Defeating Discouragement

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

A nationally known preacher told a group of men at a preacher’s conference that HE HAD NEVER BEEN DISCOURAGED A DAY OF HIS LIFE!

Listen, he lost all credibility with many of the preachers there, because that just sounded like it could not be true. Everyone has to battle some degree of discouragement at some time in life; I MEAN EVERYONE! The Bible tells us that there was none greater born among women than John the Baptist, ...read more

How King David Overcame Discouragement

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

A preacher who is nationally known made a statement before thousands of Christians. He said, “I never get discouraged!”

Now listen, I do not wish to be unkind, but I truly believe this man is being less than truthful to the thousands of people he was addressing. WHY DON’T I BELIEVE HIM? Some of the greatest men who ever walked on this earth have become discouraged from time to time. For example, the Bible reveals ...read more

Not All Is Lost

Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Mar 25, 2022

I was invited to minister at a conference this weekend. The Theme is, "NOT ALL IS LOST." I wondered why they phrased it that way, and why not "All is Not Lost,"

But when I continued to meditate on this I understood that this is what the Holyspirit wanted us to focus on. NOT ALL IS LOST! Do not rephrase or rearrange the sentence but pause, reflect and let it sink in NOT ALL IS LOST! Loss is one of the most devastating issues with no rules or plans. It ...read more

Be Encouraged Series

Contributed by Godday Osoba on Aug 3, 2023

Encouragement is something that you must build yourself with. You do not have to live in a world of hurt and doubt. You don’t have to live alone. You don’t have to weep in solitude.
