Do more
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:58) Your best days of serving God should not be behind you. Paul exhorts us to always give our best and to...
-
By the Kebar River
Ezekiel had amazing visions of God, not in a place of prayer or worship, but by the Kebar River while waiting to be taken into exile. This teaches us not to limit God’s speaking to moments of active fellowship, because sometimes He speaks in the most routine and ordinary activities of our day.
-
Graphe (6)
The graphe does not give eternal life; it points to the One who has eternal life. It testifies about Jesus. Do you see Him when you read the graphe? Do you see Jesus in the stories of Abraham and Isaac, Jacob and Esau, Joseph, Samson, Esther, and the prophets? He is the central message the graphe...
-
Graphe (5)
God hardly ever fits into our traditional viewpoint. He rejected every firstborn; from Ishmael to Jacob, to Reuben, to Manasseh, to Eliab and the list continues. We forget that we must fit into God's modus operandi, not the other way around. Hence many of us are not effectively harnessing the...
-
Graphe (4)
Error is unavoidable when one is ignorant of the graphe. The mess in various areas of our lives is a reflection of our lack of investment in the graphe. Most of us suffer from religious frustrations because while God has given us a guide for our walk with Him, we have abandoned it for our own...
-
Graphe (3)
The graphe gives us the legal backing to speak and act on behalf of God. On what grounds does a Christian pray for the sick, reach out to the lost, or cast out devils? The graphe gives us the backing and confidence to do so. The graphe is eternal and will outlast everything, both seen and unseen.
-
The Graphe (2)
Rahab risked her life because she believed without reservation what she had heard about the God of Israel. Daniel committed his life to prayer and fasting because he believed what he read from Jeremiah. When you pick up the graphe, do you know that God is speaking to you?
-
The Graphe (1)
The rich man requests that his brothers might repent if they have some sort of supernatural encounter with someone from the dead. But Abraham informs him that if they do not believe what has already been documented by the prophets of old, such encounters will not produce genuine repentance. Do…
more -
Hands of Zerubbabel (2)
The hands of Zerubbabel always start with what is already in them. You must understand this: if you do not kill the lion and the bear in the wilderness, God will never bring you before Goliath. Where you are right now is exactly where you need to be to begin the journey toward the great…
more -
Hands of Zerubbabel (1)
Zerubbabel's hands are working hands, the hands that lay the foundation and bring the work to completion according to God's purpose. Yet many who are in need would rather sit and beg than put their hands to work. Paul understood this, which is why he said he labored more than all the other...
-
Friendship lessons from God (2)
Friendship thrives on openness, not secrecy. God demonstrated this when He revealed His plans to Abraham. Jesus showed us the same when He said, "I no longer call you servants, but friends, for all that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you."
-
Friendship lessons from God (1)
In Christianity, friendship is key. God shows us how through His friendship with Abraham, He visited him, asked him questions, and hid nothing from him. That’s why Jesus calls us friends, not slaves, because He has revealed the Father to us.
-
Friends of Job (2)
God never directly told Job why he suffered, and He didn't answer every accusation laid against Him. He simply revealed Himself: "I am God; the Uncreated Creator." There are seasons in life we won't understand, even if God tried to explain them. But of this we can be fully assured: God is for us.
-
Friends of Job (1)
What amazing friends Job had. Their conversations were theologically rich. They stayed with him through his darkest season — they mourned with him, comforted him, and made themselves available to him. So, evaluate yourself: what kind of friend are you?
-
No exemption (3)
No child of God is excused from seasons that make us feel cheated. These seasons are not wasted God uses them to shape virtue in us. So many relationships fail at this point, because we hate feeling taken advantage of. But Jesus taught a different way: "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go…
more -
No exemption (2)
God is a Tester. There are no exemptions with Him. Everyone who has received abundantly from God first passed the test of handling little. So whenever you desire more and cry out for increase, know this: You must pass the test of the little things first.
-
No exemption (1)
Parents naturally want to shield their kids from the struggles they faced — and that’s understandable. But by doing that, we miss teaching them what those struggles taught us, so they can reach what we’ve reached. God does the opposite. He cares more about who we become than what we gain. Even...
-
We need help (2)
Ironically, the one person capable of solving their biggest problems is the same person they asked to leave. It’s a sad reality for many of us today. Pride, fear, bitterness, and arrogance keep us from receiving help that’s already available.
-
We need help (1)
Unless you’re God — self-sufficient and self-sustaining — you will need help. When God walked the earth, He needed help from both men and angels. There would be no David without Jonathan, and no Prime Minister Joseph without the butler’s recommendation. We all need help
-
No flesh should glory in His presence
When dealing with God, He is very particular about ensuring that all glory goes to Him alone. This can be a painful process for the child of God. God will take us through experiences to keep our eyes on Him alone, so we know without a shadow of a doubt that all we are and all we have is the work…
more -
God of Synchronization (1)
Phenological synchrony in biology shows that species evolve to match each other’s timing. Even a small disruption can put them at risk. If God keeps all of nature in sync, how much more will He coordinate the lives of His children toward the good end He planned for us.
-
Write it down (2)
We have the Bible because people obeyed God and documented their journey and dealings with Him. As believers, journaling our walk with God is essential. It creates a system that helps us remember what He has done in our lives, the words He has spoken, and the roadmaps He has revealed to us.Write,...
-
Write it down (1)
Remembrance is an important virtue. Academic excellence is tied directly to your ability to remember what was taught during lessons. Those who do not remember become victims of ingratitude, pride, and bad choices. We must be intentional about creating systems in our lives to help us remember.
-
Known and located
Desperation causes us to be insensitive to people and to seek help in strange places. For some reason, we think we are just a statistic to God, so we will do anything and everything to engineer our way out, forgetting that we are known and located by God. The Lord knows those who are His!
-
Stay in the fight
The deeper Jesus loves you, the longer the delay can feel. Job was dear to God, and still endured suffering no one should face in one lifetime. We keep pressing on to fulfill God’s will, because the ones who persevere are the ones called blessed.
-
Queen Vashti (3)
All that Vashti had came from her access to the king. The gift of access is one we often fail to recognize, because many of us think something only has value if it’s money.
-
Queen Vashti (2)
Vashti’s decision produced permanent consequences from a temporary circumstance. Abraham’s choice to lie with Sarah’s maidservant did the same. We continue to repeat this error because we lack foresight regarding the lasting impact of our decisions.
-
Queen Vashti (1)
There have been mighty men and women, kingdoms, and warriors that ruled the world - people who made the whole world tremble at their presence. Today, we just read about them as history, unable to relate. We may wield great control, might, and fame in a particular sphere, but remember, you'll be...
-
Barnabas
We all need constant encouragement and edification, but we often trivialize it, which is why we are full fear, resentment, bitterness, and offense. We get cleansed from these whenever we're exposed to the Word of God. That's why we can't take regular exposure to God's Word and fellowship with…
more -
Awake, O sleeper.
We're saved for a purpose. This is why we're saved and translated to heaven. There's an assignment for everyone in Christ - one that goes beyond bread, butter, and self. An assignment that places restraints on us, one the pressures of life will try to rob us of. This is a call to saved and...
-
What does it mean to be born again (3)
Christianity isn't about us; it's about what God did for us through Christ Jesus. It's not about our actions or abilities, but about expressing God's life through us. Jesus sets the standard – He's the focus, not us. And with Him, we can do all things because He strengthens us.
-
What does it mean to be born again? (2)
To be born again is to respond to the message of Jesus Christ. It is to accept the gift of God, which is in Jesus, and is done by believing with your heart and confessing the lordship of Jesus. It is called a gift because we contribute nothing to it; it is freely given
-
What does it mean to be born again? (1)
From the examples of Nicodemus and Cornelius, being a religious person, a giver, knowledgeable in scripture, morally upright, and even having angelic encounters doesn't mean one is born again. Every person born of a man and a woman inherits a sinful nature. Just as physical birth qualifies us for...
-
Six prayers for 2026(6)
The ant is able to gather food for winter because it exercises self-control. The ability to delay gratification is non-negotiable if one wants to gather. The ant doesn't labor only to eat all it has worked for instantly. This may be trivialized by many, but looking around, you'll notice several...
-
Six prayers for 2026(5)
The wisdom of the ant is that it doesn't just know the seasons of life; it knows what to do in each season. The ant knows the summer season is meant for hard work. The ant isn't confused about what to do; it knows that as long as it's summer, it's time to work hard
-
Six prayers for 2026(4)
The wisdom of the ant is that life is in seasons. As simple as this truth may sound on the surface, this is why the ant is never poor or in lack, yet we, with our sophisticated lives, are always in need. Jesus wept over Jerusalem, but the people failed to recognize their season. Do you know which...
-
Six prayers for 2026 (3)
Regardless of its limitations, the ant shows responsibility. It knows it is responsible for the final outcome of its life and hence responds to life with the ability God has given it. As weak as the ant is, it is never a victim of poverty because of its self-leadership. Nehemiah had no degree or...
-
Six prayers for 2026 (2)
Everyone has a limitation or something that puts them at a disadvantage. The ant isn't the strongest, biggest, or quickest, nor does it have a leader, but none of these have given it enough reason to ever go hungry. Every limitation is a platform for demonstrating God's perfect power in us. With...
-
Six prayers for 2026(1)
Wisdom is gained from taking lessons from all that happens around you. The Psalmist reveals that "Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge". Having an ear to take lessons even from a supposedly insignificant creature like an ant makes you wise.
-
Who has believed our report (4)
Why did God go through all of this? Purely because He loves us. He loved us without any performance from us. God doesn't love us more or less based on our actions, but on Jesus. This makes the gospel a stumbling block to some and an offense to others. He died so He could spend eternity with us!
-
Who has believed our report (3)
Being a christian is not about improving your life or behaviour modification but exchanging it. What's the point of bathing a dead body or dressing it in new clothes? Jesus came to take our place so we could take His. He died so we may live. He was rejected so we could be accepted. Divine Exchange!
-
Who has believed our report (2)
Truly, the good news is good news and even sounds too good to be true, but it's true. The second line of this news is: God came down, not because we asked Him to or even knew it was possible, but simply because He chose to. Many beautiful relationships have died out because no one took the first...
-
Who has believed our report (1)
The Christian message is jaw-dropping and amazing, and it's almost too good to be true. To some, it even sounds blasphemous. The first line of the Good News, which has life and destination-changing implications, is: 'Without controversy, God became a man!' The uncreated Creator made Himself of no...
-
This Manna
This manna! What a reaction to a daily miracle the Israelites enjoyed. Unfortunately, we get familiar with the miracle we prayed for, fasted for, and were anxious for, all because we think there's one thing we lack that will make our lives complete, just like the manna we once did not have. Never...
-
Walking on water (5)
The world is ruled by ideas that people were convinced about: The internet, democracy, education, etc. For us, our victory is based on how much of God's faithfulness we've convinced ourselves about - faith. The same conviction Peter needed to step out of the boat was the same he needed against…
more -
Walking on water (4)
Everything goes wrong when we take our eyes off Jesus. Keeping our eyes fixed on Him is what keeps us walking on water. The strategy is to stay focused on Him, not looking back or getting distracted. And when fear strikes, call on His name.
-
Walking on water (3)
We will never experience the miraculous if we don't step out of the boat. The right time to step out is when Jesus calls us to. Often, natural circumstances won't look favorable. The preacher says, 'He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.' This is why...
-
Walking on water (2)
While everyone else on the boat was screaming and terrified, Peter wanted an encounter. While others have their cameras on 'speed dial' to take a picture of the next famous or successful person they meet, we should seek to engage them and learn from their wisdom. Peter knew that if Jesus could…
more -
Walking on water (1)
When Jesus calls you to step out in faith, it doesn't mean the journey will be storm-free. Yet, many believers are surprised when challenges arise. We often mistakenly assume that God's will equals smooth sailing. Instead, it's about having the assurance of victory over life's storms. Jesus…
more -
Grow (3)
All we know about Jesus from age 12 to 30 is that he was growing. Growth is not optional; you must continually strive to know God better and become a superior version of yourself. Grow in your love for God and people. Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church highlights the importance of seeking a...
