MAD WITH JESUS🔥

  Have you ever thought about who your favorite character in the Bible is? For many of us, it's often someone whose life or story speaks deeply to us—maybe because of their faith, obedience, courage, or even their wealth and influence. Today, I want us to take a closer look at a man whose life continues to inspire generations: David. Among all the great men in the Bible, God called David “a man after His own heart.” Have you ever wondered why? What was so special about David that earned him such a profound title from God Himself? This question dropped in my heart during my quiet time while studying the Word, and it led me to dig deeper into David’s story. It begins in 1 Samuel 16, where we find David as a humble shepherd boy, faithfully tending his father’s sheep. Yet, this very boy was chosen and anointed by Prophet Samuel to be king—a powerful reminder that God does not look at outward appearance, but at the heart (1 Sam 16:6-7), and that He is no respecter of persons (Rom 2:11)....

A tree uprooted from the earth cannot survive, its life severed from the source of its strength. This, dear reader, mirrors the despair King Saul endured when the Lord rejected him, stripping away His divine backing. Just as a mighty whale flounders without its ocean home, the grandest tree withers when torn from the soil. So it is with us—our vitality depends on remaining rooted in God. Scripture reveals that Saul never recovered from this separation. The chain of events began in 1 Samuel 13, where, under pressure, Saul struggled to obey God’s commands. He compromised, undermining the requirement that Israel’s king must faithfully heed God’s instructions. As Easter begins today, we celebrate Christ’s wondrous sacrifice for humanity. Let this season stir your heart to obey the Lord, especially in moments of trial.   Happy Easter!

Text:  And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Luke 18:1 What is Prayer? Prayer is known to be communication between individual(s) and God. We are commanded by Jesus Christ to pray always. Therefore, we should not be tired of praying as 1st Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray without ceasing. There are many factors that influence people's decision to not pray. It could be that they feel discouraged because their prayers are yet to be answered. While this might be enough to cause discouragement for some, we should always have in mind that God has different ways of answering prayers. It could be 'No' 'Yes' or 'Wait'. All these are answers and are for your benefits. In addition, you should be patient and obedient to His word while you pray. In conclusion:  Communicate with God always and not only when you need things from Him. Take some time to communicate with God today and always remember that He listens.

We will be considering two variations of this wonderful word. The who and the what. Who is a character? A character is a person being involved in the action of a story. In this life, we are all characters – pencils in the hand of the Creator. Some people are the "protagonists" who will be SEEN and ACKNOWLEDGED; while others are the supporting characters. For instance, we don't hear so much about the disciples of John the Baptist but we hear a lot about John, the forerunner of Jesus Christ. Some of our destinies are to be in the background, make way for the "protagonists" and cheer them backstage or even from the bleachers. A lot of us want to be in the limelight but we can't all be. God works in mysterious ways; His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are higher than our ways. Isaiah 55:9 Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV [11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. ...
