“……He walked on the water, to go to Jesus” (Matthew 14:29).

When you quit trying, that’s when you enter into the statistic of the failures. Failure […]
“….and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day” (Gen 18:1) Downtime is the moment when the body is winding down and the brain is less-stressed. It’s the time when the body craves for a little bit of “treats” and pleasures (Isa 22:13). While God does not condemn but commend time […]
“……let thine eyelids look straight before thee” (Proverbs 4:25) At the backdrop of every success story you’ll find sacrifices made to fulfil a set out dream.

“….thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church…..” (Matthew 16:18) It’s unfortunate that we dehumanise inmates of Correctional centres by calling them all manner of names whether they justify their punishments or not; whereas everyone at one stage or the other had engaged in breaking of the law but the saving […]
“….it is even a vapour that appears for a little time and then varnishes away”. (James 4:14) Has it ever occurred to you how time flies?
