Like our physical banks, we also have our spiritual banks, where we deposit God’s words, through our consistent meditation and prayers. With all banks, a withdrawal is eminent some day. The most valuable withdrawals are those in emergency. They can be lifesaving! After a surgery I had once, the doctor mentioned that I moaned all through the session. What I recalled in my sub-consciousness, were all the scriptures that I had meditated and declared daily, prior to the surgery.

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).

I recall he started out, at the University’s car park, preaching the gospel of Christ. The small fellowship he started many years ago…

I started writing by sharing on my social media platform. I would then check back to see if anyone had read and liked my story. Most often, I would only get a few likes from family and friends. Sometimes I wouldn’t get any. So, I concluded that I was not making much sense. Shortly after I stopped posting, one of my readers reached out to check on me. According to her, she had missed reading my stories.

I had plugged my phone into the mains for over thirty minutes before I realized that the switch wasn’t on. This was disappointing, as I needed to make an urgent call. The story of Samson in the bible is an example of how it is possible to have been disconnected from God, despite being successful with everyday life. It took a sudden attack and defeat by the Philistines for Samson to realize he was no longer powered on.

An example of many wasted efforts — It is a countdown to the end of the year, and it might just be a good time to do a review of the achievement of goals set at the beginning of the year. In most organisations, the process will be a review of Actual versus Target. To have a…
