The character of Daniel in the Bible has been a challenging one to read. There are so many facets about him that I find shake me in my faith. As much as I find him challenging, the truth is, I want to emulate him and be like him. One of those character traits is hisContinue reading “Strong Faith”

God’s sovereignty and Us
If you are like me, when you hear a statement like “God is sovereign”, it gives you peace but it can also leave you perplexed as you wonder what exactly that means and whether or not you should do anything. When we are facing difficulties, it lifts the burden on us when we realize andContinue reading “God’s sovereignty and Us”
Eyes on the Prize
This week I was pondering upon Solomon’s life. I did not randomly start thinking about Solomon but as I read the ending of his life in 1 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles, I could not help but wonder how he managed to fall so miserably. Since he was the wisest man the earth has everContinue reading “Eyes on the Prize”
Clinging to His words
The book of Daniel is probably the only book of the Bible with the most supernatural elements. From dreams to visions, to manifestations of those, there is indeed quite a lot to grasp. If we are honest, much of the content on the visions and dreams laid out in the book of Daniel does notContinue reading “Clinging to His words”
The Pursuit of holiness
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This statement of Jesus is one that many take offence at. Because his claims are outright exclusive, authoritative and appear arrogant, people tend to resent him and Christianity for that. However, throughout his life,Continue reading “The Pursuit of holiness”
Humility: the portion of the Christian
It has been a month since my last post. Life got busy and sadly, I was not able to set time aside to write nor was I in the capacity to do so. However, in all this busyness, I am thankful that the Lord was continually with me, He never left me and unlike me,Continue reading “Humility: the portion of the Christian”
On Abiding
This past week was tough. I was not in the best of shape physically and to make matters worse I had agreed to support a family member in some spiritual exercise so I had to be on my A-game. Unfortunately, I was just weak, physically, spiritually and mentally. I did not feel like pushing, inContinue reading “On Abiding”
The Cry to Abide
“May I abide in you”. That is the cry of my heart. Although, this is a touching cry and longing, it does not matter how pious my words are, it does not matter how true my words are, it does not matter how deep my words are, nor does it matter how heartfelt my wordsContinue reading “The Cry to Abide”
Legacy
This weekend, my church is celebrating its 110th anniversary! I know, it is a big deal, and it is on a personal level a privilege to be part of it. One thing I am most grateful for is the legacy it is leaving behind which is one of faithfulness in the Lord. Not many ofContinue reading “Legacy”
Looking to the Immutable One
“Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey”. Such are the words from the nineteenth century hymn which are still so true today. If there is one thing we know as Christians, it is that we serve God and we answer to Him, not theContinue reading “Looking to the Immutable One”
