Proverbs 1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. I watched a 2022 movie consisting of two Jamaican brothers with an absent father growing up in a society bearing gangs and gun violence. The movie was based on a fictional novel. I found not much wisdom, but fights, sex before marriage, homosexuality, disrespect … Continue reading Sinners’ Snare

Your Rising!
Isaiah 60:3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. From our theme scripture above, there is a brightness; and also, a rising. The kings won't come to your self-pity; to your falling, to your down-sitting, to your laziness, to your sleeping or your procrastination! They are to … Continue reading Your Rising!
Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone
Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" Today, like sometime on a January early morning, a verse came to my spirit: loud and resonate. God didn’t say ‘man shall not live by bread.’ The … Continue reading Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone
Remember Hannah
Last Friday, I was frustrated, once again, that the dream of music publishing seems not to crack out the egg. In deep agony I asked God what I'd be missing. This is what resonated in my spirit; "Remember Hannah." So what about Hannah?! You'd be wondering. Well, remember she — like Rachel — received no … Continue reading Remember Hannah
Can We Be Friends?
I met an acquaintance on Saturday 16th December in a public place; and the enthusiasm of meeting a new friend overtook me for the next couple days. I texted him via WhatsApp, and I couldn't just wait for him to respond. On 20th, when he hadn't, I turned to God and told Him, "Will he … Continue reading Can We Be Friends?
…Care So Affectionate
1 Peter 5:7 Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. I lost sleep on the early morning of January 7th. And as I twisted and turned, the above verse came … Continue reading …Care So Affectionate
Finest of Wheat!
Psalms 147:14 He maketh peace [in] thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. Our God is not a mediocre God. I once preached from Isaiah 60, whither God mentioned that instead of stones He'll give you iron. And instead of iron, He'll give you silver. Instead of wood, He'll give you … Continue reading Finest of Wheat!
Much More Blessed to Give …
Genesis 12:3 says "I'll bless those who bless you..." When I read this, I remembered what Acts said: "It's much more blessed to give than to receive..." If we do a little bit of substitution, the former would sound like "I'll give those who give you!" And if you're the giver to Abraham (representative of … Continue reading Much More Blessed to Give …
Vengeance is the Lord’s
I know I am not the only victim of delayed payment! A man once needed a house plan in a few days. He paid me two fifths of the cash and the rest was promised in about a week. The week passed; and another, and another. I sent reminders. I texted but all I got … Continue reading Vengeance is the Lord’s
Turn the Other Cheek
Jesus advised we do this as our quest for ‘revenge:’ turning our other cheek as though to take the second slap when we have received the first – perhaps of the thing we didn’t deserve. This could be unexpected, and foolish: Your enemy could call you foolish in case you said ‘slap me again’, as … Continue reading Turn the Other Cheek
Facing Your Fears
When I was a child – 6 or 7 years old – I remember watching Terminator. Nannies never observed ‘parental guidance.’ So as they watched via VHS, all the kids watched along. The graphics haunted me: especially that part when Schwarzenegger cut his skin to expose a bionic skeleton. It got worse when fire burnt … Continue reading Facing Your Fears
Sharing Beds
I’ve always feared to share beds. This is because I fear I’ll kick someone, or someone will open their eyes to see saliva ooze vertically downward, from the corner of my mouth. I fear I’ll snore for them. I fear I’ll be accused of bruxism. So, I’ll rather sleep on the woolen rug on the … Continue reading Sharing Beds
When God Meets You
As the year began yesterday, I rejoiced in the word that God crowns your year with His goodness, and His paths drip with abundance, typical of Psalm 65:11. This goodness — one must note — that it is not their own but God's: HIS. Your goodness is not as His. Yours falls short. Just like … Continue reading When God Meets You
The Widow & Death’s Wisdom
As the year begins; on this twenty sixth January I've seen, I think of the widow. Quite an unlikely title for a New Year theme; but it'll tickle you nevertheless. On Christmas day, I was quite distraught when some teenagers refused to stand up to praise God with their hands and feet. I was thinking … Continue reading The Widow & Death’s Wisdom
You Are Great!
Whilst going to sleep last night, I asked the birthday boy to give me a new revelation concerning His birth. He said, "But you already have one..." It seems intentional to me that Mary and Joseph arrived late, or that the inns weren't enough, or that Bethlehem's greatness had fallen so far that no one … Continue reading You Are Great!
