Take Heed


Wherefore let him that think he stand take heed lest he fall. - 1 Corinthians 10:12

In Luke 22:31-34, Jesus told Peter tat the devil desire to have him but He has prayed for Him. Peter instead started to argue with Jesus that anywhere He goes, he will follow, even into the prison. Peter believes he is firm enough to stay with Jesus. Jesus replied him that he will denied Him thrice. And that was what happened.

 Believers these days tend to think certain things can not happen to them because they have come too far in the Lord. Apostle Paul knew some of the Corinthians are like that which is why he advised them. 

No matter how righteous you might think you are, you need to be spiritually alert always. Many great men and women of God have fallen. Don't form spiritual pretence. Don't think you can't fall into temptation. Don't think you can't fall. David despite his relationship with God still fall into sexual sin with Bethsheba. 

The devil never relent in attacking believers all the time. At the time you think you are standing firm rooted in God, that is when the devil will come with his challenges to test your faith.

Humility should be our lifestyle. Peter has good intention no doubt but he wasn't alert enough. We are not yet perfect to be immune to temptation. As long as we are on this earth, we need to be careful and be watchful.


It's a beautiful Sunday, Good Morning and a Happy Sunday to you.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
