Advancing God's Kingdom in the Family System
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers in the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and everyone celebrating Mother’s day today! How awesome!

In 2021, Our Given Purpose: Bible Study and Daily Devotional extended Christian Mommas a collaboration opportunity. The opportunity was taken with delight to continue advancing God’s kingdom through written words. Collaborating with fellow believers often provides the encouragement we all need to keep walking in our God-given purpose. Here is an excerpt from this month’s […]
Then the angel replied to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a cloud]; for that reason the holy (pure, sinless) Child shall be called the Son of God…Then Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; may it be done to me […]
Many of us live in societies where food is for grabs at every corner. Consequently, we often eat out of habit and not real hunger. We need to make a conscious decision to fast amid a food abundance. Fasting is an ancient discipline that is not so popular in our society and even in today’s […]
Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, relies on) Me [as Savior] will live even if he dies; and everyone who lives and believes in Me [as Savior] will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 (AMP) Do you believe the Words of […]
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. John 6:56 (KJV) Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (KJV) And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, […]
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain [useless, amounting to nothing], and your faith is also vain [imaginary, unfounded, devoid of value and benefit—not based on truth]. 1 Corinthians 15:13-14 (AMP) Never entertain the […]
As we recently celebrated my oldest daughter’s 14th Birthday, I reflected on my teenage years and the challenges I faced, and the journey towards realizing who I am and who God created me to be. It is so important to instill in our children their true identity—guide them to discover their true identity. Help them […]
My usual morning foray found me in line at my favorite coffee shop. In front of me stood a young teen boy, perhaps a freshman in high school dressed in NFL football gear to warm his morning. Brrrr! It was a subzero morning standard for winter. The teen boy avoided eye contact and stood back […]
As my older children are fast approaching young adult age, I am becoming more aware of the importance of the right career choice for each of them, especially in the uncertain times we live now, where things are changing and shifting every day. I was blessed with parents and an older sister who recognized my […]
Bible meditation is the highest form of meditation because the Word is light and we are lighted by the entrance of God’s Word, empowering us to be the light of the world, functioning from a realm far above the natural mind (Psalm 119:130; 1 Thessalonians 5:5). Bible meditation involves studying and pondering God’s Word or […]
1 Peter 3:1-9 (AMP) In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won […]
In honor of African American History Month, I am sharing REDEMPTION. Please watch and share with others. Love births hope and healing. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5:24 (KJV) After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one […]
Scriptures to ponder: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Matthew 24:6-7 (KJV) […]
There are seven types of love- eros, philia, storge, agape, ludus, pragma, and philautia. Out of these 7, agape (selfless) love is the one that is defined in 1 Corinthians 13, the Love Chapter. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist […]
Someone recently presented me with this scenario: You can receive a billion dollars today, but you have to divorce your spouse in order to receive it. What would you do? I paused for a moment before answering the question. I began to reflect on all that I have shared with my husband over the past […]
So get rid of all uncleanness and all that remains of wickedness, and with a humble spirit receive the word [of God] which is implanted [actually rooted in your heart], which is able to save your souls. James 1:21 (AMP) Humbly receiving the Word of God by allowing God’s Word to guide how we do […]
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:5 (NLT) Before receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the disciples relied on their natural strengths to love Jesus. Unfortunately, their strengths […]
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I […]
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 (CEV) This is the truth- God wants you to love yourself. It is not an opinion, but an instruction […]
“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 (NIV) Does anyone find it hard sometimes to put your emotions aside and walk in love with your spouse? Have you ever had a disagreement with your spouse and perhaps said something that you shouldn’t have […]
For Sunday Sundae, I am giving you my friends a sneak peek into a mindfulness reading plan that kept me awake for hours. I kept writing and the revelation kept unfolding. Alleluia! Yall, I am working on my dissertation (part of God’s will for my life), but the passion to keep blogging and getting these […]

A preview of the reading plan, Ghosts in My Nursery It is common knowledge that marital/partner relationships affect parenting and several studies support this fact.
