Moses was one of the greatest characters in the old testament of the Bible. He was born during the captivity of the Jews in Egypt. At a time when the Pharaoh had ordered for the killing of every infant Jewish male to reduce the rising population of the Hebrews. God spared his life through his parents and he found himself in the house of Pharaoh, and became a prince. Though a prince in the royal family of Egypt, with all the rights and rights and privileges attached to it, he knew he did not belong there (Hebrews 11 vs 23-27). As a result of this, he slew an Egyptian in defence of an Hebrew. This made him flee to Midian to save his life when this act of his came to light. It was in Midian that he met with God in Mount Horeb. He was chosen by God to be the vessel He would use to deliver His people (the Israelites from Egypt. And with Moses, assisted by Aaron his brother, God brought the Israelites out of Egypt with a strong and mighty hand. Moses was used by God to lead the chil...

Picture a scenario where your pastor summons you to the church office after a great Sunday service with bottles of different brands of beer on his desk. You may be bewildered as to why there are bottles of liquor on the desk of a supposed man of God's office.

HERO OF FAITH FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH

Rahab's inclusion into the faith Hall of fame in Hebrews 11 may look surprising to some, possibly due to the fact that she was an harlot and was not an Israelite. Her hospitality made her earn the inclusion.  She hailed from Jericho, and dwelt as an harlot, in an apartment, upon the impregnable walls of the city, which was soon to be brought down by the almighty God. From that land, she heard of the Lord Almighty, and how He made a way through the red sea for His elect nation(Israel), whom He had brought out of captivity in Egypt and delivered the kings of the Amorites into their hands, giving them their land to inherit. She believed and acknowledged this God, and risked her life for His servant's (Joshua) men. When they came to spy the land she received them in peace (Hebrews 11 vs 31) and hid them from the King of Jericho. This brave action of hers not only spared her life and the lives of her family when the walls fell down and the city was taken over by Joshua an...
