THE LAW OF INCREASE

The law of increase is also called the law of harvest, or the law of use. It is God's will for us to have increase. Increase in our spirituality, mental capacity, skills, knowledge, wisdom, faith, health, wealth and influence. Basically in every areal of our lives we can and must increase. In the book of Matthew 25:15 we find the parable of the talents. The Parable of the Talents describes a man who gave each of his three servants an amount of money, each according to his ability, before he left on a trip. When he returned, he had the servants give an account of what they had done with the money. The first two servants in the parable put their money to work and doubled it, which pleased their master. But the third one was afraid and hid the money so he wouldn’t make his master angry by losing it. However, his master was angry because he didn’t even deposit the money in a bank to earn interest. The master considered him wicked and lazy for doing nothing at all and gave his money to...

THE CYCLE OF NARCISSISM

Narcissistic abuse usually follows a predictable pattern:  1. Love-Bombing: Overwhelming affection to gain your trust. 2. Devaluation: Subtle criticism and neglect to break your confidence. 3. Discard: Leaving or emotionally withdrawing when you’re no longer useful. 4. Hoovering: Returning to restart the cycle when they sense you pulling away. This pattern keeps you trapped in confusion and self-doubt. You will be filled with a lot of anxiety because you are always second-guessing yourself and your actions.

Their chaos becomes your normal. You become unstable so much that instability becomes your new normal.  You want to breako...

SABBATH: God’s Principle for a Renewed Life

In the fast-paced world we live in, where busyness is often glorified and rest seen as a luxury, it’s easy to overlook one of God’s most profound principles: REST. From the very beginning, rest has been a part of God’s divine design for humanity. In Genesis 2:2-3, we read that after creating the heavens and the earth in six days, God rested on the seventh day, blessing it and setting it apart as holy. This act wasn’t because God was tired—He is omnipotent and doesn’t grow weary. Instead, it was a model for us, His creation, to follow. The Jewish people have long observed the Sabbath as a day of rest and worship, a time to cease from labor and reconnect with God. But in the New Testament, we find that Jesus redefines this concept. Hebrews 4:10 tells us, “For anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from His.” Christ is our ultimate Sabbath, offering us rest from the labor of striving to earn God’s favor. Through His finished work on the cross, we are inv...
