Putting God First. I vividly remember how I struggled with the calling upon my life, before finally accepting that I had been called to be a Preacher. During those times, all that mattered to me was my political ambition, a good job, and the need to succeed in life. Who wouldn’t want a well paid job with various allowances and enough money to secure his future? We all do! I was no exception! All I wanted to do was to first make it in life, before thinking about whatever plans it was,......

How much faith is enough? There are so many instances when our faith hasn’t felt enough. During the times a loved one battles for his life in the hospital; the times when your finances are crumbling down, with no point of escape or when you are trying so much to hold on to that job, but all signs of job termination points right back at you. What do you do? The strength to even hold on to God during these times seems unavailable, and your trust in Him begins to waver. However,......

WHY JUDGE WHEN FALLIBLE? Due to our human nature, we are liable to being fallible. We tend to take certain decisions that are not pleasant. Sometimes, we even end up being associated with our wrongdoings and get lashed out by people. These comments are often derogatory and never in favor of the individuals in question. They are used to tarnish the images of these individuals, without even thinking about their positive traits. Even when these persons encounter Christ and receive a change of heart, nothing still happens. We continue to keep on......

Singleness is not a disease. “I am interested in you and I would like you to be a partaker in all aspects of my life.” I cannot lie. These words are often very sweet to hear, when you’ve been single for some time. Your sense of thinking straight is immediately thawrted and you are only left with thoughts of starting a new life with this person. As youthful as we are, certain comments and advances from the opposite sex, tend to have a huge effect on us. We commit everything to build......

Love is sacrifice. When you are in love with someone, you always try as much as possible to make sure that your beloved is comfortable and also feels loved. This is done right from staying up late to enjoy conversations with your beloved, through to making time in your busy schedules, so as to have a quality time with the one you love. Also, no matter how difficult and stressful this may be, you may not even feel an iota of pain or discomfort because you are showing love to the one......

A leap of Faith Most of us, if not all, may have encountered tough times and situations in our lives. These experiences may be due to occurrences that we saw to be too difficult to adequately handle or deal with. Depending on how badly they hit us, the loss of a parent or relative, the loss of a job or even a strained relationship amongst loved ones, could end up leaving us broken emotionally, psychologically or even spiritually. However, the response to such circumstances would definitely differ from one person to the......

Why fret? He’s got you! Tears, frustrations, sufferings, pains, depression, emotional turmoil, hopelessness the list of unpleasant situations goes on and on. Why me Lord? How did this happen? When will this cease? Are these questions familiar? As we journey this earth, we encounter many of unpleasant situations. And what is the response? Worry. We worry when a loved one is sick; when we cannot pay our fees or rents; and even when our grades are falling. Our natural response will be to try and find means of putting things in......

Your identity is in Him In our society today, it is easier for people to have a say in our lives with respect to the paths we carve for ourselves.They have a perceived view of who they expect you to be and not necessarily how God sees you and expects you to be. If you do not meet up to these expectations, you’re immediately written off and considered as not up to the task. This therefore shows how our identity has been attached so much to other people’s expectations of us.For instance;......

Tell Him your mess: He listens. Flight is usually the immediate response we tend to give to wrongdoings as humans. As soon as we realize we’ve sinned against God, our first thought of action is to find a place of refuge, away from Him. We begin to see ourselves in the most filthiest way possible and see Him to be too holy to get close to. We therefore distant ourselves from any thing and everything that has to do with Him. At that point in our lives, we start isolating ourselves from......
