    No matter the magnitude of the problem that has led you astray from God's path, He is capable of turning things around. If we open our lives and affairs to Him, He will transform us and respond when we call.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,383 views

    Do not allow the enemy to trap you in the “why me?” Just remember who you are.

    If you remember, last week I mentioned that on occasions the believers tend to fall in the enemy’s trap; on occasions, the believer tends to fall in the trap of self pity, which in almost all instances causes them to deviate from God’s path. This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more
