Abba means endearing, loving always accepting, non-rejecting one. A father gives bread, provision for his children. He is always looking to ...read more

Apostle Paul writes to Timothy, (2Timothy 4:7) "I have fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith.” Let us today learn very ...read more

    Jonah prayed wrong and selfishly because he did not understand the heart of God. Jesus set the example and taught His disciples how to pray. If we align our lives to God’s will and pray accordingly there will be great transformation in our lives and in that of those around us.

    We read in Jonah 4:3, “Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” (ESV) As we continue to study about Jonah, there are numerous lessons we have picked up already from the events that transpired in his life. The people of Nineveh repented at ...read more
