Life Without Rules

There is a battle which rages within every man. That between strength and weakness. The unfortunate dilemma, of which our human flesh has been made slave to, continues to eat deeper and deeper into us. 
What then, is weakness? Who is strong? 
What assures us of our strength, or threaps us of our weakness? Is not man, but a helpless pawn on the board of life? Subject to whatever fate is thrown at him? How then can we attribute strength on the survey of the eye, or weakness based on gossip? 
But isn't the strongest man weak? Or the weakest man strong?

EMBRACING THE DIVINE LOVE: A SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND RENEWAL

-
By Hannatu Haruna In a world filled with complexities and uncertainties, one universal truth remains constant—the profound impact of love on the human spirit. As Christians, we understand that love is not just a fleeting emotion but a divine force that sustains us, and at the center of it all is God’s unwavering love. The Scriptures guide us to recognize that God’s love is not only the epitome of reliability but also the foundation upon which our faith stands. In 1 John 4:8, we are reminded that “God is love,” emphasizing the inherent nature of the Divine to express love unconditionally. It is this love that serves as a compass, guiding our moral choices and shaping our interactions with the world. In our pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, we often encounter challenges and obstacles that can shake the very foundations of our existence. However, the reassuring presence of God’s love becomes our anchor, providing solace in times of despair and strength in moments of weakness. Psalm 36

FAITHFULNESS

-
 By Deborah Temitope Jacob It is no doubt that great is the faithfulness of God and that his mercies endure forever despite our imperfections. Two questions which then remain to be asked are “ what does faithfulness mean?” and “who is a faithful servant?” Faithfulness is the quality of being steadfast and committed to something or someone. It can also mean being reliable and worthy of trust. In Matthew 25:45, the Bible made mention of a faithful servant as a person who can be trusted with responsibilities. There are 4 different aspects of faithfulness according to this writer: Faithfulness to God (Hebrews 11) Having faith in God is trusting him completely. It is the proof of our relationship with God. We have faith in God because we know he never fails. Faithfulness is total obedience or belief in God's word and this will requires us to be connected to God and trust in his word completely. Faithfulness in relationships (Proverbs 28:20) In our relationship with people either f

                                       One of the most discussed topics in every facet of life is the issue or question of purpose, suddenly everyone wants to know why they are alive? What is in the spiritual manual of their lives? This particular questions among others has led to a spring of a new specialization in human behavioral question, invariably we have more motivational speakers and life coaches all round including the writer and it is not a thing of surprise.   But, before I continue I will like to look at what purpose is in the general parlance and what it is in the biblical context, generally purpose as a word means " the intention, aim or function of something; the thing that something is supposed to achieve", also it is "The reason for which something is done, or the reason it is done in a particular way". In the biblical sense, and in my opinion it cannot be more defined than the words of God in the book of Jeremiah 1:5 which I will reprodu
