Do you know you could have Jesus in your life and yet experience hardships and setbacks? You could have Jesus in your home and yet experience disaster!
Someone once said to me: Father I am devastated: after enthroning the altar to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in my home, I experienced a great disaster in my business that shook my faith and made me question God: Are you truly with me?

When we encounter roadblocks or difficulties in our pursuits in life, the solutions our minds habitually develop are often different from what God would […]

Spiritual fruits are evidence of the growth of the Divine seed planted in you. Though every seed has potential to grow, however its growth depends on the type of soil where it was planted. Just as farmers make conscious efforts to prepare the land before planting so as to secure a rich harvest. So also […]

Getting closer to God is not an easy task, but it is highly rewarding. It involves certain deliberate and consistent actions. While some freely see the need to get closer to God, others don’t until faced with adversity.

Many persons today who are hurting, dying, depressed and suffering inwardly use ‘different stones’ and sometimes, ‘colourful stones’ to seal their caves and hide away their hurts, sufferings and sorrows from the public.

Even though complaining is described as a form of communication, too much of it is destructive. Nothing good comes out of complaining because it makes you focus on the problem rather than the solution. In relating to God, many complain thinking they are praying and they don’t realise it!
