Earlier this week, my partner and I would’ve been 5 years courting, if not that we got married a month ago! No, we didn’t plan to date or court that long, circumstances around us from the time we met to the time we got married necessitated that we waited that long to get married. Circumstances … Continue reading The Long Courtships …

Glory from a stranger
One of my greatest joys of being a believer is the realisation that I am a part of what God is doing. It fills my heart with so much purpose and zeal. I’ve been reading The Normal Christian life by Watchman Nee and I find in one of the early chapters that he tries to … Continue reading Glory from a stranger
Maybe remove the armour
I had a disturbing dream last night, it was one of those ones where you wake up perspiring. I woke to an unsettled heart and while I knew I could just pray and go back to sleep, I didn’t, I documented it and stayed up meditating on it, it was particularly more disturbing cause I’ve … Continue reading Maybe remove the armour
Our Growth Strategy
Gods system is designed to grow the believer no matter the point we are in the faith, God seeks growth, one that is often evidenced in our relations to our neighbour, and not necessarily as individual entities, because the fruits of the Spirit are often tested in the midst of people and not always in … Continue reading Our Growth Strategy
All by myself …
I was reading about the king of Tyre this morning in Ezekiel 28, God gave Ezekiel prophecy against him and the reasons highlighted really make me tremble, not because of their seeming harshness, but because it’s easy to fall prey to the exact same reasons he receives that prophecy. Verses 4 and 5 highlights the … Continue reading All by myself …

(Ecclesiastes 3:11) I find it interesting that God acknowledges the reality of time on this side of life but also lets us know that we have eternity (which … Continue reading Malfunctioning Heart
Which evil is averted?
I remember reading in a concluding part of a book once that “even when we cannot see Gods hand, we must trust His heart”. At first, I thought it was ironic cause I would think that if we trusted His heart, we will seek His hand, but just a few days ago, it made even … Continue reading Which evil is averted?
Only recognised sentiment
The bible describes a king of Judah; king Amaziah as one who “did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a loyal heart.” II Chronicles 25:2 I found that description very interesting. He did right but not with a right heart. Meaning his actions were in contrast to his heart … Continue reading Only recognised sentiment
My advise to God
The bible tells us that the fourth king of Israel; Rehoboam and the next after him; Jeroboam were at war all their days. “…And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.” 2 Chronicles 12:15 I read that and I remembered that God had sent prophet Ahijah to anoint Jeroboam while Rehoboam was … Continue reading My advise to God
Suggestive spirits
In 1 chronicles 19, after the death of Nahash, the king of Ammon, we read of David’s resolution to show kindness to his son, Hanun, on account of his father. David says “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort … Continue reading Suggestive spirits
