A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 6 1John 5:5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. Some claims are bold, even bordering on preposterous. We encounter one of such today in the Epistle of John 'belief in Jesus, the son of God is a necessary requirement to overcome... Continue Reading →
DAY 5 Yesterday, the question Jesus asked the disciples was one we were meant to give careful consideration to: 'what do you want?' And for emphasis, the object of this question was God himself so the question equated to 'what do you want from God'. Today, a follow up question came to mind that I... Continue Reading →
DAY 4 John 1:38 When Jesus turned and saw them, he asked, “What do you want? ”They answered, “Rabbi, where do you live?” The Hebrew word “Rabbi” means “Teacher.” Jesus is rather blunt when he encounters the disciples in today's Gospel for the first time. In no two ways, He asks them 'what do you... Continue Reading →
DAY 3 In certain spheres of life, rank is a big deal. The military is the clearest example of such a field of endeavour where insubordination is frowned upon such that often, even regardless of the circumstances, you are to obey the ranks. John's description of Jesus in today's Gospel is rather telling: This is... Continue Reading →
DAY 2 John 1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? It is interesting that when John the Baptist was asked 'if He was the Christ or Elijah, he responded 'I am not'. That answer for some may have been... Continue Reading →

Through time, while God remains the administrator of every blessing contained within the boundaries of His Word, He honours the declarations of men who are relay channels of those blessings. Thus, when Isaac spoke to Esau... Continue Reading →
365/365 According to the calendar days, today marks the end of the year in the part of the world I find myself. Others have already transitioned so as we countdown the hours for the year to turn the corner, it's time to do a bit of rounding up. This means some questions will have to... Continue Reading →
364/365 Matthew 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Every warning that was issued to Joseph concerning Jesus came in a dream, every single time. On 4 different occasions: from the advise to stay with Mary, flee with her and the infant... Continue Reading →
363/365 Luke 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. It is interesting to know that Mary and Joseph, who had received specific details about who Jesus would be from an angelic source, were oblivious of the revelation Simeon brought. They were quite surprised. There are somethings about... Continue Reading →
