The children of God are not left alone and defenseless. Prayer moves the arm of Omnipotence. Prayer has "subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire" --we shall know what it means when we hear the reports of the martyrs who died for their faith--"turneth to flight the armies of the aliens." Heb. 11:33, 34. The Spirit says come....

Have you ever thrown a stone into a river, lake or ocean? If yes, then you know that once the stone hits the water it causes ripples that grow bigger and bigger as they move further away from the point the stone hit the water.  Are you aware that just like the stone you are hitting your family tree and causing ripples?The Spirit says come....

Fanny Jane Cosby one of my favorite hymn writers wrote the song "Some day the silver cord will break.: It really got me thinking about the certainty of that one day we never dare talk about.The Spirit says come....

We are to keep close to the side of Christ, walking in the path of self-denial and sacrifice. We are in an enemy's country. He who was cast out of heaven has come down with great power. With every conceivable artifice and device he is seeking to take souls captive. Unless we are constantly on guard we shall fall an easy prey to his unnumbered deceptions. 

 Letting go of a bad relationship can be complicated. Here are 10 Breakup Principles for Christian Relaitionships.

 Prayer and praise are the oars by which a man may row his boat into the deep waters of the knowledge of Christ.  Charles Spurgeon

 2 Samuel 6: 14- 15 says "And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet." 

Testing time comes to all men! Proverbs 24:10  Proverbs 24:10 "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." 

 If our minds are fixed upon the things that are eternal, and not on the things of earth, we shall grasp the hand of infinite power, and what can make us sad? . 

 “I Love You!” How special are those words between two people! But even more wonderful they become when spoken to us by our saviour who wants us to be happy and find joy in our relationship with each other.True love is not merely a sentiment or an emotion. It is a living principle, a principle that is manifest in action. True love is a high and holy principle, altogether different in character from that love which is awakened by impulse and which suddenly dies when severely tested. 

Begin this year with right purposes and pure motives. Bear in mind that day by day your words and acts are recorded in the books of heaven. You must meet them when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be opened. If we connect with God, the source of peace, and light, and truth, His Spirit will flow through us, to refresh and bless all around us. This year may be our last year of life. Shall we not enter upon it with thoughtful consideration? 

Are you thinking of getting Married? That's great. To help you make the decision find out which 10 red flags you need to look out for before you make this very critical decision in your life.

Every time we get hurt, we add a brick to them. Some of the emotional baggage from our dysfunctional past can be heavy. Whether your luggage is shame, loss, resentment, anxiety, guilt or trauma, the Lord is able to help you heal. My prayer today is for God to help you loose your emotional buggage!

God didn't give us a precise, step-by-step manual for conducting our relationships, but He did give us principles. God's principles preserve it in its most artful and exhilarating form. “He requires us to perform only those duties that will lead our steps to heights of bliss to which the disobedient can never attain” 

 What a comfort it is to know that our heavenly Father always gives what is for our highest good—"that which we ourselves would desire if with vision divinely en­lightened we could see all things as they really are" (Steps to Christ, p. 96). 

It's natural to look back on our lives and think, "I wish I had known that back then." But this can sometimes lead to a strong sense of regret, a situation where we convince ourselves that we've somehow wasted our lives up until then. If you can break the cycle of feeding, turn inward, and face yourself courageously then you'll be able to overcome this insecurity. It's your life that's at stake- you don't want to look back in another 20 years and have even more regret, do you?

 You may be looking for a start fresh. To start a new. To start again. Do something different. Change. With any new start we inevitably must undergo a transition. Transition is defined as “a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another.” The important word to highlight here is movement.

An eagle is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings, known for its keen sight and powerful soaring flight. Here are 10 lessons we can learn from it.

 The rains are here. There's just something about the rain. Two of my best quotes come to mind the first one is by Roger Miller I quote "Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.... The second one is by Charles Chaplin I quote "I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying." 

 Everyone is affected by the Covid 19 pandemic in one way or another. Here are 3 golden rules to help you overcome the difficult times. 

When God scans the earth for potential leaders, He is not on a search for angels in the flesh. He is certainly not looking for perfect people, since there are none. He is searching for men and women like you and me, mere people made up of flesh. But He is also looking for people who share the same qualities He found in David. God is looking for men and women “after His own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14). 

What does it take to attract an ideal partner?  The three laws of attraction state that like attracts like; nature abhors a vacuum and the present is always present. Join me and find out how you can attract your ideal partner.

 We are living in a masked world, and I am not only talking about the physical masks all are required to wear everywhere. Currently with the facial masks the covering of the nose and mouth, faces become more difficult to recognize and decipher. Now partially hidden faces will obscure those features that we rely on to convey mood and emotion. In the world today we are all masked in one way or another. Masks serve as protection against an environment perceived as threatening and dangerous. 

 This is the last week of the month of New Year. I should have uploaded my first podcast already but I decided things would be done differently this year. Instead of running off with everyone else when the year kicked in, I found myself holding back at the starting line. I wondered where I was going anyway, what was the rat race all about anyway? What if i waited a little longer for my gun to go off? I hadn't really had it go "bang", so why was I about to run off? Here I am waiting. 

 As we prepare to usher in 2021, it is important to note that power changes hands at the gate, how you position yourself at the gate determines how your year will pan out. Very important to note are two things: one is make sure Jesus is in driver's seat of your life & ALL sins MUST go including all cherished SINS. At the gates of the city, important decisions and verdicts were handed down. Controversies were settled there. Financial transactions were sealed there. Honour was bestowed at the gate. Blessings were pronounced at the gate… and curses were issued as punishment for offences at the gate.

 We are now in the last month of the year. Eleven months are behind us, and we are tapering towards the close of the year 2020. No matter how your year has been, as you prepare to bid goodbye to this very unique year, think about taking time to count your blessings. The reference in giving thanks is 'Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34. Theodore Roosevelt's quote "“Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.” 

Seasons are very important elements in our lives. In areas between the polar and tropical regions, daylength, temperature, and rainfall change through the year. These changes give rise to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. These four periods of the year can mirror the different seasons of our lives. Seasonal changes affect how we live and what we wear. To survive these seasons we need to adapt to these changes. As the seasons change we are awakened to the impermanence of life and we realize the importance of embracing the present. I love the verse Psalms 90:12 " Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. 

Love at first sight is defined in Collins dictionary as the experience of starting to be in love with someone as soon as you see them for the first time. Is it possible for two people to meet and instantly know they are in love? 

 A traumatic event is defined as one that poses a threat of serious injury or death to oneself or others, and elicits feelings of intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Traumatic events are by their nature unexpected and uncontrollable. Traumatic events are by their nature unexpected and uncontrollable.  Post Traumatic Growth involves the development of new knowledge, abilities, relationships or hope and confidence following a traumatic stressor in addition to recovering successfully from acute stress reactions. Religion and spirituality may play an important and complex role in the relationship between post traumatic growth and forgiveness. The personal importance of religion has been shown to mediate the relationship between forgiveness and post traumatic growth (Schultz et al., 2010) and forgiveness interventions have facilitated post traumatic growth in religion and spirituality (Luskin, Ginzburg, & Thoresen, 2005; Rye & Pargament, 2002).

Our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon the believer. He considers the circumstances and the strength of the one who is to stand under the proving and test of God, and He never permits the temptations to be greater than the capacity of resistance. I It is obstacles that make men strong. It is . . . difficulties, conflicts, rebuffs, that make men of moral sinew. Too much ease and avoiding responsibility have made weaklings and dwarfs of those who ought to be responsible men of moral power and strong spiritual muscle. We are too quickly discouraged, and earnestly cry for the trial to be removed from us, when we should plead for patience to endure and grace to overcome. 

 “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” —Marcus Garvey. Knowing our cultural background and where we came from can help us develop a strong sense of who we really are. Do you know your family tree? Have you taken time to create your family tree? If not why not start today. Your family tree dating back three generations will help you get a glimpse of what tomorrow may be. 

Join me as I engage with Beryl as she narrates her encounters with toxic relationships.   Quoting from the Blog Post of Nicole Greene posted October 22, 2017. "Every romantic relationship is different. But there's one thing all women should know doesn't belong in a relationship: ABUSE, whether physical or emotional. Sometimes abuse is disguised as or confused with love. But it's not. No one has the right to hurt you, control you, or make you feel afraid — even if they say they do it because they love you." 

 Abuse in all its forms is an important topic to focus on because many children of God globally are either dying or suffering negative consequences for their health and well-being as a result of violence and abuse. Christian's need to speak out because we are God's hands and feet in this world and we represent His love and healing power. The bible says “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble” (I Peter 3:8, NIV). Violence impacts everyone women, children and men.

In Luke 11:1 Jesus is praying. Watching from a distance are his disciples. With the prayer done one of them asks him "Lord, teach us to pray." I am trying to imagine what kind of prayer he said.

During this covid 19 season the number of rape cases have spiked in several countries.  My daughter joins me as we go through the story of Dinah in the book of Genesis 34.  God allowed the story to be placed in the bible to reveal to us that he can see everything that happens to his children good or bad.  He is there and he will judge every act of evil upon his beloved children.

In this Christian Podcast we look at lessons from the live of Gideon in Judges chapter 6 and the key verse is 13 which according to NIV version says: 13 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.”Has the Lord abandoned us, is he here? and if he is why is there so much loss of life, sickness, anxiety and fear?
