6 Reasons why you must TRUST GOD

Sometimes we put our trust on our closest friends and then we think we are safe. We let them know all our secrets and forget that sometimes the tables do turnaround bringing your enemy to be your best friend and your best friend your worst enemy. And when that one person let out your entire secret you will then be full of regrets, shame and betrayed. “ Ps 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God” There are about 181 verses in the bible, both the trust of man and of God. But am going to show you 6 (six) reasons on why you should trust God over man. One reason you must trust God is: He Knows You by Name: Isa 43:1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. If you continue to read down to verse 7 you will then understand why you should trust him. He Thinks About You: Psa 139: 17 How pre...

7 steps to Help you in Time of Struggle

Over the course of our lives, we will all experience a struggle of one kind or another. We are not alone when we encounter heartbreak, death, or sickness. But when the worst of times comes, when we’re forced to face these trials, our goal  should not be to try to smile them away, to ignore the pain and suffering, or to shove them down into a deep, dark place. So what should our goal be? It’s easy to panic in the midst of the storm as the disciples did in the boat — when, with blank minds, we forget who is by our side and assume the absolute worst. But panic cannot be our next step. In fact, panic often prevents us from taking any next steps at all. It’s also easy to let this trouble of ours fester and stew beneath the surface, resulting in anger and depression deep down below the feigned happiness. We find someone else to blame, whether God or doctors or others, and resent them throughout our day. If we let it, bitterness then easily infects and destroys our lives. It tur...

Article - ARE YOU HOME YET?

Have you ever wondered why things are not what they should be concerning you? Why your heart has never had rest? Why you don’t seem to have had genuine peace? It is all because that part of God in you, that part that really matters, is not yet at home with the maker and owner! The bible says in Gen 2:7, “And the lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul”. Until that part that makes you a living soul returns home, you cannot be said to be living. In 1John 5:12, the bible says “he that hath the son has life, and he is Jesus Christ, and of himself he says in John 14:6. I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh to the father but by me”. So return today, receive and have the son, and your life will have a meaning. Maybe you already know the story of the prodigal son or you have heard about it before, in Luke 15:11-32, the young man strayed away from home and wasted his life i...

Article - Overcoming Your Fear

I am fascinated by the way lions hunt. I ’ ve read that it ’ s the lionesses that actually do the “ lion ’ s share ” of the work. The males are obviously incredibly intimidating, with their manes and their ferocious roars, but it ’ s the chicks you really have to watch out for. The fact that lionesses do not have a big, recognizable mane actually helps them sneak up on whatever they are hunting. They lie in wait, hidden in the tall grass, motionless like statues. I listened to a sermon by Pastor Brian Houston in which he said that the males do play an important, albeit small, role. While the females stalk their prey from behind, the king of the jungle will come from the front and let loose one of those roars that gives him his spot at the top of the food chain. This sound is so powerful it can be heard for up to five miles away. Hearing that terrifying noise causes the gazelle or antelope to run as far as they can away from whatever made that sound. What they don ...

Article: SELF APPRAISAL

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates” - 1 Corinthians 13:5)? Have you ever sat down to think about what people think about you? or how they think about your work, i.e. If its satisfactory or not? here is what little Tom did.  Little Tom who got regular pay for cutting the lawn of an elderly woman decided one day to prove whether he was satisfying his employer.  He went to a shop to phone the elderly woman, requesting to come and take care of her lawn. The woman replied that she already had an expert handling the job.  He insisted that he would do it free for her to show that he was better at such jobs, but the woman reaffirmed that she was very satisfied with her present service provider and had no need to try another.  Tom smiled at the other end having proved that his job was satisfactory. That was a self-appraisal by Tom....

MARRIAGE is like a Shoe...

"MARRIAGE is like a shoe. When you wear oversize, be ready to drag it along through out life, and when you wear under-size be ready to feel the pains through out life". One thing about marriage is that you don't drop your shoe or remove it at any point, no matter how painful or how stressful it is. That is why I thought it necessary to write you this letter. Dear Singles, When you are ready to buy your own shoe please take note of these three things: 1. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE : Do not look for the beautiful ones, the nice ones or the cheap ones. Look for the one that is your size. Not every handsome, wealthy or intelligent guy is for you, not every beautiful woman is for you. Look for the one that is meant for you, the one that aligns with your values and belief, the one who you meet at your life's journey. It is important to know where you're going in life before you think of getting a wife. 2. POSITION : All sizes of shoes are not placed in the sam...

DEVOTION: POWER PURSUIT

“The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power…” - Daniel 4:30)?  “Alexander the Great was a great warrior who conquered the world before the age of 30 years. He was sad that there was no land more to conquer.  He had control over all the wealth of the world. One of his sick bed wishes before he died at age 33 was that the wealth he had accumulated should be scattered on the road along the procession to the cemetery to let everybody know that material wealth acquired on earth will be left here on earth.”  Many youth seek after material things without seeking to be closer to God. They admire corrupt and godless people some of whom acquire power and wealth from demons.  Power belongs to God and only He can sincerely give us long life to enjoy a little of what we acquire on earth. The abundance of His kingdom is for those who live holy and serve Him now.  As you ...

Why Some Men Don't Forgive Cheating Wife

A married man might be hearing dirty stuffs about his wife and will keep his cool, but the day he catches her in the act, one way or the other, everything changes.  In her lone moments, 38yrs old Kolawole Busola, (real name withheld) would certainly wish she could undo the string of events that led her into the waiting arms of a bad guy Daniels, a colleague at work.  Married to a businessman, Babatope, 43, who travels frequently without much time for romance for their love and intimacy to grow, Busola still has herself to blame for what she has got herself into. How did she land in bed with the guy?  Her undoing was sharing her worries with a male colleague who she thought would offered wise counsel but he saw her as opportunity for free s*x. They became close and started going out together.  She did it so well that her husband never suspected anything. Not long after, their friendship became platonic (intimate and affectionate) and few months aft...

The Various Ways Sex can Kill - Sex Indeed Kills

Can a person actually die during sex? the answer to this is a YES. According to several studies conducted by leading doctors, medical and experts deaths during consensual sex account for approximately 0.6% of all sudden deaths.
