Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:27 We spend a lot of time worrying over things that we cannot change. The bible asks a very appropriate question, “And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?” It does not end...
A story is told, of a father and his son who had been planning for a while, to go mountain climbing. They made all the necessary plans before the day and got all the equipment that was needed for the great task ahead of them. On the D day, they woke up early enough, put their stuff together and set out towards the mountain. They began the long trudge up and all seemed to go well at the beginning. Something however went wrong when they got...
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 1 John 2:19 We, the human race are social by nature and that explains why we have the need to be with each other. In one’s lifetime, bonds will be created and bonds will be broken-this is a given. The problem however is that we have not always...
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Eph 3:20 Most of us are so short sighted-We want to limit God to our “smallness”. What we need to understand is that, our God is the creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is within. Think of the beautiful flowers that we see, the variety of fishes in the waters, the wonderful trees that provide...
“Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him. With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” 2 Chron 32:7,8 These were the words of Hezekiah, King of Judah, to his people. The scene here is interesting because of the reality on the ground. Sennacherib,...
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” Heb 13:5 God had led the children of Israel from the land of Egypt through the wilderness, to the promised land. Along the way, God dissected the Red sea into two to create a path for them to pass. He created water for them to drink in waterless desert, food to eat, and eventually...
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Phil 1:6 We are all like runners in a race. The race is a little unconventional because we are not competing against each other. In a conventional race, the runners are awarded according to who gets to the finish line first.In this race however, everyone who finishes is a winner. In this race, a great many start, but...
The law of change is constant. As sure as the planet earth turns on it’s axis around the sun, change will be rest assured. Children are born - grow into mature adults - into old age and eventually, they die. Those are changes. Our houses and cars wear down, diseases devolep while others disappear. Those are all changes. The good news is that all of God’s children are assured of one who does not change-God. Psalm 102:25-27 “Of...
Eph 6:13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” As i sit here at my desk, memories of The Katrina Disaster engulf my mind. What I still don’t understand fully, is how those massive flood walls and levees constructed by the “Us Army Corps Of Engineers” could collapse, resulting to the high magnitude catastrophe that was witnessed....
Every believer confesses to have faith in Christ. Indeed Jesus Christ talked about it. Its amazing how he knows how little faith we have, no wonder he said that if we can be able to muster as little faith as a mustard seed, then the Almighty God will give us the power to move mountains, He will give you the power to go through that problem that right now seems insurmountable. Do you remember the apostle Peter? He is an amazing man to read...
