Week 13: The anointing of the Lord is essential for any mission

As we near the quarter year mark of being on this journey, we will transition to the Kingdom era in the Bible - an era where God provides leadership for His people through the kings whom He appoints and anoints. To do this, in the upcoming weeks and months, we will weave through the various...

Week 12: God is faithful even through our faithlessness

This week in our Bible journey we will cover a time period that I just wish we could skip altogether because in more ways than one, it is very painful to read and digest. But when a commitment has been made to journey through the entire Bible, it means: NO SKIPPING. So...lets dive in. Just...

Week 11: Remember God’s faithfulness of fulfilled promises and always follow Him

Lights. Camera. Action. The time to enter the promised land is here and the Israelites do it. And they do it with the wondrous strength and awesome display of God's majestic power. God's newly appointed leader Joshua has taken charge. God promises him that He would be with him just as He was with Moses...and....no...

Week 10: God is able to powerfully use those who are yielded to Him

Around this time in 2018 we bid farewell to one of the most influential evangelists of our time: Reverend Billy Graham. I did take a few moments to pause and reflect on his life and legacy and thank the Lord for His amazing servant who served Christ faithfully till  the end. In this process, I...

Wow! The time has finally almost come. The time to enter the long awaited promised land. Yay! the wait is nearly over. Can you feel this excitement with me? Have you ever felt the  excitement of the eager anticipation as  you see the promises of God unfold before your very eyes? I have. I have...

Week 8: The promised land is so close but yet so far

I almost titled this week's blog "Fire and Leprosy and Quail, oh my" in light of all that happens to the children of Israel in the first half of the book of Numbers. After spending about a year at the foot of mount Sinai receiving detailed instructions on God's holy laws and having built the...

Week 7: Holy God provides the plan for unholy people to come into His presence

Last week as I was journeying through the last few chapters of the book of Exodus with my Elementary school aged children, it was quite fun getting their reactions and takes to some of the elements recorded in the book of Exodus that are so foreign to us in today's society. So, while we were...

Week 5: Peace amidst the storm

The year 1998 will always be one of great significance to me. It was the year where I faced some of the hardest battles and stormy weather in my life and frankly did not know if was going  to drown or make it alive. It was one of the most darkest periods of my life....

Week 4: God’s nature is not dependent on our circumstances

In some parts of the world, Spring is usually the time of the year that brings in the much needed joy and respite from the cold harsh winters. However some years, the winter may to be utterly cruel when it extends into April/May when one should be experiencing Spring in full force. And some years...

Week 3: Though it delays, wait for it!

Last week in our journey we read about all the amazing promises the Lord made to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. Not only did we see the promises and faithfulness of God, we also saw how God remained faithful even when those whom he called...um...weren't all that ....um....perfect. Which is totally fine with me because...

Week 2: The Greatest Promise Keeper!

This week as we continue our journey, we will zoom into the life of one family that the Lord called out to set them apart for His purposes. His first promise to Abraham (then Abram) was that He, God would bless him so that through him all the rest of the whole world would be...

Week 1, here we come!

As we begin our journey, we start at the very beginning and that is at: Genesis! Genesis is one of my favorite books because it introduces us to a lot of amazing aspects of our God - our powerful, most awesome, indescribable God Almighty who not only created us but continues to chase after this...
