“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” […]

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast” (Eph. 2:8,9). We are in a season of holidays when children and adults alike are looking with hope for some gifts that will make their holidays merry. […]

Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint (Pro. 23:4). Verses like this in the Bible are counterintuitive. Every human being exerts some effort to be rich or wealthy. Such wealth is held in liquid form, stocks/bonds, or other assets. Thankfully, the verse did not say that we should not exert any effort at […]

“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Gal. 6:14). In his novel, “Things Fall Apart,” Chinua Achebe quotes a statement made by the agama lizard that jumped from a high iroko tree (Milicia excelsa). The lizard said: “if no one […]

“He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor” (Pro. 21:21). “Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life” (Pro. 22:4).

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God gave the increase. 1Cor. 3:6 People love to take credit for things they accomplish even though it is common knowledge that no one can accomplish anything alone. Only God can do that but even with God He prefers teamwork and that is the pattern He has left for His creation. God […]

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Ps. 23:1 Although many can verbally interpret what this verse is saying correctly, but the way we live it out gives a different interpretation. We live out this verse daily as if we employed or hired God to watch over us and ensure that we are protected and well cared for. […]

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Psalm 19:14 To feel the weight of David’s plea in this single verse, one must review Psalm 19 altogether. It began with a focus on the glory of God which everything created in heaven and earth […]
