Unfortunately, we still have people who speak against God’s chosen vessel. They may do it in secret or openly. They do this for reasons such as age, race, status, envy, or even because they are from a different denomination of worship. However, none of these can be a justifiable reason before God.
The devil makes us look like ungrateful people in the sight of God by pulling our attention in the direction of the gifts God has provided and distracting us from his loving arm. Never align with him on this.
She was a good woman. She does her husband good, and when the opportunity to show Elisha good comes her way, her husband gives her all the support needed to show Elisha goodness.
Do you know that many lives are waiting to be affected by you? We must be very focused and straightforward-minded when it comes to our calling. We must diligently find out what it is and pursue it with focus and simplicity.

A lost focus is detrimental not just to your life but also to the lives of those attached to yours.

God indeed intended it to be a blessing to us. He intends for us to be fruitful and to multiply. He told us that we’ll be creative and innovative but we are using it against ourselves. He gave us the free will in order to choose good, choose Him, resist the devil’s temptation and influence, choose love, choose to forgive offences, choose to spend time with Him(God) despite obvious distractions.
God does not take relationships lightly. The day you sincerely commit yourself to Him, He gets involved and watches your every move, directing your steps and stopping you from going the wrong way.

After creating humans, God gave them a great treasure called the WILL, He also gave them the POWER To control that WILL. The ability to decide to do or not to do a thing. The devil is aware of this.

I can’t actually remember what caused the offence and the spirit of anger as usual empowered me and the next thing I did was to rush out for a knife.

Offence is a sure plug for every human notwithstanding how careful or extra-careful one tries to be. Everyone desires absolute peace within and without. Irrespective of how we strive for peace, there comes a moment when we will be offended.
Most marriages are shattered because of a continuous practice of selfishness and a lot of
young people are unaware of this deadly disease.
Selfishness is rude and deadly. It breeds ingratitude, prioritises oneself, doesn’t accept
