Who Will Bell the Cat?

Some mice had a huge dilemma that caused them to hold a meeting. The agenda? A cat who constantly threatened their lives. At the meeting, the mice recited a long list of grievances. They resolved to put a bell around the cat's neck so that they could hear when he approached. They all rejoiced until a little mouse raised his hand and asked-

"but who will bell the cat?"

A hush fell and till now, no one has belled the cat.

Who will bell the cats in our lives?

For a long time, humanity faced such a problem- the problem of sin and death. The Law pointed out the problem and said, "this is what you have to do to become righteous". But just as the mice could not bell the cat, the law didn't give man the ability to become righteous.

For the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. Hebrews 7:19(NET)

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:3-4/KJV)

When law says you need to be in Accra, grace says use this helicopter to get there. Grace lives in us to give us the ability to do God's will.

Jesus is the grace of God. Will you allow Him to take control of your life today?

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...

That Dirty Rag

Would you pick your one cedi note if it fell into a gutter? Probably not. Even if it was your last cedi? Most likely, you’d look at the gutter and the things floating in it, wrinkle your nose in disgust at the smell and let it go…even of it means you have to walk home. After all, even if you remove it, there’s nothing you can do to make it better. Surely, you might reconsider if it was your phone, purse or wallet, but not that that dirty rag. That dirty rag which was once a clean white handkerchief. That dirty rag which in its lifetime had been used to wipe sweat, water, dirt, blood, your shoes and other things until it could no longer be recognized as a handkerchief. That once-white handkerchief which had turned some unidentifiable colour which you kept at the side of your bag for wiping your shoes. Who would bend down to pick that not-too-valuable rag that had fallen into the disgusting, smelly gutter? Only Jesus would. Only Jesus would do something that people ...

Let In The Light

Imagine a room. A dark room. A cold dark room where the windows and door are tightly shut. Where you have to grope about to find your way cause your eyes can't get used to this darkness. You need light but the windows are barred shut. Maybe your life is as dark as this room and you're groping and stumbling, trying to find your way. Perhaps you're confused and you don't know what to do. You need clear, specific direction on what to do and where to go. So what do you do? Turn to the door. And open it. And let the light flood in. Let it bring freshness and warmth and clarity of vision. Let in the light of God's word to guide you and live a fulfilling life. Psalm 119: 130 Your instructions are a doorway through which light shines. They give insight to the untrained
