Key Tips for Success Consistency Over Perfection: If you miss a day, don’t give up. Use the lighter weekends to catch up. Break It Down: Split the daily chapters into smaller portions (e.g., morning and evening readings). Use Audio Bibles: If you're too tired to read, listen to the chapters while driving, cooking, or relaxing. Journal Your Journey: Note one insight or question per day to deepen understanding and engagement. Accountability Groups: Form a small Bible study group to stay motivated and share reflections. - Week 1 (Jan 1–7):   Mon: Genesis 1–4     Tue: Genesis 5–8     Wed: Genesis 9–12     Thu: Genesis 13–16     Fri: Genesis 17–20     Sat: Genesis 21–22     Sun: Genesis 23–24   - Week 2 (Jan 8–14):   Mon: Genesis 25–28     Tue: Genesis 29–32     Wed: Genesis 33–36     Thu: Genesis 37–40     Fri: Genesis 41–4...

2025: The Clarion Call

Image
The new year is upon us, and as believers, it’s time to realign and make first things first. Paul’s charge to Timothy echoes loud and clear in my heart:   " Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth " (2 Timothy 2:15).   This wasn't and isn’t a suggestion—it’s a divine call. We are workers in God’s kingdom, we're His hands, feet, and voice in this generation. As ministers of reconciliation, this is why we gather in different fellowships to be equipped for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:12).   So, here’s my apostolic charge to you as we step into 2025:   - Be Approved Unto God . Before seeking validation from men, seek approval from the One who called you.   - Avoid Shame . A minister ignorant of the Word will falter. Know whom and why you believe.   - Rightly Divide the Word of Truth . Study Scripture diligently. Meditate on it day and night, letting i...

How One Man’s Defiance Made Reading the Bible a Blessing for All.

Image
Earlier this year, a friend told me to try and read the Bible like a Jew. I am from the Kamba nation, and so this called for a shift in my mindset. Reading through the Torah helped greatly with that, as I got immersed in the Jewish culture, customs, and their conundrums (which, by the way, means a confusing or difficult problem—but that’s a conversation for another day).   You see, he said, the Bible was written by Jews and primarily targeted Jews at first. Jewish influence is woven throughout its pages, and understanding their perspective can greatly enhance how we experience it.   Take this sentence, for example:   "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." On the surface, this may not scream "Jewish!"—but dig deeper, and you'll see it. Back in the day, Jewish gatherings revolved around two key spaces: the temple and the synagogue. Th...

God Created, Satan Corrupted, Jesus will Correct it.

Once upon eternity, there was a groom—perfect, loving, and full of grace—who made His move to bring His bride into His glorious home. Their relationship was unlike any other, filled with intimacy and trust. The groom, being generous, gave the bride everything she needed and more—a garden paradise to enjoy and dominion over creation. It was beautiful, perfect, and exactly as the groom intended.   But trouble was brewing. A rival of the groom, a crafty deceiver, approached the bride with smooth words and enticing promises. The bride, naive to the cunning schemes of this intruder, fell for his lies. She cheated on her groom, breaking the sacred trust they shared. The betrayal was devastating, and the groom—holy and just—had no choice but to draw a hard line. The bride was asked to leave their home, forced to fend for herself in a harsh, broken world.   Yet, even in His anger, the groom’s love for His bride remained. He longed to see her restored. So, instead of abandoni...

The Book of Revelation.

Image
The Book of Revelation is more than just a fascinating read; it’s a divine masterpiece. Here are some reasons why this document stands out in the New Testimonies:   1. The Promise of a Blessing Revelation is the only book in the Bible that promises a blessing simply for reading, hearing, and keeping its words (Revelation 1:3).  2. Purely Divine Authorship Unlike other books in the New Testimonies, Revelation was written entirely under God’s direction, with no trace of human will or interpretation (Revelation 1:1-2). It’s a direct line from God to His people with no edits allowed. 3.  A Witness to History It was penned by John, the last surviving disciple of Jesus among the original twelve, making it a firsthand account from someone who walked closely with Jesus and so he trusted him enough to send the angel to him.   4. A Serious Warning This is the only book that comes with a stern warning: anyone who adds to or takes away from its words will face divine c...

This Year in Review: Tales, Trials, and Triumphs.

Image
Now that I was born on December 18th, my year starts on December 21st. Just like Jesus, it took me 3 days to load 😀. This year was good. I must say, very good. As the sages say, "A day above ground is a good day." Well, I’ve been above ground the whole year ! That's 365 days of unbothered breathing—achievement unlocked.   On Bible Reading: This year, more than 60 people signed up to read the Bible. Out of those, 22 said, "Let’s do this seriously," and guess what? We did! We cracked open the Word, answered questions, and wrestled through some tough books. Genesis? Check. Revelation? We're there. If reading the Bible were a marathon, we’d be dripping in medals right now.💪🏽 On Fellowship: A fellowship started this year, and guess who got asked to lead it? Yours truly! No pressure, right? In that fellowship, we powered through 11 books of the Bible. Some people walked in looking like Moses after the burning bush moment—confused but curious. By the end, the Wo...

The Book of Jude (Yudah).

Image
Before you crack this tiny but mighty letter open, let me warn you: it's not for the faint-hearted or the casually curious. This message is reserved for those who know they are called by God, believe they are loved by the Father, and cling to the hope of being kept for Yeshua, the Messiah's glorious return. If that's you, welcome aboard. If not? Well, take a moment to consider why the writer was so clear about his target audience.   Who is the writer, anyway? Great question. He humbly introduces himself as Jude, the brother of Yakov (James), but what he doesn’t boast about is that he’s also a stepbrother to Yeshua. Yep, he grew up in the same house with Jesus—maybe shared a room, clothes, shoes, and even a bed at some point in their lives. And why "Jude"? Well, blame history and a little PR—Judas Iscariot ruined the name for everyone, so believers shortened it to avoid unwanted associations. To this day, you won't find Jewish or neighborhood kids named Judas. ...
