    Elijah was a mighty man of God. He stood like a stone wall against idolatry, and he was not afraid to speak truth to power or tell the people what they needed to hear.

    February 11, 2023 The bible tells us Elijah was from the town of Tishbe, but we don’t anything about his background or who his parents were. His name means, “Yahweh is my God,” and he certainly lived up to his name, standing in sharp contrast against the idolatry of the day. His primary ...read more

    To go forward means to proceed or continue. My prayer for you is that you will successfully put to use all the tools that the Lord has given you to go forward and reach your destination in life, in Jesus’ name.

    Every goal in life is ahead of us, and we need to go forward to reach, attain, or obtain it. Remember the word of God affirms that God’s divine power has given us everything that pertains to life … (2 Peter 1:3). Now, let’s see how Prophet Elisha depicts how to go forward in life: Elisha (2 Kings ...read more
