Christians are often regarded as “Know-It-All”s by the faithless, because of the confidence we place in the knowledge of God and all things spiritual. Maybe it could also have something to do with how we seem to have an answer for everything…or how hard it is to get […]
Let’s think about that for a minute. Really, really think about it. Can you imagine it? The absence of the awareness of any divine Being? Any sovereign Lord? Any all encompassing Spirit? So many people profess that they can. And that they have. And in fact, they live […]
The discovery of the Universe is perhaps the most amazing discovery of man. Yet, it’s beyond our exploration. While men can boast of travelling around the world in months, weeks or even days…we can’t boast of travelling around the universe in a lifetime! We can’t even imagine what […]
Hey, good afternoon to you! And welcome to another episode of The Spotlight!!! I hope you enjoyed the last piece about why Christians should stop saying ‘God is in Control’. I would have loved to read your thoughts on the matter… In case you missed it, do check […]

My child, why do you go to the desert in search of water? You will not be satisfied in your pursuit for happiness, For love and validation, except in Me. Why do you look to man, Whose thought every day is wickedness? Why…
Earlier this year, I spotlighted a post by Simi, titled “Stop Praying For Singles To Get Married!!!” Today’s post is by a close friend of mine who is relatively new to blogging. She goes by the name Chioma Oparadike, and blogs at http://www.chiomaoparadike.com. Her tagline is “Inspiration for today’s […]
Hi y’all! The Spotlight is back with a difference! I have really appreciated the break, and I needed it. I could do with more rest, but sooner or later, I have to get back to what I love to do and trust God to bless my perseverance. I […]
Hi dear readers, I’m starting something new, by striving to answer hard questions on my blog through new posts, as a lot of my content is thought-provoking, and may require further clarity. I’m starting with a series of questions by Dina on remarriage. You may post questions as […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked this question by a reader. I don’t know what it was relating to, because that was all they wrote in their email. And it seems simple enough to answer “Yes” or “No”. But I think it’s a little more tricky, […]
The expression “follow the money” is well known among journalists seeking to find the source of corruption, particularly in government and big business. It apparently originated from the movie “All The Presidents Men”. Most people who are looking to prosper or get rich quick also tend to “follow […]
Maybe you’re right. Maybe it doesn’t really matter… Maybe it is a weak faith, strong faith issue. Maybe Paul was over-zealous when he condemned the practice of circumcision in his day, and said that anyone who sought to be justified by the Law would have no part in […]
Hans Christian Anderson told a powerful story called “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. I think every adult in this day and age should be familiar with that story. The story is about an emperor who is deceived by con men pretending to be tailors, who offer to make him […]
Here are some of the questions and comebacks I get from people when I challenge the practice of tithing. I find that the questions are usually biased towards not changing the norm rather than from the perspective of someone who truly wants to understand what the truth is. […]
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I’ll fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me ” (Psalms 23:4) I feel overwhelmed, challenged and on the brink of failure. I have so much to do, […]
Is that wrong? Why do I feel bad for saying that…? Or is it just me who imagines that any desire to be happy that is expressed is often met with “happiness is not the goal”. Since when did happiness stop being the goal? Did God call us […]
