The heart is a powerful organ that dictates many of our actions. Indeed, the bible knows how powerful it is because it warns us in the following way: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23). This proverb teaches us that we must protect our hearts or “keepContinue reading “The heart”

Know the LORD
“Hear O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:4-5). This is the number one commandment the people of Israel were meant to obey. Jesus called it the first and the greatest oneContinue reading “Know the LORD”
A call to yieldedness
Throughout the bible, prophets were used by God to warn the people, to speak God’s messages and to serve as examples to the nations. Much of a prophet’s life was dictated by the Lord himself and it looked strange to outsiders. But as we will see, prophets were first and foremost yielded to the wordContinue reading “A call to yieldedness”
Introduction to the book of Ezekiel
God moves in mysterious ways and He speaks to us in many forms. He is inexhaustible as Trip Lee had coined. His wisdom is so infinite you can never see Him coming. This week, I was reminded of how good God is and how He orchestrates situations in the background simply to bless us. AsContinue reading “Introduction to the book of Ezekiel”
Lessons from the Judean remnant
God is sovereign. You knew that. His sovereignty allows Him to be in control of everything. He is also omniscient which means He knows everything, the beginning from the end. These two attributes alone allow God to never be taken by surprise. On top of that, God is omnipotent. He has the power to doContinue reading “Lessons from the Judean remnant”
The Supremacy of Christ
This week I have been blessed by the study of the book of Colossians. I personally do not know of any book of the bible that elevates Christ the way Colossians does. To think that much of this knowledge about Christ came to us through a man, the apostle Paul is beyond incredible. God inContinue reading “The Supremacy of Christ”
Observations from Jeremiah
The book of Jeremiah has been an interesting read so far. More than prophecies, in it I find the heart and burden of a prophet, I see the predicament of what it means to be chosen and I see glimpses of the heart of God. The setting of the book of Jeremiah is during aContinue reading “Observations from Jeremiah”
Meditations from the week
I have had the privilege of spending time with family this week and while it’s been busy, the Lord has allowed me to make room for Himself. Indeed, the Lord continued to speak as I found moments to spend time in His words or having fellowship with like-minded believers. I am realizing more and moreContinue reading “Meditations from the week”
The courage for righteousness
“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7). This is the portion of a believer, we have been given power, love and self-discipline or sound mind as other translations have it. I personally prefer the ‘sound mind’ rendition because itContinue reading “The courage for righteousness”
Being Set Apart
As Christians, we often desire to be used by God for His purposes. Many of us sing it, pray about it and even long for it. Yet, I believe not many of us understand the implications of being used for the purposes of God. We do not understand what being ‘chosen’, being ‘set apart’, beingContinue reading “Being Set Apart”
