  Good Friday Reflection 2026: Focusing on the Power of Overcoming This Good Friday, I found myself reflecting deeply on the power of overcoming. My thoughts were sparked by a documentary, where a woman shared that in one of her encounters, she felt what she believed was the  Spirit in the room. That statement stayed with me, and I began to question and reflect. Through self-discussion, I came to a personal conclusion:   The Holy Spirit is not confused. He is consistent. He does not move differently for different people—He moves according to the nature of God.    This led me to reflect on two key biblical moments.   First, the story of the woman caught in adultery. The men who brought her to Jesus were not simply seeking justice—they were testing authority. They could have judged her themselves, but instead they brought her to Jesus to challenge Him. "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." In that moment, He shifted the focus from accusation...

 

Part 2 of the Lessons Learned from Abraham’s Story   Dear readers, welcome back to part two of my blog on Abraham’s journey of faith according to the book of Genesis, chapters 12 to 13. In the previous reflection on these lessons learned, I pointed out that wherever Abraham stayed, he raised an altar for God. I advised that we must reflect on this to consider its importance. This is because it is a form of inviting God into our homes and hearts to support us in building our relationship with Him and to feel His presence. For this reflection, I would like to continue with Abraham's story and the lessons learned by once again inviting you to pause and take into account what each storyline may be teaching us.   Famine in the Land of Canaan   When working on God’s purpose, you must do the work yourself or at least participate in it. Famine came upon the land of Canaan, and based on what is written, Abraham didn’t ask for manna from heaven but took a practical step to move wit...

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Welcome back to my blog. I hope you are well. In today’s post, we will explore what it means to remain in faith even when we sin—regardless of whether the sin is considered small or great, venial or mortal. Before we continue, it’s important to break down what sin is and how it affects our faith. Understanding Sin and Its Impact on Faith Sin is a violation of God’s command and will. When we transgress against others or ourselves, we ultimately transgress against God. As the book of Job advises, sinning against others is also a sin against God. You might ask:  How does sin affect God? God’s laws and order are divine and intended to help us live harmoniously and prosper. When we sin, we break these laws and harm others—and because the laws are divine, we also sin against God. Think of it like a government system. Leaders, such as a prime minister or judges, pass laws to imp...
