Too Busy to Pray? Here’s a Gentle Wake Up Call.

Too Busy to Pray? Here’s a Gentle Wake Up Call.

How has your prayer life been lately? Have you been praying daily, or has it been a while since you last prayed? If it’s been some time, I have good news for you today — it’s never too late to start praying!

Please don’t condemn yourself if you haven’t been consistent in prayer. The Word of God csays “For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again…” (Proverbs 24:16). It’s okay if you missed many days, but today is the day to get back to it. His mercies are new every morning.

Prayer Isn’t Performance, It’s Relationship

Prayer is an intimate relationship where we commune to God. Sometimes we may feel like we run out of words. Other times, we come with a long list of needs. But here’s the truth — prayer isn’t about performance or perfection. It’s not a checklist or a ritual.

Instead, it’s a daily conversation, sometimes full of words, sometimes filled with silence. But always sacred. Always fully depending on Him, His Word, His voice, and His guidance.

Prioritize daily conversations with God, not just speaking, but listening too. Let your relationship with Him come before everything else.

Daniel: A Life Set Apart by Prayer

Daniel had ungodly people around him and he served a king who did not believe in the one true God. Daniel was also a leader and he was definitely busy. Yet, he was found praying not once but three times a day. Which means, he intentionally set himself apart.

The Word of God says in Daniel 6:10-11, “Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help.”

Imagine, Daniel heard the king’s decree that if he prayed he would be killed for it, yet he did not miss prayer! How often do we delay prayer because of work, distractions, or excuses?

If death didn’t stop Daniel from praying, what’s stopping us?

Start Now, God Is Just a Whisper Away

You don’t have to pray long, complicated prayers.

Here’s a simple way to begin:

“Hello, Daddy God. It’s been a while since I said hi…”

or

“Hey Dad… thank You for never leaving my side. You’re so good.”

That’s it. He’s waiting to hear from you; no pressure, just love.

Is Sex Before Marriage Really Okay? What Nobody Tells You…

Is Sex Before Marriage Really Okay? What Nobody Tells You…

A: Is it ok to sleep with the man I’m dating?

S: No

A: But we’re going to get married. We’ve been together for a long time and even live together. Isn’t he almost like my husband?

S: Still no.

This is a conversation we had with a young girl, about her relationship and whether sex before marriage is okay.

We live in a world where what feels right to people is often not right in God’s eyes. Today, society says it’s “okay” to sin. No one seems to care or notice, but sin still separates us from God. It hardens our hearts and creates distance between us and Him.

 

Marriage,Sex

What Did Jesus Say?

When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, He asked her to bring her husband. She replied, “I have no husband.” Jesus affirmed her honesty, saying: “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.” (John 4:18)

This shows us that simply living with someone, dating for years, or acting like you’re married does not make that person your husband. Marriage requires a covenant, a commitment before God and witnesses, sealed with vows.

Sex outside of that covenant is sin.

If You’ve Already Made Mistakes

Maybe you’ve already crossed that line. The good news? You still have a chance to make things right before God. You can repent, ask for forgiveness, and start fresh.

If you desire God’s blessing on your marriage, it begins with honoring Him now. Marriage is a beautiful gift from God, and it is worth waiting for. You are so precious, worth being cherished and waited for, no matter what your past looks like.

Even King Ahab, one of the most wicked kings in the Bible, found God’s attention when he repented (1 Kings 21:27-29). Repentance isn’t just for “church people” or “holy people”, it’s for all of us. God’s grace is never a license to keep sinning. Grace is the power to overcome sin and live a new life in Christ.

It’s never too late to start over with God again.

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do!

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do!

Girl, can you say this with me? 

Never! Never doubt the Word of God.

You can doubt your feelings, you can doubt your experience. You can even doubt your friends.

But never doubt the Word of God.

But sometimes when we go through a problem for a long time, we may begin to doubt the Word of God. We may begin to wonder why is God not working in my life?

word

Maybe you see that in a particular area you have not received your breakthrough for a long time. The devil will even lie to you that God is ok with you being blessed in all the other areas, but this area He has spared. 

That’s what he said to Eve. He showed her how God had given them the entire garden but spared that one tree. 

Yet Romans 8:32 says, He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” 

When Joshua and the Israelites were finally in the promised land, we see Joshua testifying how not one Word that the Lord spoke had failed.

“Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.” (Joshua 23:14)

So when you don’t see a breakthrough in an area, you need to get into the Word and start reasoning and asking like Gideon. 

“Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us?” (Judges 6:13)

You need to investigate and wrestle with God asking, “My God is good; He gave me His Son Jesus, and if I am not seeing a breakthrough in my life in this area what is it that is blocking it?”

And you will find the answers not from your friends or Google, but from the time you spend reading the Word of God. 

This is where you will receive the keys to open every stubborn door in your life. 

Remember, if there is one thing that is unshakeable it is the Word of God. This is the only foundation that will stand the storms that come your way and make you overcome it.

Why God hates Pity, and Why You Should Too

Why God hates Pity, and Why You Should Too

One day, in my quiet time with the Lord I heard Him say, “Tell My children that I don’t deal in pity. I am a God of mercy. Pity is for orphans, but mercy is for sons.

Pity is a result of an emotion, which is there today and gone tomorrow. But His Mercy never ends. They are new every morning. (Lam 3:22-23)

Do you know one of the Hebrew root words for mercy is Rakh-am, which means, mother’s womb. God gives us mercy because we are from His womb.

You are not an orphan that was picked from the streets. You are a son who was once lost, but now is found. And that’s why the angels in heaven celebrate when someone gets born again, because the son who was lost is now found. 

pity

Sadly most of us like to roll in self-pity. 

We grumble and we complain about the things and situations in our life that we think we don’t deserve. And at other times we look at somebody else’s life and complain that they have what we deserve.

If only I was born in a rich family. 

If only I had a platform. 

If only I was pretty like her.

And we walk around carrying that victim mentality, trying to win sympathy from others. 

Now that’s pity and God hates it, because when you speak the language of pity the focus is on nothing but you alone. 

Pity will make you feel miserable. 

Pity will steal everything good that God has blessed you with. 

Pity will even push you to hurt yourself. 

Listen, God doesn’t want you to come to Him begging for things in your life but He wants you to walk to Him as a son who knows what he wants. 

Mercy is knowing that the Father’s hand is over your life. 

Mercy is knowing that no matter what happens, God will work it for my good. 

It’s time to get rid of every self pity and victim mentality and walk with heads held high knowing that you are a son, and that the God you serve is a merciful God.

You Are Wearying God, And This Is How…

You Are Wearying God, And This Is How…

Can the Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth get tired? Do you know that the Bible says that He does get tired? Want to know how? This is what Malachi 2:17 says:

“You have wearied the LORD with your words

You can weary God with your words.

Again Malachi 3:13-14 says,

“Your words have been harsh against Me,” Says the LORD, “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the LORD of hosts?”

your words

We may not outrightly speak like this. But when we say things like I am not good enough, I cannot do it, I am a loser, you are wearying God with your words, and thereby limiting God with your words. 

God wants to do big things in your life. God wants to give you nations(Acts 2:8). But when we speak things like How is it going to be possible? I can’t even speak properly, I’m not qualified, you are limiting God.

Do you know that one of the names of God is, “I Am”? And how many times do we take the name of the Lord in vain? When you say I am not worthy, I am incapable, I am so ugly, I am not beautiful like her or gifted like her, you are taking the Lord’s name in vain and you are wearing your God.

Your words are the only extent to which God will work in your life. If you think God can do only this much in your life, that will become the limit to which God will work in your life. 

Consider this: whatever you see God did for anyone in the Word of God is an invitation for you. If God can do it for Abraham, He can do it for you. If He can do it for Ruth, He can do it for you.

Only, never limit God by your own words.

Do You Really Have Faith? 3 Tests to Know

Do You Really Have Faith? 3 Tests to Know

How do we know if we really have faith?

Many times we are quick to say “Yes, I have faith”. But how do we know if we really believe? How do we really know if God’s truth has been established in our lives?

Here are 3 steps that will help you know if you really have faith:

tests of faith
  1. Do you believe in your heart?

If someone were to ask you “Do you believe that God can heal you?”, you would probably be quick to say yes. But do you really believe it in your heart? When we say “the Lord is my Provider, I will not lack”, do we really believe it in our heart? That is step one – we don’t just say it because religion taught us that, but because we really believe with our heart what we say. 

  1. Do you speak what your heart believes?

Step two is what you believe must come into action. And it first comes into action by what you say – not just what you say in church, but what you say outside of church. Because in the church there is an atmosphere of faith. But, if you are asked to open your mouth and praise Him when there is no music or worship team to cheer you, how do you praise Him? We need to speak what we believe.

  1. Are you confessing before men what you believe?

You will know your faith is complete when you begin to confess before men what you believe. Many believers say they have faith, but their mouth remains shut before unbelievers. Some of your colleagues and neighbors don’t even know that you are a Christian. Maybe because you are too scared to confess God before men. Or maybe you are not fully convinced yet of what you believe.  

Jesus says in Matthew 10:32, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.”

The Kingdom of God is at hand. Can we analyze our lives by these three parameters and tell if what we really had was faith? Remember, without faith it is impossible to please God.
