A great while before dawn
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed (Mark 1: 35). We have a great deal to learn from our Lord Jesus concerning the pattern of His prayer life. His pattern was to rise a while before dawn to…
The deceitfulness of sin
Sin is of the devil, and it is deceitful because it deliberately misleads man from the paths of life. It is the desire of God for us to walk in the path of righteousness (Psalm 23:3) so that we may continually be partakers of His divine nature, which is Life. We must understand the mechanics…
Season’s Greetings

Love: The talent given to every man
“The kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them …” Mathew 25: 14 The parable of the talent, one of the many parables given by our Lord Jesus in the gospel of Mathew 25: 14-30 and Luke 19: 11-27 is…

1Timothy 1: 9: “Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners…” Joseph lived generations before Moses and before the writen commandments were given.

1 Peter 1: 23: “Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God.” The new creation believers are those in Christ who are born again, not of the flesh or by the will of man but by the Spirit of God through faith…
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…
