RETURNING HOME “Then all the people returned to their homes, and David turned and went home to bless his own family” (1 Chronicles 16:43 NLT). There is a great need in our modern society to return home and give prominence to our family. Materialism and our fast-paced lifestyle has distanced us from our families and…
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (Isaiah 43:2 NLT). Do you remember the tests you use to have at…
DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CONSULTING WITH GOD “… David asked God, “Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” The Lord replied, “Yes, go ahead.

OVERCOME YOUR LIONS “… Another time, on a snowy day, he chased a lion down into a pit and killed it” (1 Chronicles 11:22 NLT). If you are like me and you have seen a lion up close, most likely it was at a zoo where the lion was in a cage behind bars,…

So the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse” (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 NLT). Saul didn’t have to die at such…
HOW TO RECOVER A PASSION TO LIVE “This is what the Lord says to Israel: ‘Seek me and live’…” (Amos 5:4 NIV). Many times, the human being fails to have a successful life because they stop seeking God. This makes me think about how sometimes we start to trust in our own abilities, education, connections with people of…
COME INTO AGREEMENT “Can two people walk together without agreeing…?” (Amos 3:3 NLT). Is it possible for two people to be together without agreeing? Of course. Does this mean that both of these people are walking and progressing without agreeing? I don’t think so. You can be with someone due to the circumstances, but…
WHEN YOU ARE THANKFUL YOU REMOVE PRIDE FROM YOUR LIFE “But when you had eaten and were satisfied, you became proud and forgot me” (Hosea 13:6 NLT). We human beings have the tendency to forget God when we are comfortable. When everything goes well, it is very easy to depend on our own abilities and…
WHO DO YOU KNOW? WHO DO YOU CONNECT WITH? “… He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring” (Hosea 6:3 NLT). Oh, if only you knew the Lord! Endeavor to know Him. While I was at the airport during one of my trips,…
