After your long fast is over, what next do you do—relax and eat all you have missed? Or catch up on your TV series you constrained yourself from watching while the fast was on? Or live the disciplined life God intended for you? Prayer and Fasting is a non-negotiable requirement for the maturity of every Christian. It helps us curb our fleshly desires and focus more on God. And if you are like me,…

Life before I found Jesus Christ was a make believe one. Appearing to love God on the outside but behind closed doors, I was...

Saying I found Jesus Christ almost sounds like a paradox because He is too magnificent to be minute or hidden! Nevertheless, humans always have ways of looking for answers in the wrong places. Quite interestingly, there is one Answer that gives us answers to all of life’s questions—His name is Jesus Christ!! Life Before I Found Jesus Christ Life before I found Jesus Christ was mostly a make…

Do you speak Christianese only? Or do you truly stick to Christian Living? Check out my latest blogpost. Let's rub minds.

Every Christian’s modus operandi (mode of operation) ought to reflect Jesus Christ. You cannot operate like the world and live the God kind of life. In other words, to live the Genesis 1:28 life, our modus operandi has to be prescribed by God. The way (we) Christians live, what we do and what we refrain from doing ought not be hidden. The fruits of our walk with God should be apparent for all to…

Specially Curated For You.

Every Christian has the resources to live a fulfilling life this year and beyond.  But it’s the understanding and right application of these resources  that will determine how glorious our future will be. Nothing makes God prouder than seeing His children live victorious Christian lives. That’s the reason why He sent His sinless Son, Jesus Christ to come and pave the way for us all. So how can we…

What To Do When You Feel Far From God

There are times when when we get the giddy feeling from being close to God. You flow in praise, worship and prayers. You have diverse encounters, experience testimonies causing you to be certain of God’s nearness. And there are other times when the aforementioned are almost the complete opposite of what you experience. God seems far, you are not getting answers to your prayers, your word-study…

Keeping Your Hope Alive: How To Live Above Discouragement

Have your expectations ever become so bleak that you think to yourself, “this might never work, I might never find a solution, this is the end of the road for me…” Know  this – you are not alone and this is definitely not the end of the road. On this journey of life, we all will be faced with trials. Nevertheless, the outlook we have on life is…

How To Avoid Falling Into Temptation in 2021

Jesus Himself taught us to pray against falling into temptation (Matthew 9:13). This simply tells that the topic of being tempted is an everyday affair that must be seriously guarded against. Falling into temptation is a choice and not an accident or typically the work of the devil like many (wo)men especially Christians will classify it. Dear Reader, the topic of today does not address how to…

Mental Health Matters: Your Mind Matters to God

The importance of one’s mental health cannot be overemphasized. Take it from someone like me who managed Bipolar Affective Disorder (a mental illness) for seven years. It is possible for one to be saved, physically fit, and still have mental disturbances. Although our  bodies, minds, and spirits are interrelated, they are distinct in their functions. And the good news is – God is interested in…

Why Your Relationship With God Matters

Truth is – it takes two to make a relationship work.  More importantly, one who is in a relationship with another ought to be present. He or she ought to care.  Friend, no one ought to doubt if their relationship…

Failing Faith? What To Do When It Seems Your Faith is Failing

Does it seem tiring to keep believing?  Is your faith failing? Are the answers to your prayers not forthcoming? Do you know someone who is currently finding it hard to navigate their journey with God? Dear One, do not give up. The fact that you still got faith tells a whole lot about you. It shows you’re one who is not complacent about a failing faith. That, my friend, is victory in itself. By…

How To Understand And Apply God’s Word

If you understand and apply God’s Word to your situation, you are guaranteed answers to your questions, and breakthroughs where there have been breakdowns. On the other hand, your lack of understanding and inability to apply God’s Word to your situations will only result in unrest and struggles. Do you need solutions in any area of your life? Are you in search of insights that’ll yield your…

Move With The Cloud, Not The Crowd

Being stationary is not typical of any human. An embryo moves in its mother’s wombs – proceed to the fetal stage until it is moved out of the womb through birth. From the time of birth to the time of death, man was designed to move. Even in our sleep, our hearts beat. That, still, is movement.

Although making movements is crucial to our living, some movements do not lead to one’s progress.…

Rethink Your Definition of Rest

Nothing can change the fact that work is a nonnegotiable need. Whether it’s hard work, smart work, or quick work, one fact remains unchanged – for us to live dignified lives, great quality of work must be done. Regarding overwork or imbalanced work, one topic that isn’t very far from the lips of many is that of burnout—the state of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion caused by prolonged…

No Need For You To Prove A Point

Through the years, have you ever been in a place where you are determined to get a promotion, make a sale, strike a business deal, purchase a property, buy a piece of shoe, or celebrate your birthday – in order to prove a person wrong? Have you longed so bad to prove a point, then did just that afterwards? They thought you won’t be on the job for that long, they thought you’d fail in that…
