THE COST OF BETRAYAL
THE COST OF BETRAYAL I honestly was not going to write about this though it had been on my mind for a while. However, this morning, I got the leading that today is the day to talk about it. This is a true story. Kim (not her real name) and Stacy (not her real name) were best of friends. They

THE LORD’S HERITAGE Last Sunday, the 29th September, 2024, we celebrated Heritage Sunday at church. It was such a great time having our children minister to us. It was filled with all kinds of pleasent surprises and I was truly blessed. A heritage is something passed down or handed down from generations before. In scripture we are told that, children

WE CAN START AGAIN. Bade dropped his car keys. He could no longer continue like this. He had done his best to try and keep it together but he was tired of “acting like a man”. How exactly was a man supposed to act anyways? Literally everything had fallen apart around him. His “wife”, (she might as well be someone

GOD MUST BE TRUSTED Sammie, a talented young woman, was on the verge of a break down. She was tired. She did not know what else to do. How could she know so many so called “high flyers” and yet her destiny was about to be truncated. It seemed like nobody was willing to help her. She could not go on

Somewhere along the line she said to me:

There was a cover by Gladys Knight where she said everyone was talking about the Good Old days. Her words had the connotation that everything was better in the past. She made references to warmer winters, greener

CAST YOUR CARES UNTO THE LORD. Mudi hung up the phone. She had just spoken to her house keeper. Prices had gone up; yet again. They were climbing up so fast like it was some kind of competition. How long would this keep happening? She shifted her attention back to the report she was reading and before long her mind

FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE CROSS. I know and I believe that there is no insignificant detail in the bible but honestly I struggle to read through some passages. Is there anyone else who feels that way? Then you are not alone. But there is a solution. Please stay with me. When I get to such passages, what happens is that

LET GOD LIFT YOU UP! As a Yoruba native speaker, I find it exciting to praise and extol Jesus in my native language. So for example we call Jesus “The king who elevates a slave to the position of a prince.” This is the case of Joseph the son of Israel (Jacob). His brothers had envied him because he was

FIRM FOUNDATIONS. 1 Corinthians 3:11 (New International Version) says “11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” There is a Latin phrase – “void ab initio”, which is used to describe something that is defective from the beginning or from its inception. In simple legal terms any agreement or process
