is generosity? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as being “liberal in giving: openhanded” or “marked by abundance or ample proportions”. From that definition, it seems generosity is only spoken of when there is “abundance” or “ample proportions”.Continue reading “Biblical Generosity”
