Like all children, we meet the “lover daddy”, before we meet the “disciplinarian daddy”. Even in the faith, when we come anew, we’re smothered in love, and love that the flesh understands as love. But as we grow past milk and start to chew on meat, we’re still smothered in love, but the love the … Continue reading Pain-induced grace
The seed in dead air
There is something called “dead air” in broadcasting and theatre. It usually has a negative connotation because it means the audience has been left without entertainment for a sustained period. So generally, theatres and broadcast outlets often plan things to avoid dead air. They do well to keep the audience occupied throughout the duration of … Continue reading The seed in dead air
Costing us all
I was studying Matthew 8 this morning and came across Jesus deliverance of the demon-possessed men He met in the region of the Garderenes. The bible records that the demons in the men recognised Jesus straight away and they started screaming, (but later calmed down when they realised who they were talking to, lol) . … Continue reading Costing us all
Heart in training
I have become convinced that the human heart is in training everyday. Metaphorically, we can think our hearts as soldiers, encountering training every day by the kinds of things we expose it to. The deposit of Gods Spirit is us is a catalyst for our hearts training in righteousness, but it is not a guarantee … Continue reading Heart in training
My memoir of year two
This was suppose to go live two weeks ago but my first attempt at writing it, I got soaked in my own tears, the second attempt, I was convinced it read too much like a fairy tale, the third attempt was me trying hard to avoid a fairy tale story. And so, with the many … Continue reading My memoir of year two
When words aren’t enough
Early in my life, I realised how God had set my heart on fire to see young girls and women live and lead value & purpose driven lives in Him. I think God used my own life to show me how left it could go and how quickly too, if we weren’t anchored in Him. … Continue reading When words aren’t enough
Purpose in exile
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?
