146 – The fellowship of His Son – II
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:9 KJV In a previous meditation, we said Jesus, like any true teacher taught His disciples by living out the life first, by words, deeds and then commissioning them to do the same. By His…
145 – The highway of holiness.
From the fall, man was subjected to death and so his pursuit was for life. However, life could only be found in the tree of life, which was guarded by a flaming sword. The reason for this is that man was sinful and was approaching a Holy God. The Holiness of God is what sets Him apart. Only that which is Holy can approach God. God’s holiness can be illustrated to a…
144 – The Fellowship of His Son
Before Jesus gave authority or power to any of His disciples, like any true teacher, He spent time with them. Acts 1:1 showed that in Jesus’ style of teaching His own, He showed by His life, teach and did works and then sent out the disciples to show by their lives, teach, do and then encourage others to do the same. This was how the church was formed. His aim for His…
143 – Rock of help
One of the greatest consolation and advantages of having God as a Father is that He is a Father indeed. We do not have to go through life without His help. God created man to depend on Him for his protection, provision, guidance, nurturing and life. Paul said in Acts 17:28 that “In Him we live, move and have our existence”. In Genesis 2:25 it was said that God created…

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) [5] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV The mind of a man plays a huge role in what he is and what he will…
141 – Give us this day our daily bread
I am that bread of life. [49] Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. [50] This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. [51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of…
140- Jesus believes in you
One of the famous quotes of Jesus is that no one builds a house without counting the cost, Luke 14:28-30. God is a wise builder and investor and like any wise investor, He does an analysis on the potential of an investment before putting in His resources. The greatest display of God’s faith in man was when He gave all that He has to redeem man. An investor would typically…
139 – The Way of the Wayfarers – 4
A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. Isaiah 35:8 NKJV In every generation, there have always been the group of people who…
138 – Building strong Foundations for Stormy times – 2
Matthew 7:25-27 shows that the type of foundation a man has would determine his state after the storm hits. In Psalm 11:3, we are told that if the foundation is destroyed, there is nothing the righteous can do. There are three major reasons a physical foundation is examined from time to time: Age,…
137 – Building strong Foundations for Stormy times
There are consequences of having a strong foundations and not having one. Jesus told us that stormy times would come, with men’s hearts failing them because of the disasters coming on the earth. Daniel 9:25 also says that the (true) way shall be built in troublous times. A strong foundation to…
