free devotional guides for your quiet time
This is from my own devotion using 2024 Devotions Week 35. SECTION 1 Of course from the way it is worded we should understand it to be a command; how can we refuse God of what is good and pleasing? It cannot be optional. But in Scripture we know that God desires our voluntary surrender …

I preached on Psalm 16 on Sunday. Here is my text. The psalm we are looking at this morning is Psalm 16. Let me read it to you. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good …

I preached this sermon in church yesterday and it was well received. Perhaps it may be a blessing to others as well. Good morning. Continuing our series on wisdom from Proverbs, the topic given for today’s sermon is “Fear of the Lord vs. Fear of Man”, with reference to Proverbs 29:25, which says “Fear of …

I wish they would leave me alone. Life has been intolerable ever since I was paralysed. I wanted to die but for some reason, God did not allow me and instead he trapped me in an even greater hell so that I can contemplate my sin while suffering the humiliation of being taken care of …

Meditating on 1 Timothy 6:3-5. The Elder, in his sermon to the church, used a quote from a renowned Christian, basically saying that if the church is not evangelising then the church is as good as dead (I’m sorry because I cannot remember the exact quote and I’m paraphrasing from memory) and I remember thinking, …
