People have been patient with me. Not everyone, obviously. Some just did not have the time to wait for me to get it. Some were frustrated that as they saw it, someone like me should have already been behaving and operating at the standard. I was not, though. Part of that was ongoing struggles with […]
Read More Patience – A Priceless GiftThere are some days. The truth of the matter is, it’s all about God. It is really all Him. Yet there are some days and indeed some weeks where there is a greater appreciation that it is not in my own strength that I can make it. The pressures can get a bit much and […]
Read More His Grace Will See You ThroughIt’s weird when I think about. There’s really nothing about me that would make me someone who is naturally inclined to enjoy prayer meetings. Growing up in a church background I genuinely found prayer and prayer meetings to be among the most boring parts of the Christian practices to which I was exposed. I remember […]
Read More Prayer, People and PersistenceRelationships are so crucial to developing as a human being. One of the aspects of those relationships is when people get together and work together on a project. The interactions and engagements that present the different aspects of people’s personalities and characters is so fascinating. That is evident when we get around to share life […]
Read More You Didn’t See That Coming – A Word on the Group DynamicRedeemed. I love it. There’s a hymn of the same title and it’s the epitome of the term ‘uplifting’.

There’s the connection to the Spirit that is evident and what water does in life as well is something that was highlighted and I took much encouragement from […]

They inform you that a mutual friend of yours (let’s call him, John) is about to leave the country and you’re unlikely to see that person for a long time. So you and Sarah […]
Read More Gathering For A ChangeIt’s a privilege to be surrounded by people who have so much love for God and His Word. I was with some of them recently and one of them shared a familiar verse of scripture found in the letter by James. He writes about godly wisdom as opposed to worldly wisdom. Then he turns that […]
Read More You Don’t Have Because You Don’t AskWhen you’ve been oppressed by the superpower of the day. When they have taken umbrage at your efforts for liberation and sent their mighty forces to bring you back in. When all of this is upon you, it’s understandable that you can feel a little anxious. When you’ve been oppressed by financial and mental pressures […]
Read More Gloriously TriumphantThe creation account in Genesis still fascinates me. It’s such an intriguing piece. There’s that bit in the recounting of the making man, formed out of the dust. Then with a breath into the nostrils he becomes a living creature. It’s just the image of a lifeless dust form animated by the breath of life […]
