    Making Your Life Fertile For The Seeds Of Miracles

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 26, 2025
     | 48 views

    Miracles are seeds before they are manifestations. Every prayer spoken over your life carries potential. The tragedy is not unanswered prayer. The tragedy is unfertile hearts. God is asking not whether you desire miracles, but whether you are ready to carry them.

Miracles do not grow in barren ground. Divine intervention responds to divine order. Many people desire ...read more

    IT’S DIFFICULT TO KNOW THE SOVEREIGN WILL OF GOD BECAUSE GOD'S WILL IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, AND THERE ARE SOME ASPECTS OF IT THAT WE MAY NOT KNOW RIGHT AWAY, AND MAY NOT KNOW COMPLETELY THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN.

    God is not scrambling about trying to work out His plan or make last minute corrections. When we fumble the ball or tragedy occurs, God’s plan has not slipped a gear. The tragedy is a part of God’s plan for our faith to grow and for His glory.

As a result of his experience as a convicted felon, Colson founded Prison Fellowship, now the world’s largest Christian outreach to prisoners and their families.
