HAVE YOU PRAYED? Ella was upset again! It was the third time this morning. What was going on? What had happened to the fruit of the Spirit of self control? This was not looking good at all. And she knew she had to do something very quickly before she had a full blown melt down. She tried to get into

LET THE SHEPHERD LEAD Jibola made a decision some time ago that nothing will ever again have the power to distract him from JESUS. Absolutely NOTHING. He had gotten into a classic mess of being busy getting dizzy doing nothing. One night he got home exhausted and his daughter asked him “Dad, what is the matter? What happened. You look

GOD IS WITH US! A HAPPY AND BLESSED YEAR 2026 TO US ALL!  In all things we are grateful and thankful. It is the start of another calender year and we mostly always celebrate it. I pray that we will always have reasons to celebrate in this new year. While preparing to write this article a hymn came to mind

AT THE END OF THE DAY.  My son and I have had a nightly routine from since he was a baby. We call it mama time. First we do bathtime, then we sing a song “At the end of the day”, we say our prayers, do a bed time story, then I sing a lullaby, and he is fast asleep

WE MUST ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER. I once bought a book titled Encouragement changes Everything; by John C. Maxwell. I bought this book mainly because of the title. I was in agreement with the author. We all need to be encouraged every step of our journey through life. Right from school, we were getting bright stars for being exceptional or black

HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR JESUS. Lately, I have been focusing on telling God, the Father, how much I am grateful for Jesus. Parents love it when people tell them how cute, bright, smart and intelligent their children are. It makes them feel so proud and it even endears the person to them somewhat. Now imagine telling God about all

THE MIGHTY GOD WHO LOVES ME. IT WAS RAINING. Not a heavy downpour but rain none the less. As I listened to the pitter patter of the rain, I sat down and opened my bible randomly, though I was searching for a particular scripture. But instead of turning the pages to where I was going, I decided to see what

ABBA’S SIGNATURE ( PART 2) Last week, we talked about ABBA’S SIGNATURE and we said it was His character traits that were evident in our lives, His compassion, faithfulness, goodness, grace, kindness, love and His mercy.  This week I want us to see another side of the coin that is ABBA’S SIGNATURE. As I was still meditating on the topic,

ABBA’S SIGNATURE  Banke got out of bed like she always did and immediately knelt down on that (flattened) throw pillow beside her bed. Years of kneeling on it had made it flat but she was so used to it she hardly noticed how flat it had become. That morning she decided to put away all anxiety and focus on God’s
