When God Turns The Tables Around

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Jun 22, 2017

God can step in at anytime to change times, seasons and situations; He can arise and turn the tables around to favour His children.

Jephthah was born with a stigma. His mother was a prostitute. Even though there was a shroud of ...read more

Trial Brings Unspeakable Blessings

Contributed by Adewale B T Shittu on May 16, 2013

Beloved, God is a giver of blessings. God is conditioned to bless His own people. He has the liberty to bless whosoever He wishes to bless and He is a distributor of divine blessings. In Genesis 1:28, the word of God declared ’And God bless them and said, be fruitful and mulitiply and ...read more
