I’m very grateful for my good friend. There I was, concerned about how would we get the people, how would we market what we were doing, how would people get onto it. There he was with the crucial words of wisdom. Obedience in following and diligence in doing is all that’s required. The initial relationship […]
Read More Diligence: Keep On Doing What You’re Called To DoThere’s this bit in scripture: And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the Lord commanded. Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice […]
Read More Prayers and PracticesNo wonder Sarah laughed. One of the three visitors turned and told her husband that in a year’s time they would have a child. That was crazy talk. Did those visitors see how old her husband was? Didn’t they pay attention to how she wasn’t a spring chicken either? Man that time of child-bearing had […]
Read More He Will Do What? You Must Be Having A LaughIt is true. It’s not that everything that was going on was wrong. There may very well be some good in what is being done. The life of following Jesus, however, does include a degree of challenging everything. Everything. You think it’s a given that being married is a good thing. You see your upbringing […]
Read More Everything Changes From Where You AreWhat’s that, you’re saying if I pray, then I will have an encounter with God? That’s brilliant. So how do I pray? This is how I pray?

Read More Ongoing RenewalWhat happened? Something happens. People are involved in the happening. People observe the happening. People will get impressions on the happening. From there different narratives will be developed on what happened. Some will come together neatly and depending on those involved, it will become the accepted story for what happened. The way the happening is […]
Read More When Something HappenedExperience is such a valuable commodity in life. Having that degree of having done something before and knowing the highs and lows about the something in most cases makes you a valued member of any company. Indeed in some cases, organisations go out of their way to look for the proven and trusted operator on […]
Read More The Answer For Today Is Not Always Found In YesterdayIt was my mentor who got me to start thinking properly about expectations. Previously things happened to me and I just went with the flow. I was the recipient and did not really impose anything. I went to university to a large degree because it was expected of me. I had done the A-levels to […]
Read More Greater ExpectationsThere are those stories of a great success in a sport. An unfancied team won the big one. The individual ranked outside the top 100 upset the odds and won the tournament. The story talks about those attractive qualities people warm to about the underdog. The journey from nowhere to somewhere can wrap people up […]
Read More Not A One-OffSo. People get excited by a vision. In a certain period of time we will achieve this. After a particular portion of time we will be here. Follow me for a future where this and that and the other will be realised. Nothing wrong with that to a degree. I was reading the biblical narrative […]
