The word of God is so simple yet so difficult at the same time! The principles that are found in the Bible are straightforward but often when one starts to put them in practice, one finds that they are easier said than done. What the LORD usually requires of His people is so plain toContinue reading “Dwelling in the Almighty”

The nature of God
This morning, I was reading the Verse of the Day from the YouVersion Bible app which was taken from Isaiah, and it said “…learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” (Isaiah 1:17). This is the desire of God for the world He created, He wantsContinue reading “The nature of God”
A call to tenacity
As I spend time reading the Psalms, I am quite struck by the fact that the psalmist knowingly or unknowingly teaches a fundamental lesson about not giving up: being tenacious. How do I see that, you ask? Simply from the repetition of the songs and the themes that they express. It is as though theContinue reading “A call to tenacity”
Walking in Power
When you read about the life of Jesus, it seems so common, so monotonous, banal even and it is easy to miss what he was showing us. This week I spent a few times in the book of John, the miracles Jesus did and how he spoke were so simple and plain yet commanded soContinue reading “Walking in Power”
Love in the Bible
I have been camping in the book of Romans for quite some time now and the first eleven chapters of the book focus on foundational doctrines on who we are before Christ, who we become in Christ, how the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross changes everything for a believer, the tension that exists betweenContinue reading “Love in the Bible”
The law of sin vs the law of God
I have been reading the book of Romans and in this book, a topic that comes often is the topic of salvation. In the book, Paul goes at length to expound on who we are before God, how we are saved, what happens to us when we are saved and how we should live onceContinue reading “The law of sin vs the law of God”
Waging War
In his second letter to the church of Corinth, Paul tells us that we do not wage war according to the flesh even though we walk in the flesh (2 Corinthians 10:3). What exactly did Paul mean by that and what war does he refer to? Are Christians in a war? The Bible tells usContinue reading “Waging War”
The Glory of God
Just mentioning the subject of the glory of God, I feel an inadequacy and humility as I know it not to be a simple matter. I have often heard pastors and worship leaders, mostly in the charismatic stream refer to the glory of God as a powerful “weighty” force if there is a way toContinue reading “The Glory of God”
Into the New
As I was reflecting on the past year, I thought of the unchanging character of God. Every year, He remains the same. He does not change; He requires the same level of commitment as He had the first time He saved us and made us His own. We on the other hand are ever changingContinue reading “Into the New”
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”
