Jesus’ Trial before Pilate 11Now Jesus was standing before Pilate, the Roman governor. “Are you the king of the Jews?” the governor asked him. Jesus replied, “You have said it.” 12But when the leading priests and the elders made their accusations against him, Jesus remained silent. 13“Don’t you hear all these charges they are bringing against you?” Pilate demanded. 14But Jesus made no response to any of the charges, much to the governor’s surprise. 15Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner to the crowd—anyone they wanted. 16This year there was a notorious prisoner, a man … Read More

First Dream: Take Mary as Your Wife Joseph would have divorced Mary when he found out she was pregnant, but God sent an angel to him in a dream, convincing him that the pregnancy was of God. Joseph went ahead with the marriage. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:20 A pregnant woman who is not married would have … Read More
In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, “Ask [Me] what I shall give you.” Solomon’s Prayer 6 Then Solomon said, “You have shown Your servant David my father great lovingkindness, because he walked before You in faithfulness and righteousness and with uprightness of heart toward You; and You have kept for him this great lovingkindness, in that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today. 7 So now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of David my father; and as for me, I am but a … Read More

Anyone who believes that the Christian life does not require work is mistaken. God, contrary to popular belief, never said we wouldn't have to work. He never said we wouldn't have to put up with it. He never claimed that the Christian life would be free of pain or fatigue. However, God has stated that He will always provide for our needs and that He will complete what He has begun in us. … Read More
So, God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it as His own, that is set it apart as holy from other days! The Sabbath is a day set aside for rest and worship. According to the Book of Exodus, the Sabbath is a day of rest on the seventh day, commanded by God to be kept as a holy day of rest, as God also rested from creation. For some people, this day is on calendar day Sunday, for others, it is Friday while for others it is Saturday. This book will not debate on which day the Sabbath is because … Read More
From a corporate perspective, we refer to allowing others as delegating. Wikipedia defines delegating as the act of entrusting a task or responsibility to another person, (typically one who is less senior than oneself). Merriam-Webster states that the word made it to the English dictionary around 1700. From the Scriptures, we see God originating this concept at the Garden of Eden. … Read More

How many things are going right in my life that make me really enjoy it? So many, but the enemy keeps showing me the one thing I have not attained. He encourages me to reach out to that one thing and to do all it takes for me to get it. Most of the time, we achieve that thing and lose everything else freely provided for us by God. … Read More
We know that God is a worker because we see Him working for six days (Genesis 1-2:3). Therefore, as children of God, we must work and value work just as God does. The first words we see when we open the Bible are, “In the beginning, God (Elohim) created by forming from nothing…” The Bible starts with God working – creating. This creative work continues for six days with God creating everything that man would need in the Garden. In Genesis 2:8-9, we see God Himself doing the work to plant the Garden to ensure that Adam’s work of cultivating … Read More
As I run this charity drive for books, toys, clothes and household stuff to encourage teen moms in Nairobi and empower children in Nyinyira, Nandi, I am reminded of my needy moment decades back. In that particular year, I had gone through a tough transition in life from backslidden state a year before to giving my life back to God. I lost everything I had and had to start life from “factory settings”. I was so broke that I feared I had also lost myself. But one thing I had, my fire and passion for God. Three years after giving … Read More
From previous sessions, we established that dreams serve primarily as a means of communication between humans and God. These dreams can take many forms—visual images, auditory commands, frightening nightmares—but the common feature is a revelatory message from the divine to the dreamer. For God speaks once, and even twice, yet no one notices it [including you, Job].In a dream, a vision of the night [one may hear God’s voice], When deep sleep falls on men, while slumbering upon the bed. Then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction. That He may turn man aside from his conduct, and keep him from pride; … Read More
Long before Israel settled between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, their ancestor Abraham sojourned throughout the territory with his wife Sarah. Abraham was wealthy and often made other nations feel threatened. Whenever Abraham moved to or was passing by a new city, the leadership of that city took note. The culture of the time was that if a powerful king liked a woman, even if she was married, he could kill the husband and take the wife for himself. It is on this premises that when Abraham made his way to Gerar, he’s concerned that his wife is so … Read More
And it happened at the time when the flock conceived that I looked up and saw in a dream that the rams which mated [with the female goats] were streaked, speckled, and spotted. 11 And the b]">[b]Angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob.’ And I said, ‘Here I am.’ 12 He said, ‘Look up and see, all the rams which are mating [with the flock] are streaked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you. 13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and where you made a vow to Me; now stand … Read More
Dreams are an important part of many Biblical stories and passages because they offer insight and foresight into decisions and actions humanity need to do at each specific time. God promised to pour out His Spirit in the last days. Dreaming of dreams is one of the benefits promised when the Spirit of God is poured on all men. We look at all the dreamers in the Old Teestament to better and further understand the importance of dreams. How Many Symbolic Dreamers Are in the Old Testament?

God is a master communicator – the creater of both verbal/literal communication as well as symbols. In Scriptures, we see often how God’s people are instructed to make use of symbols to help them understand or remember what God is teaching them. Some examples of symbols include: The rainbow is the sign of God’s covenant to us that He will never again destroy the earth by a flood (Genesis 9:13), The placement of the twelve stones in the River Jordan to remind the Israelites of the crossing God had provided for them “as a sign” and “memorial” (Joshua 4:3-7), The … Read More
Relying on God’s Guidance Helps us Prepare for the Future But when the Spirit of truth comes he will lead you into all truth. He will not speak his own words. He will speak only what he hears and will tell you what is to come. John 16:13ICB Throughout his life, God blessed Joseph with the ability to interpret dreams. While in jail, Joseph performed this act for servants in Pharaoh’s home, one of whom was pardoned and returned to serve the Egyptian leader. Later, Pharaoh had a confusing dream, and his servant told him to summon Joseph. Joseph … Read More
Why are some dreams literal, while most are symbolic? Some people, like creatives, visionaries—really right-brained people—have more literal dreams. But for 95 percent of us, our dreams are usually symbolic, speaking to us in a figurative language we need to learn to understand. Symbolic language does not make the dream any less valid or true. Example: Joseph’s dreams Though the meaning was veiled in figurative expressions, it was a true message to Joseph from God. First Dream: Genesis 35:5-8 One time Joseph had a dream. When he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more. Joseph said, “Listen to the … Read More
And it shall be in the last days,’ says God, ‘that I will pour out my spirit upon all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see [divinely prompted] visions, and your old men shall dream [divinely prompted] dreams; even on my bond-servants, both men and women, I will in those days pour out my spirit and they shall prophesy.

Yesterday, someone asked me this question and it hit home. As parents, especially single parents, we often spend a lot of our time worrying about the future. On my end, I have spent the majority of my time thinking about what the future holds for my child and it often leaves me even more anxious than is necessary or required.

The true happenings relevant to a Christian are only found in God’s Word and in His promises, which guide you when you’re overcome with emotion.

Tool #1: Resilience Emotionally healthy people bounce back from adversity and stress—that’s called resilience . Such people cope with difficult situations and maintain a positive outlook. They remain focused, flexible and creative during good times and difficult times. Throughout His ministry, Jesus Christ dealt with lots of adversity and stress, yet He was able to maintain a positive outlook. That’s the ideal mindset, so “let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). This will give us resilience. One of the key resilience factors is effectively balancing stress and emotions. The capacity to recognize your … Read More
As I draw inspiration from Ellicott’s Commentary for English readers on this Scripture, Paul draws to a conclusion, in a comprehensive exhortation to stand fast in all that is good on the foundation which he had laid in the name of Christ. The exhortation is marked by the reiteration of affectionate earnestness, in which, however, we may (as always) trace an underlying method. In each pair of attitudes there seems to be reference both to an inner reality and to the outward development, by which it is at once manifested and perfected. In both, Paul would have us grow up … Read More
Reason #1: Being Grateful Makes You Happier and Healthier Most of us have probably heard the hymn “Count Your Blessings”, however, we might not know that literally counting our blessings increases our emotional health.

Guess which group was happiest at the end of the experiment? The ones who wrote about things they were grateful for of course! Even more interesting is that … Read More
After we remove the worry and anxiety, we can then move on to the next phase, which is to believe in the trust-fulness of prayer.

Everyone in this life goes through disappointments, loss and change. It may not be single parenthood related, but life has generous opportunities to get us into emotional instability. While these are normal parts of life, they can still cause sadness , anxiety and stress. Many men and women in the Bible faced emotional challenges (we aren’t the only ones!), and we can draw strengths from their examples. One of my best examples is king David. He went through an emotional rollercoaster, in my eyes, probably the one person with life’s most highs and lows. You can clearly see this throughout … Read More
Studies have shown that an emotionally stable mother or father brings up emotionally stable children. I understand how difficult emotional stability can seem in the midst of challenging circumstances. The good thing is, God is not asking us to do this on our own, He wants to be involved and is very interested to help us out. During my years of single parenthood, I do not remember a day that passed by without my eyes welling and leading to loud sobs of disappointment, bitterness, anger and confusion. It was so bad that my eyes were blood-shot red most of the … Read More
Hebrews 5:14 A habit is a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up. In various parts of Psalms, David repeats that his desire was to observe the commandments of God. In order to develop new habits, we have to keep doing God’s Word and will regularly. Scriptures in Hebrews tell us that solid food is for the spiritually mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil. To develop new habits, you have to exercise over and over again. If you fall, you rise … Read More

(i) (Psalms 1:1-3, 6) If we are struggling with sexual sin, we should know that we are blessed, fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God when we do not walk in the counsel of the wicked – following their advice and example.
