Work as Mission: Lessons from Moses and Exodus 18
We live in a country with severe restrictions on the gospel. We have churches, but we cannot share our faith outside that environment. Even so, from time to time, opportunities arise. Some time ago, during one such opportunity, my wife was able to speak about Jesus…
Too Tired to Pray, Too Busy to Stop
Week 25
Recently, I found myself in a season that required more from me than I expected.
I started caring for an elderly woman, the mother of someone who has been a great blessing to me and my family over the years. At the same time, I was still managing my regular work responsibilities…
Alone in the Crowd
Week 24
Most of us spend our days surrounded by people, information, and expectations. We navigate meetings, deadlines, projects, lectures, clients, colleagues, and countless decisions. We are constantly connected, constantly engaged, and constantly responding.
The Noise We Call Normal
Week 23
Most of us check our phones before our feet touch the floor. It happens without thought—the habitual reach for the device, the immediate intake of messages, news, and notifications. Before the day has properly begun, we are already responding to it…
Seek First: Simplifying Priorities
Week 22
Here's a question worth considering this week: What is my day really centred around??
Not what I say my priorities are. Not what I would write on a list. But what my calendar, my energy, and my first thoughts in the morning actually reveal.
If I am honest, the answer is often not God.
Simplicity as Trust: Letting Go of Control
Week 21
Matthew 6:33 comes at the end of a powerful teaching from Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. He begins this particular session by reminding us not to store up treasures on earth, because earthly things do not last…
Simplicity in Daily Living: Creating Space for God
Week 20
Reading Epistle to the Hebrews 12:1 was the push I needed today.
We have been facing difficult days. Health and work-related issues have weighed heavily on us, but I also need to confess that lately my mind has become a particular battlefield. I have been more introspective than usual.
Mary and Martha: Choosing What Matters Most in a Distracted World
Week 19
During our weekly Bible Study early this year, my 5-year-old daughter, Beulah, was asked to take the opening prayer. She obliged, and began, “Father, thank You for helping us to come to study. Please help Mummy not to fall asleep today, because she always sleeps during study ″. Everyone laughed, including me.
Simplicity of the Heart: Undivided Devotion
Week 18
A university student once shared how hard it had become to concentrate during prayer and Bible study. Anytime she wanted to spend time with God, her mind would quickly move to assignments, messages on her phone, plans, and worries about succeeding in life. Even while praying, she was already thinking about the next thing to do.
Formed to Be Seen: When Learning Becomes Witness
Week 17
In the past weeks, we’ve seen that study shapes your faith, forms a teachable heart, and leads to obedience. But Scripture now pushes us one step further:
Your learning is not meant to remain private. It is meant to become visible.
Living Out the Word You Study
Week 16
Studying the Word of God is not just another form of learning. It is a spiritual discipline that shapes how we think, live, and relate with God. Yet, it is possible to spend time in Scripture and still miss its main purpose if it does not move us to action…
A Teachable Heart Shaped by God’s Word in Everyday Work
Week 15
A teachable heart does not grow by accident. It is formed with intention, and for the believer, it starts with studying God’s Word. Proverbs 18:15 reminds us that wisdom is something we go after. It does not come passively…
Growing in Faith Through Study: A Discipline for Spiritual Maturity
Week 14
When we look carefully at the teaching of Scripture, we realise that spiritual growth does not happen automatically. Time, by itself, does not produce maturity. It simply reveals whether there is genuine commitment to the truth God has already given.
The author of Hebrews offers a direct warning. People who should have progressed are still at an early stage…
What can fasting teach us about work and leadership?
If we fail to fast, we may miss out on many blessings. If we fast wisely, it can make us better employees and leaders. It can also help us cope with the challenges we face.
“What’s in it for me?” is a key question when we’re considering what to buy, read, or get involved in. When it comes to fasting, however, this question leads us in the wrong direction.
From One Promise to All: Seeing God’s Plan This Easter
Week 13
When God spoke to Abraham saying, “Lift up your eyes… all the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever” (Genesis 13:14–15), it may seem like a personal blessing. But it was the beginning of something far greater. Through Abraham, God was unfolding a plan that would extend beyond one family, one nation, or one generation. That plan finds its fulfillment in Jesus, and Easter reveals the full picture…
When God Leads Your Work — Clearly or Quietly
Week 12
We often long for moments like this. Clear direction. A defined calling. A sense that God has spoken into our work, our decisions, our next step.
In Acts 13, that’s exactly what happens. In the middle of worship and fasting, God speaks. The mission becomes visible. The next move is unmistakable.
How Fasting Builds Patience, Humility, and Emotional Self-Control
Week 11
Fasting is more than missing meals. It is a quiet discipline that shapes the heart. The writer of Hebrews reminds us:
“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”
— Hebrews 12:11
Making Room for God: The Fast That Chooses Justice
Week 10
Why do we fast?
This is the question I ask myself before asking it of you. I have practiced fasting to deepen my communion with God and to seek to be His instrument in the country where I live. Yet when I read Book of Isaiah 58, I encounter a deeper challenge…
Fasting-Strength Through Dependence
Week 9
“Apart from Me you can do nothing.” That statement confronts the modern professional mind. We are trained to believe the opposite. With the right credentials, strategy, network, and discipline, we can accomplish almost anything. Results reinforce that belief. Promotions, successful projects, and measurable impact become quiet evidence of personal capability…
Prayer That Reshapes Priorities: Letting God Guide Your Desires
Week 8
When exploring the Hebrew words used for “prayer”, we discovered that there is more than one term, each highlighting a different aspect of prayer: asking, pleading, crying out, interceding, and examining one’s own heart before God. This shows that prayer is far more than a list of requests — it is a living encounter with God…
