DANIEL CHAPTER 5

A number of questions came to mind as I read this chapter in the book of Daniel, and I invite you to ponder on those same questions: 1. Are there systems in place to accomodate the gaps in your knowledge? Regarding those things you don't know, are there men around you who do, or systems... Continue Reading →

SEEKING OUT PURPOSE.

Among many other things, abuse and misuse are the product of the absence of understanding, especially of the true purpose of anything. Jesus asked a couple of questions in the text we read today from Mark 4:21 ' Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to... Continue Reading →

RESULTS ARE LOUD

If there is one thing that characterised  the ministry of Jesus, it was results. There was something to show for every step, every action, every prayer, and even moments of rest. Miracles, healings and many things served as appropriate evidences that He had passed by. Tales littered his path. Hence, we are really not surprised... Continue Reading →

Today, the prophet Isaiah speaks in a like manner and what follows were a range of attributes of... Continue Reading →

ENGAGE YOUR CURIOSITY

Reference text: Luke 1:26-39 In today's Gospel, we see Mary in three phases:1. A troubled Mary (vs 29)2. A questioning/curious Mary (vs 34)3. An accepting Mary (vs 38) The first version of Mary had just encountered a strange salutation from the angel Gabriel. Words so heavy that they are enough to cause anyone to take...

PATTERNS PREDICT OUTCOMES

Reference text: Luke 20:27-40 Even as you read this text, do you notice the patterns on your phone? The location of the clock and battery percentage or the  colours on the app you currently using? Life consists of patterns- night then day, that is one pattern; winter-spring-summer-autumn that is another. There are many others like... Continue Reading →
