"In that moment you must be careful not to make a mistake or give in to the taunts and whispers of the enemy."

"A night watchman must use senses other than sight to detect danger. Amongst other things, he is often alone in the darkness and without the defenses he would otherwise employ. Also, there may be no indications of an enemy attack until it happens. So he must be hyper-vigilant, highly sensitive and always ready to attack. Now, that is the type of watching Jesus spoke about!"

"No matter what, just get busy investing value into your waiting season so that you don't wear yourself out with anxiety."

"...if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

"Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established."

"...the things we idolize are not always sinful in and of themselves. They are often good things which have been given as gifts from God (For instance, power can be a good thing if used for the right purposes, but it becomes a terrible thing when it is pursued at all costs). The problem however arises, when we forget the Giver and instead worship the gift."

"...waiting only makes attaining that dream/goal much more satisfying and helps you savor the worth of your victory..."

"...do you have charity?...For love is not just an act, it is a person. God is love."

"I am convinced that our challenge with holding onto the promises of God is because we do not know 'when it will happen', 'we don’t feel like it will happen', 'it seems too impossible for it to happen' and 'we feel it is too late for it to happen'. We allow our feelings to trump our faith."

"...most of us are no different from the recalcitrant and unbelieving children of Israel. We let our appetite and human sight distract us from where God is taking us to. We fret about what to eat and what to wear like God doesn't know that we need these things."

"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your father in heaven may forgive you your sins"

"Your decision to lean on God is not a guarantee that everything will suddenly become perfect. Rather, it is an assurance that no matter what, God is with you and His purposes for your life will not fail".

"...although the comfort zone is a beautiful place, nothing ever grows there".

"The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion".

"Don't expect to be great, if you cannot start small."

"...say someone helped you replace a flat tire. Gratefulness is when you let that someone know how much you appreciate their help. But thankfulness is when you appreciate the fact that your flat tire is replaced. The former is explicit but the latter tends to be implicit. You tell the person how grateful you are for their help but that feeling of relief that your tire got replaced is mostly reserv...

"...there are many (rejected) Sauls occupying an office or position they have since been rejected from. They are just figureheads, possessing a title but with no mantle. Once upon a time, they were vessels of gold before God, chosen for a special purpose and a unique assignment. But now, they are vessels of wood and clay before God, without any special purpose nor anointing."

"...some people adopt unique coping mechanisms like drug addiction, alcoholism and so on to avoid the harsh reality of their unhappy life, those coping mechanisms can never bring them peace. That is because perfect peace is found in Jesus Christ. He is the Prince of Peace."

"Oftentimes, we are quick to judge people without knowing their stories. Even when we know their story, we lack the discernment to know the person’s pressing needs. So, in an attempt to advise them, we reprove them more than we instruct them unto righteousness. Jesus Christ never does that."

"...four (4) practical steps by which one can achieve results when one prays. According to the author, the four (4) steps are Personal Conviction about God, Ask not amiss, Trust his methods and Hope in God."

"It means that spiritual battles are not trivial, and can only be won by those who are prayed up. To be prayed up, means to pray without ceasing even as Jesus Christ did".

"Don't tell your God how big your problems are, tell your problems how BIG your God is".

When we are in a position where we can’t help or speak for ourself, the goodwill/prayers of others whom we have helped will be our lifeline. Examine your life today. When you meet people, change jobs, relocate and pass on, what will you be remembered for?

If not for God's grace, the whole of humanity would have been wiped out by now just like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, but mercy says "no"...let them live, let them grow, maybe they will repent, maybe they will become saved.

"Why does God allow the wicked to prosper in their evil, while leaving me to languish despite my righteousness?"
