HINDSIGHT

Image
This season is becoming exhausting, right? When Covid-19 was officially declared a pandemic and nations started going on lock-down, a good number of us figured it would be gone after a month or two at most. The idea of staying home didn't sound so bad- especially for those who barely get a break from work. Learners being sent home also wasn't an issue- after all, it's only for a short while, no? Now it's been months down the line and life isn't back to what it used to be yet. For some, one moment it looks like we're headed back to normalcy then the next we have to go back into hiding. The numbers keep going down and suddenly rising again. We're losing our nerve. The children are becoming too much to handle and it's seeming exhausting to have to spend every waking day around the same environment with the same people. When it all started armies of us prayed fervently. We made declarations, full of faith that it would be gone before we said Amen. But t...

IT'S TIME...

Image
The book of proverbs says that the Lord makes all things beautiful in it's time. This is why beautiful things happen when God says it's time. Regardless of what we have been anticipating for, it may be a financial breakthrough or a spouse or some answers. When God's time is here... Then all things will be clear. We've been waiting for your presence to arrive all day

NOT LUCKY. I'M LOVED

Image
It is very easy and common to artribute your success to either hardwork, background or even luck. Very few people will remember that it is not by power nor by might but by the spirit of God as it is written in the book of Zachariah. So what do you give credit to for your success? Who gets the glory in your life? Maybe I succeeded a little I jumped from the floor to the middle You think I want the credit I don't

CALCULATE

I watched her make her way between tables as she got closer to where I was seated. Her well held up braids and neatly aligned hairline was evidence that she had just been just to the salon. She gave me a warm smile and I stood to hug her once she got to our table. It was our routine to meet up for coffee and catch up on our lives every month and this was definitely one of those days we looked upto; to help us unwind. Many at times we would lose track of time and leave quite late but we thank God we had each other.

ALL OF MY LIFE

Image
This is my prayer in the desert When all that's within me feels dry This is my prayer in my hunger and need My God is the God who provides This is my prayer in the fire In weakness or trial or pain There is a faith proved  Of more worth than gold So refine me Lord through the flame Maybe this is where we are shaped. Maybe in that distress is where there's the ignition of the function of our faith. Maybe it is in the labour that the unending love of a mother is shaped and maybe in the struggle to hold on is where the worth of it is seen.

HIS KIND OF LOVE

Image
Someone once said love is the most miss used word in our days and I think I will agree with him. As a christian everything we do should portray Christ right? Or at least we should be different from the rest of the standards of the world. Of late I've been trying to study what love is and what love is not. Trust me I am amazed but that is a story for another day. My aim today is just to express my amazement of God's deep and unconditional love. His kind of Love It's reckless for us His kind of Love Will never give up Till the whole world knows how far He went to show His kind of Love People never come to understand how God loves, especially if one has no relationship with Him. I believe there's power in love. Many have tried to rob Love off its power by the limitation of their understanding but when I look and study how Christ walked on this earth I can see a love that is unexplainable yet so tangible. What I mean is its too deep to put it in the words o...

STORYTELLER

Image
I have wondered what it meant in the bible when it is written,"Those who overcame by their testimony". That is when I realized how powerful testimonies can be. As much as testifying is talking about what has happened before it really has something to do with what will happen in the future. Many people make decisions out of their own past experiences or from what they have heard from others. Testimonies in this context carries the goodness of the Lord and the bible is full of them. We came to Christ after hearing someone else testify. It made us want to know who this God is and what the death and the resurrection of Christ was all about. We do not testify only because we want to draw men to Christ but also because of the impact it leaves in us. We are reminded of where we have been and where we are as per now and giving us the hope to hold on and wait for tomorrow. When I came across this song i just felt like this was it. The mountain where I climbed The valley where I ...

REJOICE IN THE LORD

Image
There is nothing as sure, constant and pure as God. There many things we will try to lean on for our fulfillment but as long as its nothing to do with God it never lasts. Again if our faith is built on Christ, it is able to stand many trials but if it is built on any other foundation,it never lasts a test. Where I'm I going with this?
