https://odb.org/2024/03/10/god-made-them-all The diversity of nature is a testament to the magnificent power and glory of God from the world of microorganisms of bacteria, cells, and viruses to the oceanic plankton, algae that produce as much as half of the earth’s oxygen. I guess that the other half is produced by the photosynthesis of plants. TheContinue reading “God’s creation”

Using whatever we have for God
https://odb.org/2024/03/08/its-enough The story of Moses with his staff is a good example of us using whatever God provides to answer and fulfil His calling on us. When Moses threw his staff to the ground, it became a snake, but when he picked up the snake by its tail, it became a staff. It was miraculous,Continue reading “Using whatever we have for God”
God our refuge
https://odb.org/2024/03/07/strength-and-tenderness The temptation to sin is always present all around us. It could be the work of dark forces in the spiritual realm, or it could also be naturally occurring as a lot of times it could also be an internal perception. Meaning to say, instead of some invinsible being putting temptations along our way,Continue reading “God our refuge”
Salvation and good works
https://odb.org/2024/03/06/good-works-ready I like this phrase – we can not be saved by our good works, but we are saved so that we may do good works. Salvation is by the grace of God. We are saved by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and by confessing our sins and asking God to forgiveContinue reading “Salvation and good works”
Christ dwelling in us
https://odb.org/2024/03/04/he-dwells-within When we accept Jesus into our lives, He comes and stays within us. He dwells in our lives. That is why Paul describes our bodies as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and thus, even though our earthen vessels are in a fallen state and we age, get weaker and decayContinue reading “Christ dwelling in us”
Owner or steward
https://odb.org/2024/03/01/owner-or-steward Are we really the owner of our assets and money, or are we a steward for God? That’s an interesting question. Legally and in the natural, we are owners. The law recognises that. No one can just take them away from us if we had paid valuable consideration. The law is very clear. AnyContinue reading “Owner or steward”
Healing of the blind
https://odb.org/2024/02/27/when-jesus-stops I think that the fact Jesus stopped and asked for the blind beggar to be brought to Him as recounted in Luke 18:35-43 (also told in the other Gospels with slight differences in the details) was touching as it showed His compassion and love. Jesus was not so focused on the task at handContinue reading “Healing of the blind”
Good character
https://odb.org/2024/02/22/walk-in-my-shoes We all know Christian life is a journey to eternity that passes through this life on earth. Our passage through this life is temporal since eternity is our destiny. But like animals on the African plains, we need to eat to continue living although air is for all to breathe. As human beings livingContinue reading “Good character”
How long more, O Lord?
https://odb.org/2024/02/20/nothing-happened Today’s post will explore the some times frustrating and anguish wait for the Lord to answer our prayers. It feels like a long wait. We pray and pray, but God appears to be waiting for the right time to intervene when we feel that now is the time. If it’s a miracle or healing,Continue reading “How long more, O Lord?”
Love each other
https://odb.org/2024/02/16/love-all When it comes to the commandments, the first is always love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37). The second is to love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22:39). The third is love each other as I (Jesus) have loved you (John 15:12). The third commandment is higherContinue reading “Love each other”
