In 1 Kings 18:1, God sent Elijah as His representative to meet with Ahab. As Christians, God is daily sending us out as His representatives to the people we come in contact with daily so that we can reconcile them to Christ. How well are we representing Him?

For three years Elijah had been in hiding as instructed by God after he prophesied that there would be no rain. Then one day, God tells him to go back and meet with Ahab, the evil king who by now was searching desperately for Elijah with very evil intentions towards him. But Elijah confidently obeyed God and went to meet with Ahab even in the face of danger. How could Elijah be so bold and fearles...

In 1 kings 17:1-2, God sent Elijah to Ahab to tell him that there would be no rain in the land of Samaria then He told Elijah to go and hide. Now in 1 Kings 18, after 3years of hiding God told Elijah to go back and tell Ahab that it would soon rain. So why did God change his mind? What happened in those three years to make God say that it was time for the rains to fall again in Samaria? Had Ahab a...

One reality that we need to come to terms with is that we must face problems and challenges in life, regardless of our age, gender, religion or where we come from. Some of these challenges can be really painful and can shake our faith. So what should we do when challenges come?

Many Christians have been programmed to think that bad things shouldn’t happen to Christians so when they do, we get confused

At the brook of Cherith, Elijah learnt to trust God for himself as we saw at our devotional yesterday. He learnt to trust God completely as his source. But when the brook dried up, God was indirectly telling Elijah that it was time to move to a new level of trust in his relationship with God. So God directed him to a widow in Zarephath. But what did God want Elijah to learn here?

Sometimes we really can’t understand God! God gave Elijah specific instructions to go and hide by the Cherith brook only for the brook to dry up after a while! A lot of people would have been really confused at that point. Did God really speak to them to go to the brook? If He did then why did He allow the brook to dry up?

‭‭I Kings‬ ‭17:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ ““Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”” There were a million and one places that God could have sent Elijah to, so why send him to Cherith? There were millions of people that God could have used to feed Elij...

‭‭I Kings‬ ‭17:2-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.” Elijah had just pronounced God’s judgment and told Ahab that there would be no rain in the land. So why then did God tell Elijah to go into hiding?

Elijah was one of the most significant and intriguing Prophets in the bible. He was a prophet in Israel during the reign of the very evil king, King Ahab. Join me from today as we learn life lessons from this remarkable man of God.

I’ve heard people ask questions like ‘what is heaven like? Or what would we be doing when we get there? Will we just be floating around doing nothing? Revelations 21 gives us a glimpse of how beautiful heaven will be.

Some people say that once we accept Jesus and believe in him as our Lord and saviour, then we automatically have eternal life and we will go to heaven regardless of how we live our lives after we get saved. But what does the bible say?

2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭EASY‬‬ “Because all of us must go and stand in front of Christ as our judge. He will decide about the things that we have done during our lives here on earth. Whether we have done good things or bad things, we will receive what is right for us.”

1 Chronicles‬ ‭29:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬ says “We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace.”

God loves us to bits but He’s not going to do what we want.

Serving God is a big priority for us as God’s children. But there are times that God doesn’t want us to serve.

Giving to God has been surrounded by all kinds of ideas and opinions but what does the bible say?

Ephesians‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ says “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Are you doing what God planned for you to do with your time?

There are so many things that we spend all our energy pursuing on a daily basis but what should be our greatest pursuit?

What relationships are of the greatest priority to you? If you were to list the five most important relationships in your life in order of importance, what names would make the list and what name would be the number one on that list? What does the bible say about this?

Today everyone wants to be the boss. But what does Jesus teach us about being the boss?

There are a couple of the commandments in the bible out of the Ten Commandments that when you’re reading them, you’re thinking ‘thank God! at least, I know I can never be guilty of breaking this commandment!’. One of such commandments is the 6th commandment, ‘you shall not murder’. This commandment really doesn’t concern most of us because we have never, and we will never ever commit murder, right...

We all have our ‘go-to’ person whenever we are in trouble and we need help. That one person or people that we trust to always have our back and never fail us. But do they have the capacity to always help us?

Many Christians are under the impression that they can choose to love or not to love other people. But I have never seen anywhere in the bible that tells me that loving other people is an option.

It is so easy to be critical and judgmental of other people and It’s so easy for us to see the mistakes and the short comings of others and we are quick to condemn them. But shouldn’t we correct people when they do the wrong things and is it wrong to speak the truth about other people?
