The futility of justification by the deeds of the law
“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse : for it is written: ” cursed is everyone that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them.” Galatians 3: 10. Why is this, because the scripture says in James 2: 10 :…
The Lord’s Prayer: More than a recital, it is our existential essence – Part 2
“Thy will be done on earth as is heaven.” (Mathew 6: 10). The will of God is the ultimate in heaven and which from the tone of the prayer is not so on earth. To understand God’s ultimate will, we have to see it from heavenly perspective because “as in heaven” is set as the…
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. It talks about fellowship. We that are praying must understand one purpose; that God created us in the beginning in…
Known no more after the flesh
Apostle Paul in his epistle in 2 Corinthians 5 verse 16 declares: “Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more.” This is the set standard of our new life in Christ. Our Lord Jesus, who the disciples…
Lessons of Faith: Beyond a tool for provisions and miracles
Lessons of Faith: Beyond a tool for provisions and miracles There is a lesson of faith for everyone, whether called of God like father Abraham and given the promise, whether anointed with authority and power like our Lord Jesus Christ or whether outside of all these like the Syrophoenician woman, there is a lesson of…
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…
