Be intentional. That’s it. It sounds corny and cheesy, and even merely motivational at first. But it is the truth. Dreaming is not enough on its own. Hoping or wishing for it to happen on its own is in many cases an exercise in futility. You need to act with intention and with purpose. You … More Want to achieve your dreams?
It may seem confusing; overwhelming and impossible. You may find yourself struggling for peace and for a mainatained authentic connection to God and His will for your life. You may find yourself waking up in the dead of night with your mind on overdrive; trying to work out solutions and a path for your future. And all of this quite frankly may be driving you insane. … More Life Choices: Simplify your process
John 3:36 says the following; “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” in the King James Version. Verse 16 of the same chapter says “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” In both, the simple message we often mess up with additions and conditions is this: for your salvation, all you ever need to do is believe. … More Be sure you are saved (2) – Only Believe
Have you ever felt worthless? Like a failure in life and that you do not deserve to have great friends, an amazing job and a loyal and loving spouse? Often, we have a justifiable reason to feel this way. It could be an addiction you are failing to break or a bad relationship you keep going back to that screams at you that this is who you are-a broken, helpless failure who will never rise…. … More Your way out of shame; Part 1
What if the DNA conversation is actually revealing something deeper about fatherhood in our generation?
What if part of the reason we are seeing such a strong hunger to establish biological fatherhood is that we are living in a generation that has, in many ways, experienced less and less of the fullness of what fatherhood was supposed to be?
What if we have forgotten what a father feels like? … More Is fatherhood just about DNA – Part 2
DNA testing has become increasingly visible in our society, particularly through social media and public platforms where men discover that children they have raised are not biologically theirs.
And increasingly, we hear the phrase:
“Ndaita pakwana.”
“I have done enough.”
“I raised you for 15 years. But now I know you are not mine, chichengetwa nababa vako chaivo”
I understand where that response comes from.
I understand the shock.
I understand the betrayal.
I understand the anger of discovering that the child you believed was biologically yours was conceived outside the relationship.
And I believe we should be honest about adultery. Marriage is sacred. Deception is not something we should normalise or excuse.
Hebrews 13:4 says:
“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”
And Galatians 6:7 says:
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
There are consequences to violating the covenant of marriage.
But there is another question I think we are not asking loudly enough.
What happens to the child?
And perhaps an even deeper question:
What exactly is a father? … More Is Fatherhood Just about DNA?
The heart of God towards me is the heart of a Father, and the ability he has at hand to bring about his will and desire into my life is the ability of God- almighty, creator of heaven, earth, and all that is therein.

You are a victor or a victim long before the battle begins; a success or a failure long before there is a single battle line drawn because of who you are in your mind, and what you see – i.e., your internal identity. Despite the presence of a “rhema” word from God, the best assurrance of victory one could ever hope for-the Israelites wondered about in the desert for 40 whole years because in their internal identity, “they were like grasshoppers before the enemies forces,” (Numbers 13), and directly disobeyed God who told them to go on.

A soldier who has the best guns and tanks in the world, but is often in an open field without his bulletproof vest, will be wounded to the death by a mere arrow. We are called overcomers because he first overcame. And in Ephesians 6, we are told to wear the whole armour of God. Wearing it in part will leave us exposed. It works together, and any missing part will render us ineffective on the battlefield. … More #No_such_thing_as_gray

What is faith? Is it a feeling? Is it a state of mind? Or is it some intangible, other-dimension reality that we will really not be able to find words for? … More Faith
As we reflect on the past year and look forward to this one, I hope we can identify moments and periods in time where we can really see when the hand of God moved in our lives and made a difference….
There is wisdom in having a vision and planning for the future. And if we look at our heroes of the faith, they all had a concrete idea of who they were living for and what they wanted to achieve….

In the desert, the children of Israel neither sowed nor reaped. Nor would it have made sense for them to do so, or pray for success is such.

one day at a time, and at times, it was really frustrating to not be able to line all my ducks in a row. It was disappointing, to wake up one day and find hundreds of fish floating dead in my fish pond-killed by the very water that enables them to live.

It is a shame that for many believers, death is bigger saviour than Jesus Christ. Only after death, will there be rest, or peace, or health, or anything good. Only after the last breath will their minds be at ease from torment, worry and depression. And yet, this false humility in life could not be further from where the truth of Jesus Christ and salvation is. … More Be sure you are saved (4) Salvation is now
Of Jesus however, it says in the book of Hebrews that He died as an offering for sin once, and for all. When He was crucified for the sin of the world, it was for all of them; past, present and future. It was not just for those sins committed up until His death. hence in our lives also, when we receive what He has done, the slate of sin is wiped clean, and in its place He writes “Child of the Most High God!” That is now who you are when you receive Him. A child of God. A forgiven, favoured and loved child of God. … More Be Sure you are saved (3) The Perfect Sacrifice
There are so many people living in fear today. Some are in fear of the virus, some are in fear of the vaccine to the virus-deeming it the marker of the antichrist. I will not pretend to know how the end-times will pan out.
Way too many people more gifted than I am, more learned than I am and more mature than I am have been wrong before, and many more will be in this season. One thing I do know however, is there is an assurance of salvation in Christ that is not often spoken of. An assurance that precludes the fear of either the virus or the vaccine. … More Be sure you are saved (1)
Nevertheless, I have hope. My God is alive-He is not panicking because of either the economy, Covid19 or my chickens which of late had perfected the art of waking up dead.
