Evangelism – A Word Aptly Spoken

Thankfulness

I had the privilege this week of celebrating my birthday with my church family through singing and dancing. I had so much joy doing that and felt the sweet loving presence of my Father with me. The sweet aroma of Christ was being spread to all who partook in that singing and this is somethingContinue reading “Thankfulness”

In Ending Jeremiah

The book of Jeremiah ends with a succession of judgement prophecies on Israel’s enemies’ nations (see chapters forty-six through fifty-one). The LORD in His justice will not let the guilty go unpunished nor the sins of the guilty unaccounted for. In enacting His judgement, the LORD started first with His people and then moved toContinue reading “In Ending Jeremiah”

Keep Going

The Bible is a book of repetition. The same message is vehiculated in different ways all with the hope that it will sit in our hearts and produce fruit. I often wonder how slow we can be for God to repeat the same thing over and over and over again. The irony in all thisContinue reading “Keep Going”

The heart of God

Throughout the Bible, there are many stories that depict the character of God. At its core, the Bible is the story of a Husband who pursues His Bride which started with the people of Israel. This love story is what we would call “complicated” as the love is often one-sided and filled with disappointments forContinue reading “The heart of God”

God’s Unchanging Character

In my reading of Isaiah this week, I was struck by a verse that says, “You come to the help of those who do right, who remember your ways” (Isaiah 64:5). Another translation says, “you meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways” (ESV). This latter translation jumped out evenContinue reading “God’s Unchanging Character”

Fear is not your portion

As the title of this blog post suggests: “Fear is not your portion” if you are in Christ. Indeed, as a believer in the LORDJesus, there is no such thing as fear because our saviour and LORD has defeated any enemy we could have. He defeated sickness, defeated pain and suffering, defeated anxiety, defeated poverty, defeated fear andContinue reading “Fear is not your portion”

Still Standing

If there is something that I take comfort in in the Christian life, it is that Christians are never completely down. We are never out of the picture, the enemy may think he has finished us, but we always get back up. I have the image of a boxing match where we are fighting withContinue reading “Still Standing”

True Worship

One of the Verse of the Day this week on the Bible App was “for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name” (Luke 1:49). This verse puzzled me because in it you have two statements that do not usually follow each other, there is not even aContinue reading “True Worship”

The Grace of God

The words of the hymn “He will hold me fast” hold so much truth. Indeed, they bear witness to the truth of God’s character, that is, His faithfulness and trustworthiness as we see in our lives. How many of us can testify to the Lord’s amazing hand upon our lives? How many of us canContinue reading “The Grace of God”

The mercy of God

As I conclude my time in the book of Daniel, I must say it has been a delight to study the book. Unlike other times when I have read it, this time among the many points I got from the book, the humility of Daniel and the matchless wisdom of God were by far theContinue reading “The mercy of God”
