    A burden is a load. A burden can be a job or a duty. It can be a punishment or an inconvenience. A certain old woman was going somewhere with a heavy load on her head

    Matthew 1: 28–30 says, “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. For I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” WHAT IS A BURDEN? A ...read more

    Sometimes God doesn't make sense, sometimes he even makes us angry. But we have a God who loves us in the midst of our feelings of loss, or anger, or confusion.

    I Kings 19:9-21 “What are you doing here?” When it comes to things God might say to me, I can’t think of too many things I would like to hear less. When I finally get to heaven and look at the face of God and hear, “What are you doing here, Matt?” YIKES! ...read more

    Despite feeling alone, the child of God is never deserted. David enables us to explore the comfort of God’s presence with His people, even in the day of battle.

    “Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, ‘Seek my face.’ My heart says to you, ‘Your face, Lord, do I seek.’ Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my ...read more

     | 4,947 views

    When God seems to have abandoned us for a long time we need to trust, looking forwards and backwards to times of blessing, as David did.

    What is a long time? A year? Ten years? A hundred years? A thousand years? The answer to this question is ’it all depends’. We live in an increasingly impatient world; we want and expect everything NOW, just like spoiled children. I was like that on Thursday afternoon when I was in a huge hurry ...read more

    The spirit of Pharaoh is a destiny terminator. Pharaoh was the one that gave instruction that all male children of the Israelites must die and baby Moses was going to be eliminated but for God’s intervention.

    MY PHARAOH MUST DIE Dr. D. K. Olukoya The message for this week is a prophetic one. Let us look at few scriptures. In Exodus 15:9-12, we read about Pharaoh’s vow and the reaction of God Almighty. Psalm 18:37 also says, “I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again ...read more

    Knowing He was hours from being murdered, Jesus could have used His divine privilege to get out of what was coming, but He didn’t. His prayer in the garden teaches us how to pray in the midst of hardship and how to deal with unanswered prayer.
