Hi everyone! How did you celebrate the Easter? Mine was full of sleeping and meditation. Thank God for the great love with which He loved us. Here's an Easter poem to keep you going.
A Helpless God?

He walked on this earth in great power
He healed the sick, raised the dead
Above normal mortals, He seemed to tower

He spoke with authority
And taught the people
Shocked and amazed every entity

The crowds followed Him, curious
To see miracles and eat bread
For to them, His claims were really spurious

Frowning, they tugged their turbans
The Pharisees sought to kill Him
For His fame had gone rural and urban

Yet He seemed unkillable
Yet He was untouchable
This Son of man, so irresistible

But at the moment of reckoning, His "luck" wasn't endless
And so it seemed,
That for a moment, God was helpless

He who had walked in power
Now unable to move a finger
His disciples began to cower

The people mocked, the women wept
The disciples scattered,
Running, confused, they all left

And for a moment, God was helpless
Or so it seemed

But O the wisdom of God, how unsearchable
If the princes had known,
They wouldn't have crucified Christ

Like a son He laid down His life
Bringing hell to confusion
And like a Son He picked up His life

 Now when it looks like God is helpless
Remember His weakness is greater than any strength
And His foolishness wiser than all wisdom

Happy Easter to you

Stalker God?

One Sunday during a church Bible study on salvation, the Bible study leader spoke about the coming judgement and told us that God keeps a record of the things we do and we will be judged according to our works. Someone asked why God follows us recording everything we do to judge us on the last day when He Himself had said we're saved when we believe in Christ. The leader asked the congregation if any of us had an answer and I shared my opinion. I gave quite a lengthy explanation on the difference between the judgment of Christians and the judgment of the world, the various crowns and rewards that will be given on the last day, and the fact that our lives are an eternal record of the glory of God and an example to the world. Everyone seemed to like what I said and I was applauded. After church, one of the junior pastors told me that he liked my answer during the Bible study class and I left, feeling a warm glow inside. As I thought about it, my mind was opened and I underst...

Dumsor Reflections

It’s six pm. You’ve had a long and tiring day. You leave the lecture hall as fast as you can, thinking about taking a bath, eating and relaxing in your room. But immediately you get to your room, the lights go out. “Ohhh ECG!” You probably scream. But go out for a while. Do you see something? Have you noticed that the nights the lights are out, the lights of the moon and stars are more easily seen and are brighter and more beautiful? Have you ever paused to reflect on that? In this world, we’ve surrounded ourselves with so many things and put on our artificial lights so bright that they create a haze around us and the light of God is not able to shine as brightly as it should in our lives. All the activities we’re doing are good, but if in the end they don’t leave us with time to fellowship with God, then it’s all vanity. It’s good to give in to your cravings and pamper yourself once in a while but when the desires of the flesh don’t allow you to exercise self-control and hi...

Moses' Excuses

Moses will always be remembered as the great prophet who led the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to the promised land in Canaan. In fact, the Bible says there has never been any prophet like him with regards to fellowship with God and signs and wonders (Deuteronomy 34:10-12).  Yet when God called and commissioned him, Moses like most of us was very reluctant to go. After his failed attempt at helping his people and living as a shepherd for forty years, he certainly had lost his confidence and fire. These are the objections he tried to give God: 1. Who am I? (Exodus 3:11) 2. They will not believe me and will doubt that I really saw God. (Exodus 4:1) 3. I am not eloquent (Exodus 4:11) 4. Send someone else pleeeeaaassseeee. (Exodus 4:13) Nevertheless, God who had called and chosen him from his mother's womb was patient and persistent. He promised to be with Moses every step of the way and He will be with you too. After Moses had ex...
