How Embracing Failure Fuels Personal Growth and Success.  Failure is something every one of us encounters at some stage, whether it’s missing out on a new job, dropping the ball at work, or simply not reaching a personal goal. In Australian culture, there’s often a fondness for the underdog—those who get knocked down but bounce back stronger. Rather than seeing failure as the end of the road, it’s worth recognising it as a valuable part of the journey. The key to overcoming failure lies not in trying to avoid it, but in how we respond when things go pear-shaped. It’s natural to feel disappointed, but taking the time to reflect on what went wrong can reveal important lessons. Did you rush your prep? Was there a communication breakdown? Honest self-assessment helps pinpoint what can be done differently next time. Learning from mistakes isn’t just about avoiding repeat blunders. It’s also about developing resilience—the mental muscle that helps us keep going when the chips are...

  I would like to share my thoughts on letting HEAVENLY FATHER take care of you! In today's world, where we are bombarded with “don’t stop, don’t quit mentality", it can be hard to take a rest, reset, or break from daily life pursuits. Because we've been programed to think we should always be strong, and ready to go at all times. Mind you: don't-quit-don't-give-up" isn’t necessarily bad! As there’s nothing wrong with striving for a better outcome in life. It's the way we go about it; that can have either a positive or a negative impact on us: hence this blog. But as believers in the Lord JESUS CHRIST, our Scripture told us in Philippians 4:6, to be content with whatever we have, and to ask GOD for our desires in humility with thanksgiving. This is because, whatever we need to accomplish any purpose in life, HEAVENLY FATHER has already provided it. How do I know this?   The answer is found in Mathew 6: 30-33! The Lord JESUS told us not to lust after...

The rapture (1st Thessalonians 4:16-17) is the most debated topic in the Christian/Believers community-worldwide!  While some Christians insist, true believers will be removed from the impending doom; that’ll come upon the earth in the last days, (Revelation 3:10) others, counters the notion with a passage from the same book (Revelation 7:14.) With these opinions raging in the community of Believers, it can be intimidating to take a stand. But recently, the Lord brought something to my attention, from the book of 2nd Thessalonians 2:6-7. This verse led me to understand that GOD is the Spirit withholding the forces of evil of this current world, in its fullness. In coming to this realization, I asked myself, why would GOD do that? Could it be because GOD is waiting for the number of HIS chosen to be fulfilled, (John 10:16) so GOD can remove them from the Earth (1st Thessalonians 4: 16-18), as well as HIS Spirit, before letting HIS wrath (tribulation and great tribulation) descen...
