https://odb.org/MY/2021/12/02/celebrating-diversity It is ironical that as stated in the story on the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 that God scattered humans and confounded their language, that we are now trying to unite peoples of diverse creed, colour and language in the church as well as out of the church. The church itself has aContinue reading “Unity in Diversity”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/12/01/someone-may-need-you Before the lockdowns and partial lockdowns imposed due to the pandemic, there were some who professed the faith and yet refused to attend church. There could be a variety of reasons including golf or cycling on a Sunday morning or just wanting to chill during the weekend after a long work week etc. TheContinue reading “Going To Church”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/30/for-others-sake I can’t imagine how it is like to be deep in a cave in near and complete darkness with rising waters and not knowing whether anyone will actually come and rescue us. Darkness is disorientating and although our eyes can adjust to darkness, it is impossible to see anything in complete darkness. This isContinue reading “Darkness and Light”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/29/even-if-3 The story Sadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel 3 is the famous story of how God protected the 3 children of Israel who refused to bow down and worship the golden image made by King Nebuchadnezzar while the Israelites were in exile in Babylon. As a result they were thrown into a burning furnace.Continue reading “The Great Tribulation”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/27/bold-faith I often wondered how and why some people have so much boldness to preach the Gospel? Why were they able to share their faith so boldly putting themselves in harm, even going through pain and suffering, torture and imprisonment to proclaim Jesus? Or in the case of Prem Padhan who was wounded during theContinue reading “Bold Faith”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/26/mighty-warrior It is a recurring pattern in the Old Testament of Israel’s disobedience and evil resulting in oppression and subsequently the Israelites calling out to God and God then delivers them. Egypt was not like that, but the Assyrians and Babylonians were and in those instances they were exiled in a foreign land. But inContinue reading “Mighty Warrior”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/25/a-thankful-heart As I have shared before, one of the blessings we receive by having God in our lives, is an uplift of our economic status over generations. This could be indirectly a result of us being a better person and thus avoiding vices like gambling, drinking, drugs and womanising. It could also be due toContinue reading “Thankfulness to God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/24/hey-soul Jesus taught us to pray to our Heavenly Father that Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. We pray for the sovereign will of God be done and yet we know that it will be done regardless of what man does like the coming of Jesus through the lineContinue reading “God’s Will For Us”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/23/walking-bibles In my sermon last Sunday that I shared in my local church, I structured my message by starting with the narrative on Lazarus in John 11 and from that last miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead after 4 days, I expounded on the two points that God put in my heart toContinue reading “The Word”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/22/true-worshipers We know now what Jesus meant in John 4:23 that a time will come when true worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. The place of worship matters less than the spirit that has been renewed and born again, we worship from deep within us and empowered and prompted by theContinue reading “Worship”
