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…

Preparing To Walk In Your Calling For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV) “For many are invited, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14 NIV) Your Call may come in a different way to the other person. The Lord deals with us in His perfect way and a unique language. My Call came when I was at the darkest point in my life, and my reality was bleak. In my depressed state, The Lord saw it fit to tell me that I have Work to do,…

The Plan Still Stands No Matter What
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) This Bible Verse is a beautiful promise that The Lord speaks over His children. But why does it seem as if a lot of Christians live lives that deviate far from this promise of God? Most Christians live from paycheck to paycheck and find it very difficult to live the life that God has planned for them. With everything that The Lord does, the enemy is also there to corrupt it; Let’s look at the first example of the…
