Recipes for Revival: Desperation

Throughout human history, God has beckoned mankind to turn away from sin and to return to God’s plan in repentance. The Creator of Heaven and Earth has enough foresight to tell that our deviation from His will result in death (Romans 6:23). God’s extraction plan is Christ Jesus. God himself has taken the form of a man and has absorbed the wages due to us- death. He has then freely given us an eternal life that we do not deserve. But we often get too familiar with that message and lose track and ...

Recipes for revival: self-awareness of sin

As I have observed the Covid-19 pandemic, I cannot help but see that this is a storm that has come to test the foundations of our spiritual practices in the Body of Christ. I get the feeling that God is not just speaking in this pandemic but also through it. There is a call to revival. It is a call to return to spiritual fervency as we look forward to the return of Christ. Revival is a reset button. When we deviate from the origin, purpose and destiny of the church we are always in need of reviv...

Salt and Light: The Effectiveness of Believers

How effective are you as a believer? The moment you come to Christ, you become a vessel for His use. You enrol into His service. When I intend to do a house chore, I desire that the tool I use for the task works well. It is frustrating to work with a frayed broom. It is highly inconveniencing to work with a leaking jug. Or a broken mop. When typing on a keyboard, a single key that isn’t functioning well can ruin the entire typing experience. Jesus speaks of the believer’s effective use as a vess...

Honour your parents

Hello, Ernest. I am a believer and I have a question. We are taught to honour our parents. But what if one’s parents are not worthy of honour? What is the point of the fifth commandment?

The fifth commandment in the decalogue (Exodus 20:12) states “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (NLT)

The command to give honour to your parents is not contingent on the honourable nature of your parents. It stands as God’s com...

Overcome sin this year

If there is a perpetual resolution every born-again believer ought to have every year, it is the mortification of sin. Spiritual self-development ought to be at the forefront of all our earthly plans. But you have a real enemy who is bent on ensuring you remain in the mire of sin.  We are told in James 4:7 that when we submit to God and resist the devil, he will flee from us. Satan flees from a believer who opposes him. But the prerequisite to effective opposition of Satan, according to James 4...

8 things I wish I knew when I was addicted to porn and masturbation

This is to encourage any believer who is currently stuck in any sexual addiction. I’m borrowing these lessons from my own personal struggle and with pornography and masturbation and the victory I experienced afterwards. These are things I wish I knew then, based on the reality I was facing.

1. SHIFT YOUR THINKING

You want desperately to be free but you don’t think it will happen because you have been a slave at it for so long. Be encouraged that the desire to be free is proof of God’s san...

God locates our hearts with questions

Hello Ernest, I have a question. When you look at the scriptures, you often find a few instances where God asks people questions. Why does the Ancient of Days ask a question to a lesser being? Isn’t He all-knowing?

Thank you for writing, Beloved. This is a good question
