     | 4,175 views

    The signs of war, famine, pestilence, increased iniquity, loss of love, do not constitute a direct answer to the question of “the sign” of the coming of the Lord or the Rapture of the Church So, the question is What do we do Now – While we are Waiting.

    The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
     | 133 views

    God is not seeking experts; He is seeking the obedient. Following Him requires that we crucify our natural wisdom and embrace divine instruction. There is danger in depending on human intelligence to navigate spiritual assignments. Such a path leads to error, frustration, and loss.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…” (1 Corinthians 1:18) Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7, Romans 8:6-8, ...read more

    Seasons may change, but God remains ever faithful. In times of joy or sorrow, gain or loss, light or darkness—He is trustworthy. Your confidence in God must not be based on what you feel but on what you know of His character.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,374 views

    If we do not listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will allow our consciences to grow weak and get seared. The life of Lot and David will help us understand this better.

    In 1 Timothy 4:1-2, we read, “The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.” (GNT) Our ...read more

    God lovingly makes us new in Christ, freeing us from our past and inviting us to embrace our true identity as His beloved children.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a storm. Others carry a quiet ache—memories that sting, habits that hang on, hopes that feel thin.
