The Two Commandments: Love God and Love Your Neighbor

Image
  As we begin this New Year, let us examine  whether we have truly grown in these two areas of our life  1. Relationship with God a. How have we grown in our love and appreciation for God? True appreciation of God should fill us with a sense of wonder and thankfulness each day of our lives as opposed to an unthankful attitude (Romans 1:21).  Our thankfulness barometer should be full every day and our capacity to be thankful should be increasing every year. This thankfulness also extends to areas beyond our understanding – in everything give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18).  There are two roads in growing older each year: the road of complaining and depression or the road of thankfulness and cheer. b. How much more of God have we grown to know? Eternal life is knowing God (John 17:3). This growth is propelled by a desire to know Him and to seek Him. Unfortunately, in this temporal world it requires a quality decision to seek God which involves an element of diligen...

The year 2022 is ending and I just want to thank God for... The friends He sent to help me throughout the year. For all the people who cared for me and treated me as their family. For the people whom I called late at night. For the people who never stopped listening to my never-ending problems. For the people who helped me stand up. For the people whom the Lord used to provide for my needs. Thank you. May the Lord bless them all the days of their lives. The family . He has given me. Although we faced challenges this year. We could have shared joy and tears; I am forever thankful to the Lord for giving me a family like us. There were struggles, but I thank God for getting us through it all. There were unhappy times, but there were also joyful times. I hope and pray that God will continue to strengthen our bond as a family. May we possess the love that God gives all the time. The pain and hurt . I never really wanted to be hurt and to be in pain, but if that's what it takes for me t...

Seasons

Image
 All things operate by seasons and cycles (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 1:3; Ecclesiastes 3:1). This means that whenever there is a downturn in the economy, there will be an upturn again. Where there is a good season, one must then prepare for the difficult season. Cycles will always occur in everything – some are long, some are short, and we have cycles within cycles.  there’s a type of season that will affect everybody else on earth; believers or nonbelievers; Buddhist, Muslim or gay; it will affect everybody.  To those who are wise and access the knowledge both spiritual and natural, you will be able to discern the times. If you do nothing in the harvest season, you will have nothing left in the season of famine. There are also easily recognisable economic cycles of booms and recessions which wise business men would profit from if they pay heed to them (besides being aware of laws of wisdom and prosperity in the Bible and predicted prophetic events). It is not a very ...

HOPE - YOU'RE IN THE DOORWAY TO YOUR SEASON

Image
The year 2022 is an exciting year for me as it will be filled with a sense of contentment and survival. The reason is, that though you might start out on the journey alone, God is leading you to a place called Together. Being a part of a group that has a common purpose brings a sense of unity and helps you face challenges together. As Christians we are called to be examples of love and peace and the best way to do that is to share our lives with one another and build a community. Keeping this in mind, I hope that 2023 will be a year where each of you will find a place where you can be yourself and grow closer to God and fellow believers.  NEW SEASON INDEED! A person without food just experiences hunger but a person without a dream or a vision is without hope. People lose their will to live when they lose their dreams and visions. People without food or money will still find the way to live so long as their dreams and visions are burning within them but rob them of their dream and v...
