Based on Habakkuk 3:17-19 ‘Rejoice in the Lord Unconditionally’ is a call for believers in Jesus Christ to rejoice in the God of their salvation unreservedly.

Based on Habakkuk 2:1-4 “ The Allocated Time frame” is a reflection on the importance of the time frame God allocated to us all and how we must acknowledge it as it supersedes the manmade time.

Based on Matthew 28:16-20 ‘The Paradox of the Great Omission’ calls for an examination of what has come to be known as the ‘great commission’ which is in my view the very reason why Jesus Christ came to earth to die for the sins of mankind but it seem that by all indications the church has drifted afar from the great commission by omitting the critical attributes of the commission.
