Write Down Your Vision

Habakkuk 2:2 – And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Most businesses today have a mission statement that talks about the purpose of the company. In life, every person should also have their own mission statement. What’s your purpose? […]

Jesus saves the lost

Luke 19:10 – “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Imagine you’re off on a trekking trip with some very close friends. After hours of fun and adventure, you decide it’s time to get back home. But on the way back, someone discovers that the group has missed the […]

What do you hear?

Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬ – “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The blessing of being able to hear is that we hear something or the other all the time. The harsh beeping of the alarm in the morning, the sound of running water, the birds singing, the sound of a busy road, […]

Apart from Him

John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ – “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Can you imagine a life without Jesus? Those of us who know Him and have tasted His love, cannot even think of […]

Created for good work

Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭10 – “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Imagine a potter fashioning a clay vessel on his wheel. Even before he puts the lump of clay on the wheel, he has a basic idea of what the finished product […]

Humble yourself

‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭6-7 – “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” We live in a generation that craves recognition. Whether it is the number of ‘likes’ on a Facebook status update, or words of praise from a boss, […]

The righteous will flourish

Psalm 92:12-14 – “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.” One pattern that seems consistent through much of the Old Testament and the New Testament is that God is on […]

How long will you mourn?

1 Samuel 16:1 – “And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.” Samuel the prophet was […]

God, our shield

Psalm 3:3:  But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. The psalmist acknowledges God as his shield or in other words God is his defence.  God is also his glory as well as the lifter up of his head.  These are the three things that the […]

Planted by the rivers

Psalm 1:3:  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season, his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. A person who loves God and does what He says is favoured by the Lord.  A tree on a river […]
