Every person goes through times of drought or dry seasons, when we don’t see the changes we hoped for. We’ve got big dreams, we’re standing on God’s promises, but things stay the same. It’s dry and barren. Maybe you are blessed in one area and a drought in another. It’s easy to think, “This is […]
David said in Psalm 139, “God, I praise You because You have amazingly made me. What You have done is wonderful.” Notice what followed David’s “I am.” He was not in pride but in praise to God. Now, that goes against human nature. Most of us think, “Nothing is amazing about me. Nothing wonderful. I’m […]
When things happen in your life that you don’t plan, do you find yourself trying to reason it all out or look for a “file” (so to speak) in your mind to put it in? What happens when you can’t reason it out or make sense of it all? Here’s the answer: We need to […]
God wants you to live completely satisfied in Him, but so many people have a misconception about what will satisfy them. Scripture tells us that when we hunger and thirst for righteousness, then we will live in complete satisfaction. You direct your hunger by choosing what you focus on. For example, if you focus on […]
Whilst traveling, I often get confused by Christian congregations who look sad and miserable, as if they have no hope. Even in worship, our time to celebrate our God for who He is and what He has done, we take the non biblical stance of silence, uniformity and inaction. I remember after Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan scored a […]
After reading many prayer requests, I realised that many asked the “why” question. Throughout life, we may experience sorrows for which there are no adequate explanations. Some are difficult events with far-reaching effects, while others are personal, private tragedies that alter our individual lives and families forever. We want to know why, but we seem […]
In 2015, the news reported a horrible tragedy: the body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi had washed up on a beach near Bodrum, Turkey. Alan’s family of Syrian refugees were trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to a Greek island when their inflatable boat capsized. This tragedy testified to the refugees’ desperation: they chose to risk […]
I once heard about a church called “Church on the Move.” It was a congregation quite different from the tradition I am used to, and the church’s name has stuck with me. I have come to appreciate the meaning behind the name of that church. Church life can be static and stale for many of […]
It’s much easier to challenge others to do evangelism, than to be personally involved in it. This is especially true if we find ourselves in a leadership position. One key biblical principle, is that leaders must do what they call others to do. A leader does not hang back waiting to see what others are […]
Recently there has been an increase of storms and many countries have been battered. We all face storms in life, but during those times, we have to remember that Almighty God is greater than any struggle we face! He’ll take those challenges and use them to strengthen us, but we have to do our part and take a step of […]
The Sabbath, according to biblical teachings, holds a unique and enduring significance that transcends the event of sin entering the world. Understanding the origins and purpose of the Sabbath provides insight into why it is seen as an eternal practice rather than something contingent upon the presence of sin. The Origin of the Sabbath The […]
Jacob was defeated, but he wouldn’t just give up. He wanted something in return – a blessing. How bad do you want to be blessed? This was normal for Jacob, who was always trying to get something from someone. It’s nervy to think of demanding a blessing from someone who has just gotten the best […]
I must tell you the hard truth: I am not naturally a very sad person. But because of genetics, chemical malfunction, and a history of some bad theology, I’ve struggled with depression. I have sometimes met with counsellors, and I have sometimes used the medications they prescribed. I fully believe in Jesus, but I can relate too well to today’s verses. Though […]
Remember: Christ is the hope for the broken-hearted. Pain is real. He felt it. Heartbreak is inevitable. He experienced it. Tears come. His did. Betrayal happens. He was betrayed. He knows. He sees. He understands. He loves deeply, in ways we can’t even fathom. When your heart breaks when the pain comes, when the whole thing […]
God has given each of us gifts, and He’s given us the grace, the supernatural power to operate in those gifts. In other words, if God has called you to do something, He has equipped you by His grace. Scripture says that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. That means, when we […]
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “Actions speak louder than words.” One of my friends at university “oozed” the fruit of the Spirit. His kindness, gentleness, joy, and patience were evident. As people saw this, they were attracted to him, and opportunities to share his faith were multiplied. Scripture says, the Spirit of God gave […]
