Lola checked her phone for messages and missed calls when she was alone in her hotel room. Bolu had responded to her earlier message with “Great! Work’s been busy today. I’ll call you when I get home, so we can talk about how your day went.” However, there […]
Danny chose a table by the poolside, which had a lovely view of the lagoon. He pulled a seat out for Lola, and she sat down without making a fuss. She’d observed how he had been greeted and how they had been treated on entry into the hotel, […]
This question was asked in a group I manage on WhatsApp. It doesn’t relate to any particular post I have written, but I believe the lessons and answer I gave are important to share. It was posed: This issue keeps bothering through my mind pls i need your […]
My two year old boy is learning new words everyday. I’ve been teaching him to say “please” and “thank you” and “good morning”…and yes, we’ve also practiced “sorry”. He struggles immensely with that one. It is quite mind-blowing. How does he know that he doesn’t mean it…and so […]
You see that little boy in the picture, jumping happily without a care… He needs Jesus! For many believers, this is a given, but the realisation that my son needs Jesus to be good, and not just me to raise him right, came as a little shock to […]
“And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Be hold we die, we perish, we all perish. Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?” (Num 17:12-13). I’ve been reading the Book of Numbers in the […]
Jesus teaches us that the pure in heart are blessed because only they will see God (Matt 5:8). When we are gifted with spiritual sight…to believe in God, to be aware of His presence, to desire His fellowship…we are blessed. But there are times when we do not […]

What does that mean? Does it mean that the righteous don’t have a Law nor a need for one? I believe by saying this, Paul was explaining the need for the Law, which is three fold: 1. To make sin and evil known (Rom 3:20); 2. To prevent […]
“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 […]
Sin. Who has never fallen into it? Who has never relished it? Every single one of us has loved sin. Many still maintain a love-hate relationship with sin. When we came to Christ, there were some sins that were just so hard to forsake. Some that we had to […]
“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto […]
People often say Christians shouldn’t threaten unbelievers out of the road to hell…that it is wrong or unethical to preach hell to get them to accept Jesus as their only salvation. It isn’t just the unbelieving who say this. Many Believers think and say this too, with varying degrees of […]
I’ve written a few pieces on Hell recently, as I’ve tried to understand and explain why a loving God would create such a place so contrary to His character. As I’ve written these posts, and gained understanding by God’s Spirit, I have been amused. God has a marvelous […]
“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 […]
