A space for you and me…
I share in this space as God lays it on my heart. But think outside of the box with me–if you’re looking for essays and think pieces head over to the Articles category. Short stories? Head to the Short Stories category. If it’s specifically about my walk with JESUS, you want to make your bed in My Jesus Diary. Poems, Prayers, any way you turn, you’re sure to meet the TRUTH. ✨

“With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”Psalms 91:16 This past week, I encountered a fear I’d never encountered before. The fear of death. It was the strangest thing. As I processed my thoughts on why I felt the way that I did, it became apparent. Never, have I ever, gotten…
Oh, David, how could you?
Nothing hurts than a friend who won’t listen; a friend who turns his back on another Friend. The David-Bathsheba story is really… intriguing. A little back story from 2 Samuel 11 is this – David, at a time of war in Israel, stays behind in his palace. His gaze happens to fall on Bathsheba who…
Let God in.
God is so misunderstood but is anyone really trying to understand? I’ve heard people accuse God over and over again of being a dictator and a patronizer of evil. That if he’s so powerful; why are bad things happening in the world? Sigh. It appears this question will never get old. It is a question…
World people.
I’ll need to drink anointing oil after I leave this place. I am at a friend’s get together for his birthday and it is far from a Christian hangout. In fact, world people are the ones here. The last time I was in a gathering like this, I cannot remember. I feel the usual response…
Dream big.
Some days you get up and go. Other days you get up and sit. This month started with much fervour. Much. Confirmations. Ideas. Wisdom. Fire. [tweet] –If God has said it, why do I feel so tired?– [/tweet] I have only begun to do the things God has placed in my hands. To grow them.…
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. But that changed recently after I read somewhere: [tweet]” ‘Plenty’ does not equal prosperity, just as ‘want’ does not equal poverty. “[/tweet] And…
All my struggles of working from home.
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…
A prayer for love ❤
“Love covers a multitude of sins…”(1 Peter 4:8) Abba, help me return this profound love you have shown me. You have been consistent with your love and right from when you lost man, you made up your mind to get Him back. You have never looked back since then. You have toasted me right from…
It’s my birthday!
It’s my birthday today. 28/02/2022. Now that I think about it, I really found Love in the love month.On this day, last year, Yeshua carried me out of the Pit: I was weak and helpless.Now all I do is what He wants. It’s been beyond beautiful since then. He keeps giving me: the bond of…
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…
