Every person longs for transformation at some point in life—seeking change, renewal, or a fresh sense of purpose. Most of the time however, we tend to look to personal effort and external circumstances to bring about this change but the truth is that real and lasting transformation comes only through an encounter with God.

The word encounter refers to an unexpected or significant meeting. It is an experience that can change the course of one’s life. A spiritual encounter is not...

As we step into a new year, there’s a sense of hope and anticipation that fills the air. It is a time to dream, plan, and set new goals. But beyond the resolutions and ambitions, the promise of something new from God stands as an encouragement to those who trust in Him. 

Isaiah 43:19 declares, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

Promises are a common thread in human relationships. We make promises to our friends, family, colleagues, and even to ourselves. Yet, it is no secret that we often fail to keep them. Changes in circumstances, wavering feelings, or sheer forgetfulness can lead to broken promises, leaving disappointment in their wake.

But what if we consider promises from a divine perspective? Unlike humans, God’s promises are unfailing. His faithfulness stands unshaken, and His word is...

Advent is a season of waiting, hope, and reflection. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are reminded that God’s intervention changes the course of history. Advent symbolizes that even in the face of despair, the story isn’t over. It is a time to remember that when all seems lost, God is faithful to bring restoration and life.

The word “Advent” comes from the Latin adventus, meaning “coming” or “arrival.” It is a time when Christians prepare their...

In today’s world, we often feel like just another face in the crowd. We are assigned numbers—whether it's a Social Security number, an employee ID, or a passport number—that reduce us to mere statistics in a vast, impersonal system. With thousands or even millions of people in any given organization, institution, or society, it’s nearly impossible for anyone to truly know us as individuals. We can sometimes start to wonder: Does anyone really notice me? Does anyone truly know me for who I...

Our eyes are powerful. Through them, we navigate our environment, make decisions, and respond to what we see. In many ways, the direction we look determines the direction we go. The Bible often uses the eyes metaphorically to illustrate spiritual truths because of how essential they are to our understanding and navigation in life.

Our eyes guide us, influence our thoughts, and can even affect the condition of our hearts. In life, we are constantly drawn to look at the...

Life is full of moments that seem to have inevitable outcomes—situations where, if left to their own course, would end in disaster, defeat, or despair. Yet, time and again in Scripture, we find two simple yet powerful words: "But God." These words remind us that God’s intervention changes everything. What could have been tragic or hopeless, when God steps in, turns into something transformative, miraculous, and life-giving.

The Power of Divine...

In the first part of this reflection, we explored the wisdom found in Ecclesiastes 3:3, particularly how understanding the ebb and flow of life helps us navigate its seasons. We examined times to plant, uproot, tear down, and build—powerful metaphors for the transitions we all face. Continuing in that same vein, let's explore further the balance of life’s contrasts and how we might respond to them.

The Preacher continues in Ecclesiastes 3:4 by stating, “A time to weep and a...

I often reflect on where I used to be and where I am today and most times it ends up with me showing gratitude to God for all that He has brought me through. Furthermore, it gives me the ability to track the time and seasons of my life.

In Ecclesiastes 3:3, the writer states, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens”. There were choices and decisions I made in my life, some of them unconsciously because it was the time and the season...
