Cry aloud for help

 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:29-31‬ ‭KJV


I want to share a very brief word for someone today. The Bible text above illustrates what we face in our lives on earth as Christians 

First, we start up our Christian journey with the word of God that he has forgiven us, all things works together for good, we are the apple of God's eyes, no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper...the lines are fallen for us in pleasant places.. And some other scriptural promises...

Then suddenly.... The wind of life blows us off our feet. We quickly forget God's word and fear takes over. We lost the faith we once had in His word and begin to struggle to keep up with our strength and wisdom. Even with this we notice we are still sinking. Life doesn't seem to work out. Life become terribly full of struggles and labour. No more grace that cancels labour.

What should we do?

Like Peter, we ought to cry out , Lord, save me! Silence will only keep you down. At this point, we must become nothing for God to help us. We must let go our pride and certifications. We must dismantle from our high estate. We must come low to receive grace. Only the lowly can be exalted. The proud and haughty will be brought down. We must cry out with a loud voice to make it clear that we are helpless and need help.

We must forget about that brother, sister, friend, father or mother that looks like an alternative. We must fully trust in the saving power of God's word. Only then will he stretch forth his saving hands and deliver us.

Finally, we must be open to receive his hands of mercy. If you draw near to God, he will draw near to you. We must willingly accept his words and precepts

We must draw near to his mercy so he can reach us. His hands are willing to reach us if we are ready to hold on to his hands. It's time to cry, LORD SAVE ME.

I believe this has blessed someone today, no matter what you are going through, remember Peter in the sea while drowning, he screamed in total dependance on Jesus saying Lord,save me. Would you cry to Jesus today?

ARE YOU A CARROT, EGG OR COFFEE BEAN?

A young woman told her mother how hard her life was. She didn't know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as she solved a problem, another one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first pot, she placed carrots. In the second pot, she placed eggs. In the last pot, she put coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.  After about 20 minutes, she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out, and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out, and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and place it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter she asked '' What do you see? ''.'' Carrots, eggs and coffee '' the daughter replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrot...

Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise  2Timothy 4:2:   "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all Iongsuffering and doctrine. and read   Luke 8:38-40.     The Bible in one year for today has been taken from   Ezekiel 16-12 and Psalms 67:1 -68:6   (Adeboye, 2014). The message is quoted below. God bless you for your contribution "There is one great sin of omission that contemporary followers of Jesus Christ are guilty of. We enjoy God's grace, forgiveness, healing, breakthrough, P9309 and joy but fail to share the good news with others so that they may become beneficiaries of the benevolence of the Almighty God. We tend to take interest in staying in our beautif...

Parenting is the best opportunity to influence the world: How prepared are you?

O ne of the most amazing things I learnt this 2017 and is still learning is “Parenting”. I was privileged to see several things this year: the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. I realized that parenting plays a major role in the outcome of our society. I realized that children who later become adults got most of their traits and genes (genotype and phenotype) from their parents: Intelligent parents most times (not 100%) breeds intelligent kids and dull parents hardly breeds intelligent kids (except in rare occasions) First, let us see how important parenting is - to the child and the world! Wikipedia defines parenting as “the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.” However, most people think parenting is just about giving birth. So I ask, how prepared are you? The biggest and hardest task in life is parenting. Do you know why? If you focus on being successful an...
