Feeding The Family During Famine
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Records abound of the reality of famine both in biblical and contemporary times. Economic recession, depression, budgetary cuts and their negative effects on jobs, food inflation, disposable family incomes and the cost of living are all too familiar. In times like these, resourcefulness and reasonableness are required to ensure that the family is still fed. Ultimately, God should be our refuge and repose as we seek resourceful and reasonable ways of feeding the family in famine. “Adversity is…

Without Holiness, All Else Is Vain
Hebrews 12:14 Of what use is a passport for travel if you don’t have a visa or residence permit? Many a believer is contented with the primary and basic qualification for entry into God’s family – salvation, not being mindful of the fact that there is one spiritual experience “…without which no man shall see God”. Every believer, therefore, ought to give holiness the pre-eminence it deserves, and have the willingness to possess it. Without holiness our worship becomes pointless,…
Daily Dominion Built On Daily Devotion
Genesis 1:26-30; 3:8-13 The Christian life is a daily battle between the flesh and the spirit; good andevil (Galatians 5:16-18). If you appreciate and admit this fact, then it followsnaturally, that if you don’t dominate you will be dominated. If you have been dominated, the will and desire of God is that you will havedominion daily. Dominion demands nourishing daily devotion, whereasneglect leads to defeat. Daily dominion comes through nurturing a habit of daily devotion. “No one ever lost out…
