The Adventist Voice

In this episode I asked several questions and among those questions is why God let Satan live after his rebellion. We are suffering because of Satan. So why couldn't God just wipe him out? Why did Jesus have to die for man? And why couldn't God just make another pair of human beings after the first one sinned. Join me in this session as I talk about the significance of the death of Follow me on Sp...

In this episode, I infer lessons from the book of Job. I pick some of the important points from Job's experience to reflect on what kind of attitude we should have when we are faced with trials. Do we blame God when we can't find answers? Why does Satan always get off the hook? We usually do not understand God's ways and how He works and why some of the things that happen to us, happen that way. A...

In this episode, I talk about how God judges the inward intentions of the heart and how He is able to see the most hidden parts of our hearts, way before they are even revealed to us. I draw upon the experiences of David, Joseph, Rehab, Hazael, Daniel, Esau and Jacob. The main text comes from the book of Psalms 139:1 -17, where King David writes of how God looks into the innermost parts of the hea...

In this long episode, I give an expensive context to the history of salvation, why it has to happen and how it happened. Then I introduce Jesus and why His ministry was popular with the everyday people but which vexed the rulers and the Pharisees so much. I then finalize with the story of the disciples why they believed in Jesus at first. I attempt to get into the minds of the disciples and try to...

The bible talks, in several passages about the refiner's fire. At the end of time when we shall be called forth from the grave to receive the rewards that has been kept for us, what shall your reward be? Christ says in the parable of the talents that everyone shall receive the rewards according to the works that they did here on earth. Have you ever wondered whether the works you are doing will go...

This episode is based on Exodus 7-11. God had send Moses and Aaron to the house of Pharaoh to ask him to let the children of Israel go. With His mighty power, God would have easily killed the first borns the first time Pharaoh resisted and saved the Egyptians the agony of the 8 plagues. But this story demonstrates God's patience even with sinners. Pharaoh was given 9 chances to repent but with eac...

In this episode, I go back to the book of 1 Kings 17, to talk about the faith of Elijah. Elijah declared a three year drought in Israel, as a punishment for the blatant idolatry that was practiced by the people. In the final duel between the prophets of Baal and Elijah, God is glorified by fire coming down to burn up the sacrifice that was presented by Elijah. Elijah then prays for rain and rain f...

Have you ever wondered where sin came from? How did it happen that Lucifer started feeling pride, where pride never existed before? How did he come to convince a third of a billion billion angels to follow him in his rebellion. In this episode, we read from the pen of inspiration about the origin of sin in heaven and the judgement of God on Satan and his host. In the next two episodes, we will loo...

I have sometimes struggled to understand how God operates. But is it really possible to fully understand God? No it is not. In Isaiah 55:8-11, He says his ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts higher than our thoughts. We can't understand why God allowed Lucifer to live on. We don't understand why God would let children be killed and not intervene, we don't even understand when God says i...

In this episode, I talk about the Parable of the Sower and what it means in the present context in which we're living. The world is passing away and the corruption is so much. Idolatry is the order of the day and the worship of self, and materials is all around us. Are we safe? Have we separated from the world? Are we unplugged from the world? Welcome to the episode and may you not stop sharing an...

In this episode, I study the story of Nehemiah in the book of Nehemiah 4. Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem with the third wave of returnees, decades after the temple was built. The walls had not been rebuilt, and the gates lay in ruins. God stirred up the heart of Nehemiah to lead the work of rebuilding the walls, and something that had taken years to do, only took 52 days. We need to fortify oursel...

Let's look at Nebuchadnezzar's first dream in more detail. Why was this dream so important to the king that he could not wait for it's interpretation? God wanted to do two things, he wanted to show Nebuchadnezzar who was the true God and true King of the universe, and second, He wanted to pass a message to humanity about the things to come. Follow me as we delve into Daniel Chapter 2 and get to kn...

In this episode, I talk about Dianiel in exile in Babylonia. Daniel showed such steadfastness and faith in God that was unparalleled at the time. He was of noble blood and Judah was taken into captivity because of their iniquity. But Daniel, even in a foreign land, refused to conform. And from his story, we can learn that we also, do not have to conform to the patterns of this world. If you have e...

King Asa started so well. He trusted in the deliverance of God. He pulled down the altars for idol worship. He rallied the people of Judah to trust in the Lord and during his time, Judah enjoyed peace for a period of 35 years. Until materialism got the better of Asa and he shifted his trust to material possessions, earthly kings and physicians. Asa died a man who did not acknowledge God. We who ar...

In this sequel of the first episode, we talk about the dangers of being unequally yoked with unbelievers, from Jehoshaphat the son of Asa. Jehoshaphat almost got killed in a battle he had no business being in, with a friend called Ahab whom he had no business being in alliances with. Had it not been for God, he would have died a shameful death. Similarly, we risk dying spiritually or even physical...

When Balak thr king of the Moabites perceived the threat of the hoarde of the Israelites advancing into the land of Canaan from Egypt, he was shaken and sought the services of Balaam. Balaam was a prophet of God who was given to covetousness and greed and the spirit of God had left him. We have many Balaams today who pretend to be in communion with God and yet who are after worldly gain. Join me i...

The Shakahola Massacre that happened in Kenya has so far claimed over 100 people according to official reports. Unofficial reports say that over 300 people have been exhumed, buried in mass graves. This is nothing new but the frequency of such news is on the rise. Mass shootings, deaths, accidents, gender issues, violence, sexual immorality and idolatry are rife. The world is toteering on the brin...

There is God's mercy demonstrated in a particular episode in the wars between Israel and Philistia. Saul was facing the Philistia in battle, with a demoralized army and mass desertations. Only him and his son Jonathan had swords out of all the army of Israel. Samuel had come to Gibeah and found that Saul had offered an unlawful sacrifice. After pronouncing judgement on Saul, Samuel left, leaving S...

What is enough for you? Are you feeling contented with what you have so far? There's always a thin line between ambition and idolatry. Idolatry is sin, but building wealth for your benefit and the benefit of your friends, those in need and the Kingdom is a blessing and good stewardship. Are you blessed or you are laboring to store wealth which will never help you you? Jesus says that it profits no...

The forces of evil are assembling, and whereas before they were confined to the streets and outside of our walls, today agents of Satan have access to us, to influence and to corrupt us and our families through our phones, radios and televisions. The Devil has too much of our attention and he is using it to push subliminal messages to us about all manner of wickedness. We therefore need to pray li...

David, the Lord's servant in Psalms 11, asked himself, if the foundations be destroyed, what are the righteous to do? When the foundation of marriage, of sex, of parenting, of brotherly love be destroyed, what can you and me do? First, we need to realize that God still sits on the throne and He still monitors the hearts of men. Paul says in the book of Ephesians 5:16, that we should redeem the tim...

Ever heard that God works in mysterious ways? Yes, He does. He says in Isaiah that as high as the heavens are, so are his ways. Look back at your life and count those events which seemed uneventful at the time, but which turned out to be stepping stones for blessings later. Meeting your spouse, meeting strangers who turned into friends or colleagues or business partners, meeting kind strangers who...

In this episode, the first one of season three, I talk about love and what it means to really love one another. The world is yearning for love, and not the kind of love that is sang in music videos. The world is yearning for true love. I hope that the Holy Spirit may bear the fruit of love in you. I wish you love this year. Amen.

Do you have an unshakable faith in God? In the book of Numbers 14: 11-33, the Bible records the story of the children of Israel, refusing to cross into Canaan and the ensuing displeasure of God at their lack of faith. This was the tenth time that they had doubted God and God had had it with this generation. Similarly, in life, God has always got our back in some of the toughest situations, but for...

What race are you running? Are you running towards the cross or away from Christ? Have you ever sat down to reflect your walk with God? Can you look back and trace the graph of your walk with God? How is it? Are you feeling overtaken by the world and the cares of this world, enough to steal away your time with God? You carry the name of God, and that name is powerful. Keep your focus on Christ, de...
