Unicorns

I personally do not like unicorns at all, they are creepy.

Some people think they are beautiful, but I disagree. Anyway, that's not important, because no matter what you or I think about them.. unicorns are not real.

Have you ever seen a unicorn? No, so we all know they are not real, they don't exist. Subject over.

In the same way FAITH is not real, until it is seen (in action). No matter what you say, faith is only real in a persons life when its acted upon, until then, it is just theory. Subject over.


But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works. ” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. (James 2:18)

Don't move!

Life is hard, I don't need to tell you, you know.
But this is for those who are tired of giving up, going back to square one, listening to the doubts, allowing the problems to over ride them and the like...

Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.
(Psalm 125: 1-2)

Think with me, this verse says 'cannot' be moved. This does not mean,' unlikely to move,' 'very hard to move', 'eventually will move' etc. No, they literally CANNOT be moved.

Even in the hardest and most scariest situations, faith and trust is there.



P.s I am not really an animal lover (at all) but I do have soft spot for this cat now :)

I found me....

WHAT???? No offense, but I really dislike this saying, it is so strange and honestly I feel awkward when people say this.

'I found me'...Hellllooo, you have always been there, next to yourself ...lol (Sorry).
I do not mean to sound rude, but what a cliche.

This is what people say when they are lost, looking for something (God). They try lots of things to fill the gap (fame, drugs, parties, over indulging in studies/careers, inappropriate relationships etc) and in the end come back with nothing.....still. So in their defence of still not having peace and satisfaction in life, they say, 'I found me', because that is all they have.

There was a young lady who said a while ago 'I found myself'. Then, some time later, she said these words......I'm an artist. I paint on a smile. I'm an actress. I make it look like i'm happy. I'm a liar. I say I'm over you.


Is this someone who found themselves?
When we know God, we know who we are and this makes us secure and as much as the world tries, we do not need to try to be anything else.

How do I look?

As Christians, our appearance is very important as we represent Jesus. I believe we are obligated to look our best as His Witness. However, we can never forget that the most important part of being a Christian is a clean, well kept life. This is what differentiates us from the girls of the World. We are conscience of our appearance, but we are not ruled by it, we do not flaunt it. Natural beauty is there because it comes from within.

How many times do we ask people, 'How do I look?'...but we must also ask God, 'How do I look...INSIDE?'. We can have the most beautiful clothes, hair and jewellery, but if our inside is ugly with grudges, jealousy, and gossip, how can we really be beautiful?

So girls, keep on looking your best and most of all seek to be beautiful inside, flowing with peace, joy, kindness etc....for sure these virtues will overflow from you and people will see you are beautiful inside out!

UCKG St Lucia

Thank God, I want to share some great new with all of you!

Today is the grand opening of our Church, UCKG in St.Lucia! It will be open everyday, doing what we always do, helping people find God and a way out of their suffering.

The address is 19 Chisel Street, Castries, St Lucia. If you know anyone who lives in St.Lucia, please let them know!

My family are St Lucian, (actually, my Dad is actually from Castries itself) and I have had the privilege to go there. I last visited in 2008. It is a blessing to know family and friends will be able to find an open door at the UCKG.

Keep St Lucia UCKG in your prayers and let us thank God for one more victory!  Below is a picture of the Island and the people in Castries. Colourful aren't we?!

Hear thee, hear thee?

We often take our hearing for granted.
We even get annoyed when we hear something unpleasant.  Here is a list of some of the things I don't like to hear:

1. Loud voices
2. Loud music/TV'S/films
3. Teenagers on the top of a bus (arrrrrgggghhh!)
4. Loud or buzzing machines/gadgets
5. Drilling
6. Arguments
7. Gossip


Did you know that the last sense to go when a person is dying is their hearing? This is very interesting because if you think about it, we seem to be so 'in tune' with our other senses! We use our sight, touch, taste and smell every day. We never eat something we do not enjoy, why? because our sense of taste tells us that we don't like that type of food! We look out the window to see the weather, and our sight shows us to bring out that brolly again! (Yes, good old Britain).

Don't think that because you can physically hear, that you are listening either. We hear many things throughout the day, but are we listening?
How often has your parents told you to do something, and you don't do it?
How often has a friend needed someone to talk to, but you were too busy with yourself, or only pretended to listen to her?

Throughout the Word of God, there is the instruction for us to listen, to hear what God is saying to us. The reality is however, we are just not that good at listening.
I don't know how many times people have told me, do this, don't do that (even God Himself), but I ended up doing the opposite. Why? because I was not listening. I only 'heard'.

If you want, you can make a list of what noises you don't like to hear. Afterwards, make another list of the times you heard good advice, whether from your family, the Pastor, or God Himself.  Can you guess which list will be longer?....uh oh.

You may come to see that you do not hear as well as you think.
