Where is your treasure?
We see in the Bible, many instances of Jesus speaking about wealth and possessions! In Matthew 6 verse 21, he sums up by saying, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Indeed it is!! There can be many things in this world that our eyes covet and desire, that can consume […]
Break the ‘yoke’ of darkness – walk in the light!
In our walk in life, we can be yoked with many things. Jesus says in Matthew 11, verses 28 to 30, –“Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your […]
Who are we Yoked 2?
Jesus invites each one of us to be yoked to Him (Matthew 11: 28-30). This is not an onerous invitation, it is one of relationship. If we love Him, we will yearn to get close to Him and know more about Him. We already know that He loved us enough to die for us! This may involve us […]
Jesus’ yoke of rest.
Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 ‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’ What does Jesus […]

Journey to Destiny – “Stay on the camel!”
Life is certainly a journey. A journey that can be unpredictable, with both joy and sadness woven into the fabric of our lives. In the Old Testament, we see a story of a woman called Rebekah. In Genesis 24 we see her living out a daily routine and then out of the blue, a visitor […]
“Made Alive In Christ”
What does it actually mean to be “made alive in Christ?” When we were born, we inherited the ‘seed’ of Adam, the seed that is sin and leads to death! But when we accept Christ, we receive a life-giving seed that leads to eternal life in Christ. Once we were dead in our sins, but […]
“Wrestle-Mania”
When we look at our lives, we can reflect and can come to the conclusion that it can feel like one long “wrestle.” From our childhood, our thoughts, those around us can influence us and we can start pondering – “who am I? Why am I here? What is my Purpose? Our bodies grow and […]
The Transforming Power of God’s Grace
The Apostle Paul writes to the Church of Ephesus, in chapter 2 – verses 8 and 9, “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can […]
