A space for you and me…

    I shall not want…

    “You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.”(Psalms 23:5) What does it really mean to overflow? All the times I have read this verse, I have linked it to material prosperity.

    Ogonna, please boil rice before your sister comes back from school. These are the kinds of messages I get when I am trying to focus on work like ‘mummy can you not?’ I get up and do it anyways, unless I want my ears to fall off from talks of how I will disgrace myself…

  • Don’t let the pain change you. Please.

    Don’t let the pain change you. Please.

    For a second, I cannot hear anything. Maybe pain deafens too. There are different forms of pain, but I believe the highest of them all is death. Because it steals hope and contradicts everything that life stands for. When I lost my brother a few years back, it was an entanglement with not just bad…

Just agree with me and it is yours by faith! “Dear Lord, today I pray for…

    Fasting Day 11 – The last day.

    I bring you good tidings from the Most High. I’ve had the most stressful past three days and enough reasons to send me into the stress ER. I like to think I’m getting better at holding my own. The most beautiful thing happens this afternoon, when a close friend of mine refers me to a…
