In this long episode, I give an expensive context to the history of salvation, why it has to happen and how it happened. Then I introduce Jesus and why His ministry was popular with the everyday people but which vexed the rulers and the Pharisees so much. I then finalize with the story of the disciples why they believed in Jesus at first. I attempt to get into the minds of the disciples and try to uncover their motivation before the death and resurrection of Jesus and how their zeal and hearts changed after the ascension. This is a great story to listen to when you are relaxed and quiet in a m ..read more

The bible talks, in several passages about the refiner's fire. At the end of time when we shall be called forth from the grave to receive the rewards that has been kept for us, what shall your reward be? Christ says in the parable of the talents that everyone shall receive the rewards according to the works that they did here on earth. Have you ever wondered whether the works you are doing will go with you beyond the grave? Are your works gold, silver, bronze, wood, straw, or hay? Christ says that we should work to store our treasures in heaven where no rush or moth can eat them. If you have b ..read more

This episode is based on Exodus 7-11. God had send Moses and Aaron to the house of Pharaoh to ask him to let the children of Israel go. With His mighty power, God would have easily killed the first borns the first time Pharaoh resisted and saved the Egyptians the agony of the 8 plagues. But this story demonstrates God's patience even with sinners. Pharaoh was given 9 chances to repent but with each forgiveness, he only hardened his heart and grew obstinate. There's a lot of lessons to draw from this story. Paul says that we need to watch how we stand, lest we harbor unbelief in our hearts and ..read more

In this episode, I go back to the book of 1 Kings 17, to talk about the faith of Elijah. Elijah declared a three year drought in Israel, as a punishment for the blatant idolatry that was practiced by the people. In the final duel between the prophets of Baal and Elijah, God is glorified by fire coming down to burn up the sacrifice that was presented by Elijah. Elijah then prays for rain and rain falls. But in chapter 18, when Jezebel threatened the life of Elijah, he chose to run away into the wilderness instead of praying to God and waiting for His word. God asks Elijah one important question ..read more

Have you ever wondered where sin came from? How did it happen that Lucifer started feeling pride, where pride never existed before? How did he come to convince a third of a billion billion angels to follow him in his rebellion. In this episode, we read from the pen of inspiration about the origin of sin in heaven and the judgement of God on Satan and his host. In the next two episodes, we will look at sin, it's definition and why Christ had to die and no other sacrifice was enough. Join me in this episode and the others this year and may you be blessed.

I have sometimes struggled to understand how God operates. But is it really possible to fully understand God? No it is not. In Isaiah 55:8-11, He says his ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts higher than our thoughts. We can't understand why God allowed Lucifer to live on. We don't understand why God would let children be killed and not intervene, we don't even understand when God says in His commandments not to do certain things. Instead of trying to understand first before we obey or acknowledge his works, we should instead have faith in his supreme authority. It's called unwaverin ..read more

In this episode, I study the story of Nehemiah in the book of Nehemiah 4. Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem with the third wave of returnees, decades after the temple was built. The walls had not been rebuilt, and the gates lay in ruins. God stirred up the heart of Nehemiah to lead the work of rebuilding the walls, and something that had taken years to do, only took 52 days. We need to fortify ourselves from the enemy's attacks and for this, we need to rebuild our walls and mend the parts which are broken. Assess your spiritual walls to see if they are broken down, or whether they are nonexistent ..read more

Let's look at Nebuchadnezzar's first dream in more detail. Why was this dream so important to the king that he could not wait for it's interpretation? God wanted to do two things, he wanted to show Nebuchadnezzar who was the true God and true King of the universe, and second, He wanted to pass a message to humanity about the things to come.

In this episode, I talk about Dianiel in exile in Babylonia. Daniel showed such steadfastness and faith in God that was unparalleled at the time. He was of noble blood and Judah was taken into captivity because of their iniquity. But Daniel, even in a foreign land, refused to conform. And from his story, we can learn that we also, do not have to conform to the patterns of this world.

King Asa started so well. He trusted in the deliverance of God. He pulled down the altars for idol worship. He rallied the people of Judah to trust in the Lord and during his time, Judah enjoyed peace for a period of 35 years. Until materialism got the better of Asa and he shifted his trust to material possessions, earthly kings and physicians. Asa died a man who did not acknowledge God. We who are living in these last days could fall on the same trap unless we watch how we walk. If you loved this episode, then do not forget to follow me on Spotify and Google Podcasts.
