https://odb.org/2024/08/29/plant-justice One of the things I feel we should always remember, even if we have been in the faith for a long time, is that God is a God of justice. What I mean is that even though we have been saved by the blood of Christ and have eternal life, God will not hesitateContinue reading “God of justice”

Camouflaged Christians?
https://odb.org/2024/08/27/look-more-like-jesus John 17:14-17 NIV: 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16Continue reading “Camouflaged Christians?”
The LORD, my refuge
https://odb.org/2024/08/19/forest-darkroom We know that as believers, we are not immune to the rigours and rhythm of life. At best, we could flow along and make the best of what life throws at us. Sometimes, certain events are too hard to bear, and we falter. We get distracted. We get disheartened and discouraged. Some even fallContinue reading “The LORD, my refuge”
Hallelujah
https://odb.org/2024/08/18/heaven-is-singing Revelation 19:1-5: 1 After these things, I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honour and power belong to the Lord our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication;Continue reading “Hallelujah”
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”
A life worthy of the Lord

Never will I leave you
https://odb.org/2024/07/25/really-live I learned the illuminating truth about God’s healing in the first few years of my Christian life when I read through page by page an autobiography by Joni Eareckson. That was about 40 years ago. The truth is that God doesn’t heal everyone all the time. The fact that He heals is by itselfContinue reading “Never will I leave you”
God is our refuge
https://odb.org/2024/07/24/my-true-refuge If we have been with our spouse, say, for fifty years, from courting days until we grow old together like the Chinese say, from dark hair to grey hair, it may be really tough and difficult for us to carry on living if our spouse departs the earth before us. We would have beenContinue reading “God is our refuge”
Good works for God
https://odb.org/2024/07/22/instruments-for-good Ephesians 2:4, 5, 8 to 10: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it isContinue reading “Good works for God”
God looks at the heart
https://odb.org/2024/07/10/search-my-heart The thing about God looking at the heart, rather than our appearance or credentials or background, is that no one else really knows what’s in our hearts. So, man, still look at credentials and background, and that is why churches still look at your seminary qualifications, and those in full-time ministry still chase afterContinue reading “God looks at the heart”
