One of the most tragic things to happen to you as a parent is for you to be in heaven but find any of your offspring in heaven.

I have prayed earnestly to God never to allow anyone of my descendants to go to hell. Instead, let that child not be born.

Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the multitudes are dying,
And the Master calls for you.
Take the task He gives you gladly,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I, send me, send me!"

Daniel March

We seem to be good Christian HOPEFULS because we have hope in the future resurrection of the saints, but bad Christian FAITHFULS because we don't have faith in what God can do for us and through us NOW.

When God wants to bless someone but realizes that the person's tongue could make them lose the blessings; if they don't have the needed discipline to control their tongue, God could choose to make them temporarily dumb till the blessings manifest. You can ask Zecharias, the father of John the Baptist.

Should I pray this prayer for someone?

"May God make you temporarily dumb till your blessings manifest, if that is the only way He can help you, in Jesus' Name. Amen"

Any "Amen"?

The greatest act of worship that Jesus ever received while on earth was from Mary - A SINNER WOMAN.
1. It was her life's saving, symbolizing the sacrifice of Jesus who laid down His life for our ransom.

2. It was "reckless". She "thoughtlessly", yet thoughtfully broke her box of alabaster, symbolizing the "reckless" death of Jesus because of His love for us.

3. It offended the religious onlookers like Judas, thus pointing to how the world's religion will be hostile to Jesus' death on the cross.

4. It became one single act that was approved by Jesus to be part of the gospel, for wherever the gospel is preached, Mary's act should also be mentioned.

5. Like this wonderful woman in the Bible, let's "waste" our worship on His Worship.

"The voice of our prayer shouldn't be louder than the voice of our thanksgiving."

Ten lepers saw Jesus passing close to the lepers' colony on His final journey to Jerusalem. Knowing that this could be their last hope of getting healed, they CRIED TO JESUS WITH A LOUD VOICE.

Jesus healed all the ten lepers, but it was only one of the lepers who was a Samaritan that came back to thank Jesus. In thanking Jesus, this Samaritan GLORIFIED GOD WITH A LOUD VOICE.

We should not allow the voice of our prayer to be louder than the voice of our thanksgiving. When we pray aloud to the Lord and He hears us, we should also glorify Him with a loud voice. By doing this, our healing is translated from mere healing to WHOLENESS.

Looking at the woman with the spirit of infirmity for 18 years, we'll find that two of the greatest enemies of the woman are Satan & religion. Satan bound this woman for 18 years, but when Jesus set her free, the leader of the synagogue protested against her freedom.

While Satan takes pleasure to afflict women, religion delights in seeing them remain under Satan’s bondage. And if by whatever means the woman is set free by the Lord, religion will vehemently oppose the woman for the freedom she received to be able to “look up” instead of being bent and bowed,

Religion wants women to remain bent and bowed, provided they continue to perform their religious rites. Religion smiles in satisfaction, while the woman weeps and wails. Jesus came to set the woman free from religious and Satanic slavery that has hitherto incapacitated her and stopped her from finding full liberty and expression of who God created her to be.

Jesus sets the woman free from Satan and religion. Hallelujah!

I was studying about the woman with the spirit of infirmity for 18 years and I saw the sad picture of many women in marriage. These women have been bruised, abused, and battered by their beastly husbands. As a result, they're now bowed and broken and unable to look up.
Emotionally broken and can't look up
Mentally broken and can't look up
Psychologically broken and can't look up
Spiritually broken and can't look up.

Though these women have lots of potentials in them, but the accidents of a failed marriage have broken them down.

The first thing Jesus did to the woman was to call her to His side - Relationship with Jesus. The first and greatest healing that every bowed and broken woman needs is to have an intimate relationship with Jesus.

Lady, get out of your seat of sorrow, sin, shame, depression, and regrets, and go and stand on the Lord's side of love. Jesus loves the woman. Hallelujah!

Faith gives substance to the promises of God.
Fear gives substance to the lies of the devil.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Fear comes by hearing, and hearing by the voice of the senses.

"For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations." Psalm 22:28

Track your life (past, present, and future locations) by the Bible.

Though rightfully, death wanted me. But God's mercy refused.

"Death is the weakest threat you can use to stop us."

When Jesus rebuked the great storm, there was a great calm. There's always a great calm hidden inside a great storm. The great calm manifests after the great storm is rebuked.

The Bible is God's perfect law of liberty. It's God's book of precedent that contains several decided cases and authorities that have been decided by the Supreme Court of heaven. All you have to do is to discover the cases that are related to your situation and apply them. You'll surely get the same results like others who have applied these written down principles of the scripture of Truth.

Our fruitfulness needs to move from addition to multiplication if we must replenish the kingdom of this world with the mature sons (huios) of God.

"Let the saints aspire,
To hoist on every land the banner of Christ's cross;
May its scarlet insignia our hearts inspire,
To gain the mountains and shun earth's dross."

So God sings and celebrates His children!

"The Lord your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love.” Zephaniah 3:17 CEV

When the Lord appears to be late in your affairs, He plans to do something great for you. And when He doesn't meet your expectations, He plans to exceed your expectations.

While man is crying, "Where's my God?" God is saying, "Where's my man?" Stand out for God and He'll be there for you.
