God allows the ‘manna’ in our lives to cease, not because He has left us, but to invite us into seasons of harvest in Canaan. The corn in Canaan may not require the daily, visible pick as the manna did, but its bounty brings a prolonged season of rest and provision for the people of God. It is a different kind of daily bread, one that comes not through falling from the sky, but through a harvest large enough to sustain a nation. Imagine the people of Israel waking up that fi

Without leaving the manna, you can’t have a Pentecost. Manna is an easy pick, but corn is a deliberate plant. In the wilderness, manna required no sowing, no waiting, no cultivating, just gathering. But in Canaan, God introduced His people to a new rhythm: the rhythm of planting, tending, waiting, and harvesting. With corn came something manna could never offer: the firstfruits. With manna, there was nothing to bring before the Lord. But with corn, God invited His people to p

The God who provided manna in the wilderness is the same God who provides corn in Canaan. The difference is this: in the wilderness we pick manna, but in Canaan we plant the corn. Yet in both seasons, God remains the Provider. Manna for forty long years God gave the children of Israel manna for forty long years. But at Gilgal, after they crossed the Jordan River and celebrated Passover in the Promised Land, the manna stopped. They began to eat the produce of Canaan. This mome

Great men can fall, and often, their downfall comes from a place no one sees. For Haman, it was insecurity. That hidden weakness in the heart of a powerful man became the most dangerous thing about him. In his insecurity, he exhausted his strength fighting Mordecai, chasing a self-imposed enemy, reacting to shadows that were never after him in the first place. That kind of insecurity proved to be destructive. Let’s revisit the whole story Haman stood next to the great King Ah

Sometimes we try to add a spade of effort when all we really need is just a teaspoon of consistent addition. After two decades of dedicated study, Albert E. N. Gray, author of the classic The Common Denominator of Success , arrived at a deceptively simple conclusion: the common denominator of success, shared by all who have achieved it, lies in forming the habit of doing the very things others dislike doing. These are not habits that successful people necessarily enjoy; rathe

Leave your Galilee of personal opinions and go down to the Jordan and meet John, so you can fulfill your ministry! Jordan is where things are happening, not Galilee, at least not yet. Do you agree with a preacher who cries like John? I tell you, many did not like his crying. Some even said he had a demon because of his unique social life (Matthew 11:18). John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey,

There are many in Zion who desperately need not only the prophetic office of Samuel but the anointed playing of David. Although depression is generally understood today as a mental-health condition supported by scientific and verifiable research, the Bible, the source of spiritual knowledge, also teaches that King Saul suffered from some form of depression; a torment with a spiritual origin, described as “an evil spirit from the Lord.” (1 Samuel 16:23). Science or Scripture?

Does an unused house depreciate faster? Research in building maintenance, real-estate appraisal, and housing economics consistently shows that buildings deteriorate more quickly when they are not occupied, not maintained, or not climate-controlled. Regular human presence provides heat, ventilation, cleaning, maintenance, and early problem detection. This pattern is so well-established that many insurance companies charge higher premiums for vacant properties because the risk

Many families have that one person no one talks much about, the one who has often brought the family low, embarrassed everyone, or developed a shady reputation. Well, Jesus surely understood that, because His own family tree included four women with questionable characters. Four women with questionable characters The first was Tamar (Matthew 1:3), a widow who pretended to be a prostitute and became pregnant with twins by her father-in-law (Genesis 38). The second was Rahab

A man’s position cannot guarantee peace of mind. Insecurity does not discriminate; it can haunt the powerful as easily as the weak. So, don't make great men afraid if you really don't plan to fight them! A man’s position does not guarantee his sense of security. Power does not erase insecurity. In fact, great men can be just as vulnerable, sometimes even more, than the rest of us. So don’t assume that because someone has made it big, they suddenly build a sense of security. I

Have you ever felt stuck? Like you’re spinning your wheels but not really moving forward? I’ve been there more times than I can count. The truth is, personal growth isn’t some magical event that happens overnight. It’s a journey—a deliberate, sometimes challenging, but always rewarding process. So, how do you actually achieve personal growth? Let’s dive in together and explore some strategies that have helped me and countless others transform their lives. Why Personal Growth

Before they could ever come together, Mary said, “Joseph… maybe we shouldn't do this right now. I… I am pregnant.” Joseph replied, “Pregnant? Mary, what are you saying? Have you been with another man and kept it from me?” That’s exactly why I’m confused, Joseph. I don’t know how to explain what’s happening to me. I am pregnant… but what I carry is of the Holy Ghost. I don’t even have the words.” When a Relationship Hits a Wall The relationship came to a standstill, under admi

I’m sure we’ve all had moments when we typed an email or text, read it over, paused, and then deleted it. Maybe you even typed a second version and deleted that too, not because the information was wrong, but because you sensed that the spirit behind the message wasn’t right. Well, I’ve had to deal with the same experience, too. I’ve typed replies to send to my wife, perfectly factual, perfectly logical, but after a second thought, I deleted them. Not out of indecision, but o

Two babies may be born on the same day, but under two completely different circumstances. When one child enters the world, people celebrate, sharing candies, taking photos, and posting on social media. But when the other child is born, certain people arrive with razor blades, marking the child, slaughtering a fowl, making incantations, and pouring libations. From every standpoint, you know these two children are growing up in the same world, yet under different spiritual clim

A night is coming when no one can borrow. A night is coming when no one can beg! If we give you our oil, we may not have enough for you and ourselves , and then all of us would be shut out of the wedding. Remember, we have only heard  that the Bridegroom is coming; we have not seen Him yet. It may still be a few hours before He appears, and we must keep our loins girded and our lamps burning. This kindness has a limit When He comes, He must find us ready, with oil in our lam

Be strong in the Lord, don’t be weak in the Lord! There is spiritual warfare in the heavens, and there is spiritual warfare on the earth. So be strong in the Lord. There is spiritual wickedness in high places to wrestle with, and there are serpents and scorpions on earth to trample underfoot. Be strong in the Lord. There are strongholds to pull down and imaginations to cast down. Be strong in the Lord; you cannot afford to be weak in the Lord. Strength in the power of His mi

Take up the whole armor of God; partial armor leaves you vulnerable. Why choose when God says, "Take it all”? We do not have the luxury of selecting only the pieces of the armor of God we prefer. I have seen people say that prayer is the only armor they want. Others claim they prefer only the sword of the Spirit. Some say, “Righteousness? Do not tell me anything else; I only want the breastplate of righteousness. Take that faith thing away from me.” But how will we be able t

There are good starters  but weak finishers . There are good starters  who never finish . And there are starters  who also become strong finishers .  We don’t judge anyone by how they start, because though your beginning may be small or even slow, your end will greatly increase. Sometimes those who start slowly become the strongest finishers, and that’s what truly counts. Again, there are things you’re glad you never finished after reevaluating their true value, and there are

Can a lack of learners' preparation limit how much a teacher is able to teac h? In education, there is a concept known as the null curriculum : topics or portions of a syllabus that teachers avoid, either because they are unfamiliar with the content, believe it is too difficult for learners, or perceive that learners lack the motivation to engage with it. As a result, these topics are simply not taught. Whether this decision is ethical is widely debated. A similar situation a

I am not attractive enough, smart enough, nice enough, talented enough, good enough, tall enough, rich enough, assertive enough, successful enough, or likable enough. I am simply not enough.” Although the fear of not being enough has crippling effects on our self-image, these damaging consequences are nothing compared to our spiritual image. Don’t believe the lie! When Christians begin to believe the lie that Jesus Christ is not enough. When they believe the lie that our suff
