Storms are never welcomed experiences, and no one in their right mind walks into a storm just for fun. Storms come as surprises when we are least prepared for them. They are usually overwhelming, beyond our control, defy our escape strategies, and show no respect for age, gender, race, or religion. The COVID experience was five years ago, and its […]

Valentine’s is this Friday. Perhaps you are waiting for that special person to express love to you. You may be already getting anxious about whether it will happen. You may have even given up hope and concluded it will not happen like last year. But the problem is not that person, it is you. God’s command to love is not […]

God created humans in his image to share eternity with Him in perfect harmony – this is grace. However, we rebelled and fell from grace to grass and became slaves of Satan with the consequence of spending eternity in hell with our new boss. However, grace showed up again in the person of Jesus Christ, who went to the slave […]

Daily, we are bombarded with new and improved products in the market or new ways of doing old things better, faster, and cheaper. We want upgrades to the latest products because they are better and more user-friendly than the old ones. On the spiritual side, we may echo with the psalmist our desire for a spiritual upgrade and cry out: […]

When God stopped the flow of the Jordan and the children of Israel crossed the river on dry ground, they were commanded to pick up stones from the riverbed and set them up as a memorial (Jos. 3 & 4). No one, including the unborn generation, was to forget this incredible miracle that the Lord wrought. God is still in […]

Your 2025 journey is on, but where is your destination? Some people take jolly rides with no destination in mind and are contented wherever their ride takes them. People are expected to have firm destinations in mind before stepping out. Depending on the destination, elaborate plans are made. Money is saved, travel documents and immunizations are updated, reservations are made, […]

God is saying He has plans to prosper you and give you hope and a future. You will have a blissful year if your plans align perfectly with God’s plans. If not, jettisoning your plans […]

As the year wraps up in a few hours, it is time to step back and reflect to be better prepared for the New Year. Do not seek to relive the past, whether pleasant or painful. Do not waste time and energy regretting or savoring the past. Take only the lessons learned from the past to live in the present […]

The experience of being in a new place where you are different from everyone else and lack the language to communicate can be unnerving. The same is true when we find ourselves in predicaments from which we cannot extricate ourselves. The greatest need in such times is a friend who understands your fears and needs and is willing to walk […]

We celebrate Christmas because of what it signifies. Apostle Paul says, “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst” (1Tim. 1:15). We all must come to the place that Paul got to and claim the first position of being the worst of sinners. No one […]
