Will you serve me?
Donkey was a very common method of transportation in Jesus’ time. However, it was not the typical mode of transport for kings. Most kings rode on horses or in chariots, displaying their strength and grandeur. Jesus, the King of kings presented Himself to His people as a man of humility, riding on a donkey. “Rejoice, […]
Jesus is the coming one
Christmas is a special day for mankind The story of God’s begotten son He came down to save the souls of men The essence of the love that binds us all. The lovely child, the battered, the crucified The risen and resurrected on high The saviour of the world – We […]
Will you identify with me?
Fear can be a truly crippling emotion. It can leave us haunted by the “what ifs”, “if onlys”, and “I should have” that come as we second-guess our own failure to do or say something. Joseph of Arimathea is a secret disciple of Jesus. Out of fear, he had not publicly identified himself with Christ. […]
Will you also betray me?
He was one of the Twelve. He walked and talked with Jesus, heard the sermons He preached, and witnessed the miracle He performed. This man was part of the group who cast out demons and worked miracles; he was doing the same ministry work that Jesus’ other disciples did. But after 3 years of walking […]
Restlessness
“Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher, “completely meaningless!” What do people get for all their hard work under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes. —Ecclesiastes 1:2-4— Dear Friends, Lately, I’ve been wondering: what’s my main goal in life? I’m still looking for a new job […]
Why not ask God?
Taken from My Utmost For His Highest Everyone who asks receives…—Luke 11:10 Ask if you have not received. There is nothing more difficult than asking. We will have yearnings and desires for certain things, and even suffer as a result of their going unfulfilled, but not until we are at the limit of desperation will […]
What is Forgiveness?
Recently, in RBC Ministries’ office in UK, we all completed something called a DiSC survey. Through answering a series of questions, we discovered our personality types—Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. The aim of such an exercise is to help us understand the way we work and how we can best relate to […]
Prayer of a 21st Century Young Adult
Using the five fingers as a prayer guide. (Thumb—those closest to us) Father, I thank You for those who support me, Who keep me strong in my weaknesses. For my family and friends I pray: Grant them peace in this day and age. Help me grow into the spouse I was made […]
Diet and Prayer
Before the year of 2013 ended, I made my New Year resolution for 2014. I remembered one of the things I wanted to see happen is to be transformed by God to become a woman whose confidence and security come from the Lord, and whose presence brings hope and life to the people […]
In the Storm
In this world so vast, Caught within its strangling grip, Over the horizon, storms that brew, Terrible to behold, more than we knew. It rages on, a wrath so deep, Angry waves form, toss and throw, Watery fingers that would not let go, Nowhere to run, but a depth so cold. Sinking […]
Why Should I Pray When it Doesn’t Seem that God Hears My Prayers?
It is part of the human condition to struggle with a sense of God’s silence—or absence. The disciples and the prophets had moments of weakness and distrust that are recorded in Scripture for all of us to read. The silence that causes us such anxiety is not only […]
When All Is Well
Last night, I read an encouraging blog that a friend shared on her Facebook wall. It talked about how easy it is to praise God when all is well in life, and how we tend to question God when we are suffering. Then it went on to remind us that God […]
Reflection: When God Isn’t Answering Your Prayer
Most of us have been taught that prayer is the first thing to do when we are in trouble. While it is sound advice, there is a possible pitfall. When we view prayer as a problem-solving technique, we lose sight of God’s intended purpose of it—as an instrument of intimacy […]
Tonight, I Pray
I wrote this poem as a response to what God showed me during one devotion time. In most of my prayers, I address God as Father. It’s my favorite address of Him, reminding me that I am His child and that I can “plead my adoption into His family as my stronghold” […]
Your choice – To be close or distant?
Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long (Ps 25:4-5). The Psalms have a way of capturing the reality of our human experience. Often, we could […]
