The Warning

The Warning

June 24, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 4 comments

Isaiah is speaking about Israel, but as I read through Isaiah, I can’t help but think this is us now. This applies to us today, and it is a warning for us too, before it is too late. So, let us listen to God’s warning.   Isaiah 1 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear,…

Why Righteousness?

June 17, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 10 comments

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.” Jeremiah 23:5 Righteousness is integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, the correctness of thinking, feeling and acting, and justice. “Blessed are…

Pray without Ceasing

Pray without Ceasing

June 10, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 8 comments

The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Ephesians 6;18). I recently heard a pastor say that one of the most difficult things to do is maintain a proper and consistent prayer life. Hearing this, I thought, wow this is so true. I have always struggled with praying and praying consistently. It…

Enoch Knew God

Enoch Knew God

June 3, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 4 comments

Enoch had much favour with God. He had so much favour that God did not allow him to die. Shouldn’t we all want what Enoch had? Shouldn’t we all want that kind of favour from God? Enoch pleased God, he walked with God, and he had faith in God. How can we do the…

The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked…

King Hezekiah

King Hezekiah

May 20, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 10 comments

A Reminder to Try Our Hearts Always Hezekiah reigned as King of Judah after his Father, King Ahaz. His Father did not do what was right in the eyes of God (2 Kings 16:1, 2 Kings 16:20). However, Hezekiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord according to David his father…

In the Wilderness

In the Wilderness

May 13, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 6 comments

Israel spent forty years in the wilderness, and if we don’t look closely, it seems like a lot of wasted time. But God was purposeful in what He was doing. He was testing Israel and teaching them His ways. Israel failed God’s test, and we would have failed too if put in their shoes….

God Calls the Least

God Calls the Least

May 6, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 4 comments

It is so easy to think that I am nobody and there is nothing special about me. To think that there are so many people better than I. Many have great talents, who prosper in much and who are favoured by many. It is so easy to think of myself as weak, and I…

Relationship God created man and established a culture of relationship with him. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and…

The Lord Make His Face Shine Upon You

The Lord Make His Face Shine Upon You

April 22, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 6 comments

This blessing is taken from Numbers, and it was a blessing over God’s people. But as I look closer at “The LORD make his face shine upon you”, I wonder what does this mean? The Strong’s Bible Dictionary tells me that shine here means to be or become light, to shine, to illuminate and…
