Daughter of Encouragement

Years ago, I read a book which had a phrase  somewhere between its pages  which stated that “opportunity once lost can never be regained”. However, not many people know what opportunities are or how to recognise them when they present themselves.
I have been mentoring a particular friend in the area of her career for a few months now. Over this [...]

Has it ever occurred to you that your children need encouragement? Children sometimes feel frustrated and downcast and as parents, we need to encourage them. They not only need encouragement when they are discouraged but when they need to move to the next stage of their life.
One main point I want to emphasise is that children respond to encouragement quite [...]

What is your natural reaction when you go through a negative experience?
The natural response could be anger, bitterness and an expression like “Why me?” as I wrote in my previous blog.
Over the last couple of months, Daughter of Encouragement went through some challenging experiences. It was first an attack on our website. I could not [...]

Have you ever wondered why you are always going through one struggle or the other? You are not alone! Reading through the bible, I discoverd that there were many men and women of God who must have asked the question “why me?” I could imagine people like Joseph, David, Job, Hannah, and Paul ask themselves this same question [...]

How do you explain a situation where you are rejoicing even though you have not received the things requested for in prayer? You may think it is an easy thing to do, but I can testify  to the fact that it takes an unshakable faith in Jesus to keep rejoicing in the midst of uncertainty. [...]

Why are you struggling over that problem? What makes you think you can work it out all by yourself? Do you know there is a place where you can lay all down and watch all the struggles disappear?
It is so sad to see many believers still struggling. Even though we know the saviour and His [...]

Do you know you have some leadership that could be passed on to your children or those around you? Everybody does have a measure of leadership qualities that can be developed and passed on. In Genesis 1: 28, God commanded us to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it, and exercise dominion over His [...]

It never ceases to amaze me why some people like making trouble. They always want to make a point over petty issues and interestingly, when they are offended thier slogan is “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”. Their victims never go scot-free. What would anyone gain by getting even with others? Even if you are [...]

Hi everyone! I have been away from you all for quite a while now and I am deeply sorry for this. I have recently taken on a new responsibility and I am still trying to find my feed. However, I am determined not to stay away for so long again in Jesus’ name.
Are you one [...]

Have you ever wondered why some children kick against going to church with their parents? Well this amazes me too. However,I have come to understand that many times, as parents we do not take time to explain the Christian faith to our children. We just take it for granted that they will pick things along as they grow up [...]
