THE PRINCIPLE OF THE SLOW FADE
By Martina Oboh I have always been fascinated by colours and how one shade transits into another. White becomes cream, eggshell, ivory, Navajo white, vanilla then onyx, black olive, charcoal grey, jet and eventually black. White is, of course, the lightest possible colour and black is the darkest. Every other colour hovers between these two …
SELAH MOMENTS
I thought about a few things and this is what I came up with… When the Lord says, “remember not the former things,” He is not only talking of bad things or losing positions that you have been. He is saying remember not your past victories. Look up to the new that I am bringing. There …
CULTIVATING THE HABIT OF GIVING
It is a truism that the subject of giving cannot be insignificant in the attainment of financial prosperity. By way of by Biblical allusion, Jesus said thus: “it is better to give than to receive.” It is not an overstatement to assert that the blessing of giving is immeasurable. It has been confirmed that one …

MY FELLOW PRISONERS
Paul, a prisoner of Christ … Philemon 1:1 Prison is not a great place; no matter the perspective or spin you want to put on it. It is a controlled life. You are told what to do, how to do it, where you should do it and when to do it. I don’t know …

Have you wanted something so bad and you think that when you get that stuff, you will live in a state of nirvana, perpetual bliss, pure joy and undiluted …
HOLY PARADOX
We will read through Genesis 39 and see things for ourselves. 1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous …
WAY TO GO!
There are times in our lives when what we want to do (our desires; godly ones at that) conflicts with the direction that we KNOW God has given to us. You are not alone. I will introduce you to a man that has been there and done that; Paul, The Apostle. You see, you are already …
Friendship — A Celebration of Values
It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. — Roy Disney I had a conversation with a good friend and mentor some time ago (during my teenage years). During the conversation, I mentioned a name. I said, “My friend John[1] was going to …”. The mention of the person’s name hit him …
Let Me Hear Jesus Out On This …
“He (Jesus) came to bring men to God, not property to man” – Leon Morris, speaking on Jesus. Luke12 starts with Jesus preaching a powerful sermon. The number of folks in the crowd was innumerable. It records that men were falling over themselves to hear Jesus. Waoh … revelation was flowing through. Then a man made …
