Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV) While reading Daniel, I noticed something extraordinary. When Belshazzar saw a hand writing on the wall, he was distraught. No one could … Continue reading Plans To Prosper You

This is the Day the Lord has Made 2
As I continued to meditate on Psalm 118:24, another thing stood out for me. The reason we are given to rejoice was God-dependent and not human-dependent or circumstance-dependent. This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it! It is not the day your husband's made! It's not the … Continue reading This is the Day the Lord has Made 2
Measuring Rod 2
In part one, we talked about how we need to measure God (His works of old) and see His splendour, which in return will encourage us and strengthen our faith for what we are believing next. Today I'd like us to know another way we need to apply the measuring rod. In my current African … Continue reading Measuring Rod 2
Stick to Your Lane
Trains have a tendency of switching tracks where by two trains can possibly collide if one doesn't switch. The mechanism enables two different trains to use one and the same track in some instances. In athletics, this is not possible. Every man or woman is in their own lane with a common finish line. Unlike … Continue reading Stick to Your Lane
The Plight of Extremely Joyous People
In the box office hit animation Inside Out, a young girl called Riley portrays the conversations that happen in her head by her emotions, which control or influence her reactions. The emotions are joy, anger, disgust, sadness and fear. In the first part, we see Joy (that glowy character in picture) as the main emotion, … Continue reading The Plight of Extremely Joyous People
The Age Perspective | Give Thanks … Unashamedly
We act like telling our age is giving a password to a very important safe or lock that bears a nuclear-atomic bomb that could end the world. It’s really not that deep — or salient! Even if you swore an oath never to mention it, the world will revolve on so perfectly.
Call the Things that are not | Do not Consider …
Last night before bed, I asked the Holy Spirit to guide me on the meditation I would require for today. This morning the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Call the things that are not.’ This is a characteristic mentioned of God our father, and in essence, if we come from Him, then … Continue reading Call the Things that are not | Do not Consider …
Rudders & Steers
James 3:3-4 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. A few weeks ago, this verse came to … Continue reading Rudders & Steers
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
Audience of One
When I was younger, I wrote five books of which one was published 3 years ago. Now in all these years, no one read any of them, even if the excitement to narrate the stories within would drag me whenever someone asked me about them. Since I was writing them by hand, they would not … Continue reading Audience of One
Your Waters shall be Sure!
Isaiah 33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions (fortress) of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. There was a time, when God was speaking to me about my dreams. Figuratively, they are expressed as pregnancies in many scenarios and parables. In that season, … Continue reading Your Waters shall be Sure!
VALUED!
Today as I returned from a journey, I pulled out this note to pay the taxi conductor, along with another bigger note. I felt bad holding it. As you see, it is wizened though not super damaged completely. It had been crumpled mercilessly, that if one was more careless, it'd rip between the cracks. Regardless, … Continue reading VALUED!
On Your Birthday…
Today is my birthday, and what God taught me was the validity of our individual power of creation over our lives. There's been a joke about Job and February. He cursed the day of his birth as witnessed in the book about him, the third chapter. Many also forget that Jeremiah sprawled in the same … Continue reading On Your Birthday…
Predestination
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
The Israelite Mistake
"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
