Dear young Christian wife, God desires our devotion to Him in our homes, because that’s where life is most intimately shared. He calls us to be our husbands’ helper (Genesis 2:8), love our children, submit to our husbands so that His name may not be reviled ( Titus 2:4-5 ESV) Note, God is not against any Christian wife/mom working outside of the home. In fact, more wives/moms work outside the home today either willingly or circumstantially. This

Most of the things we face are simply distractions. You have to stay focused. It takes discipline to say, “I’m not going to respond. I’m not going to sink to their level, wasting my time and energy. I have a destiny to fulfill; my hour has come.” Proverbs says, “Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor.” It’s easy to get in conflict, live offended, upset, want to pay people back. That doesn’t take any discipline. Avoiding a fight, not

“A very poor woman called a radio station asking for help from God. A non-believer who was also listening to this radio program decided to make fun of the woman. He got the woman's address from the radio station and told his secretary to carry a large amount of foodstuff to the woman. However, he gave the following instruction, "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that it's from the devil.'' When the secretary arrived at the woman's

Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was a few meters from the finish line, but got confused by the signals and stopped, thinking he had finished the race. The Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening in front of him, began shouting for the Kenyan to keep running. Motai did not know Spanish and did not understand. Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory. One reporter asked Evan, "Why did you do this?" Evan replied, "My

Before Nelson Mandela left  prison he said "As I stand before the door to my freedom, I  realize that if I  do not leave my pain, anger and bitterness behind me , I will still be in prison". Self imprisonment is worse than that imposed. How many are in self inflicted  pains today for lack of forgiveness.  How many of us have imprisoned ourselves inside the walls of anger and bitterness. Holding grudges does not make you strong, it makes you

PHILIPPIANS 3:14 KJV "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." What will really matter at the end of your life on earth? Will what you are giving attention to now still be important then? Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did -- or didn't do? Distractions abound. TV, phone calls, web sites, books, movies. It might be a good idea to stop and evaluate how you are investing your time. 1 CORINTHIANS

As we continue with our 21 Days of Praying and Fasting: Let our words agree with God’s word, for when the words of our mouth agree with the Word of God, we enlist the ministry of Jesus as the High Priest of our confession (Hebrews 3:1, KJV). Again we are encouraged to hold fast our confession without wavering. We “hold fast” because He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:25). David confessed: ‘I love the LORD, because He hears [and continues

God crated man to be in His presence (Eden), to fellowship worship Him. There is no shalom in life when we do not give God proper worship. We connect with God through altar worship (a sacred space or thing dedicated for God). Leviticus 22 expounds on how the Israelites were supposed to worship God in a way that depicted His Divine nature. In verse 2 God demanded respect and honour from the priests who were handling the sacred items brought to his

DECEPTION IN THE GALATIA CHURCHES Galatians 1:4 Jesus gave himself for our sins to RESCUE us from this evil age **[For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, Colossians 1:13 NIV]** v6 Paul was SHOCKED/ASTONISHED/IRRITATED/MARVELLED that they had started to desert God's Grace through Christ and we're turning to a different Gospel, v7 Which was NO GOSPEL at all. {You are being fooled by

**We are all in a race; running on the correct LANE matters and finishing WELL also matters** "You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?" Galatians 5:7 { - The judaizers/agitators/circumcision group had cut the Galatian churches - gentile churches - from running a Good Race. The group was agitating that on top of God's saving Grace through Christ, the Galatians needed to observe the Jewish customs for their
