    Which will you extinguish: Hell's fires or Heaven's fires? Fire is important; but it must be the right kind. At a time when God's people were compromising & backslidden, Samson set an example of a man who fanned the flames of the Spirit and extinguished h

    Jesus is never late. He makes all things beautiful in His time. When it is someone's set time, at the very contact with Jesus, there will surely be a turn around testimonies that will leave a mark in the life of that believer. Surely, Jesus is the Lord of all.

    Psalm 102:3-5: 3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned like a hearth. 4 My heart is stricken and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread. 5 Because of the sound of my groaning my bones cling to my skin.

    Message: There have been many great fathers throughout history who are wonderful examples of self-sacrifice, commitment, leadership and strength. Men who were excellent role models for their children. But Jesus tells us that our Heavenly Father is the greatest of all because He is ...read more

     | 3,935 views

    In 2018 we will still have all the unpleasant human problems that plague the human race. We will each have TIME to touch the world around us with the love of the Father. Parts of the world that remain cold and dark still have time to know Jesus love.

    In the story of Esther and Mordecai, the events seem to perfectly fit together at just the right times for things to happen. Coincidence? Not likely. Though God is not mentioned by name in Esther, God was working in their lives and continues to work in ours today.

When we started, we saw that Esther and Mordecai just wanted to blend in — to be cosy in the Persian culture. Don’t ...read more
