The Mandate

So the question that faces a lot of new converts and even better still long time Christians. I’m a Christian, what do i do now? or How do I serve Him. Jesus in Matthew 10 answered this question in detail in the ordination of His disciples. He is said to have given his disciples power…

Keep Calm, God’s in control!

Cold winds blowing violently, sudden darkness engulfing, winds howling, thunder cracking, lighting. Tumultuous waves rock a small boat to and fro and out of course. Certain death awaits the passengers of this little boat caught in the eye of the storm on the Sea of Galilee (Matt 8:25). Matthew 8: 23 gives us a vivid…

Loving God

We are often times faced with a choice, of dedicating our self, time, money or effort into something which we may not necessarily fully understand. A medical student decides to dedicate a number of years in school to learn, knowing but not necessarily understanding the toll of those late nights and coffee drunk mornings. Matt…

The Miracle Worker

Matthew 8 hit me like a ton of bricks. I have read Matthew, especially these chapters as a sort of fantasy book. You know the way you watch Star trek , Star wars and guardians of the galaxy. I know in the back of my head however that the movies are fictional, shot in green…

Fruits & Foundations

In Matt 7:15, Jesus talks about being aware of false prophets; how will you know them? By their fruits. Paul sets a standard for church leaders in 1 Tim 3. v1 ” If any man desire the office of a bishop…he must be blameless,with one wife,vigilant,sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach,…

Judging, Seeking & Heaven

First off I would like to apologise for my previous post. Unfortunately there were some grammatical errors which slipped through due to technical reasons. I’m sorry to my readers and I will do better. But then its so nice that we start off this post with Matthew 7:1, Judge not, that ye be not judged……see…

Fasting, Money & Worry

Fasting……. I remember my early days of fasting. Fasting was always a 6am to 6pm affair with the option for 6am to 12pm or 3pm if you were not fit. I use to say I am too fit so I’m fasting 6 to 6. I would inevitably on the first day find myself at 1…

Born this way or Born again

You say you were born this way…..you say this is how you feel you should be this is who you think you are . It strange because nowadays , when the topic of sexual orientation and identity comes around , people shy away but i really want to say something. I was born this way…..i’ve heard…

Unconditional Love

I often sit and wonder and ask myself, if i truly understand, the depth of your love for me I have felt the love of a father, a mother, a brother, a friend, and a special someone. I have often seen the conditionality of love and I’ve often given it out conditionally You say you…

Matthew 6: Giving & Praying

Matthew 6 begins with Jesus preaching once again about our attitude, this time to giving. 2 Cor 9, is a sweet praise to the Macedonian church about their willingness to give. v6 says  “he who sows sparingly, reaps sparingly and he who sows bountifully, reaps bountifully”.The v8 and v9 of the same chapter tell us…
