Title: What is the Primary Focus of Your Life?
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4 KJV
 Devotion: In the world of today, there too many things we have to do daily. A typical day of a couple is to wake up early, prepare the meal, dress the children and hurry up to work. At work many things have to be done, then rush to pick the children, visit the grocery and back home for the mom. The dad may have late business meeting, visit the club and when home surf the net or watch movies, interesting program on tv etc. 
There's no time to read the Bible, I am not talking of study the bible. There is practically no time to fellowship with members during the week days. Most people go to church only on Sunday morning and from there take the children out to the amusement park or restaurant or shopping.
 Dearly beloved in the midst of all these when do you study the bible? I counsel that we wake up early to have a quality hour with God, and before going to bed have another family prayer meeting. We should have a temple at home where we meet God, that will make the place special. When we are there phones should be turned off. Let's try it and make Jesus our focus just like David made God his focus. Testimonies await you. Hallelujah.

The God's Cruel Jest

The Gods' Cruel Jest The gods, in their wisdom, whispered lies,   Turned my thoughts into stormy skies.   Madness they gave as a bitter gift,   A mind adrift, with no anchor to lift.   At the peak of reason, they laughed and fled,   Leaving me tangled in webs I’d spread.   The path I walked was mine to choose,   Yet in their game, I was meant to lose.   Oh, folly, how sweetly you danced in my head,   Guiding my steps to where reason had bled.   The brink of ruin, a step away,   As shadows consumed the light of day.   In the mirror, I see the gods’ cruel jest,   A soul unmoored by madness possessed.   But in this storm, a truth is born:   To rise anew, one must be torn.   For when the gods seek to destroy,   They first offer madness as their ploy.   But from the ashes of such despair,   I’...

The Strands of Marriage in the Era of Divorce

I'm not in a relationship, so you might be wondering why I’m talking about marriage. Fair question! But you don’t need to be married to observe what keeps relationships alive and thriving. Watching relationships around me, hearing stories, and learning from friends and family, I’ve come to appreciate a few truths that might resonate with anyone, single or married. So, humor me as I share what I believe are the "strands" that hold a marriage together—especially in an era where divorce seems to loom larger than ever. To start, I believe that God should be at the very heart of every marriage. The Bible in Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “a cord of three strands is not easily broken,” suggesting that a marriage grows stronger when God is a part of it. Having God at the center brings a sense of guidance, patience, and stability to the relationship, providing wisdom during the tough times and reminding both partners of the love and forgiveness they are meant to show each other. When Go...

Growing Together, Not Apart: How to Evolve as a Couple

Introduction: Reflecting on Relationship Dynamics When we think about growing together as a couple, it’s easy to assume that simply being in love will keep us on the same path. But true growth requires intentional work, honesty, and a willingness to confront difficult truths. Although I'm not currently in a relationship, my past experiences taught me some profound lessons about what it takes to nurture a connection that grows stronger over time. In my last relationship, I faced a range of issues: misaligned communication styles, differences in upbringing, and unmet expectations. These are experiences I carry forward as I learn what it takes to foster a relationship that grows together rather than apart. 1. The Importance of Self-Awareness and Growth in Relationships One of the hardest lessons I learned was about the importance of paying attention to red flags, even when it feels easier to overlook them. In my last relationship, I started noticing signs that my ex might be unfaithfu...
