A painful lesson I learnt — At the start of the COVID, I was involved with a support group aimed to feed some less privileged people in the nearby community. As one of the leaders in this group, we aligned to give from our pockets towards this project. I heard clearly in my spirit a particular…

God’s voice is not always still and small. — The bible on many occasion gives account of how God speaks to his people. Some of the interesting ones were: The still small voice to prophet Elijah (1st King 19:12). The burning Bush with Moses (Exodus 3:1–4). God spoke to Gideon using a fleece (Judg. 6:37–40). He spoke to Saul…

I recently had to take a train while I was out of my home country. My understanding of the transport service of the country I was in, is that it is highly reliable. Unusually on this day, the train had to make an unplanned stop at one of its station…

Its not too short a time to wait. — I was in my room one day praying. As usual, I like to lock my door to prevent my kids from barging in. I had hardly started when I heard a gentle knock on my door. Just by the knock I could tell it was my little girl. Her knock…

Mary is my childhood friend. When I finally met Mary’s husband, I was surprised to see he was so far from her spec. He is 5.3ft tall. While in school, she only dated very tall and good looking dudes. In fact, she vowed never to marry a short guy. But I guess, the tall ones were not meant for her. “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”(1 Samuel 16:7, NIV)

As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.” The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.” (1 Samuel 17:56, NIV) This scripture struck a chord… People indeed watch and research about us, based on what we do either good or bad. The implication of this as a Christian is that, when we do outstanding things for example, non-believers are drawn to us and the power behind us. This curiosity, could lead them to seek God for themselves. They could say;

There are some phone calls I am reluctant to pick. These calls are from contacts who only call when they need my help. I had a reflection recently about myself. Do I also fall into his category? When we touch base with God only when we are in trouble or need his help, we too can come across as a user. “The time is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. That time is now here. And these are the kinds of worshipers the Father wants. God is spirit. Those who worship God must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23–24 ICB

A colleague’s “Tees” was a subject of controversy in the office. On it was an inscription. “Life is too short Enjoy it, Eternity is long Prepare for it” Someone questioned why he would wear a “faith based” shirt to the office with people of many beliefs and religion. …

You too can try it. — One of the most valuable trainings I had attended in the past was on Root Cause analysis using the “5 Whys” methodology. The purpose of this methodology is to get to the bottom of an issue by asking the “Why” question five times. By the fifth “Why” a revelation on…
