As human beings, one thing we cannot do without is relationships because we are relational people. This is how we were created and it shows in the way we interact with others. When we are alone, we do not do well, we become depressive, as a matter of fact, the pandemic has shown too manyContinue reading “A model relationship”

A life of consecration
When we give our lives to Christ we become ‘slaves to righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). We change masters and move from the dominion of darkness to the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:14). This means, we no longer respond to the demands of our old master, we no longer obey him. In this case, our old masterContinue reading “A life of consecration”
The way to please God
“The righteous shall live by faith”. This verse has always puzzled me. Such is the predicament of the righteous. Who is the righteous? The one that lives by faith. I know, you did not get any further with it, neither did I. This statement first appeared in the book of Habakkuk in one of theContinue reading “The way to please God”
Greed and the desire to possess
We commonly say “too much of anything isn’t good for you” and that is true. The goal with everything we do, have or consume is always to do so in moderation. Not too much, not too little, just enough is what we aim for. I believe that is why Jesus taught us to pray “giveContinue reading “Greed and the desire to possess”
The spiritual discipline of prayer
This is one of the spiritual disciplines that most Christians struggle with irrespective of their denominations. Yet it is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines and one that the Lord expects his followers to continue to do. I wonder why this is a difficult discipline to do for Christians considering that prayer is notContinue reading “The spiritual discipline of prayer”
The slow work of perseverance
There are many words that have a similar connotation and we call them synonyms. An example, of it are ‘perseverance’ and ‘endurance’. Synonyms are particularly helpful because they help us to convey the right meaning and not be redundant in our communication. The bible contains many such words that can be used interchangeably. In additionContinue reading “The slow work of perseverance”
The main thing
This life is unpredictable. You can never tell what will happen next. Even when you plan things out carefully, there is always a chance that things might not turn the way you expect it to. Not a single person’s life is the same, not even ones from the same womb like twins. It is fascinatingContinue reading “The main thing”
Resolutions: a new year’s habit
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), “those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). These are promises that are found in the bible and they are true because “God is not a man that He should lie, nor theContinue reading “Resolutions: a new year’s habit”
Immutable and omnipresent God
If there is a theme that has come up again and again in my scripture reading time this week, it’s the immutable character of God. From the psalms to Malachi where I camped, I kept hearing this concept. What does it mean that God is immutable? Are there any implications to that character of HisContinue reading “Immutable and omnipresent God”
A job well done
As believers in the Lord, we all aspire to have these words said to us by our heavenly Father: “well done, good and faithful servant… enter into your master’s rest” (Matthew 25:23). This is honourable and we should seek this praise from our Lord. However, to attain such a praise is not an easy taskContinue reading “A job well done”
