Read: Psalm 91  Hello Friend! Have you ever found yourself in a place where you felt so scared and almost so sure that something bad will happen? A young woman narrated a story of how she got lost after a ship wreck, that she thought she would never be found. How would it feel to find yourself somewhere far away with no way to reach anyone who knows you? To think of it is quite scary, right?  Many things in this life can be scary, and there are many risks we take in life. Stepping out of your house everyday can even be a risk, because no one knows what lurks out there. But as children of God, we don’t live in fear, but live  everyday with the assurance that God is always with us and He is always watching over us. The book of Psalms 91:11-12 says that,  “For He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.” Isn’t that so reassuring?! In today’s publication, we are building our ...

Read: Hebrews 11 Hello Friend! What is the most impossible thing you think can never happen? Or what is something you pray for, but deep inside, you think it’s very unlikely to happen? Have you ever wondered why it’s easier to doubt than to believe? Life often presents really big challenges to us and sometimes, we give in because our minds have been limited to believing some things can not happen. We often get carried away with disbelief, forgetting that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).  Why is it that it is much easier to doubt than to believe? Have you also wondered why it is easier to believe that bad things will happen, rather than accept that good things will happen? The Bible also makes us understand that as a man thinketh in his heart so, is he. Directly or indirectly, we can say that we are a product of the level of faith we have and the things we believe and accept in our lives.  Today, let’s decide to step out of our comfort zone where we ...

Read: Psalm 23 Hello Friend! What does a reassurance feel like for you? The Bible is full of reassuring scriptures that remind us that no matter the challenges around us, we are never alone.  When you are afraid “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you  up with my victorious right hand.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ ‭ When you are worried “When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94‬:‭19‬ ‭‬‬ When you are in need “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭‬‬ When you feel sick “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right.

Read: John 16:33  Hello Friend! Have you ever been so deep in a problem that you don’t know what to do or who to tell? It eats you up slowly and you can’t even tell anyone. The worst thing is when you are with people, you pretend to be okay, but when you are all alone, you begin to cry again. Many situations in life are like storms, causing pain, discomfort, anxiety, and even depression; but we have assurance from God’s word that He has not given us the spirit of fear! We are not afraid of tomorrow, not because we have it all put together, but because we know that God is for us and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding comforts us on every side.  In today’s prayer edition, we are encouraged to pray some heartfelt prayers, even as we trust God to hear us and give us the peace our soul longs for. May we have a peaceful end of the month and the start of a new one in Jesus' name. Amen.  Keep in Mind  When you focus on God, you see more of solutions and less o...

  Read: 1 Thes 5:16-18 Hello Friend! How would you feel if someone told you that the project you had spent all your time and resources to work on got rejected? It can be hard to keep rejoicing or stay thankful when things are very bad, but it is not impossible anyway, and the Bible shows us how. Today’s publication is a reminder to have a positive attitude towards life, no matter how things are going. There are three ways we can learn to start changing our mindset and I pray the Holy Spirit fills us with more wisdom concerning this topic. Keep in Mind  “ No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!" — Joyce Meyer Prayer Dear God, thank You for my yesterday, today and tomorrow. I believe that my life is in Your hands and ...

Read: John 14:26 Hello Friend! How do you feel when you are being pressured to do something you know is wrong? or h ow do you feel when you do something you know is wrong and have always been careful about? These two scenarios are moments of weakness; sometimes we can't even tell anyone how we feel. But the question is, what can I do? What can you do? On a cold, solemn night, Judas sat lonely in a corner thinking of all that had happened. The guilt that gripped his heart was so firm, that it was gradually choking the life out of him.  He could hear two voices from different parts of his head and the more he tried to stop them, the more it felt like he was going crazy. “Just one moment of weakness that you shouldn’t have allowed and now you’re in this mess. What even came over you? What were you thinking? Do you even have a conscience? How could you do such a thing, something like that has never been heard of, do you even know the terrible record you just made? This story will be to...
