The Young Ones are Impressionable
As parents, we need to help our children select their friends from as early as primary (elementary) school. This should not be done as a means to segregate, nor should we be training them to be pompous or selfish. This is early training for them to recognize good and bad traits in persons, so they can make the right choices. SurelyRead the rest of this page »
Enjoy Your Testings
Our lives on this earth will never be perfect but can always be made better. Ever notice how as soon as we fix one situation, another one arises? The initial reaction is usually one of rejection which leads to miserableness and stress. The sooner we accept any given situation as is and start looking for solutions, the quicker we willRead the rest of this page »
We Can’t Serve God Without Knowing Him
By faith we believe that God exist and if we diligently seek Him we will find Him. He will reward us with himself, Hebrews 11:6. Everytime we oppose a wrong word or action, it is an exercise in faith, Hebrews 11:24. Please read the entire chapter of Hebrews 11. God responds to faith with works, so we cannot say itRead the rest of this page »
Marriages
To begin with, and contrary to what many pastors preach, God does not put all marriages together! Just a second, would God sanction a business marriage (marriage for opportunity) or a same sex union (pollution of His temple)? And if you think that He would, then what about persons having sex with animals? The point is, God starts with perfectionRead the rest of this page »
Friday the 13th, so what??
Persons have always been wary of Friday the 13th but there are other days of the week which are much more serious, in terms of witchcraft. It is just that we might not be aware of them. We have all been guilty of subscribing to witchcraft at some point or another but as we become more aware we should make the necessary changesRead the rest of this page »
Depend on God
The word of God encourages us to put our trust in God, because God cannot fail. If we put our trust in man, man can fail and will fail! God wants us to learn to trust Him more, to depend on Him more, to lean on Him more. We must understand that without God we are nothing, but that we can doRead the rest of this page »
Pressures Within and Without
Paul spoke many times in the scriptures about the things of the flesh and the warring against them. These are sometimes extremely difficult to deal with and the enemy knows how to effectively use them against us, how to build the pressures from within. So the greater the degree of control we have and the more we use our will toRead the rest of this page »
Give Thanks
The Spirit of God does not strive in man at all times (strive – make great efforts). This speaks to why hardened Christians do or say the wrong things. So as Christians we must endeavour to have the Spirit of God with us at all times. The word also tells us that iron sharpeneth iron (the file is made outRead the rest of this page »
Things We Cannot See are Critical
While we can feel pain and stress and can even look at a person and know that they are stressed or feeling pain, none of us can actually see pain or stress. To stretch our thought processes let us think of someone who could be smiling broadly, yet experiencing the greatest of pain (putting the best outside). Or someone couldRead the rest of this page »
Learning How to Live with Much or with Little
The word of God instructs us to learn to live with much or to live with little Phil. 4:12 (to abound or to abase). It is much easier to live with much than to live in lack. It is however much more beautiful to live in lack and be contented, to depend on God and not freak out! The beautiful part ofRead the rest of this page »
