Wondering what this means? It's simple! A torch shines for a few hours and then retires to receive strength/charge from its source. This implies that without a torch having "alone" time with its source, it won't be able to brighten the way of men or eradicate the darkness in a room, but the longer it stays from its source, the dimmer its light gets and fades away. Unlike the light bulb. It is continually connected to its source and for as long as this source stays on, the light bulb lightens up the path of men and dispels darkness, but once it gets disconnected from its source it becomes useless and unfruitful. It no longer serves the purpose for which it was created. What light bearer are you? The torch or the light bulb? Whichever you are, you still need a source, our very own source; God. You could choose to be a torch, but I'd rather you be a light bulb, constantly connected to the source, and lighting up the path of men.

Hello people of God!!! Who remembers my last post on  "Believe, stop figuring it out" ?  I got an insight from a part of the Bible relating to it, and I would love to share it with us. I was amazed, as I had never read that part of the Bible in that light before. I'm sure many of us have read, taught, and even preached that verse without actually realizing the nature of faith and belief demonstrated there. Y'all must be wondering what part of the Bible I'm referring to...lol. Don't worry, I'll tell you. Open your Bibles with me to the book of Matthew. No, John the beloved actually. John chapter 2 verse... Oh, I sure must be sounding like a preacher right now . Anyways, John chapter 2 is where I'm narrating the story of today from. I'm very sure most, if not every one of us, is quite familiar with the story in that passage. It is the story of the wedding in Canada... Oh sorry, I meant Cana of Galilee. It was the plac...

Hey guys, happy new month!!!🤗 Permit me to share a gist on an event​ that occurred about two years​ ago. I'd wanted to share this for a very long time, but I just was too lazy to write it all out. Forgive me😭. They say some stories should never be read on a blog. Maybe this is one, maybe it's really not relevant here. But whatever your judgement might be, this is my story and so therefore it's allowed to be published here😁. Thanks for your cooperation😚. In all sincerity, I believe we all should be able to learn a lesson from this my beautiful story, and even if we don't learn anything from it, we should sha enjoy the story 😚. So as usual, on a thursday morning, I.. (no wait, lez not even lie. I can't remember if it was on a thursday morning😂). But one day like that sha, I had exhausted my mobile data and I just kept believing that God was going to provide another subscription plan for me...

Few months ago, I had several thoughts run through my mind. Thoughts of past failures, sins, errors etc. I tried coping and scaling through them, but all my efforts were fraustrated. It felt like people around weren't helping matters, and God himself had given up on me. Then a new month came, but I wasn't​ actually excited. Nevertheless, with so much confidence, I still went to church the following Sunday, and behaved​ like all was fine. I kept up with my self deceit until my roommate, who was sitting next to me during the service suddenly turned to me and said "You are Christ". Well it wasn't like I was not aware of this, but her proclamation caught me off guard. I mean, she doesn't always sound and look like someone who believes in religious issues as such. I remember her always changing topics when ever I brought up the "take Christ serious" gist.  For a fact, her words hit me hard, and made me analyse my problem. I mean, I had lost my id...

It's almost natural to get worked up with life. I mean, just the mere thought that things aren't working out the way they should or the way the word of God says they would, could be extremely frustrating and depressing. I've had to promise and reassure myself so many times that I truly heard God speak on certain issues not necessarily involving myself, but involving lives around me. Yes, I'm that kindof a person. People's unsuccessful or broken lives affect me a whole lot. But notwithstanding, no matter how we feel, or how overwhelming our emotions get, we must always remember that we're the light in this depressed world. The way we speak, make decisions or even go about our daily lives should unconsciously provide solutions to the problems of the people around us. We should consciously make decisions out of a place of sincere love (for God, for men) and inner peace. Living in peace with all men, and striving never to compare ourselves with others. We all ...

The obedient always obey God when He first speaks. They are the ones whom God will use to make the world know Him. You really cannot talk about things that you have never experienced. Therefore, God has a process of training us. We cannot take people into the depths of God unless we have been broken ourselves. We must have a brokenness to get into the depths of God. And beautifully, " _ the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart _ "😊. If God definitely tells you to do anything, do it. But be sure it is God who is telling you🌝.

As interested as Christ is in our sincere commitment to Him, he's also very much concerned with our complete state of well-being. It is often said that Christianity is not a religion; man's way of reaching​ a higher power or state of being through his own efforts. Rather, it is a relationship that God has established with His children, with God being the aggressor and man, the beneficiary. With all these being said, is it then compulsory to fast? I mean we all most times unconsciously see fasting as an avenue to reach out to God, to manipulate Him, to get him to change his will to our favour, or simply for the sake of self righteousness. And truthfully this is wrong! We must have the right motives for fasting. It should be an exercise done in spirit and in truth as it is also a form of worship. Fasting is all about changing yourself, and not changing God. In as much as there are no commands in the New Testament that followers of Jesus are to fast, Jesus sometimes fasted, ...
