The good book teaches two patiences. The first, commonly known and practised, is the ability to put off anxiety while delaying gratification. This patience is inbuilt in every Christian and we are called to cultivate this one. The other patience, more in-depth and life changing, is the ability to hold on to God’s words, without…

The Christian is anointed. Anointed with what, you may ask? Anointed with a part of God Almighty called the Holy Spirit. Under the influence of this Holy Spirit, the Christian can accomplish anything.

The Christian is one who can choose not to die. You read that right. Christians who die, actually choose to surrender their lives. The world is full of people who are so blessed and still so ignorant about who they are. (Read John 11:25)
