Walk With Me #Deararn.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.

My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart. If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. Trust in the Lord with all your...

A walk through the Book of Proverbs. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7) My fellow pilgrim, welcome to this great season of your life. As you may have discovered, life is a trust, an assignment, a mystery; only the wise hold the key. You are at a great place in life, I can tell. It promises to get better, but only if you atte...

The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart

What do we do with our wounded soldiers? What should we do with the wounded? The Bible recommends that we restore them in gentleness. Be kind and take care; you can trip up. When one of us is injured or derailed, it should not be for us an occasion to boast or berate. Most times, the person in the wrong already knows they are wrong. They are already beating themselves down and do not forget; the d...

Guard Your Heart Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23) My friend, I thought I would let you know that the Master and I scheduled a visit to you this morning. I was sure that having been together for so long, pondering over God's will for us, everything would be in place. I assured the Master that you are one of the finest breeds on this side of the...

Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. Hosea 14:2

One of the many things I resort to when I am in a bind is to go down memory lane. I cast my mind back to where I am coming from. I recall all the many times' God brought me through, and I draw strength to continue the journey. You see, I have been a recipient of God's goodness. I have been a partaker of His grace. I have tasted His mercy, and I have caught a glimpse of His glory. I have seen enoug...

Look Within Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. (Genesis 1:11) They needed to feed the crowd, and the disciples were lost. The master instructed, look within. The woman needed to pay the debts her husband had left her. The instruction was simple. Look within! Go...

Give God Your Best! The church was packed because it was the first service of the year. It was also thanksgiving Sunday, time to thank God for making it to the New Year. Show gratitude that the enemies did not triumph, for the many contracts, for safety on all journeys, for new homes, and most importantly, that you got enlisted in the army of God's Kingdom etc. Has anyone said thank you for life a...

When Life Issues Keeps you Separate It had been seven years with many trips to the doctors and long queues at the counselling sessions. Keeping hope alive was proving to be an arduous task. The word that he had before he married her was that she was the 'wife and mother of his children'. According to the doctors, only a miracle would make that happen. They not only needed the blessing of a baby, b...

God Is Up To Something Grace placed her in the palace. In the natural, she was a slave girl. There were many like her, but this one is different. She was not only beautiful, there was a certain air around her. You just fell in love with her, and you wanted to do her good. Hegai, the king’s eunuch could not help but favour her. She was a young girl who needed to be guided; her parents already died,...

LEST BUILD AGAIN, THE NEHEMIAH STYLE He came to the big city in search of a better life. Life did him well as he found himself in the position of a local government chair in a few years. All was going well for him just that he could not but remember his roots. He often wondered how everyone at home was faring. His job at the local government kept him working day and night many times, even on Sunda...

True Intercession Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:4-11), Solomon (1 Kings 8:28-50), Elijah (1 Kings 18:36-39), Daniel (Daniel 9:3-10) all prayed. Their nation needed God, and they did not exempt themselves even though they were ok. They were comfortable in their own right, and they could choose to turn a blind eye to the plight of the people. They decided to identify. Even with the people's rebellion and sin...

The list is long. Chronicles tell us who brought whom forth. They even tell whom their strange associations birthed. Then they get to him. He was born in sorrow; his mama must have had it so rough when she mentioned the name, people did not object. After all, they objected when Elizabeth said her son's name would be John. ‘He shall be called Jabez,’ she said. Pray where was daddy, did he also have...

He knew her well. The whole family were now his family. The day He saw them, the willingness was astounding. They had a family business, and they left it all, to follow him. The matriarch must be a thinker, a planner. She must have looked into the future done her calculations and decided to act. Her two sons had abandoned the family business to follow this man. Sorting out their future was a must-...

Today, let’s enjoy the fellowship with other believers in Christ. Let’s exchange ideas and see how other fellow labourers are doing in their assignments. When you are at home, ruminate on God’s goodness and mercy to you during the past week and plan the week ahead. Also, remember to give thanks: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His...

Ada, Deyo and Timi were prayer buddies. They met in fellowship, and it was not long before their common zeal and love for God drew them to each other. Even though they were close, they were generations apart in terms of age. Deyo was in his sixties, and Ada and Timi were in their late twenties. They had similar reasons to want to seek God. Apart from their regular worship days, they got together o...

Today we stop to ask: * • From whence art thou? * • Of what stock are you? * • To whom do you belong? * • What is your faith based on? * • The Christ you profess, how did you come about Him? Looking through the scriptures, we discover "the faith". There is a faith in Jesus Christ. This faith recognises all that Jesus came to do for us on earth and all He is doing for us in heaven. From Jude's reco...

Aloneness many times is a gift. It helps us confront our very selves. It digs into all the corners we would prefer not to go. A day at the beach, just watching the waves; a walk in the garden; a morning at the spa; a night alone in the woods; a room in the house; a corner in your office; a chair; a spot in the park; wherever you get it or however you create it, you need time alone with God. The so...

Growing up in one of the orthodox churches, prayer was rhetorical and majorly mechanical. You knew what prayers were said at certain times of the year. If you were a faithful congregant, you would be able to say those prayers without opening the prayer book. The prayers were written by Christians who lived centuries ago. The struggles were similar, and one could understand the thought behind praye...

Will Your ‘But’ Hinder You? He had it all - power, position, influence. He was at the peak of his career, and everyone respected him. By him, victories were wrought for his country. The king owed him a lot. He had soldiers under him, but he was a leper. Pray, when did he become one? Before or after he rose in his career? How did he pull it off? Did he have to retire after becoming leprous? Aren't...
