Read On

Thank God for a beautiful Sunday. Beautiful not only for the Word in church, or the worship in all the services, or the fellowship with friends at a party after church but also to know that God is good all the time is awesome. As we begin the week I want to encourage to know that you will make it in life. Know that nothing is impossible to one who sees the possibilities in every challenge they encounter.

Yesterday I dealt with the issue of time as a hinderance to our studying the Word. Not investing time in the Word causes one to lose their passion for the Word. Another cause of disaffection in our relationship with the Word is the Evil one. The enemy of our salvation also will do anything to hinder our intimacy with the Word. He walks about like a lion seeking whom to distract or devour.The enemy walks about lying to you and I. One lie is that the Word is boring. We have become so accustomed to movies and television that reading is hard. as our imaginations have been dulled out. We have no problems reading love notes from our friends but struggle to read the most potent love note ever written- The Bible.


This week purpose not to allow any forces of distraction to slow you down. Stop speaking of how hard or difficult it is to understand the Word. Read it, and watch God bless you. Do have a fruitful week abounding in the riches of His glory.

A better tomorrow

Everyone is hopeful for a better tomorrow. That's why we say "Good morning" at the start of the day as it's an indicator of the hope within that welcomes the dawning of a new day to bring better fortunes our way. God's mercies are new every morning and His compassion's do not fail Lamentations 3:22-23 . When faced with adversity it becomes harder to see a better tomorrow; but resilient people are focused on the fact that trouble is only a comma in the sentence of life. At a time where fear has gripped many hearts because of various reasons it is difficult to remain hopeful. Without hope you cannot have the faith necessary to live. Faith is the substance of what is hoped for Hebrews 11:1 . Faith gives hope tangibility. To be without hope is to open the door of low living. as hopelessness is the start of damnation in life. You and I were born for a reason. We are not just statistics, making up numbers in any particular nation. You and I were born to reign in li

The Tongue

Day 295 Reading: James 1:1 - James 5:20 Whilst reading the Bible in each book I have sought to look for one main thing that is a focal point. I am sure you will agree that it's not simple to do that as each book in the Bible has numerous teachings that God desires we understand. While reading the Book of James my mind had many thoughts of what to blog. However, as I thought and prayed about it I felt I should blog about the tongue. James in writing this letter warns the believer that many destinies have been ruined by the tongue. When this small part of the body is not under God's control the havoc it can do is great. Just think of the many dictators in history. Many rose to the place of prominence because of their words.   You taste food with the tongue, not the hands that bring it to your mouth. Your eyes may see a meal and it may look delicious but the tongue will reveal whether what you saw was great to taste or not. This is the same with words. How do your words ta

Lessons From A Parable

Day 259 Reading: Luke 14:1 - Luke 16:31 The thoughts that God has for you are too many to be counted. Jesus while speaking asked the disciples if they knew the number of hairs that fall off their head? Jesus told them that God is so interested in the minute details about us that He knows when one hair falls down. God is so detailed about our lives because He is good. When you embrace the goodness of God by understanding that God's love towards us is immeasurable. Whilst reading today's passages my heart was refreshed as I read a very famous parable featuring the prodigal son.   Jesus tells us of two sons and a father. The younger son asked for his inheritance and left home leaving the elder son and his father.  The younger went to a faraway land and wasted his life. He soon was dead broke, deserted by his new found friends and looking for a job. He soon was working for a farmer feeding his pigs. His job must have been so mundane with low pay as he ate the food the
