Incorporating prayer into a daily routine can be a powerful tool for enhancing spiritual well-being, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Daily prayer encourages self-reflection and growth, helping you become a better version of yourself. Galatians 5:22-23: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

The days have turned to weeks, then to months and now the year is almost over. As the curtain is closing on the year, your feet are getting heavier. The road ahead is getting more treacherous and your strength is waning. Looking back at where you have come from is not an option, there is so much pain, heartache and disappointment back there. A pained wince escapes your mouth when you try to remember what your journey has been like. The last few months have been a world of hurt to you.

Is there something in your life that is troubling you? If yes, have you prayed about it? If not, pause just now and turn your eyes the Lord God and talk to your Father in heaven. If you have but nothing has happened, continue until it does. There are many reasons why you should take every opportunity to pray. We should pray as the darkness of the evil one encloses those who neglect to pray. The whispered temptations of the enemy entice them to sin; and it is all because they do not make use of the privileges that God has given them in the divine appointment of prayer.

Marriage is something that will influence and affect your life both in this world and in the world to come. A sincere Christian will not advance his plans in this direction without the knowledge that God approves his course. He will not want to choose for himself, but will feel that God must choose for him. We are not to please ourselves.

But God sees some way, when miracles are well beyond our view
His Love saves the day, when fear would tell us there is just no use
You can look the whole world over for the meaning of it all
For the purpose that mankind has always sought
In the end you'll discover, there is no other answer
But God

The children of God are not left alone and defenseless. Prayer moves the arm of Omnipotence. Prayer has "subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire" --we shall know what it means when we hear the reports of the martyrs who died for their faith--"turneth to flight the armies of the aliens." Heb. 11:33, 34.

Have you ever thrown a stone into a river, lake or ocean? If yes, then you know that once the stone hits the water it causes ripples that grow bigger and bigger as they move further away from the point the stone hit the water.  Are you aware that just like the stone you are hitting your family tree and causing ripples?

We are to keep close to the side of Christ, walking in the path of self-denial and sacrifice. We are in an enemy's country. He who was cast out of heaven has come down with great power. With every conceivable artifice and device he is seeking to take souls captive. Unless we are constantly on guard we shall fall an easy prey to his unnumbered deceptions.

“I Love You!” How special are those words between two people! But even more wonderful they become when spoken to us by our saviour who wants us to be happy and find joy in our relationship with each other.True love is not merely a sentiment or an emotion. It is a living principle, a principle that is manifest in action. True love is a high and holy principle, altogether different in character from that love which is awakened by impulse and which suddenly dies when severely tested.

Begin this year with right purposes and pure motives. Bear in mind that day by day your words and acts are recorded in the books of heaven. You must meet them when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be opened. If we connect with God, the source of peace, and light, and truth, His Spirit will flow through us, to refresh and bless all around us. This year may be our last year of life. Shall we not enter upon it with thoughtful consideration?

God didn’t give us a precise, step-by-step manual for conducting our relationships, but He did give us principles. God’s principles preserve it in its most artful and exhilarating form. “He requires us to perform only those duties that will lead our steps to heights of bliss to which the disobedient can never attain”

It's natural to look back on our lives and think, "I wish I had known that back then." But this can sometimes lead to a strong sense of regret, a situation where we convince ourselves that we've somehow wasted our lives up until then. If you can break the cycle of feeding, turn inward, and face yourself courageously then you'll be able to overcome this insecurity. It's your life that's at stake- you don't want to look back in another 20 years and have even more regret, do you?

You may be looking for a start fresh. To start a new. To start again. Do something different. Change. With any new start we inevitably must undergo a transition. Transition is defined as “a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another.” The important word to highlight here is movement.

When God scans the earth for potential leaders, He is not on a search for angels in the flesh. He is certainly not looking for perfect people, since there are none. He is searching for men and women like you and me, mere people made up of flesh. But He is also looking for people who share the same qualities He found in David. God is looking for men and women “after His own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14).

We are living in a masked world, and I am not only talking about the physical masks all are required to wear everywhere. Currently with the facial masks the covering of the nose and mouth, faces become more difficult to recognize and decipher. Now partially hidden faces will obscure those features that we rely on to convey mood and emotion. In the world today we are all masked in one way or another. Masks serve as protection against an environment perceived as threatening and dangerous.

This is the last week of the month of New Year. I should have uploaded my first podcast already but I decided things would be done differently this year. Instead of running off with everyone else when the year kicked in, I found myself holding back at the starting line. I wondered where I was going anyway, what was the rat race all about anyway? What if i waited a little longer for my gun to go off? I hadn't really had it go "bang", so why was I about to run off? Here I am waiting.

As we prepare to usher in 2021, it is important to note that power changes hands at the gate, how you position yourself at the gate determines how your year will pan out. Very important to note are two things: one is make sure Jesus is in driver's seat of your life & ALL sins MUST go including all cherished SINS. At the gates of the city, important decisions and verdicts were handed down. Controversies were settled there. Financial transactions were sealed there. Honour was bestowed at the gate. Blessings were pronounced at the gate… and curses were issued as punishment for offences at the gate.

We are now in the last month of the year. Eleven months are behind us, and we are tapering towards the close of the year 2020. No matter how your year has been, as you prepare to bid goodbye to this very unique year, think about taking time to count your blessings. The reference in giving thanks is 'Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34. Theodore Roosevelt's quote "“Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.”

Seasons are very important elements in our lives. In areas between the polar and tropical regions, daylength, temperature, and rainfall change through the year. These changes give rise to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. These four periods of the year can mirror the different seasons of our lives. Seasonal changes affect how we live and what we wear. To survive these seasons we need to adapt to these changes. As the seasons change we are awakened to the impermanence of life and we realize the importance of embracing the present. I love the verse Psalms 90:12 " Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

A traumatic event is defined as one that poses a threat of serious injury or death to oneself or others, and elicits feelings of intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Traumatic events are by their nature unexpected and uncontrollable. Traumatic events are by their nature unexpected and uncontrollable.  Post Traumatic Growth involves the development of new knowledge, abilities, relationships or hope and confidence following a traumatic stressor in addition to recovering successfully from acute stress reactions. Religion and spirituality may play an important and complex role in the relationship between post traumatic growth and forgiveness. The personal importance of religion has been shown to mediate the relationship between forgiveness and post traumatic growth (Schultz et al., 2010) and forgiveness interventions have facilitated post traumatic growth in religion and spirituality (Luskin, Ginzburg, & Thoresen, 2005; Rye & Pargament, 2002).

Our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon the believer. He considers the circumstances and the strength of the one who is to stand under the proving and test of God, and He never permits the temptations to be greater than the capacity of resistance. I It is obstacles that make men strong. It is . . . difficulties, conflicts, rebuffs, that make men of moral sinew. Too much ease and avoiding responsibility have made weaklings and dwarfs of those who ought to be responsible men of moral power and strong spiritual muscle. We are too quickly discouraged, and earnestly cry for the trial to be removed from us, when we should plead for patience to endure and grace to overcome.

Join me as I engage with Beryl as she narrates her encounters with toxic relationships.   Quoting from the Blog Post of Nicole Greene posted October 22, 2017. "Every romantic relationship is different. But there’s one thing all women should know doesn’t belong in a relationship: ABUSE, whether physical or emotional. Sometimes abuse is disguised as or confused with love. But it’s not. No one has the right to hurt you, control you, or make you feel afraid — even if they say they do it because they love you."

Abuse in all its forms is an important topic to focus on because many children of God globally are either dying or suffering negative consequences for their health and well-being as a result of violence and abuse. Christian's need to speak out because we are God’s hands and feet in this world and we represent His love and healing power. The bible says “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble” (I Peter 3:8, NIV). Violence impacts everyone women, children and men.

In Luke 11:1 Jesus is praying. Watching from a distance are his disciples. With the prayer done one of them asks him "Lord, teach us to pray." I am trying to imagine what kind of prayer he said. Each word seemed to open the heavens. The prayer moved them into the very presence of the unseen God. The desire to learn to give such a prayer prompted the request. Teach us to pray!

During this covid 19 season the number of rape cases have spiked in several countries.  My daughter joins me as we go through the story of Dinah in the book of Genesis 34.  God allowed the story to be placed in the bible to reveal to us that he can see everything that happens to his children good or bad.  He is there and he will judge every act of evil upon his beloved children. Here is a call for all who have been defiled to rise up and overcome all the pain and anguish to the joy that comes from the hand of our loving Father.

During this time when the whole world is affected by the Covid-19 the times are uncertain; the death toll is high and the number of new infections are rising each day. In this Christian Podcast we look at lessons from the live of Gideon in Judges chapter 6 and the key verse is 13 which according to NIV version says:
13 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.”

Has the Lord abandoned us, is he here? and if he is why is there so much loss of life, sickness, anxiety and fear? Join us and lets unwrap the lessons for this difficult season.

The curtain falls on the life of the strongest man that ever lived.  In the arena with his enemies who want to make him a spectacle as they celebrate, in sacrificing to their god Dagon for delivering their enemy(Samson) into their hands. 

Samson gets one more chance to do that which he had not been able to do since he was imprisoned, after the lovely Delilah betrayed him. In shackles and blind - spending his days grinding in the philistine prison; Samson comes to himself and takes this one chance to kill more philistines than ever did before, he too died with them.

Meet the God of second chances at the healside - he will give you a second chance if you cry out to him for mercy as Samson did in total surrender. Remember a broken and a contrite heart he will never turn away. There is hope in your darkness and despondency - a hand is waiting to lead you into abundant life - go on take it.
