I saw this comment of mine on a friend's blog post. Apparently, we had a fallout and in the middle of our back and forths, I told him this (which later ended on his blog): Friends are here to help and support you. Anytime, we have differing opinions and you know you’re in the right, kindly try to explain that, ''No, that’s not how it is'' and do not get critical and defensive. Maybe the people you claim left you and are nowhere to be found left not because they were envious, but because of the way you responded to them. You can never conclude on anyone being NOWHERE to be found. You just don’t know what God is presently doing in their lives. Everyone knows that a snail with direction is better than a Kangaroo with speed but no direction. Instead of allowing people FALL OUT of your life, just because you think they are not ambitious or supportive or what, just let them be. Not everyone will be popular worldwide Christians and in fact, being a popular worldwide pr

Although there is no set age for salvation since salvation is free to all, the BEST time to accept the gift of salvation is in the days of one's youth. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, "Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them." Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me." (Matt. 11:29) And the Bible further stresses in Lam. 3:27 that, "It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." These Scriptures emphasize the necessity of coming to Christ as a youth. As young people, the cares of the world, its pleasures and excitement can distort our perception of life and eternity, but we know that youthfulness will not last forever; there will be evil days and the pleasures and vigour will all fade away. When people grow older, more commitments and responsibilities challenge their total devotion to God, but when they grow much olde

Dear Stalker, I woke up to see a missed call from you. How things have changed! Just three (3) years ago, you were indeed a stalker. Your calls gave me reasons to fear. Your calls made me confused about what next to do. Your calls were a threat to my walk with God - a threat to the higher calling I had received. How things have changed! Eight (8) years ago I met you and it seemed hell had broken loose. You brought with you every temptation to sin. You dared every expression of purity and chastity. You came with an aura of lust. Unlike the woman who fell at the feet of Jesus with her box of alabaster, all you had were bowls of filth and sin. How things have changed! Years later, you are different - washed clean by the blood of the Lamb. Jesus changed you. You're no longer the one who tempts me to sin. You're now the one who beckons on me to keep walking with Christ. You're no longer a partner in sin. You're now a brother in Christ. Hey stalker, I'm more than

(Photo Credit: Shepherd Thoughts ) There’s no doubting the fact that technology has made considerable impact in the 21st century in a way no phenomenon has, changing virtually everything we do and how we do them. With these breathtaking strides by way of technological advancements, however, comes corresponding toxic behavioural traits introduced to the doorsteps of our reality. Picture disinterested teens, sitting in the way back of the congregation, tap tap tapping away on their phones and giggling back and forth with their friends. Picture a middle-aged young woman, laser-focused on her brightly lit iPad while the choir sings away. This scenario is all too real. Some weeks ago, I was rather unfortunate to sit behind a young lady whose aim of coming to church that dear Sunday morning was to find a comfy but crowded place to play Candy Crush (yes, you read that right: Candy Crush!). A number of campaigns have been launched to curb excessive use of smart phones that are disrup

Aaron Earls, a rather humorous writer on “The Wardrobe Door” has these 10 commandments to share when it comes to using iPads in church, and if you feel he has missed some rules,  you can always reach out to him to share your thoughts. 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR USING YOUR IPAD IN CHURCH 10. Thou shalt have the Bible app installed. Seriously, it’s got over one million downloads. I don’t think it is possible to love Jesus and not have YouVersion on your smart phone or tablet. (Note from me: Yes, you should...and preferably get an offline Bible app so you don't get sidetracked when your data connection is on and notifications from Twitter and Facebook pop up) 9. Thou shalt look up occasionally just to let the pastor know you’re listening. If your eyes are down during the whole sermon, you’re either asleep or checking your Instagram feed. C’mon, don’t lie. You were double tapping that cute baby photo. (Note from me: Too bad a preacher spent a whole lot of his hours prayi
