327/365 Reference: Luke 21:21-28 In the absence of light, one factor of it being knowledge and its application in wisdom, the fruits one is likely to bear are fear, hopelessness and chaos. Picture this example: when a novice is given controls in the cockpit of an airplane, the best you might get out of them... Continue Reading →
AN OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS
326/365 Luke 21:13 This will be a time and an opportunity for you to testify [about Me]. When someone lays their hands on you, it means you have fallen under the umbrella of their influence, often in a negative light. To the primitive brain, that is the time to begin to negotiate one's survival. Thus,... Continue Reading →
YOUR PART TO PLAY
324/365 Luke 21:8 And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them.

ENGAGING DIMENSIONS IN GOD
324/365 The many names of God encapsulate many of the dimensions He has revealed in His dealings with men. Thus, many know God in his name Jireh, the God who provides or as Rapha, the God who heals.

PICK THE SIGNAL
322/365 We read again about the story of the seven brothers and the woman who was married to each one of them. While it isn't impossible that the Sadducees cooked up this story to trap Jesus, its content does call for action. Our spotlight today falls on the 'wife' because mind you 'all seven brothers...

WHAT MAKES FOR PEACE
320/365 Luke 19:42 saying, “If [only] you had known on this day [of salvation], even you, the things which make for peace [and on which peace depends]! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

ARE YOU HIGH ENOUGH?
319/365 I came across a quote for the first time today and it was very intriguing "For an apple you can’t reach up and pick, you have to climb that tree; the tree won’t bend down for you!” When John heard the voice which sounded like a trumpet, this was the instruction: "Come up here!...
