REFLECTIONS

Wide awake, not that I can’t sleep, but it won’t be that comfortable on office chairs Wide awake listening to jazz; Kenny G’s classic collection, mood soothing, quiet reflections Settling the mind down to think and recount on so many things: Life, experience, expectations, and challenges, bad habits, etc. I cannot help it but be thankful; it’s been quite a journey 26years in the making and still a work in progress, people still call that young, but time flies And that’s the part that scares me somewhat, that time is fleeting and age creeps up slowly Anyways, I’m looking forward and ahead to New Year, thank God for now I pray His grace to keep me till tomorrow, like a great man once said “it’s been a long walk…” Indeed it has really been, and I cannot begin to recount my chronicles in the small piece A recap might just put things into perspective; my family’s great, my job a blessing and still a lot of better days ahead, my life; still got much t

GOD, LOVE, AND RELATIONSHIPS

I’m no expert in relationships, but the ideas most people have about it are most of the time very baffling, especially when it comes to the aspect of love. Now I’m not taking a general stand or view of it, my perspective is from the Christian view. Yes I mean Christian relationships! As a man, I want a God-fearing lady who is virtuous, intelligent (able to spark a conversation with on politics, ICT or general issues). The same may go for a Lady (add financial security to the list) who’s waiting for her prince charming to come. Though some profess to be Christians, yet a lot of time their lives and relationships reflect a purely human ideology and understanding of love. How can we say we understand love and leave God out of its definition? God is love, and He expressed it to us by sending His Son Jesus Christ to bear all our sins so that His perfection will be placed on our account through His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. Instead of accepting God's definition of l

SOCIAL SITES, SOCIALIZING, AND SCAMS

The introduction of social sites has really defined the term socializing and networking. During my younger days it was about going to parties, or visiting a friend or colleagues of your parents and that’s how you network and make friends and the most common way was the educational institution. It was cool then, because you actually met people, spending time outdoors. Now with the introduction of Facebook; let’s go back a bit as far as I can remember Hi5. Back in the school days it was a Hi5 rave but yet we still took socializing outside. At the introduction of Facebook Gbam! Outdoor networking went extinct. We all subscribed to it though (don’t be ashamed), yes it was a faster way to connect with friends but at some point it evolved to meeting random people from almost all corners of the world and works of life and the ultimate question is ARE WE FRIENDS? I mean do I actually want to be your friend. In my opinion the social network is a cool way of getting information, prying, and s

WhyAreYouLookingForReasons?

Do not commit adultery, do not lust after flesh Do not steal, do not kill Do not covet your neighbor's property, obey your parents You have to be born again to enter the Kingdom of God Be far from iniquity, seek wisdom Lean not on your own understanding, pray for your enemies Forgive your enemies, thank God always Surrender to Him, harden not your heart You have broken all the commandments; you have neglected the teaching and instruction of God Yet you still looking or wanting an explanation, haven’t you seen the result of your actions Are you blind to the actions of your disobedience? You have been running for far too long, searching in vain for revelations you can’t yet receive Looking for a rationale to prove you don’t need Him So far so good this is where you at; you’re lost, depressed, confused, alone and lonely, heart broken Jesus Christ said abide in me and have everlasting life, accept Me and be saved He said ask anything and He will do it

IN THE LIGHT OF EASTER

In the light of easter, I was moved to share this with you all. As much as we celebrate and have fun, it is all so important to meditate on the spiritual revelations and teachings of this historic event which happened over 2000 years ago. It is paramount we tap into the power of Christ's resurrection. Lately, I decided to re-dedicate myself to grow spiritually in the things of God. I have been going on and off, back and forth for a long time now. And really that's what the devil wants, the devil wants to steal your blessings,destroy your soul,and kill you. For a long time I have given into the distractions of the devil, but its time I exercise my right of authority. I am a son of God and my Bible tells me to resist the devil and he will flee, It also tells me to put on the whole armour of  God for we wrestle not against flesh but against principalities and powers in high places. In order to avoid distractions and teaching of wrong doctrines there are somethings you shoul

REMEMBER THE LOST ONES: ODE TO MY LEGEND

It seems just like yesterday you were smiling with us then, the next day you left us You left without even saying goodbye,nor did you leave any of yourself behind except for memories What else would we have expected,when death robbed you away from us What more can we do than crying all night,asking God the reason for your departure To us your hearts were our treasures,the only place we feel loved But now,that feeling is numb,our happiness is gone,our hearts are sad May be you should've stayed a little bit longer,till we got stronger to bear your loss Still with remorse and pain in our hearts,we acknowledge the examples you left behind,the principles you laid down,the land marks of achievements,the encouraging speeches of greatness;may we never forget your leadership With sorrow in our hearts, we announce the passing on of, our beloved ones,the departure of a daring warrior,a hero till death,the one who died fighting the good fight, a saint in the world of sinners, a martyr, the d
