‘No matter how fast you run, you won’t escape…… ’ (Amos 2:14 CEV). Problems don’t magically solve themselves because you refuse to deal with them. Actually, they multiply and no matter how fast you run, you will not escape and they won’t go away. Incidentally we cannot run, hide, push issue away forever, eventually we […]

“…who art thou that judgest another?” (James 4:12). Having a critical mind is a habit that sees the cup always half-full especially in respect of achievement made by others. It is a junior sister to the spirit of jealousy and selfishness. Aaron and his sister Miriam were so critical of their brother Moses whom God […]

‘By faith Noah…built an ark to save his family… ’ (Hebrews 11:7 NIV). Life is full of record breakers who can either be positive or negative.

‘…. Go and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. ’ (Prov 3:28). Giving or liberality is a gift; but at the same time, can be cultivated or developed by a willing heart. It is a divine covenant that an increase will only be possible by an art of […]

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful” (Proverbs 27:6). Correction is not palatable to children, young and old.

A house may have a strong foundation, but if the super-structure and the finishing work were poorly done, the beauty of the house will be lost though it was built on […]

Most often life choices and decisions determine how an individual may end. However with God’s factor, the equation can change and the end result plausible. That is why John 3:16 says: ‘whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life’ – it still comes down to personal choice. Twelve elders of Israel were […]

“Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy”. Matthew 5:7 Everyone (immaterial of his position) needs help (Psalm 121:1-2). It’s because human need is endless, while supplies are limited here on earth. A wise individual therefore should be connected to the unlimited source – El-shaddai God.

‘Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice’ (Ephesians 4:31). Bitterness is a bye product of a lot of let downs.
