PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON JESUS.
PLEASE, CONCENTRATE ON JESUS. A few years ago, a very dear friend of mine who had been married for about eleven years at the time, finally conceived and was delivered of a set of twins. I was so happy for her when I got the news and I called her immediately to rejoice with her and ask her how it

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”.

We were having discussions about the way things were going on globally and we both agreed that we were not going to complain, but rather be more thankful and filled with gratitude for the goodness and mercy of God. 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

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
