Times of Prayer

There is a constant reminder through God’s word that the church must produce good citizens for the Kingdom. It is our prayer that our fellowships will be houses of bread. The reason being is that the house of bread gives birth to and raises kings.

Last week South Africa was shocked and many are in a state of mourning as thirty-four striking mine workers were shot dead by police. The entire incident is being investigated but what a tragic loss to the families of those who lost their lives. Not putting blame on the miners nor the police but it highlights the level of lawlessness and wickedness that exists in the world today.

We are once more reminded of our never ending responsibility…

Times of Prayer

Every moment I stand amazed at the awesomeness of our God. I marvel at the manner in which He fashioned me. Him taking care of every minute detail is never the work of evolution or some witty invention but with the crafting of hands of a loving Father.  I cannot be silent but share the Gospel at every…

Times of Prayer

Early this morning I listened to a song about the great love of our Father allowing His Son to die on the cross. As I closed my eyes in quiet reverence and worship I realized that even if I was the only person on earth Jesus would have still shed His blood for me. I echo the words of the Psalmist…

This may sound a little childish or even to others a bit charismatic that I always lay hands on my head when I pray for wisdom. There is wisdom that comes from God and a wisdom that comes from the wicked one. When God blessed Adam and Eve He would have already given them wisdom yet Eve desired the…
