LEARN TO WALK ON WATER

Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. - Matthew 14:25   REFERENCE Matthew 14:22-36   Sometimes, the journey of our lives get to a point (in the middle of it) when we are no longer certain about it; for everything around us becomes contrary to us and our voyage. This is the scenario we see in this passage with the disciples of Jesus. The wind that was supposed to aid their sail became contrary to them – threw them off balance and made them uncertain about getting to their destination. This...

THE LABOR ROOM – 2

A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. -  John 16:21   REFERENCE John 16:21-22   Continued from yesterday… The first thing you need to know about any pregnancy is that there is the possibility of miscarriage.

WE WILL NOT BOW – 2

Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”  Daniel 1:25   REFERENCE Daniel 3:1-25 Continued from yesterday… When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow, news got to king Nebuchadnezzar. Why? Because once you decide to stand for righteousness and not bow or compromise, you make enemies; people will ostracize and smear your name. Imagine all the thoughts Satan would have beleaguered their minds with as they chose to ‘stand.’ “How can you give up your...

And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth - Deuteronomy 8:18   REFERENCE Deuteronomy 8:11-18   If you must rise above the present financial situation in the world, you must make God your source.

Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts. - Proverbs 24:3-4 (TLB)   REFERENCE Proverbs 24:3-7   A number of us have things God has committed into our hands to build; however, many of us lack the wisdom to accomplish these things and so sometimes, our projects become abandoned or the final output at best is poor. But as the saying goes, “Anything worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” Therefore, in the next three episodes, we will be looking at how to build a quality...
