Pride is subtle. Many people are plagued by it without even knowing that they are. Pride has destroyed many great relationships and left many giants as dwarfs. I encourage you to kindly note the following, You are probably PROUD if: 1. you find it difficult to say thank you for a service you paid for. 2. you always expect people to greet you first. 3. you are always right. 4. the work is substandard when you are not the one that did it. 5. your goals offer little opportunities to others to grow and develop. Dear friend guard your heart. Shalom.

 "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord." - Proverbs 18:22 A wife is a treasure hidden that every man must find. Those that are favoured of the Lord find these treasures. Of all of God's creations a man can find nothing better than a good wife. For these reasons a woman should not propose: 1. It is against natural/spiritual laws. I agree that men are not superiour to women, but we all would agree that the man is the leader of the home. When a woman takes it upon herself to propose to a man she is simply usurping the leadership position of the man. The man charts the course not the woman! Moreover, it is the responsibility of a man to find and the joy of the woman to be found. What joy would there be for a woman who is the one doing the finding? (Joy I say, not ego!) This is not a fact but cannot be ruled out: "if a woman proposes to a man, he will soon find another he desires". 2. A man who cannot propose is not read...

A testimony is a statement of proof or evidence that something actually happened. Testimonies show the facts of the matter at hand, they reveal the truth of the whole matter as told by someone who has first hand experience of what happened and how it happened. Why do we share testimonies? 1. It is an expression of gratitude.  Testimonies show your acknowledgement of God's kindness. It shows that you value what the Lord has done. In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus healed ten leppers but only one returned with testimony. The others were ungrateful. When you hide what God has done, you are an ingrate! 2. Sharing testimonies is the number one assignment of disciples . "For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." - Acts 4:20. The only way people will get saved from the destruction that is coming is if someone testified of the Saviour to them. We never would have been saved if the early apostles had kept quiet; your neighbours, friends, loved ones etc ma...

The expectation of the enemy is that one will break down in tears and perplexity when faced by mountains. He employs the weapon of fear to weaken the bones. Brother FEAR NOT! Don't let the size of the mountain shake you. Battles are not won by size nor number, they are won by strategy and power. You have both the strategy and power on Christ Jesus. Don't succumb to the intimidating look of your mountains. Look that mountain in the eye and say to it "I cannot be intimidated!" David defeated Goliath. While the mountain before him was busy cursing and trying to intimidate him, David charged at him and removed his head. Friend it is time to charge! Enough of the insults you receive from these stones. You are a child of God. You have the power! Get your instructions right from above, cast off fear, charge at your mountains, release your slingshot and let God do the rest. Your mountains are coming down today!

The word 'but' stands as a resistance to an aforementioned proclamation. God speaks to all men that are willing to listen. When He speaks it is to bring us good news wrapped in instructions. Experience has shown that God's instructions are not palatable at first sight. Tithe for example is just 10% but many Christians today rationalize it away as irrelevant. When He told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, he would have almost gone erratic. That's how strong God's instructions can be. However, It is dangerous to say 'but' to the instructions of God. Instructions are to be obeyed not debated. Before God speaks He has seen the end, He expects you to follow to the letter what He says because He knows what's best for you. Also we must be careful not to speak negatively concerning God's leading. Don't speak of the storms speak of Him who rides upon the storm. In Numbers 13:27, the spies told Moses and the people that the land they saw was truly flow...

1. There is an afterlife. Even people that do not believe in God have an unspoken assurance within them that there is an afterlife. In the afterlife there are two destinations, good (heaven) and bad (hell). Jesus is the ONLY way to the good part. 2. There is  war in this life. Everyone is at war! War within, war without, war amongst, war everywhere. The enemy (devil) that we wrestle knows he has limited time to wreck his havoc. Our enemy is relentless and brutal, he has no respect for positions and titles, he works wickedness everyday. The only name he fears is JESUS, you need Jesus to win every war, have rest, peace and lasting victory. 3. Spiritual Fulfilment. Human beings are mere branches to the Tree (God). No matter how hard we try to satisfy ourselves with other things, there is a deep ache in our hearts if we don't have a relationship with God. Jesus is the only fulfilling link to the Father. Jesus is our spiritual lifeblood. If we are ever going shed the spi...

It is foolishness to weigh your eternal destination based on another man's righteousness. Many times we subconsciously look at another person and say "At least I am better than Mr so so..." On the last day the other man's righteousness will not matter to you because every man will be left to stand alone. "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." - 2 Corinthians 5:10
