One of the qualities that are unique to God is that He does wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure (Isaiah 25:1). Indeed, He is the only God who announces what He will do before He does what He says He will do. Moreover, when what He announces comes to pass, it stillContinue reading “Working out your salvation”

Boasting in the Flesh
The way of the LORD is sure to make one pause and question oneself because it is often contrary, if not always to human logic or rationale. Many of the prophets in the Bible had to do things that were non sensical to our intelligent brains. Indeed, to the LORD, the wisdom of this worldContinue reading “Boasting in the Flesh”
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 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”
Strong Faith
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”
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”
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”
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”
