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?”
Habit of prayer
https://odb.org/2024/02/19/prompted-to-pray-2 I have heard before of testimonials by believers experiencing supernatural interventions in their lives in the form of a good Samaritan suddenly appearing out of practically nowhere to extend help. As suddenly as the help appeared, that person sort of vanished into the crowd, never to be found again. These believers later found outContinue reading “Habit of prayer”
Love and Commitment
https://odb.org/2024/02/14/motivated-by-love-2 One of the greatest blessings of having a husband or wife in the context of a Christian marriage is the commitment to be with one another through thick and thin. We build our lives together in Christ throughout the years, building our family and career while serving God in ministry and church. As timeContinue reading “Love and Commitment”
Gratitude to God
https://odb.org/2024/02/04/rewired-by-gratitude I recall being taught in a non-Christian seminar on the importance of having gratitude towards the creator, the Almighty God. It is one of those things that could release some hormones in our bodies to make us happy and contented and satisfied. That is why, as advocated by today’s ODB writer, we as believersContinue reading “Gratitude to God”
John Sung
https://odb.org/2024/01/31/fully-surrendered I read books on John Sung when I was young and I could see that although he lived a short life, he had a major impact on the lives of many people, especially in pre-independence Malaya that many families came into the faith because of his ministry. I had lived in Sitiawan before andContinue reading “John Sung”
God looks at the heart
https://odb.org/2024/01/26/no-more-prejudice-2 1 Samuel 16:7 sets out the criteria God uses to choose a leader for Him. God looks at the heart rather than the appearance. In contrast to Saul, who was the most handsome man in Israel and head and shoulders taller than anyone else (1 Samuel 9:2), David was only a young boy whenContinue reading “God looks at the heart”
