The death of Jesus Christ was very public yet subtle in a way that not many people understood what was really going on, even His disciples only had full discernment after He had risen from the dead. Not everyone had a sobering realization that at the end of one’s life, either you will be in heaven’s eternity or death’s eternity. One thing that has always got me thinking is why was there two thieves on the cross with Him and not any other kind of transgressor? I have always be

How involved would you say Jesus is in your day-to-day life? Is He in full and utter control of your decisions? Would you say He is your Lord or Master, and would you say your steps are ordered by Him? Well, if He is then good on you, but also there must have been a time when He wasn’t, when you sought your own counsel. I personally have struggled a lot with God’s authority. Letting go of control and fully submitting to God’s will over my life has been a struggle and still is

In chapters 14 and 15 of Judges, we have seen the birth, marriage and miracles of Samson’s life thus far. If you haven’t read them, please do, so you don’t miss out on the action and shocking revelations of God’s plan of salvation through Samson, from foxes on fire to heaps upon heaps with a jawbone? Samson became a very busy man after finding out his wife was given away, which led to a series of back and forth attacks between him and the Philistines, leading to him wanted fo

Samson was a true Nazarite, born to deliver Israel out of the hand of Philistine. In the previous passage we saw how the circumstances surrounding his birth were similar to the ultimate plan of God’s salvation, Christ being born to us. We came to understand that the Son of God referred to as the Angel of God came with the great news of the birth of Samson, which made his birth exceptional, and a sign of things to come. The Philistine Wife To help understand the message in thi

One of the most tragic love stories in the bible comes from the book of Judges, Samson, and the women in his life. I was drawn to this story because of my interest in understanding betrayal in the eyes of Delilah, and how it was possible for someone who once was the strongest man in their time, could resist several attempts of his beloved to betray him, and eventually lead to his downfall. And of course, I was in for a surprise when I discovered it wasn’t only Delilah who com

A couple of days ago as I was reading my bible, I came across a passage on the fig tree that sounded so familiar and reminded me of one of Paul's letters in the book of Corinthians. The circumstances surrounding the fig tree and how Jesus responded to it has always left me puzzled. It made sense that He cursed the Fig tree because it was deceiving, but I could not connect the tree to His response about prayer and forgiveness. As I explain further, I hope you will be as bless
