Gods divine agenda for His people as individuals and as a collective, unravels everyday. If we believe and confess that the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord, we also admit to being His followers, being aware of every inkling and leading from within, so that we can move “in step with the … Continue reading Purpose in exile
Never ‘good’ enough
One of the biggest privileges we have with bible study in our time is studying in light of the finished work of Jesus on the cross. The Old Testament would’ve read very scary, legalistic and daunting to us without the New Testament. But suddenly as we read everything in light of Jesus’ death and resurrection, … Continue reading Never ‘good’ enough
On being Christian and feminist …
The problem with accepting the labels given by the world is that you don’t get to explain the extent of your own subscription to it. This is why believers stand in one identity (Christ) and we can subscribe to ideologies and thoughts, but just not allow them become another identity, the moment it does, you’ll … Continue reading On being Christian and feminist …
Connecting the dots?
Several years ago, when I heard people talk about church history or the bibles history, I’ll think to myself “none of this knowledge impacts or affects my faith in God, I don’t want anything to do with it”. My intention was pure, I was wary of ending up like people who in search of more … Continue reading Connecting the dots?

She said 'the longer I know and love our Jesus, … Continue reading Prescribed Christianity
Checking the hanging scarlet scarf
I don’t think it was coincidental that I read about Rahab in my devotion today! Rahab, ‘the prostitute’ as the hall of faith remembers her (Hebrews 11:31), But I like to stick with the Matthew 1:5 description of her, as ‘the grandmother of Jesus’. That tells more of the grace that met her. I read … Continue reading Checking the hanging scarlet scarf
The End Goal
Wrapping up The Foch Love Series today and I thought it was important that we ended with the beginning that should be at the forefront of our minds as regards love; what is the end goal of romantic love? Love is so warm and pleasurable by design. I often tell my friends that love and … Continue reading The End Goal
The loud and quiet lovers
One of the best parts of love is just how unique it is. The characteristics could be the same, but the expressions are always at the mercy of the parties involved. Every couple gets a clean slate to curate their expressions of love, not necessarily the characteristics or components of love, but its diverse expressions. … Continue reading The loud and quiet lovers
Navigating sexual attraction in courtship
I remember a time I went to Nigeria for holiday, Nelson and I had started courting, and the night before I left Abuja, he had flown in from Lagos to say goodbye because early that morning I left him a text saying “I wish I could see you one last time before I left”. Didn’t … Continue reading Navigating sexual attraction in courtship
