We are all in this together!

Hey guys,

The past couple of weeks we have been looking at the world and feeling like we are watching a movie – the deaths, the lock-downs, the uncertainty, the fear. For me, this has given me time to reflect and question the purpose of life. I mean one day life is normal, the next  day we are working from home and at first  it feels so unreal – the more news we receive the harder reality hits, and it is no longer interesting but worrying and scary.

The world is at a standstill, and for the first time (at least as per my memory) we all understand each other’s struggles as we are all facing the same thing to some extent.

I have watched so many interviews, from experts – both qualified and self-proclaimed and appreciated what acts of service means as shown by medical professionals globally. They are giving their all to fight this virus and I pray for their strength, wisdom and peace of mind.

 Last week, someone in a group I am in questioned why churches are closing their doors, and I just realized that church is not a building. We have to pray where we are, because God is not restricted to the walls of our churches – we meet to fellowship and worship communally but God is not stationed in church – He is omnipresent. We need to set an example and follow and obey our leaders, Romans 13: 1-7:

Verse 1 “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

Let us pray for those in the front line, ask God to give them what they need to help us in this situation.

Pray with wisdom, but above all pray with faith.

Mark 11:22

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

There is a time to pray and time to do more than pray!

This is something I always say and strongly believe in, but it was a lesson for me in August. Sometimes in life we need people around us to pray for us, to cover us in prayer, to send us all those verses, sermons. And sometimes we need people to pray, yes

Are You Going To: Take Risks, or Walk by Faith?

“Take that risk” – that’s a phrase we hear all the time. But this got me thinking as Christians we are meant to walk in faith, and not take risks.   A risk can be described as “uncertainty about the effects of an act with respect to something that humans value”

Does our life reflect our faith?

I remember one of the things I used to ask my mum a lot growing up is why do people who are saved always say “my name is so and so I’m saved, and I love Jesus”, why wouldn’t they let their character or how they treat people show that they
