There’s a saying amongst many of my contemporaries: “The hustle is real”. It refers to the general struggle of trying to make a living. Unless you’re born with a proverbial silver-spoon, you’ll eventually have to earn a living to pay for bills, fees, hobbies, holidays, etc. Like me, you’re probably aspiring to a certain quality …
One of the many blessings in my life is having a workstation that looks out onto a field. During the winter months at the beginning of the year, the land was barren. It turned green in the autumn, shortly after the farmer planted wheat. By the middle of the summer, the field was golden. The …
In recent weeks, I have written about the need to candidly assess our walk with God in line with the results we’re experiencing in our Christian experience and, I have also written about the cost of being ignorant of the ways of God. I believe the quality of the results we experience and the level …
Christians were never meant to follow Jesus in their own might. I say this because a Christian’s life is supposed to produce superior results which we can’t attain on our own. Additionally, the results we produce ought to be so spectacular that those who witness them glorify God [Matthew 5:16]. Furthermore, Paul explains that we’re …
As I wrote last week, I have been reflecting about surviving seasons of hardship. As such, I’ve been taking a closer look at the story of the Israelites who experienced hard times after they left Egypt.

Picture the scene: Galilee is buzzing; Jesus had just miraculously fed over 5000 people with five barley loaves and two fish. Unsurprisingly, the next day, many people go looking for Jesus again. Upon finding Him, He points out to the crowd that they are seeking Him because they ate their fill the previous day [John …
Imagine being a crew member on a ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and being told the captain has decided to ignore the satellite navigation system because he or she knows better. You would probably be nervous with good reason because the satellite mapping the course for the ship has a far superior …
The last words in Matthew’s gospel are usually referred to as the Great Commission by Christians. At the end of His earthly ministry before His Ascension, Jesus passed the baton to His disciples, commanding them: “…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, …
I rarely write about healing. It’s probably because I have a logical mind and I gravitate to logically consistent things. Miracles, especially physical healings, aren’t logically consistent. There is no formula because miracles belong firmly in God’s domain, not ours, He decides when, who, where and how. I am aware of the promises in the …
You have probably heard the expression: “it’s the hope that kills you”. It’s often used when a situation is so desperate and the outcome seems irredeemably certain. However, there is something about the human spirit that clings to hope. Interestingly, this narrative is repeatedly portrayed in many of the movies we watch. How often do …
