WHEN PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR MINDS ABOUT YOU
It is interesting how people can quickly change their minds about you. We live in a world where our social, financial, and even educational status determines how others interact with us. Have you ever met people who show kindness to others for the wrong reasons? Their kindness is conditional. They show love and kindness until…

A DIFFERENT LOOK AT JUDAS’ BETRAYAL
As I was reading Mathew chapters 26 and 27, where the chief priests and the elders schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill Him. I realized that out of all the people they could have selected for the job, Judas Iscariot, a member of Jesus’ inner circle, volunteered to help. What’s even more interesting is…

WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? YOUR FAITH MATTERS!
God cares deeply about each of His children’s perspective of Him. When we read or hear a passage of Scripture, God looks to see whether we believe what we just read or heard about Him. He wants to know how much we are willing to take Him at His Word. Often, we read the Bible…

WHAT IS YOUR SWORD?
I’m sure many of us, if not all of us, have heard this passage of Scripture multiple times that says, “The battle is not yours but God’s” (2 Chronicles 20:15), or we might have heard Exodus 14:14, which says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” At the same time,…

They believe if they don’t post about it, then others will not be convinced they possess it or that it really happened. Unfortunately, many of us have fallen into that trap,…

DEATH IS NOT THE PROBLEM; A LIFE WITHOUT JESUS IS
None of us like to talk about death. Just the thought of it saddens our hearts. When we experience the loss of a loved one, our world falls apart, and some may take longer to recover than others. Nevertheless, we would prefer not to go down that road at all. Although the topic is gloomy,…

THE GIFT OF KNOWING GOD’S WILL
The Bible shows that God always finds a way to introduce Himself to human beings. Starting with Adam and Eve, God not only created them but also visited them in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the day (Genesis 3:8). After the fall, humanity lost connection with God, but that doesn’t mean God…

IS IT WORTH IT TO RUN AFTER THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD?
We live in a world filled with distractions and temptations, so we really have to be careful about the things we let preoccupy our minds. I have realized that some issues were not so common among our forefathers. For example, issues like anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, laziness, high blood pressure, diabetes, and fear of missing…

CAN I BE PROMOTED TO A GODLY POSITION AND STILL BE KIND AND SPIRIT-FILLED?
One of the challenges the body of Christ faces is the lack of knowledge on how to manage success. The sad truth is that we are not prepared for success because we were never taught how to handle it. When we talk about the lack of management in success, we often refer to the financial…
