“Be holy, because I am holy”. This command is stated in the book of 1 Peter and references the command by God to the Israelites in the book of Leviticus. The sentiment echoed here is the same for us believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We too are to be holy for our God isContinue reading “The resolve of faithful servants”

The favoured ones
There are many stories of people in the bible who were shown favour by God. Many of these men and women were used by God for His purposes. I have started reading the book of Daniel and I am fascinated by it. Daniel and his friends are peculiar in every way. They stand out inContinue reading “The favoured ones”
Taking God at His word
As Christians, we are called to take God at His words, simply put, we are called to obey. Because we live by faith and not by sight, that obedience might look crazy to the eyes of this world including our own nevertheless that is what we must do. However, I suspect our problem with thatContinue reading “Taking God at His word”
God with us.
“Fear not” or “Be strong and courageous” have to be some of the most repeated commands in the bible. One reason God always add to such commands is that: He is with us. I personally love how God says it in Isaiah “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is IContinue reading “God with us.”
The Mighty God
The book of Ezekiel has been very enlightening so far. I assumed it would be another prophetic book like Isaiah or Jeremiah but it is quite impressive what the Holy Spirit can reveal in a book that is similar in genre. Indeed, God speaks in many ways.

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”
