PROVERBS 15:3 In Revelation 2:2, Jesus told the church in Ephesus “I know your works.” He had intimate knowledge of all they were doing or not doing. This knowledge was not hazy on the details. It was sharp and clear, like a well taken photograph. The Ephesians would have had mixed feelings about this. On one … [Read more…]

LUKE 18:7-8a Something happens when we pray that would not have happened if we had not prayed. Though I resonate with the above statement, I also realize it applies to true believers. Millions of people on the earth will not find something happening when they pray because they have no access to the Father’s throne through … [Read more…]

1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 Most times gratitude does not make sense to those unfamiliar with the habit of cultivating a thankful heart. More so, when circumstances are not favourable. The Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances, not just when things are going well. We have the assurance of God’s love and salvation. No matter what … [Read more…]

MATTHEW 24:44 In this era, we seldom hear much about the last days and the Lord’s return. Have we stopped looking for the Lord’s return? Have we forgotten how important it is to live a life pleasing unto Him? Have we forgotten how necessary it is to tell as many people as we can about the … [Read more…]

Note that when our hearts are right with God, we always rejoice when a sinner repents, as that is His desire too. It appears that all the older brother’s … [Read more…]

Maybe it was for convenience of transport and to save time that the stones were dressed in the quarries, but … [Read more…]

LUKE 21:34 Overloading of any ship is dangerous to its operation and stability. An overloaded ship will be difficult to handle, especially in an emergency or bad weather. Overloaded vessels also tend to use excessive fuel and are more likely to swamp or capsize. How about us? What is in our ‘lives shopping cart’? Sometimes we … [Read more…]

DEUTERONOMY 4:29 There are no certainties in life. The world has changed drastically and it will keep changing. In the fog of uncertainties it can be hard to see anything good that God might be doing. But do we realize that sometimes God uses the blinding fog of a crisis to help us find Him? Crisis is … [Read more…]

LUKE 12:7 The hairs on our heads are very important. From time to time we either make them more presentable or cut them to look smart. The Lord Jesus, from our text, tells us that they are also counted by God (and Him alone can do this). The point is, God loves and values each of us. … [Read more…]

MARK 6:14-29 As i mark another day of my birth today, i woke up to remember John (my namesake) who was murdered at a birthday party. While Jesus was carrying out His ministry, the one who introduced Him had no such liberty. John the Baptist was in prison. He had openly declared that it was wrong for King … [Read more…]
