Are You Still There?

Many believers struggle with prayer. Some find praying to God daunting or even uncomfortable. At some time, almost everone finds prayer difficult. Prayer need not be difficult at all. Given the right approach (or approaches), it is NOT praying that can become difficult and even uncomfortable.

Praying to the Heavenly Father is part of an ever-developing relationship. The content and form of our conversations with family, friends, and acquaintances change as our relationships change,… Continue

RENUNCIATION AND REPUDIATION

From My Perspective - - -

The process of renouncement occurs when one decides to – “to give up or put aside voluntarily; to give up by formal declaration; to repudiate; disown…” In this regard, the following article was published by BREITBART.COM entitled: “FOLLOWING ATHEIST TREND, BRITONS SEEK 'DE-BAPTISM'…” The summary of this action is: “More than 100,000 Britons have recently downloaded ‘certificates of de-baptism’ from the Internet to renounce their Christian faith.

Spiritual Warfare

Greetings,Fellow Christians! How great it is to have a place to chat with others who are living in the Lord! I am still what I would consider a "NEW" Christian,having come to the Lord only about 4 years ago. I am now married to a Christian farmer and belong to a very small,rural Baptist Church. My husband,Bob,and I are both new members of the church board. The January election of officers placed all new people in all the open positions,and I feel this was on purpose. This is a 200 year-old… Continue

My Testimony

I like everyone else was born a sinner, and I remained a sinner for well over 20years. In that time I have had my own experiences with the world and with the ppl in it.

The day I first really heard about Jesus and the sacrifice he made for all of us and start to believe it. I hadn't before, as I was taught he was a god of vengence and that made me run from him instead of to him. I found out that he wasn't a God of vengence rather he is a God of Love and compassion, kindness, not cruelty as… Continue

The power of thanksgiving. Written by Therese.

A week ago, this relative of mine called me on the phone, we talked for two straight hours, the only reason why we got off the phone because her legs got numb from sitting too long( she is an older person, and needs to know that Jesus took her place on the cross and soon) After we said goodbye to each other, I felt sadness, like depression came over me mixed with so many emotions that I did not want to entertain at all. I was alone, felt sooo sick and lost too, hard to describe, could not pray… Continue

REMOVING THE ROAD BLOCKS THAT KEEP US FROM GOD

“Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

He will bring forth your righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,

Because… Continue

Hello! Is anyone there?

Devotional of the week

Are there aliens? Simple: no. But why aren't there?

The Bible says that all creation is cursed by sin. God didn't want other life forms like aliens to be punished by Adam and Eve's sin. It wouldn't be fair and God is fair.

"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time." (Romans 8:22)…

the uninvited

One time, a wedding banquet was held in a small town otherwise known as a "barrio". Family members, relatives and close friends were especially present as the important guests . But when it was already time to eat, they were surprised to have seen so many uninvited ones also dining with them. In spite of that, the food being served was good enough to feed everybody including the unexpected ones. However, the hosts still couldn't help but vehemently react against the uninvited after the… Continue

DOES GOD REALLY LOVE US??

Christ in Our Place

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for… Continue

AVARICE AND INDIFFERENCE

From My Perspective - - -

To say, we are living in uncertain and strange times, would be sharing a gross understatement. On the one hand, we have a nation who failed to pay attention and was indifferent when avarice (the insatiable greed for riches; inordinate, miserly desire to gain and hoard wealth) was rampant; while on the other hand, overreacting and over-reaching with proposed budgets and expenditures that are beyond imagination or comprehension. A British Member of… Continue

The Blood of the Lamb

Revelation 12:10-11: “Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

Believers in Christ will not deny that the primary purpose of existence… Continue

Us & face so many trails and tribulations how can we not… Continue

Encouraging Testimony from Holy Spirits Workshop Nigeria

Just received this report - God is good a worker of miracles!

From Pastor Amos Oriakhi:

One day a sister who had lived for fifteen years in USA and Europe walked into my workshop and demanded to see me. She was ushered into my presence and she told me she was lured to Nigeria by her family and as she stepped into Nigeria, she suffered from amnesia (loss of memory). She became so sick from obesity that her weight prevented her from doing any domestic work and she… Continue

AT THE CROSSROADS

INTRODUCTION

In Jeremiah 6:16 the prophet Jeremiah wrote;

This is what the Lord says; stand at the crossroads and look; Ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it and you shall find rest for your souls.

It goes on to say that they would not walk in it and suffered the consequences.

I want to give you a few things to consider when you find yourself at those cross road moments… Continue
