Scripture Reference: 1 Samuels 8 The will of God for our life is perfect, anything outside of the will of God is an imperfect will. The term permissive will is also sometimes used when God allows something based on our own request. In this blog, we look at a situation of permissive will. Before Israel… Continue reading Submit to the Perfect Will of God For Your Life

Christian Gathering: Not an Arbitrary Thing but of Great Importance
The practice of Christians meeting together may seem arbitrary to some. It is for this reason that individuals sometimes question this exercise, and some believe that it is not necessary. In the last few months, I met an individual who believes that meeting together as Christians are not necessary. At the time of our conversation,… Continue reading Christian Gathering: Not an Arbitrary Thing but of Great Importance
Reciprocate Mercy That Has Been Shown To You

Rejoice for the Lost Soul That Has Been Found
I will be reflecting on the Parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15 vs 11-31). It speaks of a younger son asking his father for his share of the estate. He went off to a distant country and there squandered his wealth. A famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need.… Continue reading Rejoice for the Lost Soul That Has Been Found

Saul was the… Continue reading Eschew Revenge And Let The Lord Fight Your Battle

In the first part of 2 Samuel 12, Nathan confronted David about what he had done. Nathan told him… Continue reading David’s Repentance and Restoration After Being Reprimanded
David’s Transition from Lust to Murder
There is a lot that can be learnt about the life of David. He was called a man after God’s own heart in 1 Samuel 13 vs 14 and in Acts 13:22. By no means was David perfect and he had some not so stellar moments in his lifetime. One of those moment is chronicled… Continue reading David’s Transition from Lust to Murder
There Still Remain a Remnant
Do you ever feel as though you are the only one who is taking a stance for or against something? Chances are you have been in that position before. I have been and have felt a little isolated. Likewise living for Jesus may feel like this sometimes, you may feel out of place, because the… Continue reading There Still Remain a Remnant
God’s Word is not Dead, It’s Alive, Active, Relevant
I came across this statement, ‘The Bible may be old, but it’s not outdated,’ these words resonated with me. The Word of God is alive and active [Hebrews 4 vs 12 (NIV)]. We just need to look around at what is taking place in the world to realize that. The Bible also speaks to our… Continue reading God’s Word is not Dead, It’s Alive, Active, Relevant
