Merry Christimas!



Not everyone is looking forward to celebrating Christmas just like the others. There's going to be an empty seat at their table now.

Some with an empty space under their Christmas tree.

Some with wet pillowcases and broken hearts.

It's hard for some people to celebrate this season, so my prayer for today is that we might be more sensitive and show compassion, comfort and understanding to those struggling.

To those of you seeing Christmas as a time not of joy but of sorrow and in grief, this is my prayer for you:

Lord, thank You for understanding those who are hurting right now. It could be because of loss, illness, lack, or brokenness. We know that tears are more than enough to communicate with You.

Thank You because You are the God of Comfort, the God where they can cast all their anxieties because You care for them. Help them see that You are with them, not rushing their feelings and never pressuring them to do more than what they can at this time.

You said in Your Word that you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. Lord, may You help them to trust You even more even at their most difficult times.

The darkness cannot overcome the light You shine in the darkness. Thank You Jesus, their weeping isn't final, but Joy is, because of You.


“For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Isaiah 9:6 


And if you don't have a "Merry Christmas", remember that Christmas is for the weary, too.

Jesus came for the lost, tired, burdened, unfaithful, broken, sick, sinful, and incomplete. May this season remind you that Jesus came for you.

If you don’t feel like you have much to give this season, remember that….
Love is free. 
Giving your heart is free. 
Being kind is free. 

God bless!

150 Years From Now

  150 years from now, none of us reading this post today will be alive. 70 percent to 100 percent of everything we are fighting over right now will be totally forgotten. Underline the word, TOTALLY. If we go back memory lane to 150 years before us, that will be 1872, none of those that carried the world on their heads then are alive today. Almost all of us reading this will find it difficult to picture anybody's face of that era. Pause for a while and imagine how some of them betrayed their relatives and sold them as slaves for a piece of mirror. Some killed family members just for a piece of land or tubers of yam or cowries or for a pinch of salt. Where is the yam, cowries, mirror, or salt that they were using to brag? It may sound funny to us now, but that is how silly we humans are sometimes, especially when it comes to power or trying to be relevant. I remember those days in my secondary school, how some people fought and did so many unimaginable things just to have their names...

He came to set the captives free!

  Excerpt from: He Came to Set the Captives Free Author: Rebecca Brown, M.D.     Elaine became one of the top witches in the U.S. and almost killed Dr. Brown before turning her life over to Jesus Christ. This is a shocking exposé of satan's activities in Christian churches and a manual on how to fight back.                 For 17 years Elaine served her master, satan, with total commitment. Then she met Dr. Rebecca Brown, who served her master, Jesus Christ, with equal commitment. Elaine, one of the top witches in the U.S., clashed with Dr. Brown who stood against her alone. In the titanic life and death struggle that followed, Dr. Brown nearly lost her life. Elaine, finding a power and lover greater than anything satan could give her, left satan and totally committed her life to Jesus Christ.     From the first moment she crossed through the doorway into that building, she sense...
