DAY 339 Luke 10:22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” We read about the 'son' today, and those to whom... Continue Reading →
HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST?
DAY 312 Proverbs 24:10 introduces a very interesting preamble to our discourse today. It reads 'If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.' The real question to ponder on therefore from today's text is the question Jesus asks 'have you counted the cost?' In Jesus' discourse today, He uses the building... Continue Reading →
HEAVEN’S SEAL OF APPROVAL
DAY 280 Luke 10:17,20 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” The things that we rejoice about and celebrate, may not be those we ought to...

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH MORE?
DAY 127 Acts 6:1 But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.
