One of the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him, saying, “If you be Christ, save yourself and us.” But the other answering rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this Man has done nothing amiss.” And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And Jesus said unto him, “Verily, I say unto you, today you shall be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:39-43)
There are only two types of people in this world and these two types are perfectly represented by these two thieves on either side of our Lord Jesus Christ. An observation of these two thieves will help us understand why … Continue reading
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that has not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. (Ecclesiastes 2:21)
King Solomon talks about the travails of man under the sun, which in essence is the world around us. He’s not able to get to terms with the fact that a man toils and labours all his life only to … Continue reading

“It shall come to pass, when you be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days”, says the Lord, “they shall say no more, “The Ark of the Covenant of the Lord:” neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall it be magnified anymore.” (Jeremiah 3:16)
Which is the centre of the earth on a world map that bridges three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa? It’s the Middle East and lying central in this region is the country of Israel. The holiest city in all … Continue reading
Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. (Exodus 17:9-11)
We see quite an interesting phenomenon here unlike other battles that Israel fought. It is here that the name of the Lord, Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is my Banner, appears for the first time in the Bible and it is … Continue reading
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Wherefore say, behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood: because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. (Numbers 25:10-13)
There is a law for Bible interpretation called the law of first mention. Every time a subject is mentioned for the first time in the Bible, there is divine significance and God has placed a truth for His saints. This … Continue reading
Watch you and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. (Mark 14:38)
These are the last couple of statements our Saviour made just before His passion. Jesus and the three disciples, Peter, James and John enter the garden of Gethsemane to pray. Jesus asks the disciples to keep watch and pray. The … Continue reading
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. (Psalm 109:3)
Have you hated someone without reason ? We’ve all had our moments in our relationships but have you hated someone who’s been nice to you? The Bible says that Jesus was hated without a cause. In fact this was prophesied … Continue reading
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. (Exodus 34:7)
Sounds like a paradox doesn’t it for God to show Himself as the merciful forgiving One and then immediately change tone into a God who punishes generations for sins? This is where the infamous preaching on generational curses came forth … Continue reading
He prayed to the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before to Tarshish: for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents thee of the evil. (Jonah 4:2)
Jonah’s prayer is interesting! Jonah was a prophet asked by God to preach repentance to the people of Nineveh. Instead of sailing to Nineveh, Jonah takes a ship and sails in the opposite direction to Jaffa. The reason he sailed … Continue reading
He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. (Mark 16:16)
I intend to remove the misunderstanding that has come about by this verse regarding salvation. Once, while on a trip to Israel, while I stood on the banks of the river Jordan, a lady, who was part of our travel … Continue reading
