Sometimes I don't think we fully understand the meaning of some confessions we make as Christians, we probably mean it with everything in us, but have we really sat to understand the gravity conveyed in the message? As much as we'll like to answer a loud yes, I beg to differ and say no. Psalm … Continue reading Blurred views

Heal from the past
In the last week, I've been led to pray for rape victims and the perpetrators. I watched a very heart warming movie and I think God let me watch it just to stir me to stand in the gap for rape victims. In praying for them, I've seen three prayer points constantly emerge in my … Continue reading Heal from the past
The difficult-easy walk
I use to be one of those Christians who was scared to admit the benefits that come with surrendering completely to Christ and walking with Him. I saw how full the world was of pain, hate, evil, bitterness and revenge and it almost seemed like anything against this norm was frowned upon. Some Christians wanted … Continue reading The difficult-easy walk
Moments of Truth – Man thief!
I'm not sure how I never got to sharing this story because I said I had to bring my readers this comic relief. Alas! I'm here now and I won't hold back. About a year ago I received a call from an unknown number, I was in the train station on my way to a … Continue reading Moments of Truth – Man thief!
Moments of truth; Sex slave
I was young and very naive, all I had was an Ethiopian best friend who I absolutely adored, asides from the fact that her hair was long and she was really pretty, she actually always really got me, as young as we were. Sadly, we don't talk anymore, in the last year, I actually tried … Continue reading Moments of truth; Sex slave
The little, big foxes
Two weeks ago, the Coordinator in my fellowship informed me that he would like me to preach the following Sunday. I always believe that an instruction from him to preach is divinely orchestrated from God and so though I bantered at first, I obliged and got home, praying that God gives me a focus for … Continue reading The little, big foxes
“I’m a Christian, why should this happen?”
I bet we've all been in that place where we started to question our stand in God and our belief in Him because we're experiencing things that 'Christians shouldn't be experiencing'. First off, is there really such a thing in life as 'not for Christians?' I know that coming to the realisation of our identity … Continue reading “I’m a Christian, why should this happen?”
“This is not it”
Anyone who spoke to me physically in the last 2 weeks might describe my current state of mind as lethargic, and I would not even blame them because there are some things that you might not be able to fully express or describe and as such, the listeners around would accept and interpret it as … Continue reading “This is not it”
What I think I need
The bible speaks of a danger in praying amiss. It says "you do not receive because you ask wrongly". So with time, we learn that praying without understanding is almost just as bad as not praying because when we pray without an understanding of what we're asking for, there is the possibility that we are … Continue reading What I think I need
Eat and stop crying!
Do we ever go to God with one thing and find that we're being focused on something else, sometimes in relation to the original request, but most times, in something completely unrelated. I remember a time in my life when I was praying for my Dad's salvation, It was a daily prayer request and it … Continue reading Eat and stop crying!
