Glorious Riches: Generosity Calls for Deeper Faith

Generosity is not just feeding the hungry right off the bat!
We are living under a generational curse-scarcity.
Our minds are conditioned to operate based on a selfish- herd principle, wherein as if in a reflex, we put our own personal interests first, then the surplus, if hardly there is any, would be subsidized to share to the church and to the people.
CERTAINLY, in the present time, war and its accompanying grief, is a smaller threat compared to our modern monster: APATHY.
My goal is to help you renew your mind pattern to see generosity in a different light.
That to help other people is not a part- time job;
Nor to serve the LORD is an addition to your life but the source of life itself!
Generosity rises from the glorious riches that the LORD has provided to us. The question is, are you aware?
It is time to step out from the lukewarm faith.
Deep calls deep!
The season of watching from the backseat has ended; a new spring has come!
Participate! Drive the steering wheel!
And if you don't know how,
There is a book for that.

All That Was Left of Me
He was lost. Worn down by the past, unsure of the future. But even in the silence, something greater was calling. This is a story about grace, healing, and the love that never lets go. Content Note: This story includes themes of grief and healing following the death of a loved one by suicide (not depicted on the page), as well as scenes involving a serious car accident, medical trauma, and emotional distress in a hospital setting. Reader care is encouraged. Author's Note: This story is very personal to me. Growing up, I experienced deep struggles with depression. I'm grateful to say that I no longer carry those thoughts, but those moments shaped me-and they left behind a softness in my heart for anyone who is hurting in silence. I wrote this book to explore the grief that often goes unspoken, the quiet battles people face, and the power of showing up for someone-even when they seem like a stranger. Sometimes the people who seem "attention-seeking" are actually crying out for help the only way they know how. I've been there. And I know how much it matters when someone chooses to care anyway. At the heart of this story is my faith. I believe in God wholeheartedly, and it's His love that carried me through my darkest seasons. This book is a reflection of that-of how God gives us second chances, how He sits with us in the pain, and how He brings healing even when everything feels broken. If you're hurting, please know this: you are not alone. There is hope. There is help. And there is a God who sees you, loves you, and wants to carry you through. Please reach out: U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Available 24/7, completely free, and confidential. You can also talk to a trusted friend, family member, pastor, counselor, or anyone who can walk with you through the darkness. There's no shame in needing support. Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do.Complete
Unveiled
I started pushing Noah's arms away from me. "Ma..... May I have a word with you" I said to Noah walking out of the kitchen without waiting for his reply. I walked at the corner of the living room and waited for Noah to come. He came after a few seconds and stood in front of me. The first thing I did was check his temperature with my hand. I am glad he didn't move back to my touch. Instead he was analyzing me. "Are you alright" I asked. He looked at me in confusion. "I am fine. Why?" He asked. "Did you hit your head somewhere" I asked. "No" he said. "Then why aren't you afraid of women. You used to always avoid talking to them or being near them. But today, you.... you are talking to me an........and touching me. That isn't normal........." I stopped speaking when he again started walking towards me. Instantly my feet started moving back. I stopped walking when I felt the wall hit my back. He stood in front of me keeping his hand against my head, bending down to my level looking into my eyes. "What isn't normal" he asked. My eyes flicked to his lips for a second which looked soft. "You.......You are speaking with me. You al.... always ignore me" I said. ****************** Alena Lincoln, the invisible twin. Wanting for love, wanting to achieve her dreams.

Anchored To Hope
In everything we face, every predicament that comes our way, there is always two ways of looking at it. Circumstances come for a reason. There are meant to make us grow, to make us become better and blossom into more. They don't come so that we shrink to less but so that we become more splendid. To be more extraordinary. To use every moment to fill yourself up.We are not helpless as God's people, neither are we vulnerable to the wiles of the enemy. It's the reason we can count it all joy when we go through diverse tests: we have what it takes to go through the fire and not be burnt, and go through the waters and not drown.Complete
Go Vertical: 21 Days To An Improved Prayer Life
I have always felt saddened by the unnecessary guilt people seem to feel the moment the topic of prayer comes up in a conversation. It seems like they believe that they will never be good enough and pray long enough to experience delight in prayer. But talking to your heavenly Father should be a delight and something you can look forward to! Don't you agree? For many believers, their prayer lives have become a desolate battleground of personal failure. This is so unnecessary! A few slight adjustments can lift your chin as you look into the loving eyes of your heavenly Father! In this book, I have compiled twenty one principles to help you enter this wide-open, expansive world of joyful prayer. For the next twenty one days, do one thing extra every day as you journey through different instructions from the Bible. Resist the temptation to rush ahead and finish this book in a single setting. Rather, savor the day's lesson and allow yourself to ponder its implications. Then, the next day, when you add a new strategy, you will not forget the previous day's lesson. At first, it will feel like a new discipline, but you will quickly break through into pure delight. Sooner than you think, you will enjoy your prayer journey with God! Thank you for reading!Complete
He saved you He saved me What about others?
The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!Complete
Being the difference I want to see in the world.
As sad as it may be, we live in a world where the rich are getting richer, and the poor live in worse conditions every day. A world where people have to live behind masks and hide who they truly are, just to be accepted into this corrupted society. A world where everyone primarily thinks of himself and not about what he could to help his brother in need? Dive into my vision, be bold enough to read these chapters, and accept that you may have also been committing these mistakes that corrupt our society and together, let us grow into better versions of ourselves and begin to wonder; what if this had happened to me? How would I have reacted? What can I do to change my community? What if I decide to manifest my dreams every day instead of wishing they would happen? Every single part of this will be entirely unique but all interconnected by one subject, "the human nature". Only together can we change the world, don't be so lazy to think that it is the government's job to do so; take your responsibilities and act to see a change.Complete

Slums to Riches |✔
Slums. Not a great way to start a story of success right? Especially when you have a grudge from the higher society but still want to be a part of them. No education, barely knowing how to read or write was the identity of the kids living there. Forced to grow up in an enviornment they didn't choose for themselves. One thing became clear in their mind from the day they were born... Money is everything. Money is power, money is life. If you have no money you will be crushed under the feet of those who do have it. Because in our country, the richer gets richer and the poorer, well.... they either stay where they are or they get buried with no trace in history. A Wattpad Original.Complete
