Luke 11:1-13 In our message for last Sunday, titled, Blessing for Helpers of the Helpless, we saw that anyone can be in a situation of helplessness. We also saw that what is expected of anyone in such a situation is to cry out to God in prayer, like David did. Prayer, indeed, is God’s recommended Read More…
The natural tendency that all human beings have is to be selfish and unconcerned about the plight of those who are less fortunate than them. This tendency is responsible for most of the problems we are facing in the world today, including our dear nation, Nigeria. Today is our 63rd independence anniversary, but how many Read More…
“Melodies of Faith” is a spiritual journey through hymns that enrich our understanding of divine mystery and self-reflection.

Psalm 40 These are very difficult and challenging times, but this should not come as a surprise to those who believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.

(Genesis 28:1-5; 29:15-31) Experiencing the blessing of family does not happen automatically. There is a price that we must pay, and there are certain things that we have to do if we want to experience the blessing of having a family or belonging to a family. In the past two weeks, we have considered the Read More…
(Genesis 25:19-34) The family is one of the greatest blessings that God can bestow upon mankind. Every human being comes into the world through a family.

(Genesis 11:26-12:9) The effect of Adam and Eve’s sin of disobedience is that every human being is born with a sinful nature. We also saw how God redeemed the institution of marriage through the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. If anyone repents from sin and accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour, Read More…
(Genesis 3:1-20) Although the family is meant by God to be a blessing to man, not everyone experiences the blessing that God established the family to confer on them.
