Ladies, do not compromise

Hello, LWM! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I did by the Grace of God. Today, I would like to encourage us to stay firm in our faith. I had a chat with a friend of mine over the weekend and we were discussing about who we must marry. It was going nowhere because the person believed that she could still date an unbeliever and still be in the Will of God. I did give her the scriptures which clearly showed that God would not allow such a relationship but it was a waste of time. I am believing God that He will convince her to accept this truth. Ladies, I would like to encourage us to stay firm and not compromise our faith in Christ. We cannot play with our life this way. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so we better be careful when it comes to choose our partner for life. I was saying to the person that I understood her view but I did not support it. I understood the fact that she said " what if I fell in love with an unbeliever?, Am I sinning?". I have been there. I

Ladies, do not get twisted about your identity in Christ

Hello LWM! I hope you had a wonderful week. Today, I would like to encourage us to be faithful to who we are in Christ. A certain preacher said once, "each Christian has his season". It is true! Sometimes, we are so in fire for the Lord, we do not have to be pushed to preach the good news but sometimes also we feel weak and you forget who we are. I have to say and I notice it from my personal experience that it is when we feel weak that we tend to sin more, and it gets worse when we put our weapon away : the Word of God. It is also when we are weak that you tend to compromise a lot. The Bible says that " do not be conformed to this world" but to be renewed in our minds by the power of the Holy Spirit. Here, I would like to share with you two thoughts that what said by my Bishops. Bishop Dag Heward Mills said " you are what you see. What are you watching? "and lady Reverend Adelaide said" to know who you are, you must know who you ar

Ladies, do you know the Holy Spirit?

Hello LWM! I hope you are all doing well. Today I would like to share with you what I have learnt from our celebration convention over the last three days in our church in Randburg( Lighthouse Chapel International). The whole convention theme was centred on the Holy Spirit. How many of us knew that the Holy Spirit is not just a sweet influence, a mighty wind but that he is a person above all? For those who did not know that let me give you some of the characteristics of the Holy Spirit. 1. The Holy Spirit is our consellor and helper(John 14:26). Do you think that a force can be able to advise you? He must surely have a mind and some intellect to perform this function. 2. From the same chapter, we learn that the Holy Spirit is the One who help us to remember. Can a force help you to remember something? I don't think so. A force does not have any  intelligence or any abilities that could make him perform this function. 3. The Holy Spirit can be grieved(Ephes

Ladies do not give up .....You can make it

Hello LWM! I believe Christ that we are all doing well. I pray that this week may be a blessing to you. May you listen to God's Voice in everything you do and plan to do. Today, I want to ask you something: have you ever thought of giving up because you see that you are growing up in your walk with Christ? Yesterday, I was talking to someone and the perso wanted to give up for she noticed that since she became a christian she is still struggling with some issues. I have to say sometimes it does also happen to me. Do not get me wrong, it is because I am writing on this blog that it means that I do not have issues at all. I mean I am also a human being, someone who tries to live like Christ. We are all trying, none of us is there yet. If you also feel like giving up let me encourage you dear sister. Do not give up, keep fighting. the christian life is a constant fight, and we can only triumph in Christ Jesus. God is with us, He will help us to overcome our issues, because

Ladies, be accountable to one another!

Hello LWM, I trust the Lord you are doing well. Sorry for the long silence, I was busy with assignments and meanwhile I was away on vacation. Today, I just wanted to encourage you. I believe as Christians we need to encourage each other. It is so important. The Bible says in Romans 1: 11" I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong- 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith." Paul knew that as followers of Christ it is so important to be encouraged in our walk with Christ. When we go through trials, we need to be strengthened through the Word by reading and meditate upon it but also through our fellowship with our brethren. I am one of the people who believe that accountability is important in our lives. We need to be accountable to one another. In my Christian walk, I learnt to have people around me even to choose people who will become my partners in the ministry. There are all diffe
