By Soli Deo Gloria I've never been a person to ask anyone to pray for me, I've always felt if a Christian's faith is truly rooted deep into the soil of scripture, prayer, meditation and fasting that when the burning sun of life's trials and tribulation come up against the believer he will not be moved. In the last four years I can say without doubt that I have not had 2 days whereby life's situation and circumstances has weighed me down so much that I had to ask someone to pray for me. I can say this because my faith is firmly rooted and my knowledge and understanding of God's Grace and Mercy toward me is able to sustain me. Now this does not mean I don't want others to pray for me, it means I am confident that my prayers are sufficient to move God for my deliverance.  With all this said you can imagine how surprised I was to have my pastor pray for me last Sunday, not that he does pray for others, its that when he asks " Does anyone ...

The bible says “ The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable ” I would contend that the lips of the righteous know what God has in store.

When I got home from work I signed on to FaceBook   and one of my new friends had posted how difficult it was dealing with the lost of a significant other. I just like him have a hard time dealing with the lost of someone I care for. However even though it seams I’m never one for a lost of words,...

I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. Psalm 6:6 Nothing has hindered the blessing or the manifestation of blessing in the life of urban men today like the concept that it is unmanly to cry. With time, as believer in Christ we learn to mature beyond the inundated precepts of a society motivated by the whiles of Satan's pride. Those bit of society that tell us men should not cry. However for some the need to restrict crying is never released; not in public prayer, not even in secret pray with God. Some men never realize that tears are not a sign of weakness but the expression of compassion. And because of this they never reach the full application of the compassion of Christ. One of the things God desire in our life is that we learn to lean on him for all things in our life. However, this to may seem like an admission of weakness, our pride says to us "I don't need nobody" This is how...
