After they’d made love a second time that afternoon, Erhuvwun rose from the bed, thinking they’d better make the most of the day before the darkness fell. But Amadi pulled her into him and held her close. He was enjoying their intimacy. He was enjoying her in a […]
“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the […]
Erhuvwun woke up the next morning and immediately jumped off the bed. She’d overslept. Amadi had left her sleeping in for the first time ever. She heard the familiar sound of his axe against wood, and knew he was outside working on his new furniture project. She tied […]
Erhuvwun preferred to wash their clothes by the stream. She had told Amadi how the flowing water was ideal for rinsing them off and left a lovely fragrance in the fabrics. After the first time, when his wrappers had returned brighter than they’d ever been, he hadn’t challenged […]
The first month was the hardest. Erhuvwun woke up to the realisation that she’d married a stranger, and the scarier part of that was the meaning of marriage, rather than the fact that he was a stranger. In every respect, she had been sold into bondage, and she […]
Erhuvwun’s first thought was of Akpos, the man she’d wanted to marry, when her father told her about his foolish mistake. She’d been holding out for Akpos for over a year now, and had turned down other suitors, believing he was going to come back and take her […]
Onuoha was sober for the first time in five years. Last night, he’d made the biggest mistake of his life, and there was no way he could correct it… What had possessed him to mention her name…? To even think of such a thing? He sat outside his […]
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me” (John 15:4). Last week Thursday, I published a response post (it’s deleted now), following a post by another […]
If God was a comedian, He would be the last man standing! He has such an amazing sense of humour, which is clearly evident in nature. Sometimes, I can’t help laughing at what the Lord has done, or at myself when I wake up to the realisation that […]
Jesus: “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Matthew 15:13-14). That’s so rude, Jesus! How can you call them […]
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 […]
A young man and friend who read my book, The Church Girl, asked me the other day – “What’s the significance of the ring?” He referred to the scene where Mary was returning Ifeanyi’s ring to him, and was wondering why women need or want a ring with a […]
Jesus: “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Matthew 15:13-14). That’s so rude, Jesus! How can you call them […]
It is unbelievable that a Word can become Flesh. It is unbelievable that through spoken Words, The World and all that is in it were created. It is unbelievable, until you believe… It is unbelievable that God chose to become a Man. It is unbelievable that though He’s […]
This is a follow up post to my post on Friday, under Reader Questions, where I addressed the question “what has God done today more than yesterday?“, which was posed by an Atheist. I invited others to share their testimonies of what God has been doing in their […]
