In Mat 5:14-16, Christ talks about a city on a hill, whose light can be seen by everyone. He also likens us to a lamp that is put on a lampstand to light the whole room instead of being hidden under the bed. He says nobody lights a lamp to place it under the bed. Where is your lamp? Is your lamp hidden under the bed where it cannot shade light to a room full of unbelievers who are in dire need of...

Have you ever thought about why Israel did not manage to continuously obey the Lord and walk in His ways, even though God did everything He could including manifesting His power in miracles that have never been seen before? In Psalms 78, David recounts the failure of his ancestors and how they kept rebelling against God even when He showed the care every other time. And here is a lesson to us: God...

In Joshua 24:14-15, the servant of the Lord is giving his final instructions to the children of Israel and he charges them with the choice to either serve other gods which they served beyond the Jordan, or to serve the true God. You and I needs to make a decision this year to serve the Lord in spirit and truth. Whatever prevented you from serving God faithfully last year, put it aside this year an...

In the book of 1 Samuel 13, the Bible teches us patience and waiting on God's word even when everything around is failing. Samuel tells the story of when Saul is faced with a decisive battle against a Philistine army that is described as, "numerous as sand on the seashore." Meanwhile Saul had selected for himself 3000 men, and by the time he is ready to battle, only 600 we're left with him. The Bi...

In Psalms 9:1-4, David is telling us to praise the Lord and tell of His wonderful works. I want to add that you and I need to form the habit of always telling the wonderful works that God has wrought to us. There's no powerful sermon like a testimony. God is doing wonderful things for His people daily, but the negative works of Satan and his hosts crowds out the good things happening around us to...

In this episode I talk about the peril of self-sufficiency. In the book of Deuteronomy 8:11-14, Moses warns the Israelites about forgetting the Lord by not keeping His commandments once they attained wealth and prosperity. The books of Chronicles and Kings also record about the King Uzziah who started so well with God, but once he became prosperous and his kingdom was firmly established, forgot th...

In this episode, I talk about witnessing Christ to friends and family. Are you going to heaven alone or is the love for your friends and family strong enough to have you preaching to them? In the book of 1 Peter 2:11, Peter tells the believers to have their conduct honorable among the Gentiles/ unbelievers. Paul also speaks to Timothy about the importance of being an example to believers through h...

The world is obsessed with finding the secret of longevity everywhere else except in God. Since in the wisdom of God, the world in it's own wisdom did not know God, it has pleased God through the foolishness of what is being preached, to save those who believe. Long life will not be found in finding the cure for cancers, HIV/Aids or chronic diseases. It is not found in modern vaccines or accident...

In this episode I talk about God's judgement and mercy as illustrated in the book of Hosea, especially chapter 11. Despite the judgement that God pronounced over the house of Israel, He still speaks hope and restoration over the house of Israel. The theme of juxtaposition of mercy and judgement is repeated in several books of the Bible including Jeremiah and Ezekiel. This points us to the cross. S...

In this episode, I talk about the story of Mary Magdalene in the book of Luke 6:36-44. Jesus was invited to a Pharisee's house, where Mary came and showed care and reverence for Christ, anointing his feet with a jar of alabaster oil and wiping his feet with her hair and tears in repentance. Luke describes her as "the sinful" woman. Mary henceforth became one of the most loyal followers of Jesus, t...

Bethel means God's house. It is the spot in which Jacob saw the vision of the ladder from heaven. This episode talks about the return of Jacob to Bethel where he has first met God and where he had made a vow to Him. This story is found in Genesis 35. Jacob then instructs his family to put away foreign gods, meaning idols whom they had in their tents, to clense themselves to be ready to worship the...

I lost a friend who was laid to rest 12th June. His death came as a shock to many because here was a healthy man, full of promise with a young family suddenly collapsing and dying. As usual, death is a moment for deep reflection, about the meaning of life, the purpose of life and our task here on earth. One of the most important questions to ask is what are you or me taking to the grave? What will...

in this episode, I share from the book of Revelation 3:14-21, where Christ talks to the Laodicean church. He rebukes them for being lukewarm in warm, not hot nor cold for Christ. Is your walk with Christ lukewarm? Are you hot or cold for God? What does it even mean to be hot or cold for God? Christ says that whoever does not sow with Him scatters abroad. It is something that disturbs me so much, t...

In this episode, I reflect on the story of Jeroboam, the fourth King of Israel. Jeroboam was a product of grace, very much like a lot of us. The kingdom was torn away from the hands of David's house and given to him, a mere servant but what he did with it was less than admirable. Thisa story is found in 1 Kings 11, 12, 14. God desires only one thing from us: obedience. And it does not come with no...

This episode comes from the books of Gen 27:1-6, Jeremiah 42: 1-22, and Jeremiah 17:5-9. Sometimes when we're experiencing difficulties and trials as believers, we desire to go back into the world where there seems to be ease. We desire to live as the world lives andtoc conform with our former lusts to gain the things of the world. The message today encourages us to remain in God and trust in Him...

We look at the book of Luke 12:35-48. Christ tells of the parable of servants who have been left to take care of a household in the absence of their master. Christ contrasts faithful servants who keep watch, waiting for their master to return, whatever hour it is, and a reckless Steward who upon seeing that their master has delayed coming, starts to treat male and female servants with contempt. Je...

This episode is derived from the book of Matthew 26:70-72. After Jesus is arrested in the garden of Gethsemani, and taken before the Sanhedrin, all his disciples fled for their lives and scattered. Except Peter, who followed him at a distance. Peter, who had been one of the strongest disciples folded and denied Christ thrice. This story packs a valuable lesson for us who are Christ's followers.h H...

In this episode, we turn to the prayer of Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18:2-3. Hezekiah became sick and prophet Isaiah was sent to him to let him know that he would not recover from his illness. In his prayer, he asks God to remember how he has walked before Him and how he has served Him. Hezekiah had a recordofg works. James 2:17 says that faith without works is lifeless and has no purpose. Our faith goes...

In this episode, we read about the story of the three Hebrew boys, Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego and how they defied the orders of King Nebuchadnezzar. The highlight of the moment is when King Nebuchadnezzar jumps in astonishment at seeing a fourth man in the furnace. Thank youfort joining me this new year to study the Bible once again for 54 weeks.

In this series, we are going to study the book of Daniel and get to put it into context. We'll uncover the visions of Daniel 7 and 8, Nebuchadnezzar's dreams and even the prophecy of Daniel 9. In this first episode, we uncover the secret of the power that carried Daniel through four kings and up to the end of captivity. It was his fear for God and his decision to stand for Jesus in chapter 1. Don'...

In this mini episode, I reflect on the power of God to save through His own strength and power and not through human effort. The story comes from 2 Kings 6: 24-33 & 2 Kings 7:1-20. I also recount the plight of the Israelites on the banks of the red sea and God's mighty hands to save. Your situation might seem so dire, but God never fails. And I pray that He may see you through any tough situation...

In this episode, I talk about the responsibility of teaching our children and the generation after us, the fear of God. The main text comes from the book of Psalms 71: 2-4 supported by Deuteronomy 6:1-9. I also reflect on the stories of Samuel, David and Eli to illustrate how important it is not to neglect the duty of raising Godly children for God. Don't forget to follow me on Spotify and to rate...

This episode is based on Ezekiel 33. In this episode, God is telling Ezekiel, that as a watchman, his main job is to preach the truth so that sinners can turn back from wickedness. There is only one Gospel and that is the Great Commission in Matthew 28. I wish you a blessed week and don't forget to stand up for Christ. Live the Gospel every day and may God keep you. Don't forget to share this epis...

In this episode, we draw from the life of King David. We start from the time he was anointed to be king in place of King Saul, to when he ascended to the throne. King David typifies the life of every Christian, in that he ad episodes of ups and downs. Actually, what most people associate with King David is his great sin with Bathsheba. However, King David picked himself up from this event and repe...
