What’s In Your Hands?

| Fola O' Martins

Our lives are full of needs that we want God to meet. These needs could be healing for ourselves or a loved one, it could even be school admission for ourselves or our kids or it may be that your present need is to meet the ‘one’ so you can finally settle down to start a family. Others may have all the above but need money for the tuition fees, a new job to be able to support the family adequately or even a better accommodation to bring up the children in a more spacious place. The truth is that we all have needs and as our faces are different so also our needs are.

It Pays To Laugh!

| Fola O' Martins

We live in a world that is full of things to make us frown, sad, upset, frustrated and just overwhelmed. These things have the ability to stifle our joy, thereby making us go around with a heavy heart and a sad face. 

However, we have to make up our minds to find things to make us laugh. Laughter makes us more relaxed and has the ability to reduce whatever stress we’re going through. After a good bout of laughter, it is possible to see issues from a more positive perspective.

Your Life, Your Ministration!

| Fola O' Martins

Many a time, we find ourselves wanting to be true ambassadors of Christ and reach out to our world for Jesus Christ. We yearn to preach the gospel, win souls for Christ and get these people to be firmly rooted in the Word of God.

All these things are so good however if all we do is let our talk do the ministration and not our lives then we may face hostility, non-acceptance and closed doors from those we want to reach out to.
Our lives are what many are reading and our attitudes are what most watch. It is for this reason, we should let our lives be the ministration and our talk, the accompaniment.

Your life speaks more than your words!

God help us all!

Reflections of the Past Year!

| Fola O' Martins

Hey everyone,

Today is my birthday. Woohoo!

I’m grateful to be alive and well. Grateful for what God has blessed me with. Grateful for where I am. Grateful for where He’s brought me from. Grateful for being blessed with a great family network and by this I refer to my immediate family, my sisters and their families as well as family friends. Grateful for being here today. Where I was last year is not where I am today and for that reason only, my heart is so full of praises to God. He is real and still very much interested in every of His children. In the light of thanksgiving, early this birthday day of mine I took a trip down a short memory lane to the past year.

Praise You In This Storm | Casting Crowns

| Fola O' Martins

Sometimes, we go through storms and it may appear that God has left us or cannot save us. It may look like we would not come out of the situation we’re in but God never promised that we won’t witness storms. What He promised is that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Whatever the storm, He has given us the ability and His Word as an anchor to go through any storm and come out stronger than when we got in.  It may seem that He’s not being on time, remember He is not running on our own time but His time. Stay strong and praise God in that storm.

 

I Cast All My Cares Upon You | Kelly Willard

| Fola O' Martins

When life’s cares like a storm want to drown you, choose to hold on to God’s anchor. Be still and know that God is there to still the storm and see you safely to shore. He promised He will never leave you nor forsake you and you have to believe just that to overcome. Here is a song to encourage you to cast all your cares upon God. He alone has the power and ability to absolve them. Stay peaceful!

Give It Up!

| Fola O' Martins

Many things come right at us in the form of worries every single day. Waking up late on a Monday morning has the power to set our hearts to worry if we would be able to catch our ‘regular’ bus or train to work and if you don’t use the public commute, you worry if you can still make it in time with the ‘regular’ traffic on your way. If only that can set our hearts in ‘worry mode’, then how about if you or your child has to be on a waiting list for school or waiting for an interview feedback for a dream job, not to talk of when we are faced with financial, emotional, relationship or health issues.
