Life can always fall to adversity and at some point it will certainly face times that are unjustifiable. It is always difficult to handle adversity. We tend to lose our senses. It is very difficult for

Make Decisions
“Now Solomon decided to build a house for the name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself” (2 Chron. 2:1).
Men commonly say that each person must take decisions in life based on the demands of a situation regardless of what anyone thinks. They may have ramifications and still we are told to do ‘something’
Heed the Words
We have an obligation to fulfill. It is much more important than all the things we have, even the indispensable things as well as our family. For in fulfilling it everything we have, whether the material things or the greater ones will continually give us joy and comfort. Everything and everyone we have at the moment
Living by Faith
Living by faith is not a tradition. It is not an act of speech and works. It is an act of complete trust in God for total dependence on Him. Such faith leads to irrevocable actions for amazing and spontaneous results. It is neither a drama. It is an act of walking with God emotionally, spiritually and literally. By such

It’s just that it is a quick feel of a situation that happens to be right. It is not a conclusion arrived at by keenly analyzing a situation. Hence, it does
Our Comfort Zone
Fear of enemies is a good attribute when it leads us to God. It is good to be able to measure and acknowledge the power of our enemies. It is a leverage to seek God for deliverance and acts as a springboard to fulfilling God’s will. David sought God and said, “Or he will tear my soul
Be Inviting to Him
What invites the Lord to work in our life? We should all be inviting to Him every day. It is only then that we can live a peaceful and tranquil life. One thing we must do if we want solutions, His gifts and blessings is be available to Him. This does not mean we are there as living beings, but as living spiritual beings.
