It’s understandable if this week’s blog title seems somewhat arrogant. I’m certainly not old enough to make such a claim based on my experience. Even if I were a centenarian, I still wouldn’t have lived long enough to say I fully understand how life works. However, the challenge is that regardless of what we know …
Fear isn’t a positive emotion for me. I know some people are at their best when they’re afraid and achieve impressive feats as a result. I’m certainly not in that category. Furthermore, I find fear debilitating and prohibitive. So, I shuddered the first time I encountered the instruction to fear God. In my experience, most …
How would you honestly describe your relationship with God? Or better yet, how would those close to you describe your relationship with God? I’ve heard lots of cliché statements like “I’m sold out for Christ”, “Jesus is my all”, and the like. I don’t judge but if God gave you everything you ever asked for, …
What we know of God isn’t all there is to know of God. God being infinite means we cannot exhaust all there is to know of Him. Nevertheless, we’re to desire to know Him more and seek His presence because to know God and His Son is the precise definition of eternal life [John 17:3]. …
I remember arguing with a friend some time ago about the disparity between something in the Bible and our lived experience. It was the kind of frivolous argument Paul warns against [Titus 3:9].

In recent weeks, I have written about the need to candidly assess our walk with God in line with the results we’re experiencing in our Christian experience and, I have also written about the cost of being ignorant of the ways of God. I believe the quality of the results we experience and the level …
Many people are familiar with the fable of the three little pigs. The story begins with three adolescent pigs leaving the safety of home to establish themselves. Now independent, each pig has to figure out how to make it through life. As the story goes, they all built homes; the first pig built his house …
I once was asked: “who is your target audience? Christians or non-Christians?” The topics I write about will be more appealing to Christians. But I do hope non-Christians also find the points I put across helpful. However, this week, I am writing primarily for non-Christians in the hope of triggering some introspection. I think as …
“…you will know the truth and the truth will set you free”. Those are the famous words of Jesus as recorded in John 8:32. So, what do you know and has it set you free? Or put differently, are you enslaved to anything – drugs, alcohol, pornography, sex, power and so on? Is your identity …
When was the last time you heard a sermon on Spiritual warfare? I haven’t recently and it’s just not something talked about much in most churches. Why is this? During Jesus’ ministry, He dealt quite frequently with demons and demonic activities. In one of such stories recorded by Mark, a young boy possessed by an …
