    Do not allow the enemy to trap you in the “why me?” Just remember who you are.

    If you remember, last week I mentioned that on occasions the believers tend to fall in the enemy’s trap; on occasions, the believer tends to fall in the trap of self pity, which in almost all instances causes them to deviate from God’s path. This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more

    So many people do not use one of the greatest resource that the believer has, and that is prayer. Do you think of prayer as something to use only in an emergency? Do you believe you have a better hold on your life than God could? Do you want any thing out

    James 4:1-3 Intro: Prayer, which allows the believer to communicate with God each day and at any time, is one of the most neglected resources we have in God. The average believer oftentimes considers prayer the last resort, only used when life gets out of hand. In this ...read more
