To appear in the court of heaven.      I had a moment where I was battling within myself, with my own thoughts concerning a response I had given to a friend earlier in the day. It felt like I was being accused of something I didn't do, or that wasn't insinuated. When I couldn't focus on my music anymore, I turned it down to respond to the accusation in my thought/mind, I should say now. I responded by praying, and refusing what was being forced on me. After I prayed in tongues, and made some declarations, I felt at peace.  Later in the day, I picked up a book on my kindle to read, titled "Defeating your Adversary in the Court of Heaven." by the Praying Medic, only to realize that what I encountered earlier, was me being summoned to the court of accusation by the accuser, and my responding granted me justice in the form of the peace I felt. This made me wonder how many times I have ignored such calls, and let the devil get an upper hand in my situation, or how ...

 If you are like me, trying to stay healthy, and maintain a certain weight can be a hassle sometimes. A lot of things can make you forget your goal of staying healthy, or having that conscious mindset of staying healthy, that you find yourself eating to feel good or to suppress whatever emotions you may be feeling at any particular time. For me I eat more when I have to do school work, or when I feel really stress about my finances. See now, just when I thought I got a good grip on this issue of emotional eating, something new hit me, and I decided to read more on it. I will be more than happy to share with you more what I discovered as I let the Holy Spirit take me through a teaching. There is such thing as overeating to fulfill sexual urge. yes You read it right, exactly what I just said. And in the Bible(Proverbs 23:2) overeating is considered a form of gluttony, which is ungodly, and it's no different from drunkenness. If I can explain further; according to the information ga...

            Subtle prejudice is the worse kind that is very common in our everyday lives. We all have probably been guilty of it one way or another. we may have been partial and sometimes unfair, yet act like we really care about everyone/every race. This is not to point fingers at anyone in particular, however, it is to awaken the human race to an issue that has not only become prevalent on our football fields, where we are supposed to be teaching leaders of tomorrow,  to be fair, regardless of race and color, but has slowly walked its sneaky way into our churches. Why do we hold people back or ignore them when we feel they do not fit our standard, or the required standard of the crowd  on the field, or in the church? Allow me to pick on the church now, we ought to set the example that the world needs to follow, not the other way around. Oh no, don't think I exclude myself when I shine light on this issue, for I have prob...

How do you treat the Zacchaeus (es) that you come across daily? This would not be my first time reading about the story of our dear friend Zacchaeus and his encounter with our dear big brother and Lord Jesus, neither would it my first time reading through the book of Luke. However as I picked up my Bible to fulfill my commitment to God, I came to a “bulb light” moment in Luke 19: The lessons the Holy Spirit taught me; Zacchaeus though did not know Jesus, was eager to see Him. He just wanted a better view of Jesus (vs 3&4) Jesus saw a desperate man in need of love and acceptance. A man the world has deemed a “sinner” a misfit or did not deserve His audience (Vs 7). Jesus saw his desperation as an invitation to his heart, and asked to go to his home (vs 5). This is the “mind blower” for me;   Jesus did not have to say a word to Zacchaeus about how horrible He thought he was, or go by what others thought of him. All Jesus did was love on him. Jesus’ compassion...

The importance of detoxification… Not just to your physical body now, but to your whole being. The Bible says in 1Timothy 4:8 that “for physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” (NIV). For over a week now, I have had the opportunity to detoxify my body in other to get back on track with staying healthy. A few days into the detoxification, I started to notice changes that I really liked; having more energy, less stressed and more alert. The compliments about my glowing skin and ageless look were just off the wall. I must admit, it felt good to hear these wonderful things being said about me (hey, I’m human, lol). However, something that struck me was what would happen if, and when we do same for the inner being. See, before the entire quest for physical health, I had to journey down the path of inner cleansing. What do I mean by that? I’ll tell you; With all that I had gone th...

Currently in my Counseling program we have all been challenged to adopt a spiritual discipline that we can commit to every day as we go on in the program. Now this challenge is to help us stay connected to God and not lose focus of who He is in our lives as we pursue a career in the helping profession. As professional helpers, we also reminded of the importance of self-awareness and self-care. So you can only imagine how big of a deal this is for me, that I keep God continuously at the top of my game. Anyways, I opted for a spiritual discipline that has somewhat been a real challenge for me, which is “silence.” You know, just being quiet before God and even people so you can really hear what is being said. And to be able to keep to this and not get burned out, I thought to go at it for 30mins every day before I do anything in the morning. Hey religious folks, don’t you dare begin to condemn me now, and question why I am giving God a time limit. Like I stated in the beginning, it’s...
