https://odb.org/2025/12/04/believing-more-than-we-see Hebrews 11:1–4 (NIV): 11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.4 By faithContinue reading “Believing in things unseen”

Dreamscrolling
https://odb.org/2025/11/12/beyond-dreamscrolling 1 Peter 1:3–9 (NIV): 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is keptContinue reading “Dreamscrolling”
A leap of faith
https://odb.org/2025/09/30/a-leap-of-faith Ephesians 2:1-5,8-10 (NIV): 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of usContinue reading “A leap of faith”
Death and taxes
https://odb.org/2025/06/04/tis-a-fearful-thing Genesis 23:1–4 (NIV): 23 Sarah lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old. 2 She died at Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her.3 Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites. He said, 4 “IContinue reading “Death and taxes”
The 10 spies
https://odb.org/2024/10/03/saying-yes In Numbers 13 and 14, we will find the account of the 12 spies who were sent to Canaan, the Promised Land, to investigate and give an account of what they saw and their assessment of the land. The spies were no ordinary people as each represented a tribe of the Israelites who hadContinue reading “The 10 spies”
I am doing a new thing
https://odb.org/2024/08/13/behind-prison-bars I think it is important as a believer that we grow and progress in our spiritual life and not remain stagnant or backslide. We must leave the past behind and move on, not just past disappointments and tragedies but also past victories and achievements. If David had remained only with his monumental victory overContinue reading “I am doing a new thing”
Life’s pilgrimage
https://odb.org/2024/06/27/lifes-pilgrimage I think what distinguishes us believers from non-believers is that we not only have God in our lives but also a purpose in God. We have a calling in Christ with God’s plans and purposes for us, conceived even before we were formed in our mother’s womb. Life’s journey is not the end itselfContinue reading “Life’s pilgrimage”
Healing by God
https://odb.org/2024/06/16/the-lost-pendant There are those among us who believe that authority has been given to us by Christ to heal, and thus, the prayer to heal is to release the power of healing upon those seeking healing. Of course, not everyone gets healed. That’s the reality of the sitiation on the ground, and there could beContinue reading “Healing by God”
Help my unbelief
https://odb.org/2024/02/28/help-my-unbelief Mark 9:24 is indeed a paradox as it expresses both belief and unbelief in the same breadth. The man with a son who was demon possessed believed and yet had unbelief. I guess we face this issue too every now and then. We believe God could do something, but perhaps we do not believeContinue reading “Help my unbelief”
Sound sleep
https://odb.org/2024/02/26/sweet-sleep-2 I’m sure everyone has experienced nights, which we found very difficult to go to sleep. My wife, who usually falls asleep very quickly, struggles when she drinks just more than one cup of strong coffee in the later part of the day. I, on the other hand, will face the same issue when IContinue reading “Sound sleep”
