Every battle, big or small, holds value and significance, even if it seems less important compared to others’ struggles. Individual experiences of hardship vary in impact, and everyone’s battles are legitimate. Jesus’ compassion for both a dying girl and a suffering woman exemplifies the importance of recognizing each other’s struggles and resilience.
Life presents three states: in a storm, coming out, or about to enter. Trust in God’s promises, for He can change outcomes. Let His peace rule, as our anchor holds in life’s storms.
Age and Ministry: A Common Struggle We always hear, “Age ain’t nothing but a number..,” until you are in ministry. As a young person who has been involved in ministry for quite some time, someone constantly reminds me that I am “young (insert windblown emoji).” It annoys me to have that reminder as if I […]
Well, hello there! 👋 I know it’s been a while, but I have returned to share this word with you today. While sitting at dinner, reflecting on this season of my life, the word “SELAH” came to me. Some of us may be familiar with the word if we have read some Psalms. Some scholars […]

Today, I watched a video of a woman being healed from a disease that had her in a wheelchair for a while. This lady seemingly had perfect health before this happened to her, and no one would have thought she would have ended this way. Sometimes, we are at a point and time in our […]
Strong winds beating, ocean roaring, waves raging, fear is surrounding me. I have never ever experienced such a violent storm. I feel forsaken and isolated; where do I turn? I’m calling on Jesus. Can he hear me? I guess I’m all alone. Sinking in fear, I cried, “Master, Save me!” I closed my eyes hoping […]
“But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” [28] Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” [29] “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on […]
