In my devotion this morning, the story of the battle of Moses with the Amalekites was highlighted as a key text in my Bible plan: Squad Goals. In this war, the tide of the war was being controlled by the hands raised by Moses. The Israelites began to lose any time Moses showed signs ofContinue reading “WINNING THE WAR IN THE MIND”
THE EASTER BREAK
Hello readers! Pardon my prolonged absence from my blog. I know you all miss my blog posts and the stories I have to tell. I am at that point in my life where I am juggling a lot of things, trying to achieve them in the shortest possible time. In the last four months, IContinue reading “THE EASTER BREAK”
GRATITUDE
Over these last few days, God has been teaching me something about gratitude. In subtle ways about how gratitude is an essential key in our walk with Him. Over the past few months, I recall correctly, having to go through a very stressful ordeal for which I had to be on a hospital bed forContinue reading “GRATITUDE”
A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST
If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation; all things have passed away, and behold, the new has come. Many people think being a Christian exempts you from the daily struggles and challenges of life. This is not so! In the New Testament, Jesus encourages us to enter the narrow door insteadContinue reading “A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST”
SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND THE CHURCH
In recent times, the church has come under constant scrutiny. People have refrained from participating in church activities because they believe that the same people who profess Christ are the same people who engage in unspeakable crimes in our society. In my personal devotion last week, God is beginning to teach me something. This isContinue reading “SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND THE CHURCH”
THE MIND OF CHRIST
It is with the mind that we serve the Lord. The mind is indeed a battlefield. I have realized that in our walk with God we need to be transformed by the renewal of our minds daily. The Christian walk is a life-long journey. Being a Christian does not make you immune to the normalContinue reading “THE MIND OF CHRIST”
THE LOVE OF THE FATHER
Lately, I have understood that everything in life happens for a reason. It has been orchestrated from the beginning to happen and we are just in alignment with the orchestra, dancing to the tune of the harp and lyre being played. One thing I have begun to imbibe is, the closer you get to God,Continue reading “THE LOVE OF THE FATHER”
PRUDENCE
Knowledge is the principal thing. In all thy getting, get knowledge and above all, get understanding. My devotion this morning emphasizes how God expects us to beg for knowledge not search for knowledge. This means he is the source of all knowledge. Many of us want to live life on the edge and experience allContinue reading “PRUDENCE”
CHOICES
Like the classic Oliver Twist fable, we will always want more. When we drive a simple car, we always think upgrading that car will finally give us the satisfaction we desperately desire. This applies to desiring a bigger house, better job or fancy trip. We always get back to square one when these demands are met ultimately.
IMPERFECTIONS
In my devotional today, I learnt that community is necessary for growth as a believer. Fellowship is the hallmark of Christians. It is essential that we encourage each other in our day-to day activities and our walk as Christians. Seeking God is a conscious effort. It is just like growing up. It is normal toContinue reading “IMPERFECTIONS”
INFLUENCE
My devotion this sunrise spoke about the power of influence. About how influence helps in impacting other people’s lives and reaching out to help others. This is a snippet of what I learnt. Influence is defined as the power to change or affect someone or something. This is also defined as the power to causeContinue reading “INFLUENCE”
