The Lord’s Prayer: More than a recital, it is our existential essence – Part 1
Have we ever wondered why in the gospel of Luke chapter 11, one of the disciples asked the Lord, “teach us how to pray?” Was it meant to be for them a prayer that they could recite, or that they saw an existential necessity for this request?. It was not far-fetched that the Apostles gave…
Glory: Our awaited hope
Romans 8: 18: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” The glory that shall be revealed in us is the earnest expectation of the believers, with the manifestation of the sons of God. This is the Spirit…
The Just shall live by Faith
Scriptures in Habakkuk 2: 4; Romans 1: 17; Galatians 3: 11 and Hebrews 10: 38 lay out the centrality of this verse, “the Just shall live by faith.” It is pertinent for us to ask who is the Just and how are the Just to live by faith?. Seeing that this scriptural verse is the…
Thoughts on Prayer
Prayer has to be intentional, and its purpose well understood. Prayer is a call of the deep to the deep. As the bible says in Psalm 42:7, “deep calls to deep.” This speaks about oneness.

Why is there so much evil in the world and are believers meant to be victims
Many have wondered why there is so much evil in the world. Many have even asked where the Sovereign LORD is in all these and why He has allowed so much evil in the world. Psalm 115 verse 16 declares: “The heavens are the LORD’s but the earth he has given to the children of…
Intercession: Where Mercy and Truth are met together
God loves intercession as He loves true worship. In both instances, God seeks those who will stand in the gap and those who will worship in spirit and in true. In Ezekiel 22: 30, we hear God say: “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in…
Tithes and Prosperity: Biblical Perspective
So much has been said on tithe, and it has erroneously being linked as a gateway to prosperity. We must endeavour to understand God’s purpose for tithe and God’s provision for prosperity and our responsibility to those who minister spiritual things to us. Our first encounter with tithe was in Genesis, when father Abraham was…

Bearing precious seed in times of trial of our faith
While it is expected that the just shall live their faith, the trial of their faith is a sure thing that will come to every believer. As it is required of every steward to be faithful (1 Corinthians 4: 2), bearing precious seed in the time of trial of our faith is proof of our…
