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”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/21/labrador-angel For those of us who have pets, particularly dogs and to a certain extent cats, we will most likely experience the unfailing love of our pets. They are faithful and will love us fully. Of course we need to feed them and shower them but there is something about a pet’s love that isContinue reading “Unfailing Love”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/19/when-you-cant-go-on If a situation arises when it looked like it is impossible to go on, know that as we seek out the Lord, He will help us through that seemingly impossible to go on situation. Perhaps God allowed that situation for a reason, perhaps to strengthen our faith or the faith of the people aroundContinue reading “Compassion of God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/18/its-broken No doubt we are broken one way or another by what we had gone through in life. Our failures, disappointments, tragic events, betrayals or u-turns by colleagues, family, friends or special friends even spouses. No doubt too that as we come to Jesus we are reconciled to the Father and He heals our brokenness,Continue reading “Incomparable Riches of His Grace”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/17/accepted-and-approved I think this issue of acceptance and approval by our fathers (or mothers) is probably more prevalent than we think. I never had this issue with my own father. Although he didn’t praise me much when I was growing up, I never had that feeling that whatever I did was not good enough forContinue reading “Acceptance By Our Fathers”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/16/fishing-with-jesus When I read Jesus’s early encounters with Simon Peter in Luke 5, two elements stand out for me. One is that as experienced and skillful Simon Peter is as a fisherman, Jesus was still better at identifying the right timing and fishing spot to lay out the nets! Simon Peter tried all night butContinue reading “What’s Our True Calling?”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/15/let-me-stay As I read Psalm 27, one of the key takeaways I get is that there is nothing to fear if we have God and the thing which David desires most is to spend all the days of his life dwelling in the house of the LORD. In the present context that means spending timeContinue reading “Presence of God”
