PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY

DAY 138 Reference text : Act 18:1-3 One thing we often forget is that even though the Christian operates by different principles, laws and precepts that are not earth-borne, living in any territory makes the laws of the land binding in our lives. As long as we are domicile in any place therefore, we have... Continue Reading →

WHEN GOD CLOSES DOORS

DAY 132 Acts 16:6-7 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. Many of us know that when God... Continue Reading →

MORE POWER THAN YOU THINK

DAY 129 There are many things in life over which we have little or no control - the way other people choose to behave, natural laws or disasters among others.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH MORE?

DAY 127 Acts 6:1 But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent.

We read a very interesting piece of text today. If nothing, the title 'Lord of the harvest' should be... Continue Reading →

A REASON FOR HIS NAME

351/365 When one has to recruit for a position, after obtaining a clear job description, the remainder is to find a candidate with the credentials to fit the role. A review of the skill set is the first layer, even better if they possess a proven and verifiable track record if achievement. A cherry on... Continue Reading →

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.

Thus, clarity in their distinction is helpful to our Christian... Continue Reading →
