On our first date, my husband said to me; "I will marry you" and we both laughed it off :)

But in order for that statement to materialize, we spent a lot of time talking and getting to know each other over the course of time. The more time we spent together, the stronger our relationship grew.

And we never stopped talking to each other even after we got married. Because we still spend time together and actually talk to each other, our relationship keeps on growing stronger daily. Really - In order for any relationship to keep growing, you must talk and keep spending time together on a daily basis.

As a Christian, your walk with God IS a RELATIONSHIP which must be nurtured into growing stronger daily. Prayer is basically talking to God and devotion is your intimate time with Him. When you faithfully combine prayer and his word together, awesome things begin to happen.

Daniel 6:19-20 states;

"Very early the next morning, the king got up and hurried out to the lions’ den. When he got there, he called out in anguish, “Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God, whom YOU serve so FAITHFULLY, able to rescue you from the lions?”..

Listen to the question again my friend:

"Was YOUR God, whom YOU serve so FAITHFULLY" ABLE to rescue you from the lions?"

Oh we KNOW our God is extremely ABLE!

But before we can expect God's ability in our situation, we must make sure we are serving him FAITHFULLY! God rescued Daniel because Daniel was a faithful servant. If you're wondering why God hasn't showed up yet in your situation, ask yourself these questions;

"How is my SERVICE to him?"

"Am I serving God FAITHFULLY? Or

"Am I wishy-washy in my daily walk with him?" "How's my RELATIONSHIP with him?"

If your answers are negative, it's not too late, YOU can still turn it around. #TalkToGodDaily.

May God continue to bless you and your families!

Abraham asked God questions about his decision to destroy Sodom. Habakkuk also asked God if he would really use a nation like Babylon which is even more wicked than Judah to correct Judah. David asked God lots of questions too! As a child of God, It is OKAY to ask God questions. Bible says in James 1:5-6,

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in FAITH, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind"

When you have an intimate relationship with God, you can easily and very candidly ask questions and express confusion with him.

It is OKAY to admit the fact that we don't have all the answers, that we don't know it all, that we are not in control and then ASK God for wisdom, direction and insight.

But before you ask God any questions, you must first learn to TRUST that God knows what he is doing. You must KNOW that God's GOT THIS! You must refrain from doubting him - especially when you don't understand him.

Habakkuk, Abraham and David didn't always understand God's ways and things didn't always workout the way they would like, but they still rejoiced in the Lord and TRUSTED his WORD, wisdom and direction.

Let's all learn from these great men of God. Let's ask God questions and trust Him along the way. Let's depend Only on God.

May God continue to bless you and your families!

When God decided to make Saul King over Israel, he told the prophet Samuel that He will send a man to him from the "land of Benjamin" to be anointed by him as King over the people of Israel. The problem was that Samuel and Saul had never met. They didn't know each other. So God made Saul’s father's donkeys wander away, causing Saul and one of his servants to go search for the missing donkeys. When they couldn't find the missing donkeys, Saul’s servant (not knowing God was using him to accomplish something awesome for his master Saul) made a suggestion in 1 Samuel 1:6 "he said to him, “Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go.”

The servant was referring to Prophet Samuel. So they went to see Samuel.

You see, God USED the search for the donkeys to LINK Samuel and Saul up - just as he had planned. 1 Samuel 9 tells us how God ORDERED Saul’s steps right into his destiny.

As you begin this beautiful month of October, I pray that God will ORDER your steps right into your destiny - HIS PLAN for your life.

May God continue to bless you and your families!

When I was informed couple of weeks ago that a very nice lady had passed away, it broke my heart especially because I knew the lady personally. But it wasn't until I watched her from a short distance at the funeral home laying inside the coffin that her death hit me even harder, because hearing is one thing and seeing is another level altogether. My heart was crushed. I started remembering the first time we met, how we hit it off at first, I remembered Stephen and I hanging out with her at our place and eating tilapia. But then I also remembered a disagreement that separated our growing friendship. I remembered that things weren't the same after we mended fences. And that broke my heart even more. I couldn't handle the funeral scene - it was too much. This lady's death got me thinking about life. Life is extremely SHORT. None of us can guarantee our fate. ONLY God can guarantee our fate.

I wish God would've granted my friend a few more years - at least to raise her little boy. But Yahweh knows best. Our fate lies solely in HIS hands. James 4:14 says;

"Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away"

My dear friends, Repent and have a personal relationship with God, humble yourself, don't throw your weight about, don't hold onto unnecessary drama, don't hold grudges, forgive your offenders, be merciful to others just as Christ has been merciful to you, help others in need, quit the gossip, quit the backbiting, quit hating, and most importantly LOVE MORE and ENJOY LIFE. None of us know when God will call us home. Don't wait until a love one dies before you start wondering what you could've done differently. May God continue to bless you and your families!
