A REASON FOR ABUNDANCE

DAY 8 Isaiah 60:5 Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. You will very likely be delighted when your barns are full and the riches of nations are... Continue Reading →

PREPARE TO MEET FACES

DAY 7 I am a tenth of the way through my January reading. It is a book recommended by my brother titled "Quiet- the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking". As I read through the pages today, a statement got me doing a bit of thinking: "Prepare a face to meet... Continue Reading →

A BOLD CLAIM

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 →

WHAT DOES GOD WANT FROM YOU?

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 →

THE JESUS FAN CLUB

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 →

RESPECTING RANKS

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 →

WHO ARE YOU?

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 →

BLESSED INDEED

DAY 1 When God first made man, the very first thing scripture mentions is 'And God blessed them...(Gen 1:28)'. 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 →

ROUND UP

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 →
