I have recently started reading the book of Revelation and every time I do, it seems the book opens to me in a new way. While I am not yet deep in the book, I thought it would be interesting to share what I have noticed so far in the first two chapters and howContinue reading “Waiting for the Lord’s Return”

Fighting for the word
A key attitude of the early followers of Christ, particularly his apostles was their high regard for the teachings of Christ. Many of them spent years devoting themselves to the teaching of Christ and ensuring the churches remained faithful to it amidst new ways of thinking that were springing up. Paul, Peter and Jude, toContinue reading “Fighting for the word”
Righteous Living – the portion of the just
This is the call of the Christian, to live righteously in this world as we await the coming of our King and the fulfillment of all that is ours in Christ Jesus. Indeed, anyone who has crossed over from death to life through Jesus’ sacrifice knows he or she has become a new creature andContinue reading “Righteous Living – the portion of the just”
The Father’s love
“How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure! That He would give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure”. These are words taken from the famous hymn “How Deep the Father’s love” and they depict the depth and breadth of God’s love or at least they attempt to. LikeContinue reading “The Father’s love”
Quit striving after the wind
One of the Verse of the Day this week from the YouVersion bible app was “Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah.” (Psalms 68:19). The word or phrase that caught my attention in that verse was “who daily bears our burden” signifying that God Himself dailyContinue reading “Quit striving after the wind”
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”
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”
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”
Going back to the Source
We talk about it, we sing about it, we “feel” it, we say that is all we need in life, we say that it is stronger than hate, we say that it is the antidote to the many wars we have but I wonder, how many of us actually know what love is and howContinue reading “Going back to the Source”
