Unhoney comb experience.

Image
My life has been a constant cacophony of stories from adventures and accidents that God saved me. The stories of deliverance continue like a melody. Before 2025 ended, a kid while playing volleyball smashed into me and nearly broke my head and jaw, but not a bone was broken. I was amazed how the pain and throbbing clots all settled down after 3 days and in the following weeks, God would use me to stand and share the Word in tiny little crowds. In those quiet hours of midnight, I keep thinking His grace extends each time to convince me that even in such and such situation - His hand is mighty to save.  Come 2026 and I still go about my little life doing mundane little chores as usual and one such day was yesterday trying to clean up my backyard. I stomped to light a fire to clean old debris from our garbage ring and pulled the asbestos sheets after gathering dried banana leaves to flame the old papers and leaves.  Lost in the joy of igniting my matches I first didn't notice the...

A thriving spirit?

Image
 1.30am. Delving in and out of pains that is sometimes widespread or at times flaming right at my spine and knees - yet smiling away that ' the name of the Lord is a strong tower ' (Proverbs 18:10). It gives me great joy, deep down in my heart that ' the righteous can run to it and be safe.' So I went to check this chapter in Proverbs, also because the book has begun to amuse me with its various synonymous and antithetic parallelisms that I am pondering through while I begin my preparations for the TWR quiz for the year. And lo! at verse 14, my eyebrows heighten and a very knowing smile flashes out of me like when one has found a hidden gem in the garden he was digging. Solomon didn't have to go through lot of life experiences to say this one perhaps(idk), but on second thoughts his observations are so right, so profound time and again! Oh yes, when you are going through chaotic illness and medicines nauseate the last bit of sanity in you, the only thing that can s...

Light after the darkness

Image
 After not being able to tolerate the intense myalgia and unbearable pain, often my body quivers and shakes in confusion and my thoughts sink into an all-time low.   As I prepare my resume for another job and on LinkedIn see how friends and juniors have gone up the ladder and I can't hold onto a single wrung, forget ever working like the smart girl I used to be, I feel huge waves of sorrow come up and engulf me. No I can't run to my heart's content, can't play volleyball or pick children and laugh and jump with them like old days. When siblings and friends cook a storm up, I am still trying to fumble with rotting legs trying to finish one dish for the kids' meal. I look at their energy and laughter and mirth and see my own being swallowed up with time. I  stand at the road side and watch folks swirl their cars with pride, yet I console my heart that we cant get behind the wheel right now and gently rub those dreams off my mind. There is a stunning silence inside tha...

Powerful yet loving Shepherd.

Image
Isn't it worth noting that Isaiah prophesied during the pre-Christ era that God (Messiah) will come in power with great might and then he switches the tone and idea of the message that he will gather his flock like a shepherd?? What is the connection, is there a contradiction here? 💭 Indeed that is what the Mighty God of the heavens gave the highest priority on his agenda. War, end of the other powers and his kingdom was yet to come - but before that He thought it important that his elect be chosen and lead with gentleness, godliness and great love. You and I stand a chance before that Great and Mighty God only because of his everlasting kindness and love. Like a shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep(John 10) he know us so well and cares for us to the point of sacrificing his own self that we will be saved. The work is already done on the cross! And each day he carries us like little lambs that need care in the shepherd's arms. See his reward is with him as well as ...

Assurance

Image
The challenges and oppositions in life are often a hard reality. We wonder, ' God, will I make through this? How will I make through this? ' so very often. It takes a leap of faith to restyle that thinking into ' Not with my strength or worldly wisdom but with your help alone, can I sail through in this storm.' It takes two more leaps after one has wholly surrendered to God to say ' Thankyou Lord, because you are going to stand with me in this storm.'  'Thankyou Lord, because you are going to provide or change my wants and desires.'  'Thankyou for being in control because my vision has blurred with all the confusion - yet, you can see how beautifully well this will turn around . And when that happens,  I am going to see the glory of God working in me and realise that you do all the mending when the work within me is pending and I know that you will catch me and never let me fall.' This great assurance builds me up. My spirit will not be weary nor...

The Righteous right hand.

Image
Isaiah 41 :10 - So do not fear, for I am with you;     do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you;     I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. The 'right hand' here marks one with authority or honor. Goes to say that God is powerful to move the situation around in your favor and will reach out to save you in circumstances where you can't think, have lost strength or the power to take the next step forward. Behold! Our God is able and he uplifts us in dismay. Any sin can be washed by his blood poured for our deliverance on the Cross. No task is too huge or difficult for Him. If you will humbly come to him and put your feeble hand into His able hand, His victorious forces will rush their chariots out for you. Take heart!
