And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ Genesis 18:13Sarah might have laughed because she had no more tears left to weep or cry for the fulfilment of the promise. Her tears might have been exhausted over the course of 25 long years, and out of the shortage of tears, laughter was emerging in their place. Maybe the 25 years of waiting for the promise had taken a toll on...
And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” Luke 8:45This was the question Jesus asked. A women suffering from bleeding for 12 years touched Jesus in Jesus’s time. But in this generation, the answer is “I touched you”. I touched you because of my current situations and unanswered prayers for many years. The current difficulties have taken a toll on me, and made me handicapped. I saw you moving during my scripture reading, prayer, or church...
I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:9One of the purest form of God is...

And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God.” 2 Chronicles 26:18The priests said “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD”. Uzziah was a successful king who was greatly blessed by God. Even...
And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you” – Joshua 3:10What is the "By this" by which we will know that the living God is among us? Is it a miracle, healing, or financial breakthrough? Do we really need to have a "By this" to know that the living God is among us? Without having a “By this”, do we recognise and acknowledge that the living God is among us? Whether there is a "By this" or not, the living...
And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.” Job 42:7So many times, we have become like Job’s friends, who have not spoken the right words about or from God to our friends like Job who are suffering in God’s will. We have spoken Godly words, but some or all...
Everyone who reads Isaiah's vision picturize the temple, throne and God based on their view of God. For some, the temple could be a small room, and the throne may be as simple as a chair with God seated on it. As a result, they rush past this verse as if it’s a short cartoon or simple setting. They have no idea or don't understand the intensity of this vision. Some see it as a gigantic throne surrounded by sparkling lights and majestic...
So the men said to her: “We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear, unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home. Joshua 2:17-18Rahab was a women of faith. Rahab saved the spies by hiding them and later letting them escape through...
“Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.” 1 Kings 19:18When there was a severe famine in Israel, everyone might have talked about Prophet Elijah. Elijah was at the forefront of the Mount Carmel victory and the revival. There were disastrous times in Israel for several years. The nation, and even Elijah, thought he was the last prophet left alive. But his...
