The leading came again to continue the series on Conversations With God. This writing deals with the things that hinder our prayer time with the Father. I’ve identified five key obstacles, but there could be more. They are: Time; Insincerity; Pride, Doctrine and Language. I will address each one […]
“But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42). There’s a story in the Bible about Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42), two sisters who loved the Lord Jesus. Martha was a servant with her love. […]
I started this write up thinking that prayer should be the easiest thing to do, but by the end of it, I decided that there is a need to have ‘Conversations With God Part II’! It is not that prayer is complicated, but because it is about COMMUNICATION, […]
Sounds ridiculous right? But that’s exactly what we say in our hearts when we wrestle with God about preserving ourselves, rather than yielding wholly to Him. We want His wisdom alright, but we don’t want to lose the ‘wisdom’ we already have. Rather than present a blank slate […]
I give you an inch, but you take a mile… I feed your need, but you grumble still! When I think I have you under control, You show you are crafty and untrustworthy. So I must deny you, and hear you not! For you do not suffer my […]
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). This article complements the long article on 1 Corinthians 7, titled ‘A Hard Teaching’. There were some things said that need to […]
Introduction Over the last few weeks, I’ve been meditating on Paul’s teaching and God’s commandments concerning marriage. As one seeking answers, and also seeking to minister to others like myself who have pondered on this great topic, I desired to know God’s will on the matter. Over 40 […]
Lover, you may have me I hold nothing from you, But the portion of my heart Which is the Lord’s – My First Love. And my spirit and soul Which are in His hands. My mind and will are mine To choose to love you everyday To walk […]
I feel like someone in love. You know that feeling when every song you hear reminds you of the one you love, and you swoon because of the feeling in your heart, as each word rings true. Those who are not in love don’t get it. They hear […]
Today, I’d like to celebrate the child within. That’s the inner child that’s in everyone of us. We can truly relate to children, when we are able to tap into our inner child. We can not empathise with something we have no understanding of…and fortunately for us, we […]
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Cor 13:11). There comes a point in every person’s life when they know they have to […]
While on a field trip, following up on a reconciled child for work, I stumbled upon a single copy of this bestseller by Steve Harvey, in a remote town. Having watched the movie, and being more than a little disappointed, I wanted to pass it by. However, realising […]
Below is something I read this morning by Rick Warren, in his daily devotional series. The message is an old lesson, but still a major obstacle for many believers. We may want to relate with the world so that we can understand them and minister to them, but […]
We’ve had repeated arguments About this thing called ‘masturbation’… I’ve presented my thoughts And justified what seems natural, But my spirit is not succumbed. It believes in a higher way. God compels me to rethink each time. He shows me that masturbation Is but a brief pleasure… It […]
If God was a comedian, He would be the last man standing! He has such an amazing sense of humour, which is clearly evident in nature. Sometimes, I can’t help laughing at what the Lord has done, or at myself when I wake up to the realisation that […]
