Before you Call…

I had done some work for a company, and my payment from them was long overdue. I delivered on 24th February, on short notice. Funds were promised the following Friday, 3rd March. I had forwarded all necessary documents required the day before. Still it took long. I'd been told the money takes 4-5 days to … Continue reading Before you Call… →

Do not Consider …

When someone promises you something, tell me, what do you do? If say you've been promised a brand new shirt by someone, do you go ahead to set aside money to buy that shirt? Of course not! However, many of us have come upon God's promises, and then we either set aside money to achieve … Continue reading Do not Consider … →

Cold Fire

In the hit movie Prince of Egypt (1998), a different perspective was shown by the creators as Moses approached the burning bush. Here, the fire was blue before it turned red. Since the bush wasn't getting consumed to ashes, Moses touched it. It did not burn him, just like it wasn't burning the bush's leaves. … Continue reading Cold Fire →

A Root Cause of Evil

I'm staring down at the abodes of Jerusalem. I know I'm meant to be at war but I need a break. Found bored now, let me take a stroll on the palace roof. The sky is sunny—the breeze cool, but it seems like it is not the same metres below on a snugly roof... First … Continue reading A Root Cause of Evil →

God in the Evil | All Work for your Good

In 2015, I was to join university towards the end of the year. Growing up, Kyambogo University was always bad mouthed. As result, no one wished to go there after high school. All eyes were on the now 100-year-old Makerere University, one of the best universities in Africa. During applications, for formality, and because our … Continue reading God in the Evil | All Work for your Good →

Men in Women’s Shoes

I wanted to entitle this 'Men, Feminism & Faith'. I rarely struggle with what to baptize these articles as name, but I do hope God was close to nailing the point He wanted to lead home with this selected title as you'll see. I loathed being 'a man'! Why I loathed being a man was … Continue reading Men in Women’s Shoes →

Time for Everything

A neighbor of ours still has their Christmas decorations out in form Christmas lights. Traditionally, in Uganda, by 6th January, the festive decor is down even if the festive mood could still be lingering. Just as I continued observing the flickering lights, God whispered to me saying, "Just like how those lights are overdue, many … Continue reading Time for Everything →

Criteria for Choosing a Spouse

1 Samuel 16:7-10 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For [the LORD does] not [see] as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him … Continue reading Criteria for Choosing a Spouse →

The Art of Inquiring of the Lord

Psalms 27:4 One [thing] I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple. As I read 1 Samuel, I noticed a trend of David's. Before … Continue reading The Art of Inquiring of the Lord →

The 11th Hour

As we come to the end of year, I found what I'm about to write prudent. Memes are flying around of how disappointed most of our 2022 goals are with us. And though it's funny, it hurts deeper than many could ever know. For some of us, it was never about the personal goals we … Continue reading The 11th Hour →

Light & the Nocturnals

I have learnt from experience, some of the characteristics of nocturnal animals. Those who don't know about them, these are mostly active at night, and in Africa we are aware of them. In my room, that's where the sugar is kept. Once the lights go off in the night, all manner of fidgeting is heard … Continue reading Light & the Nocturnals →

Pretty Woman

I watched this 1990 movie some Saturdays ago. Someone once said I was born in the wrong time. "You know much more about the 80's and 90's than the people who were born even before then." She said. I rather count myself just a curious soul — always wondering what went on before I was … Continue reading Pretty Woman →

Paying God Commission

I have been earning money smoothly, daily, and pre-waking up, I was inclined to the attitude and zone of gratitude. As I got ready to do my usual jump from the upper bunker bed, God's word came to me. In His voice He said, "You see, paying tithe is like paying me my commission. On … Continue reading Paying God Commission →

Pioneers

2 Timothy 1:5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. In this portion, we see Paul point out a remarkable pattern of inheritance. Paul points out that the faith in the … Continue reading Pioneers →

Boundaries

Job was blamed for breaking the hedge around him. He broke the boundary of protection that had been placed by God to insulate him. 'For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.' Job 3:25 This statement that he mentions proves that even if it seems … Continue reading Boundaries →
