Even if Emma had his shortcomings which he had to live with, no one wished my brother any evil but good. We wished he’d recover and gain back his sanity. My mother and aunties felt guilty for having tricked him into rehab where he met his sudden demise. They’ve not forgiven themselves yet, and the … Continue reading John 3:16

Great Exploits 2 | Sons of Sceva
Today's reading comes from the book of Acts, Chapter 19, verses 11-16; Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Then some of the itinerant Jewish … Continue reading Great Exploits 2 | Sons of Sceva
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
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
Naked & Unashamed
Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. The first time the word 'naked' is mentioned, it is associated with being unashamed. The associates were our fore father & mother. Once Adam & Eve ate of the fruit, shame was added to being naked; and so they … Continue reading Naked & Unashamed

God’s Thoughts Concerning You
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (NKJV) Are you sick?

When God joys Over You
When God joys over you, you cease to weep and cry. Tears become alien to you. (Isaiah 65:19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, Nor the voice of crying.) When God joys over you, long life is inevitable (Isaiah 65:20 … Continue reading When God joys Over You
Apple of His Eye
Have you ever held a sharp object toward your eye? Have you seen a long pin come close to your eye? Just the thought of it is making the speed at which your adrenaline is vamoosing up and all over your body become hostile! Everything wants to protect this precious opening on your body. And … Continue reading Apple of His Eye
Prayer Catalysts
A catalyst is anything that encourages progress (movement or advancement). When I go to the bathroom, and it's so cold, sometimes it takes minutes and large sums of bravery to dip my body in that ice cold water. Boys can relate. Many used to air bathe, and that was the end. However, I have discovered … Continue reading Prayer Catalysts
His Mercies—New every Morning
One of the things that has attacked many people's relationships with God is guilt/shame or an inch of condemnation for having not done the right thing. For example, say you're meant to fast 14 days as an instruction, but on several days, things went south, and you either forgot, or broke the fast pretty much … Continue reading His Mercies—New every Morning
Jesus, Joseph & You in Prison
This morning my eyes nearly bulged out their sockets as God brought my attention to something! Here's an excerpt from Genesis 40, to give you context; 'It came to pass after these things [that] the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was angry … Continue reading Jesus, Joseph & You in Prison
Coat of Many Colors
Many of us admire Joseph's coat of many colors. It was given to him in the name of love but between the rainbows woven in this linen tunic, a message lies buried. I imagine his coat was prophetic, ready to speak of his life, and the path it'd take. That coat belongs to every child … Continue reading Coat of Many Colors
Ministry of Helps
In 2019, a sister-friend called Rita (Nunu) telephoned me. "Where are you? Come with your pens quick. We are in need of your writing skills!" I quickly moved. Half an hour later, I was where she was. Her boss was getting married. Whilst the bride was getting frustrated over who'd write the names of invitees … Continue reading Ministry of Helps
Agape
I shot bolt upright on my bed after a pleasant dream. It was 3:01 am when I checked the time. In the dream, I was carrying a baby I knew. The baby's mother had just handed him over to me, when as my right hand touched his smooth buttocks, something warm bulged and filled the … Continue reading Agape
