God is expecting something from you and I. A parasitic relationship is when one side is always taking and taking, but a symbiotic relationship has both parties benefitting. You and I are connected to the vine (Jesus), He feeds us with His Word and God is the Gardener who prunes us; with the aim that... Continue Reading →

But I know you will be blessed greatly by this. Thank you for celebrating with me and all... Continue Reading →

Today we want to share five (5) scenes about perhaps one of the well-known parables of Jesus: the prodigal son. In this parable, there is a rich father who has two sons (the brothers). Let's dig in:... Continue Reading →
Did you know Jesus was a regular invited guest at dinners and parties? (Matt 9:10-12; Luke 7:34) Anyway, Jesus had earlier been invited to a Pharisee’s home for dinner (this was when the woman with the alabaster box honoured Him - Luke 7). This time, a prominent Pharisee invited Jesus to his home specifically to... Continue Reading →

Losses and tragedies have a way of putting everything into perspective. They clarify our values... They help us figure out some priorities. You realize, more than you ever did before, what matters most. People and culture want us to think that it’s what we have that determines who we are and what really matters in... Continue Reading →
The disciples of Jesus watched Him closely and came to the conclusion that His prayers were a major part of His life and His prayers were always heard. I believe they could tell that the source of His power and ministry came from His secret prayer life. This created a hunger in them to know... Continue Reading →

Imagine taking 5,000 people to KFC and feeding them with no sweat (that's a huge financial miracle); but what would you do after? Probably post on social media about your financial might, humanitarian feat or miracle power? Well, after feeding 5,000+ people with the KFC of their day, Jesus withdrew to be alone with God...

In Luke 5 we saw how the anointed Jesus at a point in His ministry was under great pressure from the crowds, and He realized that He needed help. So He identified a resource (boat) that could help Him and a skilled expert (fisherman Peter) to help in the ministry, and it was a great... Continue Reading →

One of the greatest tests of our character is how we treat people. Especially people of a lower economic or societal status and people who are trying to serve us. Whether it’s a waiter/waitress, a security guard, a servant/maid, an employee, a secretary, siblings, children, or a spouse, etc. “Do to others as you would... Continue Reading →
