EXODUS 12:37-42; PSALM 136; MATTHEW 12:14-21 In the Gospel, Jesus had to withdraw from a particular region because of the plot of the Pharisees against him. This is a right application of wisdom. He did not leave that territory because he was weak. Faith is good; anointing is good; skill is good but wisdom is […]

EXODUS 11:10-12:14; PSALM 116; MATTHEW 12:1-8 The first reading speaks of the “the institution of the Passover”. This celebration commemorates the Hebrews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt and the “passing over” of the forces of destruction, or the sparing of the firstborn of the Israelites, when the Lord “smote the land of Egypt” on […]

EXODUS 3:13-20; PSALM 105; MATTHEW 11:28-30 “God reveals his name to Moses” A person’s name conveys so much respect and importance among the Jews. So, Moses made a request and the Lord answered saying “I Am who Am,” – Yahweh. The name Yahweh is a perpetual testimony to God’s faithfulness to his promises. Thus […]

EXODUS 3:1-6, 9-12; PSALM 103; MATTHEW 11:25-27 The first reading recounts the event of the burning bush. The burning bush represents many things to the Jews and Christians; such as God’s miraculous energy, sacred light, illumination, the burning heart of purity, love and clarity. From a human standpoint, it represents Moses’ reverence and fear before the divine presence. From […]

Honestly, if there’s anything that would give the devil candidates on the Last Day, then, it must be our superman outlook to things of religion. The attached video shows a pastor “prophesying” a winner in a game that was purely organised for fun. I find it very disturbing because in the first place, there […]

EXODUS 2:1-15; PSALM 69; MATTHEW 11:20-24 Jesus says “It will not go as hard with Sodom on Judgement Day as with you.“ With these words Jesus lamented over Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum in the gospel. After all their spiritual experiences they remained faithless. Despite all the miracles they refused to amend their ways. Christians today […]

Exodus 1:8-14, 22: Psalm 123; Matthew 10:34-11 In the gospel Jesus gave us the criteria for worthy discipleship. Firstly, we must love Jesus more than, parents and children. He says “He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me […]

GENESIS 49:29-33, 50:15-26; PSALM 105; MATTHEW 10:24-38 In the first reading Joseph said to his brothers “God has turned the evil you planned into good”. The story of Joseph reflects the crisis in most families; envy, hatred, and devilish attack. Joseph was a just man and so the Lord preserved him. Psalm 34:19 says “Many […]
