Friends, I have come to a time in my life where I must seek God and trust Him. Sometimes, we need God to shape our lives and tell us what our next step is. We need to stop, look, listen and obey Him, so we can be assured that we are on the right road and will not have to turn around or go off-course. When God has directed us, or we have been put in a situation that we simply …

Hello friends: I want to encourage everyone who is going through a test in his/her life, to trust God. He does not lie (Numb 23:19).

Wait until your change comes.God has given me patience to wait on Him and I am so grateful that I have come to …
You are probably wondering from where did I obtain this title? As an exercise during a women's retreat, each person was asked to choose something from the table that had meaning to her. I chose a tiny insignificant bell. That bell may be different to other bells by size, weight and color but the similarity was that it could do something; it had sound. That reminds us that …
Christians celebrate Easter by attending church services. Easter day is known as Easter Sunday or Resurrection Sunday by some. We celebrate Easter Sunday because God showed His love towards us by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, Our Savior, who knew no sin, to die in our place. Jesus rose again, and now, advocates for us before the Father. When we accept Jesus Christ as our …
I want to define what I think Rise up means and why you should rise up. Rise up, for me, is taking a close look at yourself: what you have done in the past, where you are currently and establishing goals for your future. If you are in an abusive relationship, for example, you should first, rise up to the reality of the situation and do something about it. You should seek out …
According to John's Gospel, Jesus is the Word who came into the world and dwelt among us. Because Jesus was the light that brought life (John 1:1-4) and freedom to us, we need not settle for a life of bondage. Instead, we should experience a life filled with the fruit of the Spirit, which includes love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and …
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated annually, on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States. What the pilgrims started in the seventeenth century to give God thanks for a plentiful harvest, has continued even in the 21st century by all of us. We give God thanks not only for the life that He has given us, but the strength to go through tough times, for His manifold …
We should pray because prayer is approaching God in a spirit of worship, magnifying and exalting Him for who He is. Rev 4:11 states that God is worthy to receive honor, glory and power, for he created all things and by His will they exist and were created. He is Holy (Ps 99:5), the mighty God and the God of all Gods (Deut.10:17). He is faithful and just (Deut 7:9), the forgiver …
In the past months and prior, there has been tension in the USA and abroad over the killings of innocent people. You are wondering where is God in all of this? Do we still have hope? My dear friends, God is still supreme in the midst of disaster; the plans He has for people and nations never change. We can go back in history and we notice that God’s plans for his people Israel …
Many of us have had to make decisions as we travel through life. We become frustrated with our decisions in college, work, business, and other situations. We felt that we arrived at success only to start again. The frustration comes from viewing success as an actual destination. According to John Maxwell, in his book, The Success Journey, success is simply a journey, not a …
Over the hills and mountains, I climb, Persevering to see my Savior and to draw close to Him. Sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall, But He is always faithful to pick me up. He provides the hills and the mountains as challenges To show me how excellent He has been to me. He has shown me daily that the mountains I can overcome, And the valleys I can be lifted from. This poem was …
God had a plan for you before the foundation of the world. That plan was made exclusively for you to walk in. Sometimes, struggles come to deter us from walking in God's divine plan. Please read the following prayer and answer the question: "What is holding you from attaining your purpose?" To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven(Eccl …
