Your Past Mistakes Do Not Define Who You Are -Babatunde Olugboji The narrative of Judah in Genesis 38 is illustrative of the fact that a fault in your family line doesn’t exclude you from divine favor.  Judah did some really horrible things, he took some steps that he shouldn’t have taken. He slept with Tamar, his daughter in law, admittedly inadvertently, and Tamar gave birth to twin boys.  Perez and his twin brother Zerah were the product of the shocking one-night stand between Tamar and Judah. Despite the errors in the life of his parents, Perez grew up to become…

INSPIRATION:  #FactsOfLife High Points: How is it that you do not understand? (Mark 8:21) By Iruofagha James “Whose unbelief is stopping God from working in your life?” “Whenever we dispute God’s word it’s like testing His validity and we will fail to enjoy His blessings.” “There is foundational truth in the word of God; tested on principles and other keys.” “No prayers can take the place or eliminate seed planting keys.

The Spiritual Nature of the Marketplace By Femi Adebayo “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”. Ephesians 6:12. Everyone Is a Spiritual Being People are innately spiritual and (whether or not they recognize it) are involved in a life-long quest for enlightenment and fulfillment.
