The first time I heard the phrase ‘stayed on you’ was from a gospel song and I thought to myself ‘what kind of English is this?’ thinking at first that it was a mistake in the words being used. However, I remember being struck by the expression itself. And I often would find myself mullingContinue reading “For your good”

Souls of men
Change is something we humans do not like much. It makes us uncomfortable, uneasy, out of place and more. We are capable of fighting it, in fact we fight change with every fiber in our being, good or bad which is quite interesting. Whoever we are, we have a natural inclination to oppose change butContinue reading “Souls of men”
Do not give up
The bible is filled with many exhortations about persevering, not giving up, holding on, waiting on the Lord, looking up to the Lord in times of trouble or when nothing is working. One would think with so many exhortations Christians would be experts at persevering and waiting on the Lord but that is sadly notContinue reading “Do not give up”
Fellowship
There is something powerful about the gathering of believers. When brothers and sisters come together to spend time in prayer and worship, something supernatural happens. God resides in their midst at that moment and is pleased to dwell there. As it says “Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22:3). WeContinue reading “Fellowship”
Glorifying God
The book of John is such an exceptional retelling of the life of Jesus that makes it hard to leave without seeing the heart of Jesus. Unlike the other gospels which focus on the facts surrounding what Jesus did, or which places he visited, or who he saved and performed miracles on, the book ofContinue reading “Glorifying God”
The light has come
We recently came off a sermon series at church called “CrossWords” which were essentially about the last words of Jesus on earth while he was on the cross. I am still amazed at how much truth and wisdom was shared from Jesus final words on the cross such as “I thirst”, “It is finished”, “FatherContinue reading “The light has come”
A living testimony
If there is someone during Jesus’ time who embodied that in the literal sense it is certainly Lazarus, Jesus’ friend and the brother of Martha and Mary. As Christians, our lives should be living testimonies of the grace and power of God at work in us. This is where we usually ask questions like “WhatContinue reading “A living testimony”
A model relationship
As human beings, one thing we cannot do without is relationships because we are relational people. This is how we were created and it shows in the way we interact with others. When we are alone, we do not do well, we become depressive, as a matter of fact, the pandemic has shown too manyContinue reading “A model relationship”
Be expectant.
The gospel of John is probably the only gospel that introduces Jesus holistically. In it, we get to see his humanity in a deeper way as John describes his many acts yet at the same time we see his deity portrayed throughout the book and established by John in the opening lines. John was certainlyContinue reading “Be expectant.”
A life of consecration
When we give our lives to Christ we become ‘slaves to righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). We change masters and move from the dominion of darkness to the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:14). This means, we no longer respond to the demands of our old master, we no longer obey him. In this case, our old masterContinue reading “A life of consecration”
