I sat meditating on Leah’s life the other day, went back to read her story and I had hard questions that I wanted God to answer. I told God that it didn’t make sense that she ended up with a man who made no attempt to hide the fact that he loved his second wife, … Continue reading Dear Leah,
The making flames
I love when God uses the most mundane things to anchor us in truth that we might have heard before. The conviction from being taught by God can’t be taken by anyone. I got into the bathroom on Saturday morning and I realised I needed to open a new bar of soap so I reached … Continue reading The making flames
Freedom in one direction
One time, my teenage cousin broke a tumbler in the house, they’d previously warned her about being careless with how she lifted them, but that day too, she carelessly removed it from where it was and playfully placed it somewhere that caused it to roll and fall. She immediately started crying cause she knew she’d … Continue reading Freedom in one direction
God with a hero syndrome?
I listen to some messages and read some interpretations of scriptures and I get concerned because I see Abba subtly painted as a God who has a hero complex and needs opportunities to be proven. Roaming to and fro the heavens and earth, seeking opportunities to be a hero in a story, almost like He … Continue reading God with a hero syndrome?
My biggest challenge as a believer
I’ve been excluded from conversations, refused conversations and left midway in conversations because people thought I was too rigid or close minded to understand what they were saying. I think it’s been my biggest hurdle as a believer, finding that balance between upholding the standard that is Christ and putting myself in my brothers shoe … Continue reading My biggest challenge as a believer
Peppersoup wannabe

I'd say we had a sumptuous dinner with loads of compliments too on the meal. … Continue reading Peppersoup wannabe
“Last chance”
I got to play miniature golf for the first time with my friends a few weeks ago now, I’m in love with basketball but golf definitely now comes close after the day at the range. The rules in miniature golf are quite straightforward. You have 8 hits to attempt getting the ball into the hole, … Continue reading “Last chance”
Purposed rejection
After God arrested Paul on his way to Damascus and had opened his eyes through Ananias, we see Paul ending up back in Jerusalem after escaping people who wanted to kill him in Damascus. The bible says that when he attempted joining the disciples there in Jerusalem, they were scared because they still harboured thoughts … Continue reading Purposed rejection
Life giving hunger
I think a big characteristic that remains unchanging while a person is on this earth is a hunger for knowledge. That quest does not ever seem to end, while the kind of knowledge desired and the intensity of it vary for people, it still remains that people everywhere seek more knowledge. One day, after a … Continue reading Life giving hunger
Blood that makes right
I was listening to a message by Gbile Akanni yesterday and of the many things he said, the one that struck me most was a question he asked in passing. He said “what kind of righteousness was God seeking that He found only in one man; Noah”? It was almost like I got disengaged from … Continue reading Blood that makes right
