3 Reasons God May Allow Trials In Our Lives
Why God Allows Trials And Crisis In Our Lives So, first of all, I want to say that God created a perfect world, but we now live in a broken world because of the fall in the garden (Genesis 3). Because of the fall, we live in a world that is predisposed to evil, so God said that “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” (6:5 NIV) Humankind is naturally evil, and our hearts and thoughts are continually evil. Because of continual evil is why God…

What Exactly Does Matthew 6:33 Mean And How Can It Be The Cornerstone In Our Christain Walk
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet…

6 Reasons Your Prayers Might Not Be Getting Answered
Reasons Your Prayers Might Not Be Getting Answered We have all been at a place where we have prayed for one thing or another, and we have not received an answer from God – and this might be for various reasons. (If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11 NIV) Remember that God is a good Father who delights in giving good gifts to His children; with that said, He will not provide you with something that might derail you or harm you. Not to…

How To Become A True Believer In Jesus Christ And Faithfully Receive The Holy Spirit
To be a believer means – You believe Jesus walked on this earth as the Son Of God. (The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29 NIV) You believe Jesus preached the true gospel. A gospel of repentance of sins and turning back to God. (But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.” Luke 4:43) You believe Jesus was crucified and died on the cross and shed His blood for the atonement of sins. (There…

8 Bible Scriptures For When You Feel Discouraged
Bible Scriptures For When You Feel Discouraged We may all feel discouraged from time to time, even as children of God. But as we meditate on God’s word and pray them over ourselves, the fear, worry, and anxiety – God will take care of it – Our mind is a battlefield of good and evil, so I encourage you to dwell on the what is good. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Philippians 4:8 NIV) In Joshua chapter 1 The Lord was telling Joshua, Moses’ aide…

How To Pray To God Effectively | 7 Keys To Unlocking Your Prayer Life
How To Pray To God Effectively There are Christians who love God and desire to do God’s will, and God is pleased with them, but one thing that holds some people back is the lack of an effective prayer life. The Bible tells us to pray continually, and God wants to hear from us and establish effective two-way communication with us. Some people soon backslide when they feel like God is not answering their prayers or their prayers hit the ceiling and do not go any further. They backslide and look for other avenues to get their problems or requests met, but God is sitting on His Throne and waiting…

8 Life Lessons Christian Women Can Learn From The Epilogue Of The Proverbs 31 Woman
I have heard both men and women say that it is impossible to be a Proverbs 31 woman in this century when it’s all about feminism and women’s empowerment. I am a women’s empowerment coach but, I empower women to live according to the way God expects us to live out our lives as daughters of God; not like in today’s society where women’s empowerment means you don’t need a man; basically, you can do whatever a man also does. But, that is very wrong, and the enemy has corrupted the family unit and marriage and has reversed the roles of men and women. The Lord created marriage as a…

A Christian’s Perspective On Mental Ill-Health
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10 NIV) The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I hear in the news of many people committing suicide, from pastors to young children, which is not supposed to happen. Mental health illness is real, and it is not a respecter for persons. Anyone can suffer from mental ill-health. Often, people suffer from mental ill-health in silence, and they don’t reach out to anyone out of shame in most cases. What Is Mental Ill-Health? Mental ill-health issues affect a person’s thinking, feeling, behavior, and…
