Aside from Christianity, I do not know of any religion that will ask you to count the cost of your decision to believe in God. One thing that is clear with the bible is that it will ask you hard questions, you will be confronted with existential questions that will force you to make aContinue reading “God’s way versus the way of the world”

When life throws you a curveball
Trusting in the Lord is what the Christian should do. There is no other way around it. The fact that the bible repeats it often also means it is not the norm yet it is crucial if we want to live under the kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Something that I have come toContinue reading “When life throws you a curveball”
Delighting in the Lord
If there is anything that the bible tells us to do it is to delight ourselves in the Lord (Psalm 37:4). If you are like me, you might wonder what that means. Perhaps, you have even searched for passages that talk about delighting yourself in the Lord or examples of men and women who haveContinue reading “Delighting in the Lord”
Being led astray
If there was ever a redundant theme in the New Testament letters, it was the warning on false doctrines and false teachers. The second letter of Paul to the Corinthian church is no exception (2 Corinthians 11:3). As important as it is to not deviate from the truth, what stroked me from the warning wasContinue reading “Being led astray”
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”
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”
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”
The benefits of scripture memorization
One of my goals this year is to memorize the book of Colossians. The practice of memorization is not an easy one because you constantly have to go back to what you have memorized otherwise you lose it. In fact I was chatting with an almost teenage child at church who supported that idea. ThatContinue reading “The benefits of scripture memorization”
Prayer that works
It’s a known fact that one of the spiritual disciplines we Christians struggle with is prayer. However, it is also one of the easiest spiritual disciplines and one we often engage in wrongly or with wrong motives. The bible calls us to pray without ceasing, and to pray the right way. Our priority in thisContinue reading “Prayer that works”
The spiritual discipline of prayer
This is one of the spiritual disciplines that most Christians struggle with irrespective of their denominations. Yet it is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines and one that the Lord expects his followers to continue to do. I wonder why this is a difficult discipline to do for Christians considering that prayer is notContinue reading “The spiritual discipline of prayer”
