Never have to be alone

Music is a wonderful gift from God and a powerful tool in the hands of mankind. Instrumental music can minister to the soul like it did when David played for Saul (see 1 Samuel 16:14-23). However, the lyrics of a song can do amazing things in the hearts and minds of the listeners. This is very important to me as a music minister because what causes transformation in the hearts and minds of people is God’s truth expressed in song.

Yesterday, I stumbled on a song by CeCe Winans titled ‘Never Have to be Alone’.

The Cross

I woke up this morning and tears of gratitude filled my eyes as I thought about what Jesus went through...

All we as sheep

My last blog post was about the Lord being our Shepherd. Now, I want to look at how we as sheep are to relate with our Shepherd and also with other sheep in order to thrive. Let’s see some interesting facts about sheep.

The Good Shepherd

Jesus describes himself in John 10:11 as “the good shepherd”.

Who is a shepherd?

A shepherd or sheepherder is a person who tends, herds, feeds, or guards flocks of sheep. Let’s look at these different responsibilities carried out by the shepherd.

Only God knows

As I approach what we consider a landmark age, I find myself undergoing some self-assessment and questioning what I’ve done with the decades I’ve spent on this earth.

Some think only men go through this self-critiquing but maybe that was when women didn’t think they had anything else to do on this earth but get married, have children, raise these children, and support their husbands as they fulfil purposes outside of the home.

My Righteous Rebellion

Paul was writing to his protégé, Timothy, warning him of things to come. If we look at what he wrote, we will see that we are indeed living in the days of which he wrote –

You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! (2 Timothy 3:1-5 NLT)

There is no doubt that these are very difficult times globally.
