Paul opens the fifth chapter of the book of Galatians with this bold statement: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” (Galatians 5:1). There is no other reason why we have been set free, except to be free! The sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God on the cross did moreContinue reading “Freedom is your portion”

Going back to the Source
We talk about it, we sing about it, we “feel” it, we say that is all we need in life, we say that it is stronger than hate, we say that it is the antidote to the many wars we have but I wonder, how many of us actually know what love is and howContinue reading “Going back to the Source”
On living sacrificially
I don’t know of anyone in the bible whose passion for the gospel surpassed that of Paul. It is clear that the encounter Paul had with Jesus radically changed his life to the point that he would boldly declare “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.Continue reading “On living sacrificially”
On the flesh
We live in the end times and more than ever, I believe it is time for the church, the bride of Jesus Christ to get herself ready for the day of the Lord. Part of getting herself ready is by learning to submit herself to the teaching of the Lord, learning to die to herself.Continue reading “On the flesh”
Your affections for Christ
When we are in Christ, we become the Lord Jesus’ slave which is to say we become a ‘slave to righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). What a great condition! We are bound to only be righteous, doing anything other than righteousness becomes unlike us. It is quite beautiful when you think about it, we who were ounceContinue reading “Your affections for Christ”
For your good
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”
