Is Fraol Bekel the winner of the competition with 390 likes? Hmm, maybe not; because there are other competitors coming up!
For today, I have one contestant from Seattle, Washington. His name is Samson Assefa. He is a husband of one beautiful woman, a father of one beautiful young girl and one little boy. Here is his favorite quote from my book: Continue reading Next Contestant, from Seattle, Washington!
– – – teenagers! Why? I live with three teenagers, day in and day out! These “creatures” of God always keep you young with their fresh perspective in life; with their creative way of coming up with a seamlessly silly idea which is a solution for a big problem. I love them very much! If you misunderstand them, of course, they will totally drive you nuts! Their language is obviously different from us, adults, but if you hear them carefully, they are actually communicating something very important, such as what is going on in their hearts. When you want to be close to them, they push you away but at the same time, they need you to be close to them. I know that is paradoxical but that is how these people roll!
Anyways, our next contestant for the competition is a fifteen year old, and I have to add, a handsome and fine young man from Bloomington, Minnesota.
His name is Fraol Bekele. Continue reading My number one Favorite A4P’s Fans are – – –
A beautiful day such as today makes me want to meditate the Word of God even more. Here is the Word I’m meditating on since last Monday: “To fear the Lord is to hate evil” (Proverbs 8:13a)
For me personally, looking at a bright and beautiful sun early in the morning is like, listening to an anointed preacher speaking on a topic called “A Lasting Hope!” Seriously I love bright and sunny mornings! I see them as signs of God’s unfailing mercy and grace! Hallelujah! Please don’t ask me about snowy and rainy seasons. I’m not sure their meaning and I don’t appreciate them both! Continue reading A Gorgeous Thursday, a beautiful Contestant from Washington, DC
A4P Guest: Why do we need another book to read other than the Bible? Are you saying that this book is a replacement to the Bible? Is this book for those who are in sexual addiction? Anyone who has a sexual problem can find healing through the Word of God, the Bible. If they pray hard, we have a God who hears and answers our prayers; He will answer their prayers and heal them. The Name of Jesus breaks all spiritual bondage. We don’t need another book other than the Bible. Why are you asking others to buy your book? Why don’t you encourage them to buy the Bible and read it cover to cover so that the Word of God will break their bondage?” Continue reading A Quick Reply to a Comment Regarding my Book
What a joy for me to see a young father reading my book! Oh, my! I can’t tell you what I felt when I received his picture in my inbox.
That is it! The main mission of my book, “Beyond the Fairy Tale” is to encourage and motivate parents to teach and mentor their kids in the area of sexuality. Blaming our church leaders or the school and government system won’t do us any good. We parents need to step up and claim our parental role back to rescue our kids from the philosophy of this dark world’s “sexual revolution.” Continue reading My Book and a Young Father of Two Little boys!
A4P Guest: I’ve heard most of your YouTube videos and read most of your posts on this page. I heard you say many times that we need to meditate on the Word of God. What does meditating on the Word of God mean?
A4P: I love this question very much! Thank you for asking! Continue reading Meditation – – – as a man thinks
Are you going to church today? I hope you are; I and my family are going because it is always right to go to church.
And on this beautiful sunny Sunday morning, I have a beautiful picture I want to post for the competition.
But, first, I want to thank you all for liking Barkot’s pretty picture yesterday. It is clear now that Minnesota is leading in the competition. Continue reading Well, it is Sunday!
I’m extremely happy now not because it is sunny and bright out there (which I love) but because I’ve received very beautiful pictures from those who read my book and wanted to take part in the competition. (If you want to know about the competition, read my June 16 post) Continue reading What a beautiful Sunny Saturday!
I always get up early in the morning and do my devotion and everything. Then I go to shower and dress up and style my hair. It doesn’t really matter whether I have somewhere to go or not; this is my unchanging morning routine. This is actually something I learned from my mom. I am very grateful for it! And guess who appreciates this the most? My husband!
So, in the morning, by the time I finish getting ready, my husband will go out to go to work. I love to go out with him to his car and bless him and his day and I cover his car with the blood of Jesus. Then I just stand outside until his car disappears from my eyes. What do I do? Well, I pray for him; for God to go before him; for God to destroy his enemies before they come closer to him. I can’t tell you how I enjoy those moments. Continue reading A Simple Complement Goes a Long Way
Some people think that they are porn addicts because they have abnormally high sexual desires. However porn addiction has nothing to do with sexual desire but it has everything to do with a lonely and sick soul; a soul which doesn’t know how to be loved and cared for; a soul which is hurt and damaged in the past while looking for love and deep intimacy.
Porn addicts don’t know anything about the sexual pleasure the Bible is talking about. Why? Because porn gives nothing to anyone since it doesn’t have anything to give. It only takes from its users everything they have and make them naked and wretched; useful for nothing! It takes away their honorable human nature and turns them into animals (Proverbs 7:21-23).
