I saw something in my devotion the other morning that has given me a lot to reflect on, and it is part of a commentary relating to John 7:37-39, as follows: “The river of living water flows within you and me. It is not supposed to be stopped up, but it is to bubble up… Continue reading Unleashed To Reach For The Sky
Make others feel good; sounds odd, does it not, especially in this era of “self-worship” and “self-adoration”. As a very dear friend said many years ago, “I am the centrepiece, why should I step aside for you”, referring to her oldest sibling (miss Diva herself). It is hard to focus on others when we… Continue reading Learning the Fine Art of Encouragement
Sometimes my thoughts send me meandering along some very interesting paths. One of these paths has always been sheer wonderment about the power of the Word of God. One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is this fact, that people have been worshiping God since the time of Jesus until now. Reflect… Continue reading The Everlasting Word
The story of Hannah is one of pain and deep yearning. Hannah is one of the two wives of Elkanah, the Ephraimite. The name of the other wife in this account is Peninnah. Hannah was constantly tormented by Peninnah because she had no children. Before I continue, let me digress a bit, now who would… Continue reading Hannah’s Story
As believers, we are called to impact others by our lifestyle and draw others to Christ. We need to stop and reflect regularly on the influence that we are having on the people around us. There is a popular saying out there that, “the only Bible that some people will ever read is you, the believer.”… Continue reading Seeking the Living God: “When Ignorance Is Not Bliss”.
Life is a process of constant growth and renewal. Growth is an absolute necessity in life. It is always important to take a look at where you have been, and where you are going. Otherwise, you will be reduced to a life of mediocrity and unfruitfulness. It is true that we sometimes get stuck in… Continue reading Moving From Mount Horeb to the Next Level (Deuteronomy 1:6)
So the other day, I happened to be reading the book of Proverbs, chapter 11 to be precise, when I made an interesting observation. I was struck by how the verse 7 reminded me of another scripture that I had come across in my previous readings. The verse 7 reads “When a wicked man dies,… Continue reading Who Are You Trusting In?
It has been rather hard getting back into the swing of things after the Christmas holidays. The days of staying up late, getting up whenever you want have come and gone. One must now deal with becoming robotic once more; responding to the incessant ringing of alarm bells every morning. If you are a light… Continue reading Staying Alert
The birth of Jesus, today, appears to be all about presents. To me it is about His presence. Can you imagine, an angel foretelling His birth to His mother, Mary. Where are the mothers in the house, precious as our children are to us, did an angel foretell us of their births? Nooo, so this should… Continue reading Unto Us A Child is Born
I had the privilege to read one of the most profound verses in the Bible recently – It goes like this, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen …” (Luke 24: 5-6a). These powerful words were spoken to the women by two men in shining clothes at… Continue reading He Lives
