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…

It took me almost five months to realize that a CCTV camera was just right above where my seat was, in my new office. The day I realized this, I had a flashback on all my activities from previous months. Have I been of good conduct while at work? Have…

I heard the story of a woman who died on the altar while praying. Few months to her death, she had been diagnosed of a terminal disease at its end stage. Knowing she had few days left, she decided to spend her last moments with God. Everyday, she would head to a local church and pray for hours. One day, she didn’t return home.

I will however like to charge everyone to spend their first card with the lord, cos we might never get the chance to spend the last one.

The posture of victory — There is something so special about the “bended knees”, That it was mentioned multiple times in the scriptures. As humbling a posture, yet so elevating. At Calvary's feet, salvation came to all. On bended knees, the three Magi worshipped baby Jesus. Great Kings, with all their splendour will rather bow. (2 Chron 6:13) On bended knees; Our battles are won, Enemies surrender,

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1–2, KJV) While “looking down” is often associated with shame and rejection, “looking up” can portray courage and hope. When we fall into temptations or let others down, it is easy to find ourselves in a state of constant guilt that never goes away, even when we genuinely repent. Constantly staying in this state could lead to more damaging outcomes, i.e., low self-esteem, inability to connect in prayers and sometimes depression.
