Anchored

God is good when things are flowing flawlessly, and you feel as though you are the most blessed and most favoured. God is good when the fissures become cracks, and everything is falling apart, and you have nothing or no one to anchor you.  God is good when the enemy arises like a flood, and you feel like you’re drowni…

Through the Looking Glass

I know that things don’t happen “all at once.” There’s a beginning: the spark is ignited, and ideas are spoken, words are said, before a skeleton is built. I see nations in upheaval, some more than others, and I look back to times past, with my abysmal knowledge of history, of the leaders back then. I remember …

Spirit Led

I recently read a post on a familiar subject regarding posting personal testimonies online. Generally speaking, there’s a sentiment among some Christians (not all) that you shouldn’t post such a blessing because of witchcraft from one’s background, and evil eyes of people who want to scatter that blessing. Once upon a…

Stay Ready

I saw a short clip yesterday of a preacher saying when a woman’s pregnant, before she has even seen the baby, she starts purchasing all the things she’ll need for the baby’s arrival. She begins to prepare, knowing that the baby is on the way. Matthew 21:22 says that if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask …

Thankfulness

I want to complain because there is much to complain about. It won’t solve anything, but pointing out the obvious is oddly satisfying. There’s an odd sense of acknowledgement, and bonding with others-- even complete strangers at the grocery store--over shared frustration feels healing. But I’ve felt the prompting to e…

Stony Ground

During bible study, a comment was made that Christians don’t exercise their faith but often lean toward     being practical or realistic rather than declaring the Word of God. For example, the word of God says that you were healed by the stripes of Jesus, but rather than declaring wholeness, we consistently declare …

Commissioned

As I’m slow-walking my way through the gospels, today it occurred to me that I’m not walking in the fullness of the Great Commission. I thought this because my Bible commentary highlighted that Jesus called for us to do the same works, and greater works than He did. And despite hearing this during church sermon…

Afloat

I recently read something that I wrote for myself that I perceived God was saying back in March. And the thing he stated to me did happen, has happened. At this point believing God should be the order of the day, but I still get scared that maybe this time around I heard wrong, maybe this time around he won’t come thr…

Time Theft

It’s almost November. The end of the year is around the corner. I had certain goals for 2025, and regrettably, I haven’t met them. I was lamenting this because these are my personal goals. I had imagined how achieving them would crown this year and satisfy me. But even though the tenth month is over i…

Choose Your Hard

After all these years in the faith, surrendering to God’s plans has not gotten easier. The more you boldly say yes, the greater the pressure to jump ship becomes. You never really graduate in faith; your capacity of faith increases and comes with seemingly increased challenges.     But I suppose what I’m seeing is s…

Unbelief

We are believers who do not believe.     I think that, personal weaknesses aside, people of faith do not exercise faith as we ought. We say we have faith, and I think we do, but when trouble comes, many of us are like the seed that fell on rocky ground, and because the word is not rooted, we quickly lose faith.  Per…

Giving Thanks

The past few days I’ve been thinking a lot about this scripture: rejoice, pray always, and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 1Thess5:16-18.   The good things that God is doing are too much to comprehend. And it is cause for great rejoicing. But is it odd that it’s…

Thus Far, And No More

I have concluded that I will do things differently than I would typically do them in some areas of my life, especially pertaining to culture and obligations. I’m not looking to throw the baby with the bathwater, but if the baby’s gotta go, I won’t keep it just to save face.   I’ll probably always reference Plato’s all…

Light Has Come

“But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him” (John 12:37).  Recently when I read this scripture, I felt it was talking to me, but I didn’t understand how that could be so. I thought about testimonies that I have, I thought of testimonies that I heard, and thought of the things …

Bitter Work

After celebrating our church’s 20 th  year anniversary, I returned home and began reading my pastor’s memoirs of those 20 years. A few pages in, and I can scarcely believe the level of people’s selfishness. I think some levels of selfishness should make you feel embarrassed. After contemplating w…

Love Paradox

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.  Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utt…
