Unveiling The Mystery Of Unanswered Prayers

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Feb 12, 2022

Bible talks a lot about prayers. All of us would be familiarized with this famous quote of Jesus in Matthew 7:7. Ask, seek, knock then God will answer, and make things come your way. Sounds simple enough, but what about all those unanswered prayers in our lives?

Treacherous Enemies

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Feb 21, 2022

Life's journey is rough and tough with lots of potholes and bumps along the road. The Christian race is not easy, thorns and thistles prick the righteous along the narrow way. Treacherous enemies abound, smiling at you but waiting to stab you with sharpened knives.

TEXT: PSALMS 35:19-25 (NLT). 'Don’t let my treacherous enemies rejoice over my defeat. Don’t let those who hate me without cause gloat over my sorrow. They don’t talk of peace; they plot against innocent people who mind their own business.They shout, “Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we saw him do ...read more

Praying For God’s Will – Submitting To God’s Way

Contributed by Esther Collins on May 11, 2022

Often we pray for God's will, and hope things will work out the way we want them to. But in reality it's in submitting to His will, and willingly going His way can we experience God's perfect blessings.

When life is hard, and things don’t go as we planned we get discouraged. In times like these we go to God in prayer. As we pray fervently we hope that God will answer us the way we want Him to. We pray for God’s will to be done, and when we find that God’s will is not as we planned or desired, we ...read more

The Idols That Make Us Idle

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 7, 2022

I want to ask each Christian today two questions:

(1) Can the children of God sin? Yes! (2) Can the children of God sin and get away with it? No! Did you know the children of God are just as capable of sinning as they were before they were saved?

When Scars Remain Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 31, 2022

David set in motion many troubles from his sin with Bathsheba. He is forgiven, but the consequences of sin play out. Not all problems are a result of sin and we don’t usually see such a one to one correlation between our past sin and our problems but it is explicitly clear in King David’s case.

Fairytales are so uplifting. Prince charming rescues the princes and of course they live happily ever after. A lot of traumatic things happened to the princes before prince charming rescued her. The fairytale ending whitewashes the harsh reality of the remaining scars. Everyone has struggles. Yes, ...read more
