Wednesday 21st April  Courage to Start Again 3   Finding the strength to start again is quite tough when one has been through a series of disappointments. It’s very demoralizing and saps our energy. However, without the courage to start again, it is impossible to progress. Let read the book of Judges 6 :11-16 (GNB), 11Then the LORD's angel came to the village of Ophrah and sat under the...

Tuesday 20th April The Courage to Start Again The journey of starting again is never an easy one. Finding the inner strength to start again usually requires drawing inspiration from a person or purpose higher than us. The reality of past failure experiences can be so powerful that it grounds people completely. Whether it’s Moses heading back to Egypt to deliver God’s people or Joshua mobilizing th...

Monday 19th April               The Courage To Start Again    Starting again after a project failed or fell through can be a herculean task, it seems to take all the strength out of our system. But the interesting thing about failing and stating again is that, it is what God expects of us. He expects us to be able to start...

Sunday18th April The Fear of Starting Again 7 From our discussion yesterday, we learnt how Jacob went into panic as he was told that his brother Esau was riding out to meet him with 400 horsemen. Based on Esau’s threat earlier that he was going to kill Jacob for taking his birthright, all he could see was the massacre of his household. He had forgotten that God was the One that told him to go back...

The Fear of Starting Again 6 I’ve always asked myself, why does God always make us go through things that will challenge us so much, almost to our breaking point till we become fearful? To show that He knows what is going on He then says Fear Not” Why? Because He knows that we're actually Jacob had left his father's house because Esau had threatened to kill him once their parents were dead. He fel...

Thursday 15 April The Fear of Starting Again 4 Have you ever had the responsibility of leading a discouraged people after a great leader has just left the scene? Have you had to motivate and move an audience to action by your speech after a great speaker had just spoken leaving the people on a somber note? It is a very awkward place to be and that is exactly where young Joshua found himself. Moses...

Wednesday 14th April      The Fear of Starting Again 3. The fear of starting again is real whether it's from a natural source  or fear induced by Satan, he tries to build a stronghold to keep people down especially after a failed project. Peter was an experienced fisherman and had gone fishing overnight but caught nothing. As He was clearing up to return home after a disap...

 Tuesday 13th April                                       The Fear of Starting Again 2 We started looking at the life of Moses yesterday and we see that his first attempt at delivering the Hebrews failed. Yes, it was God’s purpose for him to deliver them but was it the right time...

Monday 12th April 2021 The fear of starting again. One of the major problems when it comes to starting again is the fear. Moses knew God had called him to deliver the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt, his first attempt at that got him in so much trouble that he lost his place in Egypt and ran away as a fugitive. Starting life afresh in Midian as a shepherd employed by his father in-law was a m...

Sunday 11 April 2021 The God That Starts Again. 6 Years ago, I heard the story of this young man who was in a relationship with a young lady during the Nigerian civil war. There was a raid on their area and as they were escaping, the lady was hit by a bullet and she eventually died in her fiancé’s hands. This man did not start another relationship again because each time he got into the relationsh...

Saturday 10th April The God That Starts again. 5 All of God’s purpose on earth involves people. Sometimes the people choose to deviate from God’s purpose and when this happens, He usually starts again, He maintains His purpose but He changes the people. This can be quite painful considering the investment God must have made in those lives. It is important to remind ourselves of this truth again: G...

Friday 9th April    The God That Starts Again   At creation God said, "Let us create man in our own image and likeness…male and female, He created them". Our God is a God of relationships because it takes relationships to increase, multiply, extend our reach and manifest in a bigger and better way.    It's disheartening to see that some of us give up on relationships espec...

Thursday 8th April The God that Starts Again. 3 When I look at the story of creation, I am amazed at the turn of events. For example, in Genesis 1:1, the bible says that God created heaven and the earth. In verse two, the bible says that the earth was without form and void and darkness covered the face of the earth. In verse three, we see the work of recreation of the earth. Some archaeologists an...

Wednesday 7th April The God Who Starts Again 2 Sometimes, we have a wrong concept of God. Our idea about God in most cases is that of a person who can’t relate with our realities. God fits into every situation and into every single day reality. God is current, He’s in our past, and also in the future. He fit perfectly into every situation. Jeremiah 18 :4 (NLT ) 4 But the jar he was making did...

Tuesday 6: THE GOD THAT STARTS AGAIN God designed the world with human beings in it and unlike all His other creations, He gave human beings a will. With the will, they had the power to chose Him or reject Him and they were free to go against His plan. Anytime mankind went against His plan, it was His responsibility to start again, finding a way to carry out His plan in spite of human rebellion. H...

Monday 5th April The Power to Start Again 5 – Death is not the end  For century death terrorized the human race. Nothing and no one seemed immune against its power. It’s caused a lot of pain and sorrow to its victims and their loved ones. At the death of Lazarus, Jesus saw the utter hopelessness and helplessness of people in the face of death, this reality hit Him so much that He wept. (Jn. 1...

Sunday 4th April: The Power to Start Again 4 – Nothing Is Shocking Happy Easter Sunday. The sacrifice of Christ is the “shock absorber” for every human problem that can ever happen on earth. God saw it all before it happened, the betrayals, the wickedness of man, the advancement of evil yet He continued with the work of creation. He knew He’d have to start over again yet He continued, why? Because...

Saturday 3rd April:  The Power to Start Again – “…from the very beginning” In the classic 1965 movie, Sound of Music, Maria the governess of the house taught the Captain’s children a song that said; “Let's start at the very beginning, A very good place to start…” The wisdom in the song for me is that – the beginning is always the best place to start, even when you are starting again. We said...

Friday 2nd April: The Power to Start Again - The Tale of Two Adams All over the world Christians celebrate this week as Easter and today is specifically as Good Friday. The story of Easter is the story of the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the story of the triumph of life over death, of love over hate, of righteousness over sin and of the blessing over the curse. More imp...

Thursday 1st April     Power to Start Again  The operation, mindset and values of the Kingdom of God are completely different from that of this world. What the world celebrates can be shameful in the kingdom of God and what is considered wise in the Kingdom of God can be considered foolish in this world. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says t...

 Tuesday 30th March  A beautiful Tuesday to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I trust that your day is going on well. I have often wondered why it seems impossible to keep our challenges completely secret. I’m not implying that people know every detail of the challenges you are going through but somehow people just know things are not going too well. Bad news has a way of traveling fast....

 Sunday 28th March  A beautiful Sunday to you in the name of Jesus.    God has designed everyone to be a living testimony and when we allow Jesus take the Lordship of our lives, we really begin the journey with Him at our side. One of the thing God frowns at is judging people, especially based on their past.  When we judge people it’s easy for us to condemn those that God...
