“Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (1 Tim 4:16). How important is doctrine in the life of a Christian? What is doctrine, really? Google defines doctrine as a “belief […]
“Good afternoon, thanks for replying. Saw ur post “he is not psychopathic, he just doesn’t love you”. I experienced such few years ago but i thank God i was able to stand and work out of the relationship though it wasn’t easy at all… However the situation of […]
Today, I am 34 years old, and I give God all the glory for my life! By His grace, I am not only a year older, but a little wiser too. I glorify Him for all that He has brought me through, and for all the ways He has […]
More than a week ago, I shared my counsel with a lady who was in love with a man, who had told her that he couldn’t move forward with the relationship if kissing was off the table. My counsel to her, based on my understanding, was that I […]
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). The Apostle Paul is known for his strong stance on morality for Christians, even as he is known to wrestle against the legalism of the Jews (Gal 3). He […]
“For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if though be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision” (Romans 2:25). I’ve moved on to reading the Book of Romans, and this verse really stuck out to me. Here, Paul is speaking to the […]

I recently caught up with an old friend, and we got to talking as though we’d been talking forever. Our conversations are always deep, so I thought to share with her something that had been shared on my family group on Whatsapp. It was something that actually raised […]
I just concluded another reading of the book of Acts, and I got quite a few lessons from it. There was something that really got me this time. A communication between Jesus and Paul. In the 23rd Chapter, there is an account of Paul being held in the […]
“Dear Ufuomaee, I need your advice on this issue ma. Last year my husband made a mistake and got a lady pregnant, he begged me and promise to quit the relationship as soon as the lady born the baby, which I agree. But the lady has born the baby […]
This post was inspired by an article I read yesterday by Keith Haney about the guilt that White people are made to feel about the privileges they enjoyed in the past, and probably still enjoy today. I shared my comment under his post, but I got to thinking… What […]
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). So, I was having a conversation with an old friend the other day, and this issue about the fact that we are all awful sinners, and none of us is good, came up. It […]
