Bible Insights By Molly Nzomo

By molly. Some are dancing on the mountaintop. Some are climbing—scarred but rising, step by step. But maybe you… you’re in the valley. Not the poetic valley—the real one. The one where prayers go unanswered. The one where loss lingers longer than it should. The one where you’re angry at God… or just don’t feel Him at all anymore. And if that’s where you are, please hear this: You are not alone. The valley is not a punishment. It’s not proof of failure. It’s not a detour from the journey—it’s part of it. David, the man after God’s heart, wrote “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...” (Psalm 23:4). But do you know what he said just one chapter before? “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1) Even Jesus echoed those same words on the cross. So if you're feeling forgotten, forsaken, frustrated—that cry doesn’t disqualify you. It aligns you with the saints. With the Son. God is in the Valley Elijah sat ...

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders… and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…” – Hebrews 12:1–2 (NIV) THE MOUNTAIN ISN’T THE END There are moments in our spiritual journey when we feel heaven open—when God speaks clearly, powerfully, and personally. The “mountain” moments. Divine encounters. Upper Room experiences. But let us remember: the mountain is not the finish line—it’s the launching point . It’s not about what we see up there ; it’s about how we live down here . Will we come down carrying the glory? Or will we fall into the very traps God warned us about? MANY TOUCHED GLORY… BUT FELL NOAH: FROM FAVOR TO FOLLY Genesis 9:20–25 Noah, a righteous man saved from the flood, lost focus after his greatest victory. Drunkenness led to dishonor, and a generational curse followed. Don’t let relief turn into recklessness. Victory without vigilance leads...

By molly Climbing the Spiritual Mountain: Part 2 — The Walk with Jesus Before the Upper Room “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” — Matthew 4:19 Before the Upper Room ever echoed with prayer and power, the disciples had already been climbing. Their journey began the moment they heard Jesus call them to follow—and it demanded everything. They walked away from comfort, careers, and certainty. But their climb wasn’t without resistance. The Cost of Following Many were called. But few kept climbing. A rich young ruler came with a desire to follow Jesus. But when Jesus told him to sell all he had and give to the poor, “he went away sorrowful” (Matthew 19:21–22). He wanted Jesus—but not enough to sacrifice. Another said, “Lord, I will follow you, but first let me go and bury my father.” But Jesus replied, “Let the dead bury their own dead” (Luke 9:59–60). The call required leaving even family behind. Following Jesus meant placing the Kingdom above ever...

By molly The spiritual mountain is not climbed with physical feet, but with surrender, devotion, and divine empowerment. The journey of the disciples in Acts 1–2, especially their time in the Upper Room, mirrors a path every believer must take. Think of it as a pyramid—each level represents a stage of growth, drawing us closer to God's heart and purpose. 1. Salvation – The Foundation of New Life The climb begins with salvation. We step out of darkness and into the light by believing in Jesus. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9) "By grace you have been saved through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God..." (Ephesians 2:8–9) This is not the summit—it...

By molly In Scripture, mountains are places of divine encounter—places where heaven meets earth, and mortals are changed forever. From Moses at Sinai to Elijah at Horeb, from Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration to the disciples in the Upper Room, these elevated places mark moments of revelation, empowerment, and commissioning. The Upper Room in Acts 1 and 2 wasn’t just a room—it was a mountain in the Spirit. And what happened there reveals a pattern for every disciple willing to climb. 1. The Mountain of Separation: Leaving the Familiar Before Pentecost, before the fire and wind, the disciples were told one thing: wait . "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised…" (Acts 1:4) This command was a call to separation . Not geographical distance, but a separation from self-effort, fear, and distraction. Like Moses ascending Sinai, the disciples had to step away from the crowd. The Upper Room became their mountain—a quiet, hidden place above the noi...

By Molly What happens when we climb the mountain of intimacy with God? These three biblical lives reveal a realm where natural laws bow to divine presence. Have you ever felt the pull to go higher in your walk with God—to climb the unseen mountain where divine mysteries are revealed and earthly limits begin to fade? The Bible gives us glimpses of what happens when ordinary men step into extraordinary intimacy with God. Three men—Enoch, Elijah, and Philip—each experienced something mind-bending: they were taken , caught up , or transported by the Spirit. But these moments weren’t magic tricks or isolated miracles. They were the fruit of a life lived on the spiritual mountain . Let’s explore how their lives echo a call to all of us—a call to ascend. Enoch: The Man Who Walked Out of This World "Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." —Genesis 5:24 Enoch didn’t build an ark, call down fire, or part the sea. His legacy was simpl...

 By Molly. Most people think of spiritual growth as a loud ascent—filled with visible signs, great achievements, or passionate declarations. But what if the highest peaks of spiritual intimacy are climbed in silence, through stillness, tears, and quiet surrender? Mary of Bethany shows us what it means to climb the spiritual mountain—not with our hands full of offerings, but with our hearts laid bare. Step One: Leaving the Valley of Distraction When Jesus visited Mary and Martha’s home, it was Martha who bustled about, making sure everything was perfect. Mary, on the other hand, simply sat at Jesus’ feet, listening. In a world that praises productivity, Mary chose presence. In a home filled with activity, she chose stillness. “Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:42 The first step up the mountain is not about doing more—it’s about being with Him. It’s learning to silence the noise and prioritize communion over performance. He...

By Molly Nzomo Key Text: Isaiah 11:2 (NKJV) “The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.” Introduction Isaiah 11:2 gives us a prophetic glimpse of the Messiah filled with the Spirit of God in sevenfold expression . Not seven different spirits—but one Holy Spirit revealed in seven radiant dimensions . Jesus walked in this fullness, and through Him, so can we. To help us grasp this mystery, God has given us a beautiful natural metaphor: light passing through a prism . One Spirit, Seven Expressions: The Prism Analogy When pure light passes through a prism , it separates into seven visible colors . It’s still one light, but its inner brilliance is revealed in full. God is light (1 John 1:5). Jesus is the prism —through whom the fullness of God was made visible. The Holy Spirit is that divine light now shining through us. When the Spirit of G...

  Posted by MOLLY NZOMO | 19/04/2025 “This is My beloved Son… listen to Him.” — Matthew 17:5 The story of the Transfiguration is one of the most awe-inspiring and mysterious moments in the New Testament. Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain—and there, His divine glory is revealed. His face shines like the sun, His clothes become white as light, and standing beside Him are Moses and Elijah. But this is more than a supernatural event in Scripture—it’s an invitation to every believer. The Mountain Is a Place of Encounter Mountains in the Bible are sacred spaces—places where heaven touches earth. Like Moses on Sinai or Elijah on Carmel, the mountain is a place of divine encounter. Jesus invites us to leave behind distractions, routines, and noise to step into His presence. But will we go? Climbing takes effort. It’s inconvenient. It’s not popular. But it’s on the mountain that God reveals His glory. Glory Revealed to the Seekers Only three disciples witnessed the...
