We must all understand that Eros outside of marriage is a corruption of what God actually intended and is rather lustful pleasure, a distortion of what God meant love to be. So however we look at it, romance or any sort of sexual involvement outside of marriage is never God's will. "For this is the …
Eros denotes sexual or romantic love crafted out by God to be expressed in marriage. So the God who designed Eros, designed only marriage for its consummation. As such Eros is in no way sinful. But here is the challenge and I agree with Gary Thomas author of the book "Sacred Search" who explains that …
Have you ever imagined what exactly the love of God for us looks like. As I sat down contemplating on a scripture verse during my early morning. This phrase carried me throughout the whole week. "Be Secure In God's Love For He knows what He is doing with your life." He knew what He was …
In this life, we may experience different feelings at different times, because of the troubles of this life and the complexities of our emotions.
O death, where is thy sting!! O grave, where is thy victory!!
In Christ, though we may face satanic oppositions and have tribulations,we should be least worried about them because of what God in Christ has accomplished for us.
See, I do a new thing, for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, even though it be told you. Thus says the Lord; I will crown your year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways shall overflow with abundance. This is your heritage as a child of …
Could we actually imagine a time where the Almighty God could take a break and exit the affairs of this life for a period. Perhaps like the movie "Bruce Almighty." Actually, this could never happen, because even in His "vacation," He still remains God and is supreme over all things. Such was the case in …
WHAT ABOUT PRAYER The exercise of prayer exposes one major weakness in man and among believers which is that ability to pray and continue in prayer. The Bible calls this an infirmity and recognizes that most of us will have a struggle, not only to keep in that attitude of prayer, but also to spend …

When the responsibility of leadership is passed onto you, so is the responsibility of prayer and intercession.

Our stories carry a place in Gods heart. They really do. I can almost remember the exact day I felt the Lord’s breath over the embers of my soul. I …OUR STORIES CARRY A PLACE IN GODS HEART!
Obviously, my real struggles in prayer just taught me that prayer is a spiritual activity and that we needed to grow in it to better understand its dynamics. And trust me, there is nothing the enemy fights more than anything that opposes his kingdom and so for the man who has began to pray he …

Growing up as a child, I knew so little and almost nothing about prayer. From Primary One to Six, I would say my knowledge on prayer was nothing to write home about, and that is understandable because I was quite young and more so because I didn't really know the Lord. In those times, personal …

Did you know that there remains a rest for the people of God, yet experiencing this rest is what we sometimes miss as believers. So what could be the problem??
I write to you this letter, as a matter of urgency and concern that concerning sexual purity brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant.

In today's post, I want you to take some time and reflect on the goodness of the Lord. See how far the Lord has brought you and how much He has done for you and say Thank You to Him. Personally, I have come to understand and appreciate the love of God more in moments …
The Gospel in Christendom is the good news of the message of Jesus Christ, His life and ministry. It is not just a story, or a cunningly devised fable of some sort and this truth must be internalized if we wish to see the true power of the gospel. It is that which is from …
God's calling for us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light didn't take us away from this world of trouble and sin yet it gave us so much power that even principalities and powers in heavenly places have no idea of. A story is told of a young man whose …
Welcome to the last part of this blog series. I'm glad you made it this far and I hope today's post blesses you the more. So far along this series, we have tried to demystify the role of our emotions in our walk as believers in the Lord by establishing that our desires, feelings and …
