“Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.” Psalm 102:13 (KJV)   Today, I have to come to declare over you and your entire family that this is your season of restoration. No matter the challenge you have faced as a family, the Lord has chosen to restore you in ways that will beat your...

“And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.” 2 Kings 5:2 (KJV)   I see the way some people treat their subordinates and I cringe. I see some parents treat their domestic staff so poorly and then leave their children at their mercy as they go about...

“This is not the time to pull away and neglect meeting together, as some have formed the habit of doing. In fact, we should come together even more frequently, eager to encourage and urge each other onward as we anticipate that day dawning.” Hebrews 10:25 (TPT)   One of the lies of the devil that came to the fore post-pandemic is that you do not have to...

“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:” Proverbs 3:9 (KJV)   One of the areas of family life that you must not take lightly is your family finance. Teach your children the right way to handle money. Money is not evil; the love of money is. If you do not take time to teach your children about money, the world...

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.” Ephesians 6:1 (KJV)   One of the things parents must get clear are family values. Don’t raise children with scattered values.

“Dedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go, and the values they’ve learned from you will be with them for life.” Proverbs 22:6 (TPT)   Children are God’s special treasures that He commits to us as parents to take care of.

“Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ...

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you...

“And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.” Luke 10:39 (KJV)   I said at the beginning of this series that God speaks all 5 love languages. The truth is every good thing we teach even in management schools finds its root in the Bible and the 5 love languages are no exception.   Our scripture today is the story...

“And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” Matthew 8:3 (KJV)   In today’s scripture, Jesus did what ordinarily no one would have done. A leper reached out to Him, and He touched him. You may just read this in a hurry and miss the point. In Bible days, lepers are not allowed in...
