Courage is not earned. Courage is not given. Courage is not found. Courage is created. Courage is created when you choose to move forward anyway. So where is God inviting you to be courageous today? God told Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage.”  See that word, “Be”? That’s the real deal. And here’s the truth: the more you take steps of courage, the smaller your fears become. But if you never take those steps, your fears remain a giant in your mind, uncontested, unchalleng

Are you carrying unnecessary layers in your life? Life often piles on layers: expectations, flippancy, ego, fear, and superficiality. These layers can cloud our vision and weigh down our purpose. Joseph, for instance, carried layers. His confidence and innocence shaped his dreams, but they also complicated his relationships. He had the habit of sharing every dream he saw. Like most teenagers, he would say again and again, “I have a dream! I have a dream!” Rather than uniting

Great men and women are not raised in schools; great men and women are raised in homes. Homes may not be perfect, but they provide the spiritual, emotional, and practical support needed to rise above adversity with character and courage. The Inspiring Journey of Nick Vujicic Nick Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Australia, with a rare condition that left him without arms or legs. His story is one of triumph over adversity. His parents, Dušanka and Borislav Vujicic, Serbian imm

Have you ever wondered about the limits of forgiveness? When does my brother become a publican and a heathen? And do I have to forgive a publican seventy-seven times seven as I do my brother? Many have suffered needlessly by trying to apply the same measure of forgiveness to every situation without discerning the relational context. Peter once asked Jesus, “How often will my brother offend me and I forgive him? Seven times?” And Jesus said, “No, not seven times, but seventy-s

Forgiveness is not passive. It doesn’t empower wrong, nor does it license evil people to continue hurting others or their victims. It doesn’t prevent justice from taking its full course. Rather, forgiveness releases us from allowing an offender to take more from us, our peace, our sanity, or our joy. Every offence takes something from us.  It could be trust, time, relationships, peace, or even a part of your inner confidence. But forgiveness stops the inner bleeding. It draws

I have dreamed a dream. In my dream, I was dressed in white, holding a bouquet of flowers. You were holding my hands, and we were both walking to the altar. When I woke up, I knew we were meant to be together. Well, as artificial and fairytale-like as that may sound, that is the reality for some folks. And they will try to impose that on everyone, as if it must be breathed in by all. Let me share another experience. Years back, someone claimed to have had a dream about me, so

The human spirit can pick up signals beyond the five senses.   Have you ever had a dream that felt so real when you woke up that you just knew it must mean something serious? Pilate’s wife had such an experience. She sent word to her husband, saying, “Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him”  (Matthew 27:19). Her dreams were not a mental overflow; they were real, and she acted upon them by sending word to

Are all dreams a multitude of thoughts, or a mental overflow?  Well, without me trying to make too much out of dreams, reducing every dream to mere mental overflow is too simplistic and fails to reflect the full witness of Scripture concerning the sources and nature of dreams. As I will point out in this article, the Bible clearly shows that dreams can carry divine meaning. In fact, Scripture reveals three primary sources of dreams: first,  God. Second,  human thoughts, what

Is there anything called the gift of interpretation of dreams in the Bible? I’ve heard people say, “I believe I have the gift of interpretation of dreams.” Actually, there is no such thing mentioned in the Bible as the gift of interpreting dreams. Sorry to disappoint you! People coined the phrase “gift of interpretation of dreams” without a single portion of Scripture to support it. Yes, the Bible speaks of dreams and of interpretation, but it never describes a spiritual gift

"There is a kind of peace that doesn’t come from silence, but from truth." A conscience void of offence is not about being flawless; it’s about doing what I could to make things right, even when it was hard. It’s about choosing integrity over convenience. I did some really dumb things; things that didn’t just affect me, but others, too. And when I came to myself, like the prodigal son, I knew it was time to unveil those things to the people I had wronged. It wasn’t an easy de

A wandering mind cannot offer whole-hearted worship. I have not read a single book that speaks as practically about the subject of the mind as the Bible does. First, let’s do some math to back this claim: the words mind, mindful, and minded appear about 140 times across both Testaments in the King James Version. Their mention begins in Genesis and continues through to Revelation, approximately 87 times in the New Testament and 53 times in the Old. These counts do not account

Life is never kind to the fragile. The world will not stop spinning because you’re not yet strong.”  That’s not cruel, it’s reality. Whether professionally, academically, or in daily life, weakness isn’t just inconvenient; it’s exploited. Why must you develop mental toughness? Because the real battles are fought and won in the mind. It is in the mind that offense grows. You are either strategizing your growth or spending your energy justifying and explaining every step to you

God keeps records. Is it because He forgets? Certainly not. He remembers everything. So why does He still keep books? That question disrupted my disorderliness to the core. If an omniscient God keeps records, why should a fallible human like me not do the same? That realization shook me. I used to be careless; if there was a prize for neglecting important things, I would beat anyone’s hands down. Diaries? I didn’t care. But reading the Bible and seeing how seriously God treat

Have you ever felt like you’re capable of so much more, but something just holds you back? I’ve been there too. The journey to unlocking your full potential isn’t a straight path. It’s filled with twists, turns, and moments of doubt. But here’s the truth: you can achieve your full potential . It starts with the right mindset and practical strategies that you can apply every day. Ready to dive in? Let’s explore some powerful self-improvement strategies that have transformed my

No matter how much my teachers tried to explain maths, I couldn’t see anything good come out of it. I didn’t like numbers. They didn’t make any sense to me. The harder I tried, the more frustrated I became. I failed it so badly that I bundled both my maths teachers and the mathematics they taught into the category of “I don’t like them.” I didn’t know how to separate my frustration with failing mathematics from those who taught me. Sometimes we ‘hate’ people, not because th

Hunger makes food precious. Failure makes success precious. Poverty and want make wealth precious. Sickness makes health precious. Dirt makes bathing feel precious. And the burden of guilt and sin makes purity of heart precious. Purity changes you. Don’t worry; you won’t lose your uniqueness. Through purity of heart, however, we shed the parts of ourselves that are cruel, retaliatory, vengeful, and destructive; the parts we never liked anyway. Purity of heart brings out the r

Where do negative thoughts come from? Why are they so stubborn to deal with? I’ve tried hard to overcome negative thoughts, even using Scripture, but the harder I try, the more intense they become. They leave me feeling drained, guilty, defeated, and exhausted. Does this sound like you? We often default to fighting thoughts with more thoughts. In fact, we think harder. But you don’t fight negative thoughts with more thoughts. I will show a different, proven strategy, but firs

If you get all you want, will you want all you get? Let’s trace this thought through the life of a king named Midas—one who wished for more without asking why. Midas was a man of immense wealth, living in greater affluence than anyone else in his time. He spent many hours each day handling and counting his treasures. However, no matter how much gold Midas collected, he always wanted more. One day, a being dressed in white appeared to Midas and asked what he wished for. The ki
