(II Samuel 10) The people you surround yourself with play a huge impact in influencing your decision. It is important who you are surrounded with. When you, and/or people around you always see bad in people’s act of goodness, you all end up fighting unnecessary battles. Such is the story of king Hanun and his advisers who advised him wrongly when king David extended his hand of kindness towards hi...

Philippians 2:14-15 Consider quitting constant complaining about the people upsetting you and start praying for them; also telling them, in love, why they’re upsetting you, if you believe telling them would be beneficial.

(Gen 22:1-19 , Heb 11:23, John 3:16) Faith is seen in action not only in confession. By faith, Abraham offered Isaac and God showed up big time for him.

What a powerhouse harvest of souls to His monarchy? Your faith in God’s Word and in the na...

(1 John 4:19; Romans 5:5) I so love this verse “We love because God first loved us.” 1 John‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭GNT‬‬ “We are able to love God and other people because God loved us first.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭EASY‬‬ The Bible says “we love” not that “we will love” .

(Romans 14:13) It is easy to judge someone. It is inconsiderate to want to decide what is right for others and in doing so, making life more difficult for them.

Matthew 22:15-end; Isaiah 54:15 The pharisees, Jewish religious party, who are legalistic in nature, were looking for ways to trap Jesus in His words.

Matthew 7:36-27 What are you doing with the Word you received? Jesus said in one of His teachings in Matthew 7:26-27. Imploring us to allow His Word to work in us and to change us from within.

When a storm rolled in and the waves...

(Luke 7:38; Matthew 26:48-49) I will always remember the day I saw the man. His face was an expression of rejection and sorrow. In the distance was a woman absorbed in some activities I could not capture. Weighed down and greatly concerned by the man’s loneli- ness and gloom, I went to the woman and asked her if she knew the cause of the man’s mood. To my shock, the woman voiced out this response:...

(Psalms 89:8-9; Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4: 35-41; Luke 8:22-25) I want to remind you today that the Lord is the ruler over all storms.

Give Allowance For Human’s Shortcoming (Psalms 19:12; John 10:10) Give allowance for human’s shortcoming. Give allowance for Human’s frailty. Everyone falls short in one way or the other.

(Amos 5:23; John 4:23-24) Our prayer and song to the Lord become ‘noise’ instead of ‘worship’ when we lose the desire to live right.

I shall not even listen to the melody of your harps.” ‭‭Amos‬ ‭5:23‬ ‭AMP‬ In retrospective, how is your desire to live rig...

(II Corinth 4:7; John 3:16) It is the ultimate plan and desire of God that His children express Him and reflect Him in all things. Man is created in the image of God. Man is created to express God.

(II Sam 6; 2 Corinth 13:5; John 14:23) Obed-edom’s life’s narrative changed! His story changed as king David decided to take the ark of God into his house out of fear. Obed-edom became a wonder. The Lord blessed him. The Lord blessed his household and all that pertains unto him because of the Ark. The Ark of God represents God’s presence.

(Matthew 5:44-45) Exactly a week after my ordeal with a TFL ticket staff that was not professional enough in his dealing with me, a feeling of annoyance aroused within me.
