 Breaking Free From a Begging Mentality - Daniel Cole At some stage in our life, we all live at the expense of others, but the challenge is that many don't seems to really outgrow this stage. They go through life with a "You Owe Me" mentality. They are always at the receiving end in every relationships, always on the lookout for what to get. They present their challenges pathetically to earn cheap empathy. When they are fortunate to meet a person of influence the first they think of is how to be a financial beneficiary of such influence, and these often leads to them not having any genuine, credible relationships around their life because virtually everyone they've met have been chased away as a result of their needful lifestyle. As a child of the Most High, we should not completely live our life at the benevolence of others, such lifestyle does not in any way reflects the true nature of Christ. We are not nomadic, we are not wanderers, we are an embodiment of ...

  Friendship is Crucial - Daniel Cole Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break. Ecclesiastes 4:12 GNB Those who often fall victims of the devil vices are often those he successfully isolate from their spiritual circle, friendship and Christian home, as the verse above reflect. Friendship is crucial as we navigate life. Doing our daily life alone really is the pits.

We want to be received as we are now and encouraged to grow into who God created us to be. We find God as we love each other. There is power in presence. In the same way that God is with us, we demonstrate his character and nature when we choose to be with others. Presence provides comfort, care, and a sense of security. It’s choosing to sit down with someone in the middle of his or her journey, an...

Living With Uncertainty - Daniel Cole   For we do not know... Romans 8:26B Ask any divorced or separated couples if they knew from onset, during honeymoon, "while the love was still young" that just few years down the line they both will be living separately and those vows exchanged at the alter will no longer matter? Of course, they knew not. Ask the student who burn candles all night trying all he could to ensure he doesn't fail those subjects, but on getting the results he didn't meet up with the cut-off mark, if he knew that would be the outcome? Of course not? Ask the 15 years old orphan that life accidentally thrust into parenthood, having to look after his siblings if he knew that was the fate life cut out for him? Of course not. How often have we also in the context of affirming our certainty or uncertainty  ask our partner "Do you love me? " One thing I know for sure is that nothing is for sure. When life hit us with painful ...

“FACING OUR FEARS by Daniel Cole   Have you ever walked down a street late at night with little streetlight and people lurking ahead in the distance? This causes fear in us and that fear often makes us change direction. We turn around, going back the way that we came, thinking that the new route will be safer. We walk away from the danger we see in front of us. This is the power of fear. It reroutes us, diverts us, like a spiritual Satnav changing our direction. In this story of walking down a dark street, our fear worked as a survival mechanism and might have saved us from danger, but in our walk with God the enemy uses the same fear tactics to derail us from our destiny. The Bible says the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy; walking around like a lion seeking to devour its prey. The enemy uses fear to stop us going where God has called us to go, and stop us from reaching the people God wants us to reach – friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues. It st...

SURVIVING THE TIMES As the saying goes, “Change is inevitable and constant.” Change comes in every aspect of our lives, our attitudes, character, intelligence, behavior, actions, reactions, way of live and people actions towards us. Times, Times can be defined as stages in ones or people lives when things are not going well or right. What can cause this? This is a big question that can only be answered by yourself.

The Power of Asking Percy Ross once said “You’ve got to ask. Asking, in my opinion, is the world’s most powerful and neglected secret to success and happiness.” People are afraid to ask because they don’t want to look needy, foolish or stupid. They are afraid of experiencing rejection. There are afraid of hearing the word No. The sad thing is that they’ve actually rejected themselves in advance. They are saying no to themselves before anyone else even has a chance to. Never assume people will not help you until they personally say so. Don’t underestimate the power of asking. Don’t assume that you are going to get a No. Take the risk to ask for whatever you need and want. If they say no, you are not worse off than when you started. If they say yes, you are a lot better off. The universe is filled with endless options for you. Whatever you would like to have is yours for the asking. It can be about relationships, finance, career, freedom or anything. The most important thing is t...
