Guaranteed, the people in darkness have seen a Marvellous light, one that exposes and this caused a lot of the pharisees and other teachers to hate Jesus, He was the Light and exposed people’s hearts. He showed then who they were. They stood no chance but before He did so, the baby boy who they wanted to kill as a child but admired when He was 12 had built sufficient capacity now. He knew who He was, what He was called to do and nothing or no-one could take it from Him. He understood the authority He had as The Light. This is to tell us all who belong to this Light that it is imperative we understand what the Light does, who the light is and build capacity. This is not to say that you should pretend to be who you are not and try to rush the process due to the growth of others who show you the things they want you to see. No! This is to encourage us to intentionally stay and build capacity. Be honest with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to help you. He knows the best way to. You can speak t...

Lately, light has been interesting to me. For it seems that the very nature of light is to expose, now I am speaking of physical light. I recall an incident in the hostel where I was with my bucket to go fetch water... On my way outside my block(apartment, in a sense), I was without light physically but there were two ladies who had light by using their phones, this was supposed to give them an advantage. Unfortunately, immediately I stepped out of the block, they exclaimed! Asking how I was able to step out, if I didn’t see a rat. Apparently, they wanted to step into the block with their light but they caught sight of two rats and couldn’t move further. They ran back looking for who they could follow in. I wasn’t moved by the rat sightings. It wouldn’t be the first time and besides, I saw no rat. They decided that they would wait for me to be done fetching water and follow me in then. I didn’t mind but I thought it funny that they who had the light wanted to use me, who di...

It's been awhile I posted anything and the reason, to a certain extent is simple. I have felt unmotivated to post even though I had certain things written down and I also have felt the need to present a perfect version of myself. I cannot do that however so here goes: Life has been pretty simple for me lately. I have been having engagements and classes, have an accountability partner and just been living but even more so, I have been spending a lot of time with a friend of mine and I sometimes wonder at the wisdom of it.  However, even in my wondering, I understand people who say that career ladies are helpless when it comes to those they love. In most cases, they are prone to forgetting about certain laid-out plans. It is funny as this was the same reason I chose not to venture into a romantic relationship yet it's as though God looked at me and laughed, saying I did not know what was coming.  I have enjoyed my time with this friend and I will continue to, this fe...

Recently, my mind has been a haze. I have felt the need to rein in my thoughts, my feelings, my pain from those who care about me. It seems like I thought that sharing these things would make me seem emotional and like an overthinker of sorts. I feel the need to do a bit of cut and join with those around me and it's not to be so. So we meet, laugh and play together and then when I'm alone, I am back to wondering how things will go. I am left to my thoughts, these thoughts that plague me constantly and this should be the same for many others.  Who has placed these standards for perfection? How many times have I spoken to my friends about surface things as well when there is so much going on with them? This is why people say we should pray for our friends often but I wonder how much fuller and richer our relationships will be if we communicate openly more, there does not need to be a guarantee that a solution will be provided. If only we just talk. If only we just open ou...

On what template should growth be measured? Error seeps in at times even with those well meaning in the body of Christ. There are a lot of ways in which growth is communicated, ways that in more ways than one cause segregation. Ways that make you seem greater and the other lesser but who categorises those who are greater or lesser in this kingdom? Jesus. Jesus who said the first will be the last and last first. I do not have any theological explanation for this nor do I require that you write me one. It is a call for you to search your heart. How many times have we(me inclusive) all presented a greater version of ourselves in order to seem perfect? Doesn’t this kill? Putting sins in categories with one being higher than the other. Sex or anything affiliated with it is often regarded as shameful but something like not listening to God is talked of more because it is “normal.” It will not be rejected. Who made this laws? Who set these rules? Who places categories? If we...

On the 8th of March 2023, International Women’s day, I watched a talk on Netflix by Brene Brown titled: “ The Call to Courage.” While listening to all she had to say, I realised that I had an issue with commitment. I was committed to certain things but not fully. I was committed to God but not fully. True, I trusted what He had said and certain things in scripture but I realised that at almost every point in time, I had tried to use logic to explain most of what He had told me. Even personal promises that I had written down. I realised then that I was running from fully committing to God should something happen and He fails. Yes, I know the word of the Lord is true and if He said it, He will do it. You know, I really believe His words in people’s lives. Sometimes, I could even be the one communicating that word to a person or group of people. I just wasn’t sure of His word in my life and if I should really hold onto it, really hold onto His personal promises to me. One thi...

It’s been a minute.  How have you been?  How has your life been? Have you been taking steps to be better everyday? If yes, how has it been? If No, why? When are you going to start? Think on these things, my friends. While you are thinking on that, I thought to share how I have been doing and what’s been up with me lately; Recently, I began listening to NF. Even right now, I am listening to Hope by NF. A very wholesome music.  I had been thinking of the rawness of some of my writeups prior to learning of him and the songs he wrote. He is very bold and open about what is going on with him in a sort of dark way yet it communicates life. Listening to some of his songs inspired me to keep on writing about my feelings. Why do all this? I do not fully understand but writing is an outlet for me. A very good outlet for a lot of things. In a sense, I also hope to communicate life, to communicate my feelings and encourage those going through the same things. What’s the p...
