Advancing God's Kingdom
You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to […]
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Proverbs 29:15 (KJV) Would you like to become a member of God’s family? Please say the prayer below and let me know about it here. Say this: Heavenly Father,I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe you exist and you […]
Psalm 122:6-8(KJV) Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. When there is lawlessness and wickedness in […]
September is Infant Mortality Awareness month. It is also Suicide Awareness Month. Earlier this month, I shared a post on Infant Loss and Preterm Births. Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of infant mortality (Infant death before the first birthday). Sadly, infanticide or homicide is another leading cause of infant deaths. Homicide is […]
Notes from my devotional time today: Offense is inevitable, but taking offense is optional. Forgiveness is not optional for those who serve God. Forgiveness is a duty and it takes faith to forgive. Forgiveness is an act of obedience and faith. I must be merciful like my father in heaven. He has been merciful to […]
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and […]
Sometimes, I feel like the little ones are getting in the way of my academic and career goals. I must not forget that family is more important than my academics and career. If I resent caring for my family because of my academics or career, it will reflect and affect my family life. I must […]
Over the past few days, we focused on not taking offense. Today, we will focus on not giving offense. When an offensive comment or action is produced in a situation, one person takes offense, and the other gives offense. Living unoffendable also involves us not giving offense as well. 2 Corinthians 6:3-4 (KJV) says, “Giving […]
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24: 15-16 (kJV) In Acts 24:15-16, paul reveals three keys to mastering […]
The actions of loved ones, church folks, and unbelievers can leave us feeling offended. When offense lingers long enough, it leads to unforgiveness, bitterness, and a legion of negative emotions and sin. These things are unhealthy for our spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Most notably, they hinder our prayers. Mark 11:25 (KJV) says, “And when […]
In 2020, God opened up a door of partnership with YouVersion, the Bible App. Since then, I have made it a goal to write one or two devotionals/reading plans monthly. Other members of the Christian Mommas team have also freely contributed devotionals. Together, we have written 25 devotionals/reading plans to encourage our brothers and sisters […]
Offense is a negative emotion that stems from being dishonored, disrespected, or mistreated. We feel offended because of what we think about the actions of others. Consequently, our thoughts are responsible for the negative feeling of offense. While we cannot always control people’s actions, we can learn how to control our response (mentally and emotionally) […]
Last Sunday was Grandparent’s Day, and I am here to play catch-up. Godly Grandparents are a blessing to every family. I admire their wisdom, patience, and love. Today and everyday, I celebrate the little ones’ grandparents. When parents honor grandparents, they cultivate a transgenerational culture of honor. Exodus 20:12 (KJV) Honour thy father and thy […]
The past few days have been uncomfortable for the little one, due to teething. Today, I realized I have not prayed for strength for him navigate this period. I prayed as soon as it came to mind and I am glad I serve a God I can talk to about my child’s teething experience. Trust […]
September is Infant Mortality Awareness Month. Infant mortality is the death of a child before the first birthday or first year of life. Premature birth is one of the leading causes of Infant Mortality. Whenever you see a preemie, know that you are seeing a miracle. While I have read scholarly articles to educate myself […]
Deuteronomy 8:11 (NLT) But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today. This year, it is more evident that many have forgotten. While grieving the state of the United States, […]
Hi friends, Since the beginning of the week, I have been refueling at my local church’s Summer camp meeting. Today, I realized I could get more people to drink with me and get the fire burning in more places. If you are hungry for something more, please connect with us online 7 PM EST tonight, […]

Non-political and Mental health views on abortion. Please read the article.😉 If you disagree, respectfully scroll away and go conduct your own […]
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25 (NLT) They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—all the […]

September 11, 2021 is another National Day of Prayer in the United States, let’s humble ourselves and seek God. Blessings!
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)~ In every thing, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. As a parent, I am learning to give thanks for everything because it shifts my mindset and helps me master negative emotions. Much more than that, it is God’s will for me to give […]
And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. As the church submits to Christ, so you […]
I am thankful for the opportunity to homeschool my preschooler. Homeschooling is one of the privileges of living and parenting in the United States.
