Today is a public holiday in Sweden to commemorate the Ascension Day. For all those that don’t know what that really means, it’s the day when Jesus ascended into heaven; 40days after His resurrection from the dead. I find it remarkable at how Sweden is careful to observe most of the important Christian events some of which I…
What an amazing Easter period we have had at Smyrna Church. It was also remarkable to see all the people who came out to use their talents and gifts in putting together three plays which captured the life changing episode around Jesus’ resurrection. This event was re-told in three different languages of Persian, English and Swedish and…
One of the most powerful statements in the Bible reveals the reason that God came into the world; because He loved us (the world). The coming of Jesus Christ is connected to others (saving us from perishing) and is motivated by love. Moreover, as Jesus Christ walked on the earth, He was moved with compassion as…
How do you keep fit? I heard the other day that someone from our church spent an hour on the living-room floor recovering because he had worked too hard in the gym! As I’ve reflected on how to keep fit this is what I have discovered – – calorie counting and exercise are important but…

Yesterday was an emotional one for me as the breaking news of the passing away of Dr. Myles Munroe was broadcast. It was such a shocker and the worst wake up message i’ve heard in a long time. I didn’t want to go to work as I felt the need to just spend time in prayer,…
Last week on Sunday, I woke up in the middle of the night perturbed by a dream. This got me in conversation with God in the wee hours of the night, weeping, questioning and listening to His voice and then I fell back to sleep. However, when I woke up Monday morning, the Spirit led me…
This month’s women’s meeting was inspiring as we focused on faith and what it means to each one of us, as Christians. It was lovely to listen to the different experiences and expressions of faith in the lives of each woman who was present. (If you desire some fellowship with other women, welcome to our…
My slot was finally here and I got my way up the steep hill and into the prayer house, well aware that 144hours of nonstop prayer had already been offered in this very room. Immediately, the HolySpirit led me into a deep worship where I was in the sweet presence of God and that my…
