Get Ready
Are you ready?
Look around you…
What do you see?
Signs, signals, scenarios
Something is imminent.
The whole earth is in anticipation…
The crust of the earth is cracking.
The birds of the air; they know it.
The fish in the depths of the ocean; they sense it.
Something is happening for sure!
People all around our world feel it in their gut.
There is…..
A heart that has suffered grievous harm is a hurting heart. Hurt in the heart goes far deeper than hurt in the body. The heart and the head are connected and the one feeds of the other. When we are grieved in our spirit, it affects our mind and causes us to brood. Someone who is brooding is not engaging in productive activities because their mind is uneasy.
When you are grieving for a loved one who just lost the…..
In the midst of escalating evils in many countries, people are grouping together for week-long and month-long fasting and prayer. When a land is plagued by overwhelming acts of violence, we should know that the Lord looks at the heart of its people. Out of the heart, all the issues of life spring forth. (Proverbs 4:23)
A proud heart and a haughty spirit will lead to the path of destruction but a humble heart receives its just reward. 2 Chronicles…..
A heart motivated by love is a strong heart that will look at things and situations from a perspective that is higher than human intellect and reasoning. When we follow the way the Lord Jesus Christ lived, we see that He operated on divine principles rather than earthly principles. He came to do the will of the Father (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38). These principles are solid and does not change as the situations change in life. They are based on…..
Today I married my best friend, Today I pledged to stick through thick and thin, Today I sealed a pact witnessed on earth and heaven within, Today I became one flesh with my beloved friend.
Love is not love which alters with the rising tide, Love is not love which falters with the seasons stride, Love is constant and enduring, Love is patient and endearing.
Two friends clasped in holy pride, Two friends committed to a heavenly ride, Two friends…..
How many of us react when things go wrong with the typical, ‘Why, God?’ A friend sent me a YouTube clip on ‘Never say can’t’ that has inspired countless people. It was about a baby abandoned at the hospital because she was born without legs. The couple that rescued her gave her one instruction: ‘Never say can’t.’ She grew up strong and determined and became a successful acrobat.
Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves and asking God ‘why’, we should…..
It is easy to love someone who is loving but a completely different thing to love someone who is unlovely. It requires a special kind of love that looks beyond the acts of meanness and selfishness. The Bible speaks of different kinds of love; love for fellowman, love for one’s brother, love for your parents, love for your spouse, love for your child and love for God.
Our best example was Jesus Christ in the way He demonstrated love towards…..
But God is faithful and just, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and unfailing love. Check out Psalm 145:8; Psalm 86:5; Psalm 103:8.
When we face opposition and we don’t know who is right and who is wrong, who do we turn to? There is only one source that is just and faithful; it is the Sovereign Lord. We need to turn to Him for the answer and the way forward.
The arm of flesh may fail us but…..
Your birthday is something you tend to always remember because it comes up year after year. Actually, it is the anniversary of your birth that you remember. Some people make a great fuss about birthdays and enjoy birthday presents, party and birthday cake. Other people are very low key about it. Some cultures do not even celebrate birthdays. So why the big deal about birthdays? The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27, ‘It is appointed once to a man to die,…..
One of the greatest battles we fight every day is in the area of our mind. For those of us who have suffered setbacks and failures, we know how hard it is to regain confidence. The sad truth is that too many times we allow our failures to define us. Our mind tells us to quit trying; it tells us that we are not good enough. We often buy into that lie and start to doubt ourselves and our abilities.
