Undaunting confidence

Why should we have absolute confidence and courage to take on any and every situation that presents itself in our lives?

Well, some of us do and some don't.

And some are uncertain and don't know how.

In this post I am reassuring myself to do exactly that. I am also reinforcing the reasons why, presenting myself with the very evidence that makes this an open-and-shut case!

Words have meaning and power. And like the wise Solomon explained, Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. Proverbs 18:21 AMP

Let's get into the confidence matter

Charitoō to gush out His Love!

Every now and then I come across a word that I really, really like.


I like certain words for certain specific reasons.


These words then become my special words. Words I treasure.


They end up in my reserved place for special words


However, for that particular word to become one of my special words, it must comply. It must have certain unique qualities.

Klēronomos

Today I elaborate on klēronomos.

Klēronomos?

In the Greco-Roman world the word klēronomos is a legal term. 


Klēronomos is found on ancient inscriptions that refer to a son after he succeeded to the inheritance of his father and became the representative of his father, undertaking all the duties and obligations of his father.

Open-faced

I am an advocate of good health, organic living and simplicity.

What many people don't know is that I am also a propagandist for open-faced-freedom.

Subsequent to my previous post (this one), I will in this post get to learn and document myself as a reckless, zealous proponent of the unadulterated Gospel of freedom …

I will do so open-faced! Anakalyptō!

Exact day of the birth of Christ

Feasts.


Towards the end of each year the season of feasts arrives in many cultures around the world. 


It is inevitable and the highlight for many people each year.


Yet, no one is concerned over its origin and birthplace. 


In a confused world, what are we celebrating?


Look at the feasts of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Muharram, Dasara, Mawlid an Nabi, Christmas, Diwali, Muharram, Ashura, Rohatsu and many others.


They all celebrate something or someone. As a feast-goer we need to get behind the facts if we aim to celebrate well in all the rituals and customs.

Time out!

We have a habit of speaking to God. Me, my wife and our two daughters.

We speak to God on many matters. Even trivial ones, sometimes. And we ask many questions. Even stupid ones, sometimes.


But Abba always answers.


We tend to talk about current matters.


Sometimes we speak to God on pressing matters that lay heavily on our hearts as well.

James and the pirate of the soul

What is this James and pirating all about?

Google “James” and you’ll find the name to mean supercede and replace, it is to displace and override and to remove in its totality.

And pirating is to attempt to attack with a purpose to unjustly profit. It is to rob and plunder which belongs to someone else.

I titled this post “Pirate of the soul” because of something James said in James 1, but I felt that I should remind myself of who exactly James is and what the significance of his name is before getting into the whole pirate thing.


Do we know James?

Defeat your affliction

Over the course of the last week or so my wife and I were again reminded of the rotten thinking of so many sincere Christians, and how we used to and sometimes still think ourselves … sincere, but defeated Christians.

Here is the story


We have heard so many stories of people who plainly accepted sickness and set-back circumstances that they have been struck with, saying that it is a burden they have to carry …


Why?

Passion - pepoithēsis

Driving to the office this morning, I was given one word by the Holy Spirit this morning.

Passion.


Right.


Where to start?


I could google search …


… or use e-Sword


And I did.

Meet John

Earlier this week

Earlier this week I started writing a post on John and Jesus … mostly about Jesus, but also about John.


My blog post was birthed from a place of intimacy reading John 15 and 16. It touched me deeply. I was awakened to the fact that the Gospel of John was different from the others in that John is the disciple who refers to himself as the disciple that Jesus loved. John talks more about life compared to the others that talk about the kingdom (but synonymizing them). John talks more about the cloak of the Spirit Who abides as the Comforter, the Aide-memoire of Jesus instead of the mere spirit referred to by the others.


I started writing on how this is the Gospel where Jesus categorically prepared those who loved Him to what was going to happen to Him, the most significant event ever in HIS-STORY.


The unforeseen


My post was at an advanced stage, and the emotions and precious revelations that came to me spilled out on the screen until the unforeseen happened.
