Uriah’s Be Careful

Contributed by Samuel M on Jun 24, 2024

Uriah blindly trusted David because of his reputation and position, without discerning his intentions and motives. Uriah worked hard and had a good reputation at work, yet he died as a result of David's grave sin. Uriah’s only mistake was blindly believing David.

And David wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the [c]hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.” 2 Samuel 11:15 When a man of God is living in sin, he is more dangerous than Satan. Run away from a man of God who is living in sin; he is ...read more

The Power Of Praise

Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 30, 2024

Praise does not change God; Praise changes you! Praise does not give God a new outlook, but praise changes your perspective on what God is allowing for your life. Praise does not take away your troubles, but praise reminds you that trouble won’t last always.

God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025

Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more

The Prayer That Heaven Waited For

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Mar 5, 2025

There are moments in life when our prayers seem to echo in silence. Weeks stretch into months, months into years, and still, the heavens remain quiet. The story of Hannah beautifully mirrors the journey many of us face — a journey of waiting, weeping, and wondering if God is truly listening.
