There is an old adage which says when your neighbour's house is on fire wet your own.  We need to speak the name of Jesus over our country as we witness the calamities which have befallen nations across the globe.

Today's episode takes a look at the Spirit of Depression through the eyes of Elijah.

This devotional discusses the Spirit of Intimidation, its cause and its effects on our life.

This is my prayer for the nation and my life.  Lord, do it again! Let there be a revival in our cities, streets and nation.  Do it again, revive our relationships, families and lives.  Do it again, revive our giftings and let there be signs, miracles and wonders following your word when preached.  Do it AGAIN1 (Hab 3:2)

A person who lives a life of significance adds value to the life of others daily.  Jesus epitomised this throughout his life and ministry on the earth.  Are you adding value to the life of others? Let's make this our New Year's resolution.

Today, I am giving thanks to the Lord for His goodness.

Many of us have incorrect perspectives of God.  When we think of God, we see him as a fence or a ladder: we can never reach him or must work our way to get to him.  Others relate to the garbage can perspective - they believe God sees them through all the negative things in their life, and thus, they cannot be holy enough to meet him.  But God wants us to see him as the door to our lives.  The door that sets us free from past sins and ushers us into a new beginning with Him.

Note: John Maxwell is credited for the four perspectives: fence, ladder, garbage can and door. 

Every year around this time, I commemorate  two significant events, viz. Thanksgiving and the anniversary of my husband's passing.  As I reflected on those two events as well as the challenges of the past 5 months, I can't help but have a heart of gratitude towards God for his goodness towards me. Join me in expressing thanks to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

A word of encouragement to those who are bogged down by the cares of this life.

Did Ras. Shorty I get it right when he said that we are reaping the fruits of our actions?  Indeed, what's going on in our schools today is a cause for great lamentation and repentance. Did we as parents, influencers and society as a whole fail to bend the tree when it was young?
