A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 55 The questions of life are often answered in layers. The word which opens the question determines the nature of the response one receives. The question word used in today's text is 'why' hence the question posed to Jesus: 'why do the Pharisees fast but your disciples do not? (Matthew 9:14) It is very... Continue Reading →
DAY 47 We always seem to want more from everything: more from life, more from others, and more from God. More strength, more grace, more favour, more anointing and more love. More appears to be better than what we already have isn't it? Yet, it is fascinating that while God delivers to Noah the same... Continue Reading →
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 →
343/365 I had some learning from an event this morning, and share those three lessons: Don't become too confident with what you have and what you know that you stop learning and growing.

In context, the word translated 'strive' literally means 'to struggle' while that for 'seek' means 'to desire or require'. So those who succeed in entering the narrow door, will be those...

297/365 Things don't just grow and people don't just manifest out of no where! Jesus was drawing comparisons today and makes one that was rather eye catching: What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his... Continue Reading →
294/365 It becomes apparent with the use of 'leave it this year also (Luke 13:8) ' that the vine dresser for 3 consecutive years, had been having the same conversation with the owner of the vineyard year after year. He just about succeeded in negotiating an extension for a fourth year in a row. Nonetheless,... Continue Reading →
291/365 There are many occasions when it feels like 'I didn't know' should be a perfectly reasonable 'get-out-of-jail- free' card.
