Doubt

 The human nature is in way wired to test something if it's working perfectly before laying hands on it for further work. No wonder the Bible also says:, except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. John 4:48. But as children of God, we no longer have this nature in us(the fleshy, human and carnal nature). As soon as we accept Christ, we now have the nature of Christ in us. Why? Because the spirit of the Lord lives in us, therefore we have the mind of Christ. ❗ No wonder, Thomas, a disciple of Jesus; one of those that was very close to Jesus while he was here on earth still doubted Christ when he resurrected. (John 20:24-28, Matthew 28:17). ❗ Matthew 14:31.

They write as inspired by the Holy Spirit and over the past twelve months, we've had contents ranging from letters to poems, non fictions, feature storie...

Oh Absalom (3)

Man after Gods heart sir, you didn’t handle this one well. A war was brewing in your family, yet you were silent about it. Or did you think that silence means consent? Oops.  Leaders everywhere would do well to always take appropriate actions whenever wrongs happen. The offenders must be corrected as deemed fit, though in love with recourse made to the offended. That they have the ability to forgive does not mean that the issue should be swept under the carpet and forgotten. Such winds later come back to shoot in the leg and can end up becoming ticking time bombs. “And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? Hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house… AND ABSALOM SPAKE UNTO HIS BROTHER AMNON NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD: FOR ABSALOM HATED AMNON, BECAUSE HE HAD FORCED HIS SISTER TAMAR” (2 Sam 13: 20-22) Prince Absalom, you kept all this in your heart and did ...
