A daily walk in faith, hope and love
Reference text: Luke 10:13-16 Jesus stands speaking to two cities: Chorazin and Bethsaida comparing them with two others, Tyre and Sidon. He does not hold back in expressing his disappointment because He suggested that the opportunity given to the first two had been underutilized by them. The same opportunity in the hands of two different... Continue Reading →
Luke 10:5 But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ It is interesting that unlike when it was time to celebrate the Passover where Jesus sent his disciples to a specific room in a particular house, today he sends them out and charges them to go into "whatever house'. However, their first... Continue Reading →
Reference text: Nehemiah 2:1-8 Nehemiah 2:4 Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” We witness an interesting dialogue between king Ataxerxes and Nehemiah. Such was the keeness of the king's eye that he could tell something was not right with Nehemiah. Hence his question: “Why do you look sad? If you are... Continue Reading →
Luke 9:51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. It was as though Jesus' inner alarm had heard the final part of the sequence: 'ON YOUR MARKS, SET, GO!' because as we read 'Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem' (Luke 9:51b). To the watching...

John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Like today, as we read about the rich man and Lazarus, right from the onset we are hit with " There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted... Continue Reading →
Luke 9:43-44 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. There are two groups... Continue Reading →
Haggai 2:4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: It is interesting how one word taken as it's... Continue Reading →
Look at the following statement:"Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways" (Haggai 1:5). Other versions render the same words as "Think carefully about what you are doing", and this seems like a fairly reasonable request. However, it takes on a much bigger place of importance when we realise the circumstances within... Continue Reading →
