Lets discuss the Bible

  24:…and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it… 29: “ Come, ” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30: But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “ Lord, save me! ” (Matthew chapter14) The above verses were curled out of the Biblical event of Jesus walking on water, which I believe we should be familiar with. Now, let’s check some points there. Vs 24, the winds arose and the disciples steered against it but no one drowned, Vs 29, peter walked on water but didn’t drown, but in Vs 30, peter began to drown. What went wrong? Vs 30, Peter saw the wind… Many-a-times, we, as children of God face different trials but that really isn’t a problem because while Jesus was here on earth, He promised us that; … In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) ...

In our study of Scripture, have we ever noticed one word that seems paramount in the heart of God, it can be found in verses which reveals unto us God's eternal plan; ".. .to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ." - Eph 1:10 ":until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God..." - Eph. 4:13  Yes…. It’s Unity God doesn't just desire to build a church in the name of a church, but a united church; in fact a gathering of un-united hearts cannot stand. "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecc. 4:12 It is the heart cry of God to the church today that we be united, because without it, there won't be progress. Also checking through scriptures, we see how much God respects the power of unity "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" - Matt. 1...

Ever complained that time is gone, or that you have lost time? And we complain even more because it can’t be called back, as time is something that has been placed above the control of man. But for as many brethren who are in Christ and might have ‘lost time’ at a point or the other, there is some cheering news for you. Here is what the Word of the Lord says; And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.(Joel 2:25) For the man in Christ, he serves a God who is above time, who existed long before time (2 Timothy 1:9, John 8:58), who exists outside time (2 Peter 3:8), in fact, He created time itself (John 1:3). As part of the character of our God is His mercy (Ephesians 2:4), and He’s so willing to make us partakers of His fullness, if only we go to Him in sincere prayers. (Hebrews 4:16, Jeremiah 29:13, Matt. 7:7). So are we willing to go before our ...

Therefore I say unto you, whatsoever you desire, when you pray , believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. (Mark 11:24, emphasis added ) Ever wondered why on many occasions, we don’t experience what the above verse says? It kept me wondering, when we close our eyes in prayer, do we really pray or we just have a call-and-response session with the prayer leader, because many-a-times we are accustomed to the regular response of ‘Amen’ after a statement has been made, but this shouldn’t be.  How then do we differentiate prayer from a mere communication, Praying isn’t merely talking instead it should be a connection of hearts, an alignment of wills between the sender and the receiver, or better put communion . OK, the word communion has a Greek root which is Koinonia , and this can be translated into 7 English words; Presence, fellowship, sharing together, participation with, intimacy, friendship and communion. We see that praying is much more than...

Ever wondered why, at times, you ask for things from God with faith in your heart, and yet it seems like God doesn’t move to answer, or other times when you receive - with great enthusiasm and expectation - God’s promises and they don’t seem forthcoming. It makes you wonder, could the problem be from God? Definitely not! What about you at the receiving end? It seems to you that you have set yourself ready enough to receive God’s blessings… but I say that after believing God’s word in your heart, something else should be done… Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  -  Heb. 11:1 (emphasis added) Now note the word ‘substance’. Yes, we have faith in our heart, but scriptures tell us that the ‘proof of our faith’ should be a substance in our hands. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. - James 2:17 So many Biblical illustrations can explain this. - Jesus Christ, our great example showed this in ...

Good Day Friends trust you are doing good? Was just checking through the list of nominations during an awards ceremony recently, I came across this category that startled me a bit and somewhat made me laugh, ‘Gospel Song of the Year’. This though wasn’t my first time of seeing this, but it rather jumped out of the page this particular time. Then the question popped up in me that what exactly qualifies a song to win this award? Now, the Life of a Christian should be one of worship, and one way through which a man can be led into worship is through songs, it’s a tool given to man by God to serve as a channel leading us into worship and filling the thought of man with that of God. Knowing this, is it now that the recipient of the award is that song that leads men into worship faster or the one that gets us into a deeper realm of worship? I don’t just get it.  "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and ...

Christmas 2015 is here! Glory be to God. One very pronounced mark of Christmas is celebrations! Celebrations!! Celebrations!!! But I would love to say, much more than the celebration, Christmas is about 3 important things. To get these three things, lets look into the Bible. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, emphasis added) Three things were highlighted in the above passage; love, giving, and salvation. These things should be our focus every Christmas. Adding them together, I can form a sentence that defines Christmas;  Christmas is a season of salvation, achieved through giving that is born out of love. Now, we have a word established, the next issue is putting it to practice. Recently, I came across this wonderful quote from Dr. Myles Munroe; “Love is not [just] in giving gifts, but in being a gift” That’s it! That best Christmas gift is Y...
