The apostle Paul, when writing to the church in Philippi had a very interesting take on peace. He said: “… and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4:7 This is a common verse that many of us know. Having grown up inContinue reading “Divine Peace”

Of difficult times, growth and God’s love
I read a very interesting quote from the Forbes magazine yesterday, that difficulties build up our mental muscle the same way physical exercise builds up our bodies. It is a very interesting concept, to think that we need tough times to strengthen and equip us. Often, my first thought when difficulties arise is to stepContinue reading “Of difficult times, growth and God’s love”

It reminds me that sometimes we have to wait for the goodContinue reading “Good things are coming, just wait for it!”

I’m learning that sometimes it helps to go back to the old school way – cracking open a book. I came across thisContinue reading “Hearing God in tough times”
Isolating faith
I recently learnt about this idea, isolating faith. It was explained to me as a point that comes in one’s walk of faith where God has to separate you to continue building you as a believer. It sounds like a strange thing, a least it did to me at first. But when I looked deeperContinue reading “Isolating faith”
Success in detail
I’m borrowing this from my pastor, who recently spelt out some of the key areas that define success for a Christian. I hope it encourages you to keep on keeping on as much as it did for me: S – Sense of direction Without a vision and knowing where you are going, then success will be an elusiveContinue reading “Success in detail”
Facing fear
We all have those days. Those hours in the middle of the night when it feels like we have fallen off the bandwagon and lost our sense of direction. Those moments when it feels like we are so far gone that nothing can bring us back. When that little voice in our head tells us,Continue reading “Facing fear”
