Free Will
Asides dominion, another thing God gave us upon creation is free will. This free will is the freedom to make a choice. From the beginning, God gave mankind the freedom to choose their path. He instructed Adam not to eat of a particular tree but did not force him into obedience. Eventually, we see that…

It is Well
“It is well”. This is a commonly used statement in recent times. Most people say as a way to close a conversation or just a passive way of commenting on a matter. But people with understanding know it is more than this. The statement is a declaration of faith. In today’s blog post, we will…

The Unity of the Church 3
More than ever, we must remind ourselves of the importance of unity among the brethren. Discord creates a breach in –what should have been –the impregnable fortress of the church.

The Unity of the Church 2

Diligence: The Christian View
Success is birthed by intentionality. Likewise greatness. Google’s definition of diligence is careful and persistent work or effort. Diligence takes intentionality. Believers nowadays want the glory without doing the work. In some cases, they believe prayer to be the work. However, my understanding of scripture is that it is the diligent man, not a man…

What To Do While You Wait
One thing I have learned is that the “wait” period is the most challenging period of anyone’s life, no matter how short or long it may be. I have also learned that God causes all things –even those unpleasant and unwanted situations –to work together for the good of those who love Him (Rom. 8:28).…

Understanding Times and Seasons

The Reason For a Believer’s Hope
It is important to first establish what a believer’s hope is. Hope, according to the bible is a confident expectation. It is expecting or anticipating something in confidence and with an assurance that it will happen. This is different from wishful thinking or daydreaming. When you see clouds gather and the sky begins to darken,…

Obedience
Someone defined obedience as hearing God’s word and acting on it. To act on it, you must have heard it. You can only obey an instruction you’re aware of. When we do not study the scriptures and pray to hear God’s voice, we become ignorant of what He wants us to do. It is one…

Peacemakers
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matt. 5:9 ESV). These are the direct words of Jesus during His sermon on the mount. One of the markers that identifies us as children of God, as a people who belong to God, is our desire to make and maintain peace. The…
