1 Chronicles 12:32 talks about the sons of Issachar, who “had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do”. What was it exactly that Israel ought to do at that particular point in time? If we look into Israel’s history at that particular point in time, we’d find that King Saul had … Continue reading Sons of Issachar (1 Chronicles 12)…
The bronze serpent (Numbers 21)…
(Numbers 21:4-9)“4 Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way. 5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?

Purpose of God’s blessings (Exodus 3)…
I was reading the Book of Exodus some weeks back when something caught my eyes. God said in Exodus 3:21-22, “21 And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed. 22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her … Continue reading Purpose of God’s blessings (Exodus 3)…

The wind must blow…
It is astonishing how swiftly the enemy has moved, that in the short span of a few months, he has managed to weave a thick cloud of darkness across the entire globe - having done this amazing feat of global proportions right under men's eyelids so quickly, and so quietly, surreptitiously, almost unexpectedly. And the … Continue reading The wind must blow…
Timing of God (Genesis 15)…
In Genesis 15:16, God said to Abraham, “16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete”. The phrase highlighted in bold, mentioned so off-handedly, so… in passing, caught my eye, because this incidental piece of information, almost like a mere casual mention, revealed something of the workings of the … Continue reading Timing of God (Genesis 15)…

Paul said in Romans 7:15-20, "15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but … Continue reading What I will to do…
