Mark 5:26 She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her. The burden of sickness is a lumber on our physical body and our bank balance.

Psalms 81:6 “Now I will take the load from your shoulders; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks. The burden of worry is a backpack, the burden of sin is a blockage but the burden of success is a saddle over our head. Success is embedded in the heart of a man, however,...

Psalms 51:3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Unlike the burden of stress that is heavy behind us, the burden of sin lies before us and causes us to stumble. Genesis 4:7 “If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling; but because you have done evil, sin...

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him. Trust is another divine currency and heavenly commodity that is treasonable in times of trouble. There is a thin line between faith and trust. Faith is the core belief that “God is able to...

1 Samuel 15:22 To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. The divine currency to buy favour is ‘obedience’. God’s love for us does not change; our worst behaviour will not wear out His love nor our best deeds, increase His love. However, the ‘favour of God’...
