Forgive n Love...

The good Lord was clear in charging us with His teachings when He said: > Love those who hate you (Mt 5:44) > Bless those who harm you (Mt 5:44) > If somebody strikes you on one cheek, show him the other (Mt 5: 39, 40) > If you have something against a brother, leave your gift at the altar; set things right with him and then come back to pray (Mt 5: 23, 24) Lovely preachy material......

A Type Of...

What makes the Word of God so alive and applicable to our lives even today… I mean most of what was written is over 2000 yrs old and was intended as a promise God had made to those people at that time; but the key factor is that it was NEVER INTENDED FOR THOSE PEOPLE, FOR THAT TIME only. The word of God is everlasting and unchanging (Isa 40: 8; 1Pet 1:23; Mt 5: 18; Lk 16:17). And His promises to...

When things don't work out...

Its extremely frustrating when things dont work out in a way you had planned for them to. You start to question your own abilities and wonder whether there was anything else that you could have done... But then thinking about it from another perspective, it becomes abundantly clear that we have no charge over the way anything goes, let alone what happens in our own lives. We're frail and human......

Why He can say I AM???

Every once in a while its strange how we gain a sudden realization our tinyness and His awesomeness; especially when faced with the death of a loved one. We had a similar experience when a friend of ours went to be with the Lord 2 days ago (diagnosed with Leukemia in the final stage) - Haeirisim Nemwe,...

The Character of a Happy Life

by Sir Henry Wotton How happy is he born or taught That serveth not another's will, Whose armour is his honest thought, And simple truth his highest skill; Whose passions not his masters are; Whose soul is still prepared for death, Untied unto the world with care Of princes' grace or vulgar breath; Who...

Missing - My Energy (Mk 9:33 - 41)

Ever wondered where all that energy you had as a child and a young person vanished? Is it just the effect of our body aging or is it our mind that is aging must faster? Or is it the cares of this world and the running behind things unnecessary that makes us lose our energy so fast?These were the questions running through my mind even as i spent the weekend suffering from my usual breathlessness and...

Are you working in a ministry or is your work your ministry?

Working in a ministry place is almost always frustrating because our expectations are hardly ever met. Rather it almost seems like people around us are only trying to make life difficult. And rightly so i should say...Are you rolling your eyes right now? Well, but that is the truth! The good Lord never promised us an easy life. Instead, he did warn us that we would be ridiculed, mocked and persecuted...

The Invisible Presence (Exo 33:12-23)

I have constantly asked myself the question - what made Moses so special to God? And here lies the answer... "Now therefore, i pray thee, if i have found grace in Thy sight, show me now Thy way, that i may know Thee, that i may find grace in Thy sight: and consider that this nation is Thy people" (Exo 33:13).There stood Moses in the gap between God's anger and God's people; further angry himself about...

Magnum Opus (so far...)

What can the Lord do when you release yourself to Him completely, even helplessly??? He uses every gift He has placed in you to produce a work; the result of which you look at and know it wasn't you. Such is the story of my thesis - recovering from heart surgery without much help around, and writing my thesis within a week's time to meet the submission deadline. The result - i can only look at and...

The Two Mountains (Heb 12: 18 - 28)

Imagine you were in front of the mount Sinai today - the mountain is ablaze with fire even as God's wrath is waiting to consume all of the israelites. Everybody is trembling and shaking and nobody has the courage to as much as touch the mountain's foot even as a tempest is at bay. So terrible is the site that even Moses said "i exceedingly fear and quake" (Heb 12: 19). Could you and i stand amidst...

Here goes...
