THE LOAD OF SAND WE DID NOT ORDER

We went to the church site and met a truckload of sand on the site. We kept wondering who delivered sand to the site. We heard the story later: A truck driver had an order to deliver a particular type of sand to a building site but he loaded the wrong type. He realised it was the wrong sand at […]

HANDLING EMOTIONS ON THE JOURNEY TO DESTINY

My Grandfather in the faith shared a powerful lesson with us once: A dear friend of his visited him regularly in his city. Anytime he comes, they would jointly visit a senior minister of the gospel. After a while, they both noticed that when they visit this minister, they always return discouraged. They never discussed it. One day, as they […]

PASTOR, I COULD NOT SLEEP

A dear one had a huge surprise of a massive gift some time ago. The next day, he said to me, “Pastor, I could not sleep. I did not know how to tell people that things changed just in one night”. I smiled. God is a God of surprises. He has surprises in store for you this season. Those who […]

HOW WE KILLED THE SNAKE

We got home on a Sunday after service and our neighbour upstairs mentioned that there was a snake at their door. As he picked a stick to kill it, it found its way around a TV cable and began to find an escape route. His first strike on it made it drop right to the ground in front of our […]

There was a day Danielle was coming to the living room running with excitement. Her neck got tied in some of the strands and it lacerated her flesh. That was the day we pulled it down and […]

Well, she mentioned that she needed some financial assistance for her boy in school. He did not know her but went in to envelope an amount to support her. A few minutes later, the […]

WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU CARRY

We had been trusting God for the fruit of the womb. After a year and some months in marriage, we lightened up and believed that God will do it while we simply focus on enjoying ourselves. Our slogan was simple: “We would not allow what we want to deny us the enjoyment of what we have”. That changed everything for […]

THERE IS MORE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR

The car needed quite some repairs. It had been giving different signs. I requested the mechanic to send the amount needed to fix the car. When I got the price, I was just laughing. The devil wanted to suggest ingratitude to me. I smiled again and began to make a mental list of the things that I was grateful for. […]

THERE ARE STILL GENUINE PROPHETS

When she finished leading worship in our convention years ago, the guest minister was about to preach. He paused and called her. He asked about her husband. Fortunately, he was in the meeting. He said to them, “I do not know you but thus says the Lord, ‘In nine months, you will have your baby’. They had been married for […]
