Panic or pray. Those are two choices we have every day. Today’s weather forecast calls for storms all day; some severe. When you hear those words do you panic or do you pray? As believers, we have authority in the earth to speak to our situation and expect that situation to change as it relates to the Word of God. Mark 11:23-24 says ‘speak to the storms in your life and do not doubt’. In Luke 10:19, Jesus told the disciples “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy (the devil). You have been made kings and priests to Read More

Sufficiency: It Would Have Been Enough
Sufficiency is a gift from God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5). This weekend we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and Passover. I always think of the prayer we pray during Passover. It’s called Dayenu, which means ‘It would have been enough (sufficient). It is a song of thanksgiving and praise. Take a moment to read this prayer and meditate on it. When you began to look back over your life and see all that God has brought you through, shout Dayenu (It Would Have Read More
Healed and Whole: Forever Settled
I am Healed and Whole. Healing is part of our divine covenant with God. Exactly 2 years ago to the day, I did a series on healing. It’s time to revisit this topic as we should keep this in the forefront. God is a healing God. In Him we have healing. God has already made a way of escape from any and every sickness which may be moving through this realm attacking whoever it wants to devour; just like our enemy the devil who sneaks around looking for someone who is unprotected to devour (1 Peter 5:8). In Him we Read More
Cracks in your armor: Three ways to seal them
Cracks will appear in your armor from time to time. Our armor protects us from the attacks of the enemy. Where do these cracks come from? How do we become aware of these cracks? How do we fix these cracks? The Word of God admonishes us in Ephesians 6:10 – 17: “Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only Read More
Contemplating: 2021 in Review
Contemplating means to think profoundly and at length, to meditate. I have been contemplating the top five events of 2021 in my life. I have completed so many things which at some point I thought were not possible, but with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). God is the author and finisher of my faith journey (Hebrews 12:2). Here are my top five 2021 moments in review. Retired: Semi Wrote and published three books: Being: Manifesting the Image of God Life Lessons from the Book of Ruth: Pageantry of Destiny Praying Through the Pandemic: Ignite your faith and conquer Read More
Kings: Radical Confrontations
The books of Kings are filled with many who did not back down, they stood their ground amidst radical confrontations. It is the equivalent of the New Testament book of Acts and speaks of the glory of God then and now. When I read the books of Kings, I cannot help but be genuinely inspired by all that was said and done. I must continually put my trust in the God who sent ravens to feed (1 Kings 17:4) and lepers to lead (2 Kings 7:9-11). Who but God could accomplish such feats? Sometimes God will lead you to places Read More
