The Bible is so full of symbolism, and I am one of those firm believers that take serious the fact that God is intentional with every syllable or imagery. I believe nothing is by accident, and like God said His glory is in concealing things, I'm here to help us retrieve the glory that can … Continue reading Wings & Eyes
Years ago, I was made heir to my father. I didn't ask for it. I only remember my aunty coming to me and asking me to give a speech at his funeral. I had two elder brothers! Why wouldn't they speak! I wondered. Regardless, this is a responsibility I didn't ask for, and could not … Continue reading Predestination
Wisdom teaches that even if the present seems challenging, it's not right to say the past was better. For the righteous, today is brighter than all the days before, so it's not right to say, "O those good old days..." This is the thing that made Lot's wife turn to look back when God had … Continue reading Past Graces
Two Saturdays ago, while on my way for a dance party, I was thirsty, and I talked to God about having exceeded my budget. At the venue, I met a James. He sat next to a close friend of mine, but before I’d catch my breath, James had already bought each one of us a … Continue reading How to make more friends!
Isaiah 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: I remember Jesus dying, and darkness covering the sky at noon. Many say He was bearing your sin (and that of the world), thus … Continue reading Darkness as Noonday
How would God react, if He had been told that He had cancer? How would He react if He was told He was broke? I'm sure you are already laughing at the impossibility of this! God taught me to react the same when unrealistic lies are imposed on me by that very same enemy. Lies … Continue reading He who sits in Heaven Laughs
Once upon a time, I got a terrible headache. I tried the faith way until I could no longer take it. I opted for panadol extra: a pain killer. I took the entire dosage and after a day, the pain returned. I was very frustrated. I returned to the faith path: laying hands on my … Continue reading Suffering in Faith
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. Haggai 1:2 "Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: 'This people says, "The time has not come, … Continue reading Sons of Issachar
Today's reading comes from the book of Acts, Chapter 19, verses 11-16; Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Then some of the itinerant Jewish … Continue reading Great Exploits 2 | Sons of Sceva
"Give us our own King." The Israelites asked God to through the last judge Samuel. The Israelites had no earthly king to rule over them even if they had leaders before. These leaders were judges and they always were handpicked by God to be used to ensure peace among the Israelites. God did the choosing … Continue reading The Israelite Mistake
As I celebrated Mom's birthday this year (April 7), I wanted to build about one of her principles. It's not something she has necessarily theorized, but it's one of the virtues she's exuded that I have observed for a long time. When she got widowed in 2009, most of my pain was seeing her alone … Continue reading Blowing Things Out of Proportion
The sweat was dripping off his face. Except it wasn't salty water, but actual blood. Can you fathom, the level of stress and frustration that could cause one's pores to thrust blood instead of sweat! I think Jesus, the very son of God, deserves the award for best portrayal of anxiety; for however afraid any … Continue reading Gethsemane
Still, in the same spirit of Resurrection weekend, I have yet another revelation. I was reading a book in my room this evening, and both the open window and indoor bulb lit the cream pages from different angles. Now, I despised the dim light from the bulb, to the point that I was tempted to … Continue reading Two Lights | You Matter!
I always marvel at Sarah's miracle. She was like an old factory whose machinery had expired. She was like a mine whose furnaces had long forgotten the taste of inferno. First of all, as statistics would have it, it's said that women's ovaries stop manufacturing ovum at a particular point in time. And the older … Continue reading Extraordinary Resurrections
A friend shared a flyer saying 'Happy Easter family', but it had colored eggs in all forms of gold and blue hues. I thanked him, but I don't remember eggs playing any role in the reconciliation of God and man. I don't remember them being crucified! His was not the only flyer with eggs by … Continue reading Subtle Devil Cultures
