Livin' Faith

Today's devotional continues to provide instructions for getting unstuck despite the challenging situations which may confront us.

Today's devotional is a prayer for God to sustain us on our journey.

Today's devotional contains a few tips to get you unstuck from the account of the impotent man at the pool of Bethesda.

God desires that all men achieve his promises for their lives. Sometimes they get stuck and find it difficult to move on and out of the predicament. The good news is that there's a time of release for everyone if we only attend to the voice of the Lord.

Today's devotional is a sermonette I shared during Prayer Mountain (3 days of prayer and fasting). My task was to share on the Inner Court. God led me to Exodus 24. I trust that it blesses your heart and produces the desired results.

In today's devotional, I continue the discourse on guarding your faith with particular emphasis on above-the-line behaviours in our relationships.

In today's devotional, I examine some positive action steps we need to take to continuously guard our faith.

Today's episode identifies practical steps we can take to guard our faith.

In today's episode, I take a deep dive into Colossians 1 to identify some foundations of our faith.

One of our most prized possessions is our faith. It should be guarded at all costs against the onslaught of the Devil. In this episode, I discuss some means by which Satan attempts to sift us.

There is a clarion call from Jesus for us to come after (chase/follow) Him. He promises that he will make us into a new person when we so do.

Drawing closer to God requires our sacrifice. It involves us denying ourselves of pleasures, rights and our resources. However, we should take heart because Jesus promises a return on that investment in this life and eternity.

Jesus has invited all of us to come to Him with all our cares and in exchange, we will find rest for our weary souls.

Today I am sharing a word the Lord has placed on my heart. Be blessed.

Have you ever been at a point in your life where you felt that your joy and strength are gone? Today's podcast recounts the faithfulness of God in those dark and despairing situations.

Today, I commemorate Thanksgiving, being reminded that it is good to give thanks to the Lord for his many blessings.

In today's episode, I discuss the steps we need to take to accomplish our vision.

Today, I am sharing some encouragement for those who may be struggling with finishing what they have started. God wants us to finish and to do so well.

In today's devotional, we continue our discourse on discovering our specific purpose in life through the lens of Genesis 1.

In this episode, I discuss the value of mentorship in the growth and development of an individual.

When God places a vision in our hearts, it often requires sacrifice and self-denial to see it come to fruition. Abraham and Noah made tremendous sacrifices to accomplish God's vision for their lives, and we are expected to do likewise.

If you have been asking why am I here, what's my purpose or why was I born, you are not alone. Knowing our purpose in life has been one of man's greatest quest and that's because God created us with purpose in mind, He was intentional and strategic in His decision making about you and me. In today's devotional I am beginning a conversation which hopefully will help us find our place in the earth.

Opportunities abound every moment of the day. Whether we take advantage of them or not is dependent on our outlook. If we are rain watchers, we will do nothing and watch them pass by, however, if we are risk takers we will take action in faith.

The Word of God is good medicine which when taken in small doses produces its intended results though you don't see, smell or taste it.

In this episode, I explore some gems I found in Psalm 34 which continue to underscore the importance of abiding in God.

We often face situations that make us feel hopeless. But God can breathe life into any situation. Don't give up, there's Hope in God.

While many may be overt in their worship of their respective deities some are more covert secretly venerating statutes, symbols, nature etc. Whether overt or covert, it’s one of those things which has broken man’s relationship with Jesus Christ. 

We are living in a time when witchcraft is being portrayed as good and fashionable. But is it really so or have we given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils? Should we consult mediums and fortune tellers? Let's take a biblical look at this practice to find some answers.

In today's episode, I have identified 7 additional principles for living from Deuteronomy 1.

In today's devotional, I explore the things which hinder us from taking possession of all that God promised us.

Mothers play a distinct role in raising their children. Quite often, more is caught from their lifestyle than taught. In today's devotional, I am sharing on some of the principles, values and characteristics I caught from my mother.

There is a loving God who cares for all types of branches regardless of their state of existence. His plan is good. It offers salvation and the hope of eternal life. Abide in Him, and you will experience the joys of His salvation.

God's ultimate desire for the believer is that he bears much fruit. To do so the believer must be willing to abide, this means dying to himself, his wants and desires to pursue Christ. The outcome? An abundance of fruit which will last long after he has departed the earth. Abide in Him!

Do you feel stuck in your career or ministry? Then, you may be a branch that's bearing more fruit. The challenge with this branch is complacency, comfort and self-dependence which hinder it from achieving its fullest potential. God's remedy for this branch is that it abides in him.

In our walk with God, we often become satisfied with a handful of fruit to our credit. God deems this to be an inadequate harvest, consequently, he applies the pruning shares to the character flaws and foliage in our lives so that we can bring forth more fruit. Pruning = prosperity.

Everyone called to be a fruit-baring branch. However, upon closer examination, we may discover areas where we are barren. What's the cause and how do we address those areas? Listen to today's devotional to find out.

Many of us have lost things that are precious to us and in doing so we lose our peace, become bound by depression or fraught with worry. But there's a Name that causes us to recover ALL, breaks strongholds and restores peace to our lives. Today, we speak the Name of Jesus!

In this episode, we focus on our sons and daughters and make declarations over their lives.

This devotional takes a deep dive into Nehemiah to speak the name of Jesus over our Government, Civil Society and Private Sector Institutions to bring about reform and transformation of our society.

There is an old adage which says when your neighbour's house is on fire wet your own.  We need to speak the name of Jesus over our country as we witness the calamities which have befallen nations across the globe.

Today's episode takes a look at the Spirit of Depression through the eyes of Elijah.

This devotional discusses the Spirit of Intimidation, its cause and its effects on our life.

This is my prayer for the nation and my life.  Lord, do it again! Let there be a revival in our cities, streets and nation.  Do it again, revive our relationships, families and lives.  Do it again, revive our giftings and let there be signs, miracles and wonders following your word when preached.  Do it AGAIN1 (Hab 3:2)

A person who lives a life of significance adds value to the life of others daily.  Jesus epitomised this throughout his life and ministry on the earth.  Are you adding value to the life of others? Let's make this our New Year's resolution.

Today, I am giving thanks to the Lord for His goodness.

Many of us have incorrect perspectives of God.  When we think of God, we see him as a fence or a ladder: we can never reach him or must work our way to get to him.  Others relate to the garbage can perspective - they believe God sees them through all the negative things in their life, and thus, they cannot be holy enough to meet him.  But God wants us to see him as the door to our lives.  The door that sets us free from past sins and ushers us into a new beginning with Him.

Note: John Maxwell is credited for the four perspectives: fence, ladder, garbage can and door. 

Every year around this time, I commemorate  two significant events, viz. Thanksgiving and the anniversary of my husband's passing.  As I reflected on those two events as well as the challenges of the past 5 months, I can't help but have a heart of gratitude towards God for his goodness towards me. Join me in expressing thanks to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

A word of encouragement to those who are bogged down by the cares of this life.

Did Ras. Shorty I get it right when he said that we are reaping the fruits of our actions?  Indeed, what's going on in our schools today is a cause for great lamentation and repentance. Did we as parents, influencers and society as a whole fail to bend the tree when it was young?

Staying in faith when the options are few is a challenge.  We often think that God won't come through for us.  The Bible presents us with the account of the Shunammite woman who received her son back from the dead because she dared to believe God's promise even when all seemed lost.
