Nevertheless, the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death. (Jeremiah 26:24)
If this verse strikes you as something out of the blue, bear with me for a moment while I show the background behind this verse. Jeremiah in the natural is in a tight spot for prophesying against the children of … Continue reading
Will you also disannul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be righteous? (Job 40:8)
What about Job? An oft heard question among believers. The book of Job is not an excuse for sovereignty of God, as many teach, but a book that’s so relevant and true of many believers, even in these last days. … 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
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. (Hebrews 8:7)
Let me first establish the covenants that are spoken about here. All through the Bible, there are many covenants that God made with man. Theologians are divided in the number of covenants; some argue there are seven and some, eight. … Continue reading
For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me. (Psalm 69:9)
The dictionary defines “zeal” as “great energy or enthusiasm in the pursuit of a cause or an objective.” This is a Messianic verse concerning our Saviour, Jesus Christ. He was zealous, utterly passionate about something and when I tell you … Continue reading
He answered and said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
Jesus distinguishes two types of lives just on the aspect of feeding. This was our Lord’s reply to the first temptation of the devil. People of this world live that first type of life which I would like to call … Continue reading
Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, “Go up against this land and destroy it.” (2 Kings 18:25)
The devil is a religious freak! The world has portrayed the devil as someone scary, someone with a terrifying menacing personality. But the Word shows that he’s cunning and subtle. That’s where his genius lies. It’s not rocket science to … Continue reading
And God said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and get into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell you of.” (Genesis 22:2)
To Abraham, his son Isaac is the greatest thing that’s ever happened in his life! He finally saw in his old age, the dream and desire of his life to come to pass. Understandable for a man who had been … Continue reading
Moreover your little ones, which you said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it. (Deuteronomy 1:39)
I remember watching a documentary on television about the stringent law system in a particular country. They showed a man tied to a pole and was beaten to death by the people of that city. The reason he was beaten … Continue reading
Sin, taking occasion by the commandment , wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. (Romans 7:8)
There are many covenants in the Bible but all the covenants rest upon these two main covenants – the covenant of law and the covenant of grace. The law covenant had an expiry date and it expired when Jesus fulfilled … Continue reading
