The influence of the Spirit

Keeping your mind on Him

‘You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You’ (Isaiah 26:3); where the term ‘keep him’ refers to protection, a concealing and preservation for those whose eyes stay focused on Jesus, who is the Word of God.

Jesus at the center (ii)

Picking up from where we left off last week, we continue unpacking the concept of removing ourselves from the picture by shunning self centeredness. Self centeredness refers to one’s inability to stop thinking about themselves and their own interests, wherein they even fail to follow the Lord’s instruction because they are so consumed by how […]

Jesus at the center (i)

In his book to the Romans, the apostle Paul uses strong terms to compel the church into a specific system of thought, saying, ‘I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service’ (Romans 12:1). The apostle refers […]

Nuggets of the Wise

Manage what you feast your eyes and ears on, because before long, it will fill the contents of your heart and will become the confession of your mouth. And we cannot afford for the enemy to capture our mouth because our words are our weapon of warfare, our sword in the Spirit, we cannot be careless, saints!

Written for our learning (ii)

Today we continue considering the story of David, knowing that all in the Word of God has been written for our learning, an unending treasure that shows us the way to go and the way to discard. The Word remains relevant today because there is nothing new under the sun, all of what has been […]
