  • Useless Can Become Useful

    Avoid childish ultimatums like, “even if my life depended on that person I would rather die than forgive them.” Avoid statements like, “we will only work together over my dead body.” Do not let today’s temporary anger cause you to make regrettable commitments of the future you do not know. Bear the pain and let it in time pass. Truly forgive as the Bible suggests. Forgiving them doesn’t mean they will evade punishment. Forgive them sets you free from carrying that issue in your heart. Forgiving them restores your relationship. Forgiving them will make the currently useless to be useful when they meet Jesus. Forgive and move on. It is difficult but nothing is impossible with God. Useless can become useful!

  • Do Not Be Intimidated!

    Bad employers and bosses intimidate workers. Business competitors intimidate others out of business. Bad marriages and relationships that are abusive are based on intimidation. Bad religions and faith keep people in by intimidation. It is not God’s will that any one of us should live in fear. Even God does not intimidate us, who else should? Do not be intimidated!

  • Whichever Way It Goes Don’t Lose Focus

    Whether your prayers are answered or not. Whether your dreams come true or not. Whether issues are resolved or not. Whether you experience a happy life or not. Whether lonely, single, and desperate or not. Whether in need or not. Whichever way it goes don’t lose focus!

  • Be Very Clear On Who Sent You

    Who sent you into that profession? Did you pray for God’s guidance or it was an arrangement and wish of your relatives? Who sent you to that relationship? Your desires? Convenience? Desperation? Or did you pray about it? Who sent you into that marriage? Unexpected pregnancy? Unemployment? Advancing age? Or did you pray for God’s will to be clear on that marriage? Be very clear on who sent you!

  • In The Event of Pregnancy, Parenting Begins Immediately!

    Bad parenting leads to poor adults and regretting senior citizens. Bad adults lead to bad marriages. Bad adults lead to poor leaders and society. Regretting senior citizens, bad marriages, bad leaders, and a bad society are a recipe for unprecedented disaster. Where did it all begin? Bad parenting. We, therefore, need to fix parenting as soon as possible. In the event of pregnancy, parenting begins immediately!

  • Don’t Let Success Ruin Your Next Agenda

    If Jesus had stayed and enjoyed the success of the previous day, He would have become a village hero, yet He was destined to be a national hero then a global hero. There are many village heroes who would have become global heroes, but they stayed in the village to celebrate one success. Success ruined their entire agenda. Village success distracted them from national and global pursuits. Don’t let success ruin your next agenda!

  • After What? He Did What?

    Under normal circumstances, we expect that Jesus should have made a statement to condemn the imprisonment of His innocent cousin and partner in ministry. Jesus did not. Jesus should have gone to comfort the family or send some emissaries to the prison. Jesus did not. Jesus should have hanged around Jerusalem to see how things unfold, perhaps His help may be needed. Jesus did not, in fact, He went away to Galilee to preach, far away from the prison. After John was imprisoned, Jesus went away to Galilee to preach the Good News of God!

  • My Love, I Need To Know More About You

    A person who is in a relationship should not be wandering about as if they are single. There is a mannerism associated with someone who has found a loved one. The lady tells the man, I should no longer conduct myself as if I am available to any other person. Therefore, I should know more about you and when I come out I come straight to you. This is why I need to know more about you. My love, I need to know more about you!

  • The Biggest Risk That Very Few Cover

    There are many arguments on whether Christians should buy insurance covers. Some argue that it denotes a lack of faith. The argument gets much more serious when it is a life that is being covered. Insurance should be understood not as a way to prevent bad occurrences but to ensure when they happen, we can recover and move on. What is the biggest risk that you should cover?
