Few months ago, I announced one competition called “The Ester’s Kind of Modesty Competition” and more than 18 girls signed up for it from different countries. I asked the A4P fans to donate money for the cause so that the winner of this competition will receive cash. Continue reading Let Modesty Reign in our Churches!
Something is burning in my heart right now and I want to share it with you all.
I’m sure you all know by now that ISIS is slaughtering innocent human beings in the name of religion. And they record all their inhuman actions and post it on powerful social media such as Facebook and YouTube.
Do you think we need to write our comments on those pictures and videos? Do you know when we write our comments and share those posts; we help ISIS fulfill its agendas?
Do you know leaving a comment on a social media post introduces the post, the media, to hundreds and thousands of people? That is how social media work. Continue reading Pictures and videos going viral

Don’t you sometimes, secretly, wish if the Book of Ephesians chapter 5 goes up to verse 34 and says something like: “Husbands, when your wives come to you with a problem, don’t try to SOLVE their problem unless they specifically ask for it. Just LISTEN to their heart.” (I know the Bible is complete; I’m just saying)
You see, most men are naturally wired to solve a problem. When their wives come to them with a problem, they jump to solve it disregarding their wives’ heart; what their wives are really saying.
Let me give you one example: Continue reading Husbands, don’t solve your wife’s problem
That is the 8th song from Jonathan Thulin’s new album called “Science Fiction.” The song just made my day!
Think about it! God’s love for us is actually out of this world. The life we have in Christ, because God so loved us, is out of this world.
That is what science fiction movies are all about: They tell a fiction story of a life that is outside this world!
But the life you and I live in Christ is not fiction at all. It is real! God’s love and our life in His love may look like science fiction but it is real!
Here is the chorus and the last stanza of Jonathan’s song: Continue reading “Your love is like Science Fiction”
Did I ever tell you how much I love my three kids? Oh, my! How can I forget that? I love all my three blessings very much. They indeed are a gift from God (Psalm 127:3). I love and enjoy them very much.
You see, I spend most of my time working on serious stuff and sometimes laughing can be a very rare thing to find in my world.
The thing is I love to laugh and I love to hear jokes (“clean jokes”, I may add) and my kids, all of them are very funny. Well, the funniest of all is my little one. But there is no way for you to know that unless you live with him. Continue reading One of the Banko’s Silly Jokes
A4P Guest: May the Lord bless you for what you’re doing!
A4P: Amen! Thank you for your kind remarks!
A4P Guest: Can I ask you a question?
A4P: Sure, you can.
A4P Guest: Why do women act like crazy?
A4P: What do you mean?
A4P Guest: I mean, why do women’s moods change frequently like crazy?
A4P: You know, for you guys, it may seem we women are crazy but we don’t usually see our craziness as you men do. Continue reading How can I share my secret with others?
New York was very cold but the warm hospitality of the Emmanuel Worship Center folks made me feel like I was in the middle of a summer season.
I had a wonderful weekend except Saturday evening when I had a severe migraine headache. I only missed one program. Since God never lets my enemy rejoice over me, He gave me double strength, anointing and health for me to stand the next morning and proclaim His Truth. May He alone be praised! Oh, how I love to be with Jesus! Continue reading From New York back to Maryland
Lying down on her back, she looked through the window which was next to the bed. She kept on thinking if her decision to have sex before marriage was right. She wanted to give lots of good reasons to quieten her soul but none of those reasons were good enough.
She quietly said, “I wish I was living with my family.” She didn’t know how that could have saved her from her decision.
It’s been almost three years since she moved out of her parents’ house. She now lives four hours’ away from home. She tries to keep in touch with her family over the phone. Last time when she talked to her mom, she told her about the man she was seeing. After her mom heard her talk about him for almost half an hour, she said, “Precious, I hope you won’t forget what you promised.” Continue reading Oh, Tell Her Until She Hears You
God said to Adam and Eve, “you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Genesis 2:17)
God pretty much said to them, if you disobey Me, you will certainly die. After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, did they die?
Well, after they ate the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve built a house and had kids, Abel and Cain. Continue reading Death or Life?
