I know sometimes it seems like you’ll never get to where you’re trying to go, But you’ll get there! Just keep going! Learn to look at how far you have come, rather than how far you have to go! When we have God leading the way, nothing will get in our way! Problems are intended to change our direction, Not our destination! If things don’t work one way, Try another way! Problems are NOT intended to stop us! Sometimes God just wants us to slow down, NOT give up! When the enemy tries to discourage you by telling you to…

Have you ever wondered “Why does God hate me?” If so, you are not alone. Here’s an open letter from one of our readers. I pray that you are encouraged.
How many times have we told ourselves: “I wish I could do this, But I know I can’t” or “I wish I had this, But I probably never will”? This way of thinking is our roadblock from mediocrity to greatness. We must eliminate mentalities of failure and adopt mentalities of success. Expect God to grant our heart’s desires, Instead of just wishing God will grant our heart’s desires. Switch from thinking, It shall be done to It’s already done! Prayer: Lord, Teach us to live in expectancy. Expecting nothing but Your goodness, Your blessings, Your favor! Your word says that…
A few months ago, I did a post on PURPOSE. If you missed it, read it here… (Are You Fulfilling Your Passion or God’s Purpose?) Many of you agreed with me, while many of you argued that one’s passion is indeed the same as God’s purpose. Bishop TD Jakes says: “You Shouldn’t Confuse Talent With Purpose”. Just because you admire something doesn’t mean it’s your purpose. Don’t let yourself be distracted by something that should be a hobby. If you, like me, enjoy music, that doesn’t necessarily mean you should be the one directing the song. Buy some CDs or…
I recall a conversation I had with a good friend of mine several months ago. Although we both live in different states, we would always call on each other in our time of need. She was experiencing her share of disappointments and just needed to vent. So when asked the question… “What’s wrong?” She immediately replied “EVERYTHING” . She said that she had just received a call from her dad, letting her know that her mother’s breast cancer had come out of remission. She began to explain to me that she was hurting over the recent breakup of her 7…
Lord, Help me to look at every trial, trouble, and tribulation as a blessing in disguise. I trust You! In Jesus name, Amen! Blessed is the man who trusts in You! ~Psalm 84:12
Lord, I thank you for your Mercy. No matter how many times I fall, You are always there to pick me up. It’s good to know that nothing I confess, can make You love me any less! In Jesus name, Amen! For the Lord, your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him. ~2 Chronicles 30:9
Lord, Today I pray for Modesty. Let my works be for Your glory and not for the praises of man. May everything that I do, be a reflection of You and not to glorify me. In Jesus name, Amen! Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth. ~Proverbs 27:2
Lord, I thank you for supplying all my needs; For opening my eyes to things, I didn’t even know I needed! Blessed beyond measures and grateful for it all! In Jesus name, Amen! For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. ~Matthew 6:8
I can’t count how many times I’ve heard someone say ” You should always hope for the best, but expect the worst”. I’ve said it a few times myself . I used to live by that saying actually! I’ve since then realized that such mentality is insulting to God. I know sometimes we don’t see a way out. It seems impossible! But we serve a mighty God, who can and will make a way, out of no way. When God is ready to bless you, make sure you’re prepared to receive it. Don’t miss the Best thing that could’ve happened to you because you’re only prepared to receive…
Sometimes we get upset when our friends and family disappear when we seem to need them the most. But don’t! That’s all a part of God’s plan. Sometimes we get too dependent on our loved ones that we forget that God is the only one that can “Make us or Break us”. He is the source of our blessings. Your loved one may be the resource, but without the source there could be no resource! You can always tell when God is getting ready to bless you, because He will start to remove people from your life. The people whom…
The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. ~Exodus 14:14 I know sometimes you want to crawl up in a corner and Pray to God that your problems just go away. But, that’s not exactly how it works! Problems are meant to be defeated, We should not be defeated by our problems. If God took away every problem that we encountered, every time we prayed, We would never know how it feels to overcome them. You can’t have a victory without winning the battle, just as you can’t have a testimony without passing God’s test. Instead of…
As a child, we all dream about what we would like to be as an adult. By the time we reach adulthood, that dream has probably changed quite a few times. What changes? Fear and Doubt! When we are children, we believe that nothing is impossible because that’s what we’re taught. As we grow older, we began to doubt our abilities and fear failure. We then began to set goals that seem more achievable. Some of us are stuck at a job that we dread to go to everyday because we are afraid to go after our passion.
Have you ever tried ignoring God? By that I mean, you pray for answers about a situation. But when God gives you an answer which is not pleasing to you, you convince yourself that it couldn’t possibly be the answer God wants you to hear. You continue to ignore His signs. That is, until you get that “Can You Hear Me Now?” moment. Years ago, I was working a job that required me to work weekends. So this meant that I couldn’t attend weekly services on Sunday. I prayed on the situation. I asked God to make a way for…
