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

PRAISE THE LORD NOW!  As we approach the celebration of the birth of our LORD and Saviour, Jesus Christ, which we refer to as Christmas and as the year 2023 comes to a close, let us take time to thank God.

Jesus was relaxing after dinner and this woman came to Him and began to pour this really expensive ointment on

WORK, STOP COMPLAINING!  These days it is very easy to keep lamenting and complaining about the hard times that have befallen the people of our country Nigeria. But truly we should make every effort not to do this because it has no positive outcome. On some of the social media platforms that I belong to, it is not uncommon within

PLEASE STAY CALM! This morning, I woke up with these words on my lips. “A soft answer turns away wrath.”  I knew this was a bible verse but was not sure where about it was. Before checking it out I promptly picked up my phone and quickly did a voice note to myself about what the Holy Spirit had dropped

TRUST HIM STILL A short while ago, I had a vivid recollection of Baby Dedications in the Anglican Church I used to attend before I got married. So what would happen is that the parents of the child with all their family, friends and well wishers would walk or dance up to the altar. The Priest would then proceed to

PLEASE GIVE! I like to believe that I have always been a giver. Yet I never truly realized the depth of the spiritual activity that is giving, especially when done sacrificially. It does not matter how much or how little we have. We must know and acknowledge that whatever we have comes from God. I was reminded of this when
