https://odb.org/2024/07/02/a-national-campout The Festival of Tabernacles is one of the celebrations instituted by God for the Israelites to remember the time their ancestors spent in the wilderness after God delivered them from Egypt back into the Promised Land. That journey was mostly spent in an oasis just south of Canaan called Kadesh Barnea. They lived inContinue reading “Festival of Tabernacles”

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”
Never ceases
https://odb.org/2024/06/20/new-and-certain I don’t have any issues with old things, especially furniture. By the blink of an eye, 13 years have passed since we bought the condo in the city, and the furnishings, although by now old, still look good to me. In fact, the things we have at our other house, the new house thatContinue reading “Never ceases”
The devourer
https://odb.org/2024/05/27/when-its-time We need to recognise and be aware that besides our own fleshy and selfish desires, there is someone else out there encouraging us not to follow God on the narrow path to righteousness. He tempts and seduces us to take the more common path favoured by most people. The path of least resistance. ForContinue reading “The devourer”
Blessed Mother’s Day!
https://odb.org/2024/05/12/leaving-a-spiritual-legacy 2 Timothy 1:3-5 is well known for the exaltation and salutation given by Paul to his protégé Timothy’s grandmother, Lois, and his mother, Eunice, for Timothy’s faith. Paul recognised the roles played by mothers and grandmothers in the development of Timothy’s faith over the years. The legacy of their faith. Even though I didn’tContinue reading “Blessed Mother’s Day!”
The Valley of Berakah
https://odb.org/2024/04/19/the-valley-of-blessing-2 There will be times when we may face impossible situations like the people of Judah being confronted with invading armies much more powerful than them. Instead of requiring them to be like the brave Spartans of ancient history, God intervened and caused confusion between the invading armies that they fought with one another andContinue reading “The Valley of Berakah”
Hearing Jesus’s voice
https://odb.org/2024/04/03/i-hear-you-god I think it’s a given that once we accept Jesus Christ into our lives as our Lord and Saviour, we will eventually know and recognise His voice. In John 10:1-10, Jesus uses the picture of a shepherd and his sheep to convey this message. Basically, the sheep will know and recognise the voice ofContinue reading “Hearing Jesus’s voice”
Realm of the dead
https://odb.org/2024/03/11/embrace-today I think it’s tragic that when we are about to die that we regret not having made much of our life that God gave us. Like in the novel, Nicola, who was born with wealth and talents, felt she had wasted her life and thus refused to acknowledge that she has terminal cancer. IContinue reading “Realm of the dead”
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?”
