Acts 5:38-39 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.” Before one picks a side... Continue Reading →
MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN
We encounter an improbable situation in the Acts of the Apostles today with detailed description as follows: We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”(Acts 5:23). There is often only one way in, or out of a prison, hence trying... Continue Reading →
WHAT IS MISSING?
J Before reading today's discourse further, remember these words: " I don't know" is not always a valid answer to some questions. In our journey through life, we grow and learn all in the pursuit of mastery. In that process, mistakes are made and opportunities to declare one's ignorance often goes undetected and come at...

“THAT THEY HAD BEEN WITH JESUS”
I read the account of Elijah and the widow earlier today, and the link to today's text was made even clearer - that there are pointers that should cause others to see God at work through an individual.

How random and odd would it have been that a band of Apostles would suddenly arise and say "let's... Continue Reading →
WHAT HAS GOD SAID?
Jesus' words to the disciples today is another interesting one and is beautifully captured in Luke 24:38 "And He said, “Why are you troubled, and why are doubts rising in your hearts? Boiling begins from the base of the pan until it reaches the top, then it may overflow when the heart gets extreme. Doubts... Continue Reading →
TOKENS WEIGHTIER THAN SILVER AND GOLD
Acts 3:6 NKJV Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” This is one of the rather popular passages in scripture which most people have read or heard countless times and for different...

RESERVED FOR STUDENTS
Mary Magdalene on her first encounter with Jesus supposed him to be the gardener. So we realise the direction of her query in " John 20:15b “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” However, after Jesus rightly addressed her by name, in...
