... each step by faith. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. It has been 7 months now that I have not received my salary, but thanks be to God, me and my family have never gone hungry especially my kids. They go to school daily, although their school allowance has been lessened, we can only afford about $1.25 for each of them that includes their fare, 2 recess (am/pm) and lunch, they never complained and they go to school faithfully. God has been feeding us, his hands can be seen working in our family especially at that time when we were abandoned with only $2 in my wallet, we have survived for two months, with food on our table daily and my 2 kids...

As Christians, we at times have bad thoughts about God that aren’t good. We think, “God can’t do this or that” or we get angry and mad with God that we begin thinking andspeaking negatively of Him. Sometimes the negative thoughts are so strong that it literally drains our day and controls our mind. There is encouragement for you today. God understands your battle; so much so that He’s given you instructions on how to overcome the bad and negative thoughts you have. Know that God’s grace is sufficient for you; that in your weakness God’s strength is made perfect in you. If you want to stop having bad thoughts you will need the strength of God to help you. Casting Down Bad Thoughts I encourage you to read, Romans 12:2 where it tells...

“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16; NLT). Never underestimate the power of prayer. Just because you’ve prayed for something 20 times or for 20 years does not mean your prayer went unheard. The manifestation of your prayer may not come when YOU want it, but if you continue to be diligent in your praying, you will see that God is an on time God. Let me tell you something….the power of prayer will turn the situation around and cause God to produce a miracle for you in the midnight hour. It will cause a shift in the atmosphere just when you were about to lose all hope. It will cause your enemies to bless you; it will bring restoration to your household and etc. Why? Because...

James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. This was the word God had impressed in my heart before my life went totally upside down, before me and my children got abandoned. There are days this thought enters my mind, "why did I let him come back? I'm still badly hurt, it's like I'm torturing myself." When I think back of the past, when my husband had left us already, I still have constant communication with him, then accepting him when he came home. Knowing myself who cannot forgive easily and who cannot forget, I ask myself why... it wasn't easy living with him now, it's never the same now as it was before... Then God will...

It amazes me how God speaks to His children. Today, I was feeling a little discouraged, feeling somewhat defeated but God knew just what to do to shift the atmosphere from discouragement to encouragement. God did something and as a result I begin to smile because I knew it was God telling me that He’s there, just have faith and don’t give up. As a result, I begin to think of how God speaks to us every day; I’m sure in many ways than what we know. I believe we as Christians forget that God in fact desires to speak to us daily– not just in His word but in everyday living situations as well. God wants to converse with you because the two of you have a relationship together–after all, what is a relationship without communication? As...

How many times have you taken it upon yourself to get things done when you knew God was telling you to stand still and/or wait on something? I’ll be the first to raise my hand in saying I’ve done so. Right now in my life, I’m in this place where every week my family and I are faced with the challenges. I’m in the process of looking for employment…but I’ve tried to take matters into my own hands, thinking that I’ll “help God” because I can’t figure out what He’s doing. Today, the very thing I placed my trust in to make some extra money was cancelled out. My first reaction was to panic and get upset. But you know what, after I prayed I am reminded that my help does not come from what I, ###, can do, but from what God can do (and we know...
