    So Many Lambs, An Abundance Of Wolves, Too Few Shepherds

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 29, 2024
     | 1,114 views

    The events described in Revelation Chapter 6 describe the terrors that will come upon the earth. The lost are like sheep without a shepherd about to face this horrid time. We must bring them to Jesus before it is too late.

    Bible prophecy is not preached in a majority of churches today. The sad fact is that a lot of "churches" don't bother to preach from the Bible but are more than happy to cater to the unholy trinity of "me, myself, and I". They are in the business of people pleasing and ...read more

     | 21,750 views

    Have you ever felt as if your efforts were in vain, and questioned if you were making a difference? We find ourselves questioning God, and tempted to abandon the work. We are not the first to feel this way. God is able to provide the strength we need.

    Compelled to Continue Jeremiah 20:9 The life and ministry of Jeremiah was interesting to say the least. He is commonly known as the “Weeping Prophet,” and for good reason. His ministry spanned forty years in Judah, leading up to their captivity at the hands of the Babylonians. During his faithful ...read more

    Ask the Lord to remind you to plug into His infinite power, perspectives and resources whenever you are feeling any discouragement in your personal life, relationships or ministries.

    1. The Holy Spirit helps bring God’s purposes to completion in us and our ministries when we feel like giving up hope. Paul wrote, "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it onto completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (Phil. 1:6) Application: Trust the ...read more

    When The Strong Feel Weak: God’s Response To Discouraged Servants Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 465 views

    1 Kings 19 reminds us that even spiritual giants can feel overwhelmed. Elijah’s moment of fear and frustration did not end his ministry—it became a turning point. God does not abandon His servants when they feel weak; instead, He feeds, speaks, reassures, and sends them again.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 19:1-21 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 40:29-31; 2 Corinthians 4:7-9; Psalm 34:18; Hebrews 4:15-16; Matthew 11:28-30 INTRODUCTION: After the fiery confrontation at Mount Carmel and the dramatic ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Jul 28, 2025
     | 502 views

    The word “give” is a request. It implies that what we are asking for is not something we can manufacture ourselves. We are not demanding, we are petitioning God, acknowledging that He alone is our Source.
