“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”
Honouring and respecting the Lord
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”
God Almighty
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. Of all the creatures that the LordContinue reading “God Almighty”
God the Rewarder
When it comes to loving the Lord, in the bible, king David is my model. I do not know anyone else that had such a deep love for the Father as David had. No wonder he was called a man after God’s own heart. What always impressed me with David is how unsatisfied he wouldContinue reading “God the Rewarder”
Bearing Fruit
“We are people of habits!”, you might have heard it say before. The sooner a habit is formed the stronger is its grip on you. Habits also take time to become one, they do not just form overnight. A habit, as defined by Merriam-Webster is “an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly orContinue reading “Bearing Fruit”
The discipline of the word
There are many spiritual disciplines that we know are good for us Christians yet we suck at. Prayer is one of them. In all honesty, when I see how we treat prayers I am not surprised at how our lives turn out to be. But, my post today is not about prayer, I will leaveContinue reading “The discipline of the word”
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”
