Being a witness for Jesus
I wanted to share some thoughts about being a witness for Jesus. I hope this blesses you. John chapter 1 introduces Jesus as the Word that became flesh and He is the true light while also mentioning John the Baptist. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came [...]
The Lion King Movie: From A Christian Perspective
Four days ago I watched The Lion King with my siblings at the cinemas. It’s a childhood Disney favourite of mine and this movie was a remake of the original animation. I was excited, nostalgic and couldn't help but sing along to some of the songs. But as I watched, I couldn’t help but see [...]
Ezekiel’s Prophetic Call
I am currently reading the book of Ezekiel and in chapter 2, Ezekiel is called by God to become a prophet. God explains to Ezekiel that He is sending him to the children of Israel who are rebellious and mentions how their ancestors were also stubborn and hardened their hearts towards God (Eze 2:3).

You might even admire them but be careful that you don’t compare yourself or your relationship with God, with theirs. God created us differently, speaks to each and every one of us differently but also, our relationship [...]

I didn't realize this until I started walking further down the shopping mall. It dawned on me that I was heading in the wrong direction. Instead of turning around, [...]

By the time you’ve read the title, you’re probably wondering, where is she going with this? It’s true, obviously, I’m not the Holy Spirit but sometimes we can try to do His job unintentionally. I had a very humbling moment last night where in the middle of a sermon that was teaching on how one [...]
Encounters and Evangelism
I was reading Acts 9:1-22 about Saul who is now Paul in the bible. This passage of scripture was preached about in last Sunday’s evening service. I decided to read about this myself early this week and God spoke to me through this story. It’s about the encounter of Christ and how he was blinded and [...]
The Word of God in the wilderness/world
I want to share what I learnt from studying Luke 4:1-13 in my quiet time. “Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the spirit in the wilderness” (Luke 4:1) This is significant because the Holy Spirit was the one that led Jesus into the wilderness, away from people [...]
