WELCOME
A message across the seaYou can do it, it’s quite freeIn a bottle it will floatPassing by a ship or boatBut what does the contents say?Would it serve to make your day?It may also bring some fearsShould the bottle contain tears From somebody far awayWho to God he tends to prayAs he knows God saves all tearsFrom ourselves and our peersIn a bottle He saves allHe record a rise and fallWhen we’re trampled He knows tooSo I put my trust in You
Thus replacing all our fearsThose recorded as our tearsPraise His Word “God is for me”From all tears He sets me freeAs to Him you are faithfulThe "tear bottle” becomes fullWith compassion He will lookEvery tear is in His bookJesus rested, at times sleptEvenmore He also weptAll emotions, gifts from GodSo to weep there’s nothing oddTears can make, our eyes soreOne day tears will be no moreFrom our eyes He’ll make tears goLiving water will then flow
DIGITAL BIBLE FOR KIDSWe live in the digital and electronic era. Our children talk about games more than we ever did in our time. Amongst themselves they talk about,PC games and mobile app games of super heroes and mighty warriors, that win, avenge, save and all the rest.The Bible also talk about such Hero and Saviour with unique super powers. How great would it be if the same interest they have in these games, gets applied biblically in their Christian lives? What can we do to help them have more interest in the things of God? Is our example helping them? What are they learning from us?Our children have what some of us never had. The Bible is available to them in all kinds of digital forms. They have the perfect digital script, historically and digitally narrated. Are we making it available to them? Do we sit with them with enthusiasm to read or see a biblical film about a hero in the Bible?Let's pray so that what should be natural in our Christian children won't be darkened by today's influences..

WOLMarriage Devotion
The Bible has much to say about the concept of “words.” The Word that came out of God become flesh. Whatever God says is good in any context. He speaks good things. God spoke and things came into existence. God speaks His Word, which includes all form of messages. Some are: uplifting, speak life, judge and condemn. All He says is good. On the other hand, Satan speaks as well, and quote Scripture. However, he does it wrong and out of context such as when he used the Scripture with Jesus. That is because, by nature, he is a liar and a murderer, and his words are motivated by hatred and evil. Therefore, words are powerful and we need to be careful how to use them. Many marriages break down because of the wrong use of words. Either by the emotional way they are said or the motivation behind them, words can
unnecessarily destroy a marriage. We learn that in relationships, especially in marriage, we are to speak words of affirmation. These are words that build, strengthen, and encourage. In other words, these words are to give life to the spouse. When spouses speak uplifting words, they not only build the partner, but according to Proverbs 18:21, they also build themselves. The question then comes. How can I speak uplifting words when my spouse is doing the opposite I expect? The answer is well known: speak the truth with love. The Spirit of God empowers us to speak words to build and not to destroy. One can always talk about the truth in love. The fruit of the spouses’ mouth comes from what the heart is full of. Therefore what is in the heart comes out from the mouth. If we are filled with the Holy Spirit and want the best for our spouse even when we feel the contrary, it will bring satisfaction to us and blesses the marriage and God. Then, our marriages are strengthened.
Prov 18:21From the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is filled;with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
