On 4th December, I watched a sermon. It entailed complicated and contradicting words. It both said one must avoid manipulation by a man of God and yet towards the end, the preacher emphasized submission to spiritual authority or a man of God. In the same season, I was waiting on God to have my dreams … Continue reading Overwhelmed…?

Sinners’ Snare
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
