    based on 1 rating
     | 1,009 views

    When the men on the ship realized that Jonah was the cause for their serious predicament they asked him, ‘Why have you done this?’ May we as children of God not do anything that will dishonor God and be a hindrance to those outside the church.

    We read in Jonah 1:10, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" (GW) The prophet Jonah who received the word of God to go to Nineveh, disobeyed God, and undertook a voyage on a ...read more

     | 1,440 views

    As children of God we must be reminded that when people humiliate us or deride us, others may not be aware of the pain we go through, but the Lord who sees deep within, is mindful of all our hurts.

    Honor from God We read in Psalm 91:15, “When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.” (ESV) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, we will consider the life of a man named Jabez, to comprehend how the Lord can deliver us and honor us ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 10, 2025
     | 429 views

    God desires His children to live in abundance—not just materially, but spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically. This abundance is not about greed or materialism; it’s about walking in the fullness of God’s plan, provision, and purpose.

    Joseph’s Obedience Series

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jan 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,238 views

    Joseph is the unsung hero of Christ's early life. Through obedience, he impacted Mary, he impacted Jesus, he impacted the other children, and I think he impacted Jesus’ entire ministry.

    Sometimes there's words that we just don't like. Sometimes it's because of the way they sound. Some sound weird or sometimes they conjure up something kind of gross. One word that I don't like is the word ‘maggot.’ Really, if you think of maggots, is anything pleasant ever really ...read more

    Satan and his henchmen are out to steal from us. They are scheming illegal activities against us and our children. The thief comes to steal. Stealing is illegal, done by those who don’t pay attention to the law.

    God desires not only a Change in the Mind of His children at the time of conversion; He also desires a Mind that is Totally Renewed. The Reason evil spirits can work is that we have not been liberated entirely from a Carnal Mind.

    You Missed The Point

    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,642 views

    Why do we scold fathers on Father’s Day, when it is often that their children simply miss hearing their counsel. The sons of Josiah ignored their grounding in God’s word and the support of the Temple and misunderstood the value of hard work.

    The difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is that we honor our mothers but we scold our fathers. We talk of saintly moms, who wore their fingers to the bone to cook and clean and sow for us. We honor them for their industry, their mother wit, and their prayer life. And that is as it ...read more
