“And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?” (Judges 2:2, NKJV). Context The book of Judges begins in the shadow of a great transition. Joshua—the faithful leader who had guided Israel into the Promised Land—has died. The generation that witnessed God’s mighty works in the…

“Then God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?”” (Numbers 22:9, NKJV). Context By the time we reach Numbers 22, Israel has journeyed through wilderness, rebellion, discipline, and mercy. A new generation now stands poised on the edge of the Promised Land. Their presence alone is enough to unsettle the surrounding nations. One such ruler is Balak, king of Moab. Watching…

“Then the Lord said to Moses: ‘How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them?’” (Numbers 14:11, NKJV) Context The Israelites had come a long way since their deliverance from Egypt. Through mighty signs and wonders, God had revealed Himself as their Deliverer—breaking Pharaoh’s power, parting the Red Sea, and…

When someone asks a question about what we have, we become disturbed. Are they keen on weighing us to see where to put us, or even know how much respect we deserve? While it can be an opportunity to brag, when we have grabbed some gusto, it almost looks like a mockery or exposure when what we objectively have is something we dare not place on the table or identify with.  However, as we will see…

I recently came across an interview joke that suggests the moment an interviewer asks, “Can you tell us a little about yourself,” is when you realise you don’t know yourself either.  As uncomfortable as this question may be, it is undoubtedly one of the best and fairest questions to ask. While you may not know many things, at least you can say something about yourself.  A question about self…

There are moments in life when God speaks promises that seem… too late. We’ve waited too long. We’ve been disappointed too often. The deadlines we set for God have passed. And when He finally speaks—when the divine promise breaks into our ordinary space—we may respond not with celebration, but with hesitation and laughter. Not the joyful kind. But the quiet, guarded chuckle of someone who has…

Knowing where you are in life is crucial. To understand where you are well, you need to know where you are from, and where you are going. If you only know where you are from and aren’t sure of your destination, you may take any direction, but unfortunately, not every direction leads to your desired destination.
