In the Parable of the talents in Matthew 25, three men are entrusted with talents. This didn’t literal talents. That was a currency back then, but it can as well substitute for what it actually is. Let’s read the parable first; For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, … Continue reading Unburying the Talent

The God That Warns
Knowing that God is all-knowing, places you in a demanding position. Last year when my brother passed, I, of course out of frustration, asked God why He didn’t warn me — why He didn’t warn us! Lo and behold, I got to know that my aunt had a dream the Monday he was being taken … Continue reading The God That Warns
Let …
“We are Matthew five fourteens. But we can only be if we kept the instruction of verse 16; which says ‘let’ — not fight! ‘Let’ — not reignite what has already been kindled — the light is already there, you just have to bring forth.” I came across a video of my little sister in … Continue reading Let …
Consecrations of Honoraria
For those who do not know the word ‘honorarium’, it is a compensation or appreciation for services that do not have a predetermined value. Since our setting is christian, honoraria is given to mostly preachers after they have ministered; or gospel musicians on doing the same. This is usually in form of money. But gifts … Continue reading Consecrations of Honoraria

Catch the Little Foxes
Song of Solomon 2:15 Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.

Redefining ‘Great Works’
John 14:12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. When I was younger, I used to think great works were only raising the dead, healing the sick, making … Continue reading Redefining ‘Great Works’
Do not Awaken Love | Virgin Realms
The phrase 'do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases' appears thrice in the legendary classic Song of Solomon. Biblical scholars understand the meaning of 'thrice.' Recently, my mind had wandered off to realms I never meant to go: how does having sex actually look? for example. I am super grateful that though … Continue reading Do not Awaken Love | Virgin Realms
He Won’t Lie to You
Psalms 89:35 Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David: Insert your name too 🤗 He won't lie to you. HE SWOREEEE! He didn't lie to David. He isn't about to break His character towards you either. Now recall all He's promised you, with that confidence! Did He say you'd … Continue reading He Won’t Lie to You
Cleanliness Provokes Godliness
Last Friday, I attended a requiem service for a deceased uncle at Rubaga Cathedral, one of the oldest and majestic buildings in Uganda. The gothic architecture existed peaceably and mingled superbly with a very clean compound and well trimmed meadows. The place was so neat that I felt it a sin to step on the … Continue reading Cleanliness Provokes Godliness

What Do You Have?
'Silver and gold I don't have. But what I do have I give to thee. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up and walk.' These were the words of Peter the Apostle, shortly before he made a crippled man walk. In a fellowship yesterday, someone pointed out that you can't give what you … Continue reading What Do You Have?
Love & Lust
'I love him' ... 'I love her' ... We sometimes we think we love people. But a little more observation ... a little more observation — how ironic — exposes our heart's state. I used to claim I loved certain people, but I'd ask, 'why don't I love my biological brother the same?' Something was … Continue reading Love & Lust
The Useless Things
The Bible says, He numbers the stars. He knows each by name. (Psalm 147:4)But these stars shall all pass away. Heaven and earth shall — His word says. And that, in my view lessens the value of the stars.Yes they are beautiful, and don't get me wrong, but to me it seems vanity! Vanity of … Continue reading The Useless Things
I Won’t Let You Go Till You Bless Me …
These were the words of Jacob as He wrestled with God. But after God has blessed you — then what? Shall you let Him go? Nay, I say! You must not. Many sadly have let God go! After He has blessed them with that job, with that car, or that child!This lessens the value of … Continue reading I Won’t Let You Go Till You Bless Me …
