GOD IS A GIVER! My son’s school engages in an annual practice. They celebrate 14th February every year as “Friendship Day” and they take gifts to the orphanage. The first time this happened I was so touched. What a way for the children to celebrate “Valentines Day”, I thought. Valentines Day seems to have taken on a meaning that includes

THE GREATEST OF THESE. Hurray! It’s the month of love. I find it interesting and also odd that popular culture has limited Valentine’s Day to a day for romantic love. It may be historical or it may be just to commodify the day more. I know that there is more to love than romantic love (Eros love). The entire bible

GOD IS CARRYING US One of my greatest joys is being the mother of an absolutely amazing son. It is a privilege and a gift from God that I do not take for granted. And though there is more than fifty years between us, he could not have come at a better time. (I never thought I would say that).

LET THE HOUSE STAND One thing that makes me sad is when siblings or members of a family are at war with each other. There are stories about siblings that have fought each other to the point where all that their beloved parents worked for and left behind for them has been left to waste away while they are busy

THE HARVEST WILL SURELY COME Late in 2021, I ventured into a gardening business. You see I am a plant lover and I love my green spaces so it was not that big of a deal for me. When I bought my first set of fruit trees my mentor told me it would take about two rains for the trees

After two return journeys to Israel, by the exiles who had been taken captive to Babylon, Nehemiah was still

GET UP! STAND UP! A few days ago, I was suddenly reminded of a song. Well not the entire song as I have no idea what that sounds like, but it was the chorus that kept coming to my mind. This is not a song that I have ever gone out of my way to play or to listen to.

NEW MERCIES FOR A NEW DAY Happy New Year to one and all!  I pray it will be a truly blessed year for us all. Something struck me recently : and that is the fact that many people love new beginnings. It is an opportunity to start afresh with the advantage of hindsight of mistakes and wrong choices. And God

OUR GOD IS A GENEROUS GOD  Nobody really wants to befriend or be around stingy or miserly people. In my part of the world, Nigeria, as a whole and particularly in the south western part, all kinds of not very nice terms are used to describe people that are perceived to be miserly in nature. But a generous and open

GOD IS WITH US – EMMANUEL So 2023 is finally coming to an end; and I pray that every thing unpleasant we passed through this year is coming to an end too. Amen. As always, I bring you a word of encouragement today. I know beyond any doubt that somebody will read this and be transformed. So much happened to
