April Issue: Me, My Mouth And My Mind  Me, my mouth, and my mind make me who I am. I think, I speak, I am. What I think and how I respond to my thoughts determine my behaviour, moods, or reactions. According to psychologists, a negativity bias was built into our brains millions of years ago when our ancestors were dealing with life-threatening experiences during gathering and hunting for food. So fear, anxiety, and negativity are part of being human, and these, when out of control, will hinder our spiritual journey with Jesus. That is why the Bible says that…

February: Part 1 – My Time with Jesus (With a Free February Planner Printable) If you are reading this article, then it tells me that you are ready to start your spiritual journey with Jesus. This path is narrow (Matthew 7:13-14) but burden-free (Matthew 11:28 KJV). Jesus himself could not bear to carry his cross to Calvary, so He does not expect us to walk this journey alone. This is a spiritual walk, not a religious one. Why a spiritual walk? Is Christianity not a religion? Christianity is a lifestyle; it’s a daily walk with Jesus. We are spirit beings…

Although attending church every Sunday and being a part of your local church’s worship is essential, circumstances sometimes prevent us from being present. At some stage in our lives, we could not attend church on a Sunday morning, whether it be sickness, COVID, travel or work, or maybe you are a secret believer of Christ. Whatever the reason, it is understood, and we should not feel guilty about it. There should be no condemnation. These situations should not keep us from God’s presence, and nothing should hinder us from worshipping Him. In an article written by Wendy Wang, ‘The Decline…

Here some shocking reasons why we should worship God. This has changed my life forever. Have you ever sat and wondered what on earth we are doing here? Each day, it is the same old monotonous grind. We are pushing one foot in front of the other to get the day over. Well, just like you, I have the same thoughts, but there is one thing I know for sure: before I am a wife or a mother, I am born to worship God. My primary purpose in this life is to worship God. When I got this right, I believe…

“Today, God is calling His Church back to worship. This can be seen in high church circles where there is a renewed interest in intimacy with God. It can be seen in low church circles where there is a renewed interest in liturgy. It can be seen everywhere in between these two. It is as if God is saying, ‘I want the hearts of my people back!’ And if we long to go where God is going and do what God is doing, we will move into deeper, more authentic worship.” – Richard J. Foster. Jesus is only interested in…

Worship unto God should be a lifestyle. We worship Him with our whole life, body, soul and spirit. (1 Thessalonians 5:23). As Christ lives in us, and we in Him, we are intricately woven together in one union. Therefore, our every move becomes glory to Him. He becomes the life in us. Romans 12:1-2 says: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you…

Christianity should be seen as a lifestyle rather than a religion. We need to express our love and adoration to Jesus in the form of worship. We must not confuse praise with worship. Praise is an outward celebration through song, dance or clapping of our hands and is often accompanied by thanksgiving and gratitude, whereas worship goes much deeper and is far more sacred. Worship is a deep inward expression where our human spirit connects with the Spirit of God. It’s a time when all emotional stimulants like music and song are silenced, and you find yourself bowing before Him…

Home. A peaceful home. No matter how big or small, shabby or plush, there’s no place like home. It’s a place that you get to be you. It is a place where you can feel safe; your sanctuary. Being a single parent is a challenge on its own and at times, the peace in our home is sacrificed as we try to keep it all together. Love is the most durable power in the world. This creative force is the most potent instrument available in mankind’s quest for peace and security. Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s not the structure of…
