POWER VERSUS AUTHORITY

345/365 There are two words we come across in scripture a fair bit, particularly in the New Testament- Power and Authority. In many instances, they may appear interchangeable in their use but in context, they are linked concepts that portray specific dimensions when in execution. Thus, clarity in their distinction is helpful to our Christian... Continue Reading →

IT’S MORE THAN AN INVITATION

331/365 In the realm of man, language is not universal because in even the most similar of languages, what means something positive in one, might stand for something rather uncomfortable in the other. Language is therefore best interpreted in context. The centurion we encounter today mentioned that He had authority and this he expressed thus:... Continue Reading →

AN ENCOUNTER WITH GATEKEEPERS

315/365 Luke 18:2 He said, In a certain city there was a judge who neither reverenced and feared God nor respected or considered man.

THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

287/365 I am going to throw a straight punch to the gut- many of the songs we sing, are sung absent mindedly and unconsciously.

COMMAND YOUR MORNING

272/365 Job 38:12 “Since your days began, have you ever commanded the morning, And caused the dawn to know its place? God was having a real go at Job for talking about things he had no idea about.

ALL AUTHORITY

DAY 150 OF 365 IN 2021 Matthew 28:18, 19 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

A LOST ADVANTAGE

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [a]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Having and 'using what one...
