    I am pleased and happy with weaknesses, insults, persecutions….said Apostle Paul, who would want to say such crazy stuff; however, if only we knew the ramifications of the insults and persecutions then I guess our prayer model would change.

    Insults & pain season 2 Corinthians 12:10”Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.” I am pleased and happy with weaknesses, insults, persecutions….said Apostle ...read more

    Pandemics, Politics, And The Judgment Of God

Receiving Him is the only way to ...read more
