Love Never Fails


“Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” (1 Corinthians 13:8)

Finally, love never fails. This concludes the sixteen characteristics of love. The strength of love is proved by its permanence. Love that doesn’t bear the features described earlier will not and cannot stand the test of time.

The constancy of love is contrasted with that of prophecies, tongues and knowledge. Love is not something that you finish doing. It is rather a nature that you cultivate in you forever. Love must not be like prophecy or tongues which after they have been spoken cease. Neither must love be like knowledge that gets obsolete with time.

Love is forever fresh, ever resilient, forever vibrant, and it never ceases to exist. God is love. Therefore, love is eternal and indestructible. Love never fails.

Remain inspired!

Eyes are watching

Eyes are watching!!!!!!! Most things when done out of the sight of others, especially, things that are not worthy, what do we most of the times hear the perpetrators say; “nobody saw us or nobody was around”. Yes indeed, to them nobody saw them. But the most appropriate thing to be said is, “we did not see anybody around”, for all you know eyes are watching. The eyes that watch us one way or the other affect us, because a time will come when these same eyes are going to make decisions about us and pass out judgments. Yes, a time will come when the eyes that are monitoring and watching us will determine our future. One may ask in what way will these eyes determine our future? Let’s go to scripture and read something from there, ACTS 1:23, when the disciples had to replace Judas Iscariot, the bible says “so they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas and Mathias”. But before that, they had their criteria for choosing these two men. So you ask yourself how were the disciples able to c

A Punctuation in History

 #BeInspiredToday 20-12-2022 A Punctuation in History The birth of Jesus has permanently altered the course of history in many ways, including how dates are recorded. The current global standard for the measurement of dates is known as the Gregorian calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, under whose tenure it was instituted. Both the Gregorian calendar, and its predecessor - the Julian calendar - are based on the supposed birth date of Jesus Christ. It was Dionysius Exiguus, a Christian monk, who first proposed in the year 525 that dates be recorded in reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, hence the invention of the acronyms BC ("Before Christ") and AD ("Anno Domini" - Latin for "In the year of the Lord"). In relatively recent times, some have tried to change this with the excuse that it is not fair to other religious faiths. But no matter who likes it or not, the birth of Jesus has become a globally accepted reference point for the reckoning of dates.

Is it worth it?

“IS IT WORTH IT”? Many lament on life’s conditions The pain, the sweat, the hardships, The struggle, the anguish, the agony, The failure, the sufferings, the inflation, The deflations and the storms that come their way But then, we ask is it worth it? Why do we seek justice when we are unjust? Why do we seek a change when we are no better? Why do we accuse others when we are guilty? Why do we blame others for the misfortune? That we catalyzed? Then you ask yourself is it worth it? They say life’s unfair. Who decide what is fair and what is not? They say life’s hard. What is life being compared to that makes it hard? Who determines what is hard and what is not? The standards of life, who set them? If we set standards, limitations, goals, for ourselves, If we rule out what is good and bad, If we pinpoint what is fair and what is unfair, Then is it worth the lamentations? Pugnacious people, we are! Making us afraid of silhouettes. Yet we cry out for peace Is it worth it? We choose to be
