Practising the Presence of God (2), By Femi Aribisala
God should become our living and walking consciousness. This is the heritage of our redemption and atonement. Are you careful with the way you spend your money? Well, what about your time? How do you spend it? Time is one of the most precious “commodities” we have. David says to…
Practising the Presence of God, By Femi Aribisala
What the thief wants to kill, steal and destroy is our relationship with God. Most Christians don’t know what it means to be saved. If you ask us, we are likely to say we are saved from the agony of spending eternity in hell. Or we might say we are…
