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”
Being Watchful
“The fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink” (Isaiah 32:6). What a horrifying description of a fool that is! Have you ever thought of a fool as someone whoContinue reading “Being Watchful”

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”
Know the Lord
I have been following a chronological yearly Bible plan for my leisure reading and I have recently hit the book of Isaiah. It is a book packed with prophecies concerning the people of Israel, Zion, and Jerusalem. It is also a book where we get to see how the Lord speaks of His tender loveContinue reading “Know the Lord”
Living with resolve
No matter how hard physical training is, I do not know one person that has regretted going through it after seeing the results. Whether it is exercising in the gym, running out, swimming, or getting in some form of physical activity consistently, we often enjoy how we feel after the exercise. Indeed, we have severalContinue reading “Living with resolve”
The importance of identity
Human beings are fascinated with history. We love to record it, study it and learn from it. Previous generations studied generations before them and today we are studying the generation of our forefathers. These types of studies help us understand the world we live in, the culture we are forging and essentially where we comeContinue reading “The importance of identity”
The Favour of God
At times, when you read the word of God you wonder “what in the world is going on?” We must admit that God’s words can often seem far fetch or simply not just make sense. This alone should humble us because we don’t understand God. His ways are not ours indeed. I am reminded ofContinue reading “The Favour of God”
