In the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul writes, “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” (Ephesians 4:29) This verse is a powerful reminder of the importance of the words we speak, and how they can either build up or tear down those around us. But it also speaks to a deeper truth: that the source…
I was having this steaming shower when this question popped into my head. My housemate told me churches are reopening. I was so excited that I had to go on the church’s IG page to see if I can book a seat. Inasmuch that this virtual church suits my laziness, I miss being among the gathering of my fellow siblings in the Lord. One thought crossed my mind. It was like why bother going to this church that didn’t check…
You Have A Choice Everyone needs encouragement in their lives. Encouragement infuses hope and strength when life gets tough. But, as you grow and mature in your walk with the Lord, you will realize that sometimes there is no one available to encourage you because everyone around you seems to be dealing with their own crisis. It looks like the world is so self-consumed that encouragement to others is scarce now. The pressures and busyness of life leave little room…
Dear Father, From the depth of my heart I’m grateful for everything. You’ve never let me down even when I lose my faith. It’s getting crazy and scary out here. A lot of people are jobless, traumatized, stressed, sick and hungry. Provide our daily bread for today, tomorrow and everyday of our lives. I want to ask that you meet us at the point of our needs. Let us come through all these unscathed. We can’t do this alone without…
God Is Love 7-10 My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This…
This is all I want That the love I have for you Doesn’t fade along with youth Can you help with that? The reason that I ask I’ve seen far too many friends Walk away and not come back I want more than that I won’t wash away Like branches in rain I’d rather be kindling in the light Set me on fire like I’ve never known I want to love you more as life goes on So all of…
Gradually you’re turning to the person you never said you’d be. You’re doing all the things you swore you’d never be caught doing. Finally you accept it as a lifestyle and make it who you are. We probably did not know what it felt like to experience the world in another person’s perspective and view life from their living conditions before we said we would never be like them or act the way they do. Most times from our comfort…
“The real reason people want to be rich isn’t so they can buy stuff. It’s so they can have power over others. People want influence and respect and they see that people with money have influence and respect, so they seek money” -Charles I’m sure most of us have had our moment of fame one way or the other. Whether is being a prefect or a school bully back in high school, being the president of a club or an…
Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one that craves hearing from God directly like literally in my ears, loud and clear. What’s God’s word for your life? Do you feel you’re going according to His plan? First of all God is all you need to have all your needs met. Bad things happen to good people a lot but does it change God’s word concerning your life? His promises of harvest, health, multiplication, good success, etc. No, God’s word…
Your radiant personality gives you the transformation you desire, Where there is perfect love, your dreams soar higher, With the consciousness through shattered days, In Him you would love and rise above delays, “Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.” -Paramahansa Yogananda Maintain the recognition that He is here, And relieve yourself from all the fears, Feel the passion of the scriptures and the…
