Resist the Urge for Fame!
I prayed for him on his sickbed, and he was miraculously healed of his heart disease. He visited my church, brought me gifts, and always looked at me with awe. He’d rise when I went near and baked me cake when he came by until I cut off ties with him when he failed to…

We Are Not Celebrities
I had seen him before, but did not take too much notice of him. Listening to him teach was promising. One night, after praying, the visions of the Lord that came to me included him. I saw this young man as a child who had taken oversized clothing and wore them. It was such a…

Move!
You could be wasting away and not know. The speed with which the earth revolves, and how time moves, are incredible, yet its smooth blend and continuity make one feel there is no movement at all. The clock revolves every second for 1440 times before you retire to bed, but you may never feel its…

Sartorial Sins, Buttocks, “Monkeys,” and the Hypocrisy of the World.
That this world is perverse is a no-brainer, all can see alike (can they?).

To Be or Not To Be?
To be or not to be? To be happy or sad, to be ebullient or doleful, to be passionate or moody? To be or not to be is the quest I set out to seek. It’s the puzzle I needed to solve, the enigma that stared me down to red teary eyes. The proof of…

Left, Right or Forward – Our Blind Date with Unipolarity
I wish I was 20 again, so I could know to do better. I wish I was 30 again, then I’d have been smarter. I wish I could be 40 for just a year, and there dare my mind those decisions again. But such is the enigma of life. Such are the perils that line…

How Other Christians Are Crossing Over!
Over here, we are crossing over in grand styles. The hype is so malignant that, anyone who is unable to go to church tonight will feel so left out. Yet, while we gloat over our hysterical crossing overs and leaping overs, throwing millions of dollars away in the egoistic displays of humongous billboards, showing off…

God, You, And The Hysteria of 31st December.
This may surprise you, but God may not do anything new on 31st December for you. In Christ, any day could be a special day, so God does not need to wait till new year’s eve before answering your prayer. He has not been waiting since January 1st 2019, to do that remarkable thing for…
