By Fadia Jolag Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV) It’s not surprise that Isaiah is one of my favouriteContinueContinue reading “Don’t Miss the New”
You Can!
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5 NLT) “Apart from me you can do nothing,” Jesus said.

My Type of Music
And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. (Romans 16:20 AMPC) I love to sing about God’s love and goodness in my life, but for a long time, spiritual warfare has been my type of music. You know, songs about warfare and victory which talk about God’s power and Satan’s finalContinueContinue reading “My Type of Music”

You Could be the One
Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor a prophet’s son, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.

Let the Little Children Come
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14 NIV) I love children. If I’m speaking to someone and a child happens to be around, I’ll start paying attention to the child instead. But I come from aContinueContinue reading “Let the Little Children Come”
A Lesson In Silence
“And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.” (Luke 1:20 NIV) God had enough of Zechariah.
