DOW Articles

‘Dancing on Water – Living Above Life’s Circumstances’ is a collection of short faith-inspiring articles that are born from Bill Joukhadar’s 40+ years journey with God. These ‘life-tested’ articles are intended to inspire existing believers to live 100% of their lives, publicly and unashamedly by faith, in honour of God. They are also intended to interest possible newcomers to take a closer look at Christ and the Christian faith.

    No Matter What … Don’t Quit!

    “What, what would have become of me had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living” (Ps. 27:13 Amp.) Beloved, can you imagine what life would be like without faith in God? It would be messier than it is now! The devil would have his way and Read more

  • Blessed are the merciful: Part I

    Blessed are the merciful: Part I

    There’s much of God’s word I am yet to understand, and so, my mind remains open to the Spirit revealing to me new truths that are yet to be discovered. There’s a parable in the Book of Matthew that had me scratching my head for quite some time until recently. Intending for His listeners to learn Read more

  • The Demise of G. Ratitude

    The Demise of G. Ratitude

    At the beginning of time, G. Ratitude was commissioned by God to play an important part in the world through being a positive influencer of the quality of interpersonal relationships. It saddens me to say that G. Ratitude is almost no-longer with us… ignored by many… remembered only by a few old-schoolers like me. The self-centred, Read more

  • Self-disciplined Training

    Self-disciplined Training

    At the age of eleven my physical profile was short, weak, and chubby. I remember clearly the day the sports master of the Rainbow Street Primary School (Sydney) approached me in the playground and asked if I would like to play on the school’s rugby football team!

    Introducing: Gordon Simmul

    Gordon says, “I grew up in a churched family but didn’t really walk too close to the Lord Jesus. I gave Him lots of lists of things He could do for me, but didn’t ask what I could do in service for Him. I have always been a bit of a ‘journaler,’ writing travel diaries Read more

  • Faith Can Rejoice!

    Faith Can Rejoice!

    “My friends, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure” (Jam.1:2-3 GNT)  Beloved, in this concluding part, I would like to share with you what will keep you going so that you can Read more

  • Spirit Man

    Spirit Man

    I want you to know how loved, how accepted you are with, and in all, your complexity. You worry about your age and how long it’s taking you (to grow and mature in Me), but you know in Me there is no age. I know your age, but I don’t see your age. I see Read more

  • Dealing with Rejection

    Dealing with Rejection

    We can read every book that has been written on the subject of ‘rejection’ and still not understand its meaning until we have tasted it. In my early childhood I held the belief that ‘sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.’ However, my experience of rejection over a number of Read more
