Every day we make dozens of little choices that either benefit us by asserting our ideas or diminish us because we hesitate in making our views or desires known.

Today Is The Day To Be Happy
Yes, the weather’s miserable and Brexit is a certified mess…but believe it or not, there’s still plenty of reasons to smile
Life has taught me that just because God puts a dream in your mind, it doesn’t mean it’s going to come to pass without any opposition. God wants to grow us up. He wants us to mature. He wants to prepare us to handle the blessing He has in store. Like Joseph in Genesis, he […]

I’m Laughing With God
Heaven is a happy place, full of joy and laughter, not only from it’s human inhabitants but also from God. Have you ever thought about God laughing? Right now, God is on the throne. He’s not mad. He’s not worried about Brexit or the economy. He’s not upset with you and me about our sins […]

No More Self-Pity Or Comparisons – Only Joy
Do you feel lousy? I mean actually lousy, not the sort of bland malaise that comes with reading my articles. I ask because I sure do. Not right now, because whether it’s my attempt to have a more optimistic outlook on life or a toxic chemical leaking from my monitor that’s giving me a high while slowly killing me, I feel great. But I certainly have a history of feeling miserable and throwing undeserved pity parties.

“God Will Deal With The Trouble Makers”
Has there been people in your life that have caused you trouble? Like the youth say, “they just keep getting in your face.” In the Bible, Hezekiah was faced with enemies coming against him, causing him trouble, trying to keep him from his destiny. But Hezekiah didn’t get upset. He just kept abiding, kept being […]

A Victory for Christians Everywhere
Victory in Christ. It’s what many Christians want. It’s what we’ve been promised by Christ himself. But a number of questions come to my mind, questions like: “Why don’t we see more victory in Christ?” or “Why don’t I have more victory in Christ myself?”

God’s Will and Your Big, Stupid Mistakes
When was the last time you really blew it? I mean, really, really blew it? Like, “This-is-the-end-I’ll-never-recover-my-life-is-over, blew it?”

Finding God in Each Day
While teaching RE last week at school to my GCSE students, the text books reminded us that before the foundation of the world, God laid out a plan for your life. He created you on purpose, with a purpose and for a purpose. He created you to be successful! He has moments already laid out […]

Your Life Is Not An Accident
Did you know God knew you before you were even born? What an amazing thought! God saw you in His mind’s eye before you were substance, and said “I have a purpose for this life and an amazing plan!” Then He worked a miracle and sent life into your mother and father. They may have […]

God Help I Need Direction
Yesterday I had a serious call from a dear friend of mine who was very anxious about the future, not sure what to do and not clear what God is saying. Do you need direction in your life? The first question we need to ask ourselves is, “am I acknowledging God in all my ways […]

Dear Christian: You’ll Get It Eventually
While travelling from Watford to Southend, to do revival yesterday after my radio broadcast, the enemy was trying to bombard my mind with negatives. Saying your too tired, is this worth it, the church is not ready, there is no excitement and there will be no visitors. But the Spirit reminded me God will give […]
