In cultures where kingdoms and monarchy still exist, it is a normal thing to see the authority a king, a chief or a monarch has over the people and the land they govern. The king’s wishes are often treated as instructions or commands. In such cultures, the people understand what an instruction is and theyContinue reading “Honouring and respecting the Lord”

Salvation belongs to our God
One of the many characters of God is that He is Yeshua, the “God who saves”. Indeed, throughout the bible we are told that “vengeance is the Lord’s” (Romans 12:19) or that “salvation belongs to the Lord” (Psalm 3:8). Two of the most prominent voices in the bible that incarnate that concept of salvation belongingContinue reading “Salvation belongs to our God”
The Power of the Word
The word of God is filled with encouragement and promises for His people. It is impossible to read the word of God and leave unchanged. Indeed, whenever we come into contact with the word of God we are not left the same. This week, as I was reading the word, I came across these truthsContinue reading “The Power of the Word”

We, humans have the tendency to be our own gods. The advancement of technology and the many exploits we have been able to accomplish as a race often make us think we are so knowledgeable and above others in all that we do and that puffs us up.

A call to die to self
As we get closer to the Easter celebration or Resurrection Sunday as some call it, I am reminded of the amazing sacrifice Jesus displayed on the cross and cannot help but think of his own call to us to follow him. Every time we have communion as believers, we remember what Christ did on theContinue reading “A call to die to self”
Why we miss the salvation of the Lord
You have heard it say many times that God’s ways are not our ways and that as far as the heavens are from the earth so are His thoughts from ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). However, even with such knowledge in the back of our minds, we still find ourselves dealing with God like He is ourContinue reading “Why we miss the salvation of the Lord”
Proverbs 31
I have been reading the book of Proverbs for the past month and it has now come to an end. As I finish reading this book, I cannot help but say a few words on the last chapter of the book. I don’t know much about the history of the compilation of the book ofContinue reading “Proverbs 31”
