I AM WHO I AM- Part 1
“Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ I AM THAT I AM can simply be translated to mean the Multifaceted God, Many Sided God, Complicated God. The scripture below reveals that the intention of our Heavenly Father was and still is to use us to demonstrate to all His adversaries His many sides and diversity of wisdom. Ephesians 3:10

10 Most Frequently Asked Questions about the Bible - Part 1
Here are answers to some of the general most frequently asked questions about the Bible. Each response includes related Bible references to help guide deeper study.
Navigating through Life’s Difficulties. John 16:33
Hardship, pain, and struggle are part of the human journey; yet, with faith, we can find strength, growth, and purpose even in the hardest times.
Living by Faith as a young believer.
Serving God in one's youth establishes a solid foundation for life, enabling divine guidance in decision-making. By entrusting your path to God, who possesses perfect wisdom, you open yourself to His direction. The benefits of serving God during adolescence include the ability to turn challenges into opportunities for growth, experiencing joy even amidst adversity, and living a life filled with purpose. Hebrews 10:39.
Making the Right Choices
You will agree with me that life is full of choices. Making a choice is the act or an instance of choosing or selecting. It involves an exercise of power and alternative. It is a game of power and alternative. Power in the sense of the Almighty God’s amazing gift of self will to His creature man, and alternative because choice involves deciding between competing things or persons. The obvious example is Adam and Eve in Genesis 2v16-17 - God said to man you can eat every tree of the garden, but avoid the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day you eat of that tree you will die”. That is choice on display. Making choices is a function of knowledge, that is why you will hear expressions like “informed decision”. So God didn’t leave Adam and Eve in the dark when He gave the command, he told him the consequence of eating the tree, which is death and not eating of the tree in order to live.
How to Live Everyday by Faith
Living by the Word is the life of faith. Every believer who desires to have a victorious life in Christ must live by faith because it is one's faith that makes one an overcomer. Scripture makes it clear that living by faith is synonymous to living a victorious life. But what does it really mean to live by faith?

Maximizing Your Encounters With God Beyond Youth Camp Ireland 2024
After the Youth Camp Ireland, I have observed a yearning in the hearts of many to take your walk with God serious - that increased love and hunger stirred up in your heart for God is God pulling you closer to Himself, just like Moses in the burning bush experience and Samuel with the voice of God that pulled him to a greater walk. My question to you is, what will you do with that pull? In this generation there are many just like you whom God is pulling, but your response will determine the outcome of your walk with Him. I would encourage you to respond by obeying Romans 6:11.
Why join a church when I can pray at home? Biblical perspectives of Church Membership
Christianity is not a faith which God intended to be lived out alone. Encouraging others and being encouraged by others are both central to the life of an obedient believer. God designed the church as a distribution system for us to live the transformed life in community together. The maturity and growth of every believer is allocated in the church where we are planted - let us explore some of the reasons for church membership.
Chronic Fear-can humans avoid feeling fearful?
When God made Adam, he had no sense of fear because he had no past experience of defeat, vulnerability, failure or helplessness. The reason was simply because he was only filled with God. In God there is no fear. When man through his disobedience to the instruction of God fell, the nature of the falling man is full of fear. After the fall of man, man’s first statement to God was “I heard your voice and I hid myself “
IS SUBMISSION IN MARRIAGE ONE GENDER SPECIFIC?
Submission is not to the man because he is wealthier, has more power or is in a higher position, has more knowledge than the woman or because he is the head of the home, but the submission is to one another as both (husband and wife) submit to God. When we see it as submission to God, it will be easier to accept or yield to one another in everything and ultimately to God and build up a Godly home.

Is there anything greater than the love of God?
Without God's love, we would be lost and lacking in the abundant blessings He provides for us. His unwavering love enriches our lives beyond measure, surpassing our expectations. The profound expression of God's love is exemplified in John 3:16, where He sacrificed His only son for our salvation, offering eternal life to those who believe in Him. Embracing Christ and living according to His teachings allows us to experience the promise of everlasting life and the hope of reaching heaven.
Why the sudden emphasis on growth?
In recent times, much of the emphasis of our teachings within Chapel of Light has been centred around spiritual growth and development. One might wonder why this is, but scripture says that ..” Gal 4:1-2 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.”. God is very interested in our growth and development in this season and I pen this note to us all to elaborate on why we need to prioritise growth in this season.
Demystifying Depression
Mental health issues such as depression is nothing to be ashamed of neither is talking about it. Depression is a result of the interaction between the three components of the soul: the mind, emotions and will. It begins with negative thoughts entering the mind, which then leads to a focus on self-criticism and perceived flaws. The will then consciously chooses to dwell on these negative thoughts, and this ultimately triggers deep sadness or grief in the emotions. This interplay between the mind, will, and emotions is described as the process through which depression manifests in an individual.
