There is a reason why patience is needed. If you get it too early you will spoil it. If you get it too late you will miss it at its best. The timing is crucial. There is the context. If you get it in that place, the area won’t appreciate the blessing. Whereas if you […]
Read More Environment for the Call“Hello?” “Hello.” “Is this Mr Christopher Dryden?” “Yes, it is.” “Hello I’m calling in response to your recent job interview. We were really impressed with your responses and we would like to invite you to take on the position, would this be of interest to you?” What a call! I am not a big fan […]
Read More The First CallThere are some people who really aren’t keen to recount significant episodes in their past. They don’t like nostalgia, their favourite subject was never history and the moment anyone starts singing ‘Those Were The Days’, they run for cover. There is no time to look back on what happened, there is only going forwards. I […]
Read More AheadOne of the things I love in scripture is reading about people’s names changed. Yeah I love those moments. However the name was changed or whenever there’s just something about the name change that is like an establishment of an identity. One of the characters who got a new name was a Levite from the […]

At the same time, though, in that bid to stay ahead of the pack and not fall for anything, there’s also a move towards cynicism that suggests it’s not good to stand for anything … other than an approach […]
Read More Soften Your HeartThere are times where I forget that it’s not only the Word of God, but it has the Word from God. What I mean is that when I’m reading about what happens to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Gideon, Samuel, David, Elijah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Nehemiah, Jesus, Peter, Paul and John among others, in and among […]
Read More When I Hear The Praises StartYou are amazing. When I see you and realise what a difference you’ve made in my life, it is the reason why I have to say you are amazing. You give me a reason to live. You do this by example – showing me the life that you live and how I can live it […]
