ON “CONTENTMENT”

ON “CONTENTMENT”

Under challenging times, you need to consider what are your options; what you have; and not what you don’t have! It’s about having peace and joy with what you have; not glorifying in what is not there for you. Yes, “Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.” (Proverbs 17:1). Nothing is appealing about a dry morsel. Yet the blessing of quietness and peace is so great, that it can make a dry fraction seem better than the alternative presented. Peace and…

ON *DELIVERANCE FROM ENEMIES”

ON *DELIVERANCE FROM ENEMIES”

What else do you need? Yes, join in the chorus and sing that you are indeed free! “The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. I call to the Lord, and he saves me from my enemies. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 18: 2-3 GNT).

ON “THE GOINGS”

ON “THE GOINGS”

Anne Lamott once said: “Try walking around with a child who’s going, “Wow, wow! Look at that dirty dog! Look at that burned-down house! Look at that red sky!” And the child points and you look, and you see, and you start going, “Wow! Look at that huge crazy hedge! Look at that teeny little baby! Look at the scary dark cloud!” I think this is how we are supposed to be in the world – present and in awe.”

ON “CONQUERING SELF”

ON “CONQUERING SELF”

Proverbs 16:32 characterises that there is someone better than the mighty! Yes, an individual who can defeat many others on the field of battle. Yes, it is the one who has control over self – self-derived and driven anger; it is one who can when it is wise and necessary, be slow to anger. Frankly, there have been numerous lords who had conquered countries but then were captives to their interests. Alexander, who beat the world, was a slave to intemperate outrage, and in an…

ON “NOT THE LOT THIS TIME”

ON “NOT THE LOT THIS TIME”

 You heard that; “The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the Lord.” (Proverbs 16:33). Relatively, the lot is something like the moving of dice. To project the parcel was to utilise some device of opportunity to settle on a decision. The lot was used to divide the land of Israel among the tribes (Numbers 26:55, Joshua 14:2) and to arrange the workers for the temple (1 Chronicles 24:5). The disciples used lots to fill the vacancy left by…

ON “ADRIFT IN AN ADULT WORLD”

ON “ADRIFT IN AN ADULT WORLD”

Michael Manning said: “Adam’s mental health is poor, his social skills limited, his communication often painfully difficult and monosyllabic. He doesn’t really have friends as much as acquaintances who will tolerate him, people who will come round to his digs, trash the place in a drunken party, and then leave Adam to pick up the pieces. These “friends” are noticeably absent when Adam is on the streets with nowhere to go. In so many ways this young man is still…

ON “PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION”

ON “PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION”

God is against the proud (James 4:6 and 1 Peter 5:5), and the proud individual is a plague to God (Proverbs 16:5). With God so set against the proud, no big surprise that pride goes before destruction. The specific evil of pride is that it restricts the primary guideline of insight (the fear of the Lord) and the two great precepts. A protruding divider is close to ruin. Expanding is a hazardous manifestation in the body; so is pride in the…

ON “YOUR WORTH”

ON “YOUR WORTH”

At the point when you accept that what you do has any effect, you have an alternate inclination about what you do! At the point when you accept your livelihood has worth in God’s eyes, you’re not, at this point powerless against the pundits or ward upon the team promoters. Paul stated, “I consider my life worth nothing to me; my solitary point is to complete the race and complete the errand the Lord Jesus has given me” (Acts 20:24…

ON “A TASK”

ON “A TASK”

Martin Buber said: “To help one another is not considered a task, but the self-evident reality on which companionship is based. To help is not a virtue, but a pulse of existence.… Help, not out of pity – that is, from a sharp, quick pain which one wishes to expel – but out of love, which means to live with others. He who only pities receives from the mere outward manifestation of the sorrow of others a sharp, quick pain,…

ON “THIS BREAKTHROUGH”

ON “THIS BREAKTHROUGH”

Have you heard that your breakthrough is God’s breaking through to you? You shall have it all when you get that revelation. Are you getting it? It’s prophetic for you to have a breakthrough in everything you do. You shall breakthrough – in the revelation that God set up among Himself and us, we can locate another breakthrough in our everyday routine and another element of experiencing, yet we should “tune in.” There are more elevated levels of living which…
