Marriage is for those who will leave and cleave. This was God’s original plan in establishing this institution. Genesis 3:24 reckons that a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife and they shall become one flesh. There is a growing concern about marriages that are breaking up because of influences from in-laws, parents, friends, neighbours and even children. As much as they have roles to play in establishing the marriage union, the plan in marriage is for them to allow the couples the freedom to establish themselves in…
Everyone is gifted but the statistics of those leaving life with unused gifts is alarming. The gifts were supposed to define the way of living life for men on earth or add some quality to the standard of living but the carriers of these gifts headed out without a bit of their gifts finding use. The result thus is that society remains the way it is. Your gift is not for you, it is for life. You have it because you are the means it is supposed to be released for life. Keeping it to yourself means you are cheating life and yourself too. Eve…
Everyone in life is in a rat race pursuing something. We see men and women every morning wake, head down the road, pick a bus heading somewhere and they return at evening worn out.

Babylon’s high standards were a result of the same standards those who led the empire had. Those who worked around the king had to be well examined after a thorough period of training before they were considered qualified to wo…
There are not many birds with the qualities of the eagle. The eagle stands tall in its own class as not just a ravenous bird but one that represents insight, dignity and a strong will to survive. Eagles don’t hang around often like the other birds. They live in caves in tops of mountains. Like the eagle, those who become real champions in life are people whose goal is to arrive at the mountain top of life. Climbing to the top of a mountain is no easy task. It takes perseverance and diligence to get there. Eagles survive there. Your place…
The prayer of every Christian is to enjoy God’s goodness, mercies and provision every day and God always provides. He has never failed to meet you at the point of your need. This does not mean that you don’t face challenges sometimes. It is that God already supplied your need during the day in anticipation of the night when you cannot work but you finished your resources in the day and when night arrived, you had nothing. Some people die during their night periods, they are unable to see another day. Learn from the ants. They work really…
