Life often brings moments that leave us feeling unsure and unsteady—those seasons of waiting, wondering, and searching for clarity. During such times, it can feel as though we are standing in the middle of a storm, unsure of which way to turn. But there is hope. “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 This verse reminds us that even when life feels uncertain, God’s guidance is unwavering.  Trusting Him does not require us to have all the answers; it simply asks us to let go of control and lean on the One who sees the bigger picture. God’s Promises in Action A few months ago, I faced a season of uncertainty in my own life. I didn’t know how things would unfold, but I made a decision to surrender my fears to God. Day by day, I experienced His peace. Doors I never expected began to open, and I was reminded that His timing is always perfect. Allow ...

The Rose of Sharon is a title used in the Bible, found in the Song of Solomon (2:1), where the bride, representing the church, says: "I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." This beautiful image evokes thoughts of purity, beauty, and spiritual renewal. But what does this title really mean, and why is it significant to our Christian faith? The Symbolism of the Rose of Sharon In biblical times, the term "Rose of Sharon" referred to a flower found in the plains of Sharon, a fertile area in Israel. However, over the centuries, scholars and theologians have linked this title to Jesus Christ. He is often seen as the "Rose of Sharon" because He represents beauty, grace, and a divine love that blossoms in the midst of challenges. A Symbol of Beauty: Just as a rose is admired for its exquisite beauty, Christ is often described as a beauty unmatched by anything on earth. His love, compassion, and sacrifice make Him a "rose" in a ...

The phrase "Balm of Gilead" is often heard in hymns, sermons, and even everyday conversation, but what does it really mean? In the Bible, the balm of Gilead was a rare and highly valued ointment known for its healing properties, sourced from the region of Gilead. This potent balm becomes a profound metaphor for the healing and restoration that Christ offers each one of us.  The Origin of the Balm of Gilead The balm of Gilead appears in the Old Testament, particularly in Jeremiah 8:22, where the prophet asks, "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?" This ointment was derived from a resinous plant, prized in ancient times for its healing power. Situated east of the Jordan River, Gilead became known for this valuable product, which was used medicinally and symbolically in Israel’s culture. The Symbolic Meaning of the Balm In the context of Scripture, the balm of Gilead represents God’s capacity to heal the wounds of His people. Jeremiah’s ...

We’ve all heard the saying, “Home is where the heart is.” But for Jacob in the Bible, home wasn’t just where the heart was—it was where he had a life-changing encounter with God. That place? Bethel. Let’s rewind a little. Jacob wasn’t exactly a saint when he stumbled upon Bethel. He was running away from his brother Esau, who was understandably mad after Jacob tricked him out of his blessing. So here’s Jacob, tired, scared, and using a rock for a pillow (because that’s apparently a thing back then). In the middle of his mess, God showed up. Cue the famous dream: a ladder stretching to heaven, angels ascending and descending, and God Himself standing at the top, promising Jacob that He would never leave him. Bethel wasn’t just a pit stop; it was the place where God turned a fleeing, fearful Jacob into the carrier of a promise. It’s funny when you think about it—Jacob went to sleep with a rock under his head and woke up with a revelation over his life! What Does Bethel Mean f...

The song September by Kirk Franklin is a dope tune 👌🙌 Right?.... Riiiight?  🎶🎶 Do you remember twenty-first night of September? Before you go cold like December And all you saw a cloudy day  And I remember that day when you surrender You start turning 'cause you remember The season it won't last away  Ba de ya, tell me you remember Ba de ya, and your heart felt like September You still had the joy and God was just a prayer away...🎶🎶 Okay y'all feel my energy rynaaa (Right now for those who don't speak slang 😁😂😜) Anyway, September is a month that signifies: Newness, Freshness and rejuvenation.. In the cycle of seasons it opens the way for Fall or Autumn Depending on the side of the hemisphere you come from 😁. All I wanted for September this year was for the Month to go smoothly. I remember writing on my WhatsApp Status: September, Be Kind 🍁🍂... And I can truly testify and Say that it has been a month of refreshing. And I say with Confidence that ...

2020 is looking very different from how alot of us envisioned it. The world is facing a Pandemic by the name Covid19 and to say it has wrecked havoc would be an understatement. This virus has caused the deaths of thousands and counting.. And infections are on the rise everyday. It is a sad and scary state of affairs. Humanity is going through it! It is times like this that many question their faith.  We get to a point where we ask 'Father can You Hear us? ' Faith has been shook (sic) and may of us have so many questions. Even I am going through some turmoil and I have questions too. But I remember that in the Bible, there were tough times too, yet the Lord delivered to his people Victory. When the Israelites faced deadly serpents, Moses lifted up a Bronze Serpent and All who looked upon it were healed. ( Numbers 21:9)   When they lacked food in the desert , The Lord Provided Manna. (Exodus chapter 16) In the new Testament, When Jesus was with His disciples at Sea, a Storm came...

2 Chronicles 20:20 King James Version (KJV) 20  And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

This is A Scripture that has been on my mind for the last couple of days. May it Bless you too A psalm of praise. Of David. 1  I will exalt you,  my God the King;      I will praise your name  for ever and ever. 2  Every day I will praise  you      and extol your name  for ever and ever. 3  Great  is the  Lord  and most worthy of praise;      his greatness no one can fathom. 4  One generation  commends your works to another;      they tell  of your mighty acts. 5  They speak of the glorious splendor  of your majesty—      and I will meditate on your wonderful works. [ b ] 6  They tell  of the power of your awesome works—      and I will proclaim  your great deeds. 7  They celebrate your abundant goodness      and joyfully si...

There is a song I cannot seem to get off my mind. It's called Even here by Beka Dawn Ft Allan Sucre. The Chorus goes like this:  Even here Your Name is Healer, Even here You are still Good, Even here I will exalt You, And lift up praises as I should For even here, Your Power is greater I will choose to glorify, The Power of Your wisdom, Though I live or though I die, You ways are perfect, Your Name is Healer And You are Good. These words are a reassurance to me that even in this season where it looks like there is no light at the end of the Tunnel, That God is still in Control.  It is a reminder that even when a situation in our life is bleak, we should not give up, but should continue to hold on to the promises of God for they will come to pass.  I am reminded of a verse we all love; Jeremiah 29:11 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. My encouragement to us...

The Year is the 2nd Month already! Time sure does fly by quick! For some of us This Year has started out great, and I also know that for some others, it has not been a smooth Year this far.. This Season I have been thinking the words from the Song ' Not Forgotten' by Israel Houghton & New Breed. I am not forgotten I am not forgotten I am not forgotten God knows my name. He knows my name. Many of us when a Year ends, and we have not achieved what we had aspired to at the beginning of that year, we tend to think that God has forgotten us. However, that is not the case, Coz this God we serve is a good God, He does not forsake His Children. In His  Word He says:  Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. - Deuteronomy 31:6 And I have been through the motions myself, when a Year ends and I have not achieved any goals I had set, But God reminds us th...

Faith sometimes is a Word I do not know how to define. There are times I want to go with the Definition in Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.(KJV) Because it is indeed Seeing things that are not yet here. Seeing dreams come true Seeing myself fulfilling my purpose and finding my path in this road to life. BUT There are those days when I simply cannot put meaning to Faith , this is especially when things just do not work out. When I have applied to several companies and have not got a call back or Job offer, When I have  had to drop out of a school just when am at the halfway mark because I do not have school fees, When I have had to go without even the simple pleasures of life just because I cannot afford to spend an extra coin, or even have a coin to spend... Oh those dark days, when the Word Faith only goes to injure my confidence  as opposed to let me se...
