My mum returned home one evening to a missing foundation bottle, she probably wouldn’t have realised it was missing if the culprit didn’t also play with it and rub it all over their bed, drawers and even the floor. It truly was a mess. We were assembled to the living room after we all received … Continue reading My own broken alabaster box

The desire, the willingness and the ability, all present
New converts are so precious to my heart, I feel a compassion towards them almost to same degree I feel towards those yet saved, and that’s because the foundational knowledge of God in the heart of every believer is so important. After the joy of their salvation, I want to be just as joyful at … Continue reading The desire, the willingness and the ability, all present
“Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow”
I woke up to the worst news this morning. One that makes you lie in bed longer than is necessary, considering all the “whys” and “what ifs”. It was a sharp and hard blow. Nothing anyone should have to deal with at any point, not to talk of within the festive season. A dear friend … Continue reading “Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow”
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
Does the answer ever come?
Earlier today I opened my Facebook app and the first post that hit me was a picture of a woman I admired all through my adolescence and teenage-hood. I never got as close enough as I would’ve liked to share my admiration, but from afar I actually loved her and all she represented in her … Continue reading Does the answer ever come?
The one area failure is guaranteed
We cannot create a better god of our imagination compared to the one true living God. Even our imagination is lacking in its ability to think up a magnificence and wisdom that exceeds the one true God. The most we’ll convince ourselves of as being best, in the god of our imagination is that he … Continue reading The one area failure is guaranteed
Unchosen & Unpicked
In Acts 1, we read of the method the disciples deploy to choose another disciple to replace Judas who had died at that point. The bible tells us they had two main options; Joseph and Mathias, and after they had prayed, the bible said they cast lots among themselves and the lot fell to Mathias, … Continue reading Unchosen & Unpicked
Blame the 99
I recently came across a video on Instagram posted by a lady. The caption in the video was “Here’re the church members that supported me through my divorce”. The video showed only her smiling the whole time, which was to mean that there was no support from her church members through her divorce. The caption … Continue reading Blame the 99
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
For His Namesake
“God please, good news today, it has been such a horrible month already” Ife muttered under her breath removing her apron and hanging it on the edge of the back door to go open the front door for her husband who had just returned from a meeting that had the power to change their lives. … Continue reading For His Namesake
