Genesis 2:16-17 MSG [16-17] God commanded the Man, “You can eat from any tree in the garden, except from the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. Don’t eat from it. The moment you eat from that tree, you’re dead.” Man was commanded to eat freely from any tree in the Garden of Eden, including the Tree of Life. Imagine if…

Today, I want to share with you about my favourite Bible version—the New Living Translation (NLT). The reason I love this version is because of how easy it makes it to read the Bible. I enjoy reading and exploring different versions, but I always find myself coming back to the NLT. It helps me engage…

1 Samuel 2:12 (NLT) states, “Now the sons of Eli were scoundrels who had no respect for the Lord.” Let me emphasize, I’m not the one calling them scoundrels—it is Jesus Himself. Jesus, the Word of God, uses this term to describe them. I looked up the meaning of a scoundrel, and it describes someone…

Matthew 18:21-22 NLT “Then Peter came to him and asked, ‘Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ Jesus replied, ‘but seventy times seven!’” When Peter asked Jesus about forgiveness, he likely thought seven times was generous.

Hakuna silaha yeyote iliyotumwa kinyume chetu itakayo faulu. That’s the song that has been in my spirit since yesterday, and even more so today. It’s the only song I’ve been singing on repeat like a broken record. Whenever a song sticks to my mind like this, I know there is a message God wants me…

John 6:29 NLT [29] Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” This verse highlights the simplicity of the work God requires from us. It’s not about doing a million things or striving in our own strength; rather, it’s about believing in Jesus Christ,…

My life has transformed so much that I now even dream in Scripture. This morning, I woke up from a dream where I was about to teach a youth Bible study on love. It felt like I had been chosen to lead the discussion, and as I walked in, the pastor was telling the group,…

John 6:31-32 NLT [31] After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ [32] Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven.”…

Who knew that the past five months would be the happiest of my life? Seeking God has brought me a joy and peace I have never experienced before. The pain and heartache I once endured feel like a distant memory. Since I left, I’ve experienced a joy that’s unexplainable, and I’m so grateful to God…
