Christmas reminds us of a time when God remembered those who appeared forgotten. Like Bethlehem, may God remember you tjis season

It's in our human nature to judge things based on our senses. We expect things to follow a predictable flow. Christmas reminds us that beyond the natural, there is the supernatural. It's not every miracle that can be explained using human terms.

Many are the times we look for God in the palaces forgetting that quite often He prefers the mangers of our lives. You may miss him in Herod's palace but you'll surely find him in a Bethlehem manger!

Christmas is described as a season of peace and goodwill to all men. God decides to do good, not because we are good but for goods sake. Who can you extend goodwill to this season as you remember God's goodwill towards you?

The greatest thing that happened over Christmas is when God came to our level when we could not get to his level. God wore our shoes and shared in our experiences. We can trust him with everything that comes our way in life

Christmas reminds us of how God reached out to us even while we were still sinners. He extended a bridge of mercy and forgiveness reconciliation us to himself. Who may God be asking you to make peace with this Christmas?

At Christmas, God remembered both the young and the forgotten. Before He visited young Mary in Nazareth, he passed by an old couple; Zechariah and Elizabeth whose dream appeared buried and forgotten. God is not a respecter of persons and can change your life at any age!

In a world that is filled with so many bad news, Christmas reminds us that God is the source of good news. The Angel told the shepherds that he brings them good news of great joy to all the earth. God has some good news in your situation today!

One truth that we celebrate every Christmas is the realization that Jesus came to give us our true freedom. God never created man to be independent and we realize our true freedom when we submit our lives to Christ. When we want to take control of our lives, we lose it but when we lose our lives in Christ, we find our freedom!

Nations remember their heroes who waged war to fight for their freedom. At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus Christ who is our Freedom Fighter who delivered us from the power of sin and death!

A Generous Heart will always think about others who are less fortunate during the hard seasons of life. It will always feel dissatisfied to eat alone.

The actions of generosity we take today have the potential to influence the future of our children. Jonathan was kind and generous to David and in doing this planted a seed from which his son Mephiboseth ate the fruits!

There is something about children that touches our hearts. That is the very thing that saw Jesus tell his disciples to allow little children to come to him. When we touch children with our generosity, it comes back to us. Whosoever touches a child builds a bridge that shall come in handy some day to come.

Helping out and been generous to the needy may appear like casting away something precious. What we need to be assured of however is that generosity is an act of faith expressed to God and He always repays. Cast your bread upon the water for after many days you shall find it.

Fasting is part of a believers life where we take time to humble ourselves by missing meal and pleasure for a while to entreat God into our situations. Fasting is biblical and a good discipline but God also advises believers others way we can witness his interventions in our lives. One of such ways is through a generous heart where we partner with God in helping the poor and the needy who comes ou...

At a time when the drive for many is to focus on self and turn a blind eye to the suffering of many out there, God is still looking for people that can partner with him in alleviating human suffering. The scriptures reminds us that whosoever gives to the poor lends to the Lord and God always repay. God is asking us to go beyond thinking about ourselves and reaching out to others. Will you mind to...

Our generous acts as a memorial before God that causes him to remember us as He remembered Cornelius, a gentile Centurion. What generous acts can make God remember you?

Many times we use the excuse of meagre resources as a justification for not been generous. This excuse denies the fact that, whatever we have whether little or much comes from God and He expects us to be faithful with it. Jesus said that whosoever is faithful with little shall be faithful with much. God sent Elijah to a widow in Zeraphath who was about to eat her last meal. He did not send the pro...

God's blessings are never direct but they are never missed by those who have trained their hearts to be generous. Lot did not allow two strangers to bypass his in Sodom. By opening his home for these strangers, he ended up saving his life and that of his family because the so seemingly strangers were Angels on a mission to save Sodom.

It is possible to do good and forget it. What we should however remember is that the good we do goes into an account with God that is never forgotten. The generosity we extend out there has a way of always coming back to us when we least expect. That is what happened to Tabitha a generous lady who touched many poor people and widows in Joppa. When she died, the lives she touched not only cried and...

At a time when the considerations of many is what is in it for them, God exhorts believers to do good for the sake of doing good. Fellow humans may not appreciate the good you do but it never escapes God's attention. The Shunnamite Woman helped Elisha without expecting anything in return but her generous heart never escaped God's attention. 

Generosity is a virtue that is encouraged in the word of God. It is the attribute of treating others with kindness and being generous and includes sharing our resources with them. We are living at a time when people have been taken advantage of and the virtue of generosity is slowly eroding. One cannot avoid feeling conned when they stretch forth their hand to support a given cause and some have b...

Many times when we attempt to test God, we find ourselves getting tested instead. God relational desire with us is that we be able to trust him to act for our good in whatever circumstances we are in. We should trust him as a Shepherd. When Gideon decided to test God using a fleece, he was not prepared when the test rebounded back to him and he had to face an army of thousands with only 300 men. J...

Giving to God and for godly causes is a topic that has attracted mixed opinions over the years. Whereas there should be no debate as to whether we should support the activities of the local church or the Ministers of the gospel, giving to God should never be appear like we are trading with him. Tithes and offering were crucial in supporting godly work in the old testament and are still crucial tod...

Quite often, God will give his children accompanying signs demonstrating his presence together with them. That is what He did to Moses so that the Children of Israel as well as Pharaoh may know that Moses was sent by God and not acting on his own. The signs must however not be self serving or for self glorification but for God's honour. We must also not look for them because as Jesus said, signs a...
