Walk With Me #Deararn.

THE SEED MUST DIE Jesus was aware of His time. He knew the agenda, and though the path was hard and full of sorrow, He stuck to the plan. Do you have an idea of the reason for your being? What scene are you playing in the script? Jesus knew He would have to die so that man could live; what do you have to die to so life can come? Jesus knew that for a bountiful harvest to come, the lone seed must b...

Once Upon An Easter I have lived many Easter seasons. My early years in the choir and lay readers society, and my adult years as an intercessor and counsellor. The years as a member of the choir and lay readers were all about singing Easter songs and reading about the passion of Christ. Wait! As I write this, the word passion jumps at me. The thought of someone feeling so passionately about me to...

The Servant Lord. Dinner was set, and all made ready, time to eat, and the master requested a towel a washbasin. Naturally, hearts were curious. What again, they must have wondered. Their master's leadership; the style, characterised by twists and turns, surprises, and awe-inspiring moves. They became much better persons just hanging around him. Their ignorant life made full of clout and wisdom an...

The Colour Trouble…Seeing through Mary’s Eyes MARY AND THE JOURNEY TO THE CROSS Mary, young, impressionable with a promising future An angelic visit, encounter changed the story, an announcement of favour and selection for once in a lifetime assignment of bringing forth the savior of the world. Frightened but willing. She faces ridicule and shame and loneliness and heartache, controversy all atten...

MOTHERS AND THE CROSS—Leave Her alone Six days before the Passover celebration began, Jesus arrived in Bethany, the home of Lazarus—the man he had raised from the dead. A dinner was prepared in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those who ate with him. Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet with it, wiping his...

God would have you know that your fast must be more than you currently make of it. Seek GOD with all your heart, no pretences. Clean up your spiritual and physical appearance. I do not care for facades and please don’t throw up your good deeds like they are some trump card. Fasting is not your license to continue in your ways. Don’t exploit your workers, do right by others, loose the yokes of the...

Do you know that walking in the footsteps of Jesus requires that you pray and sometimes fast. Jesus prayed, sometimes short and other times long into the night. He said ‘when you pray’, not if you pray. Prayer is the bridge that connects you to God. It is your heart knitting with your makers. It is child drawing close to father. It is the means by which heaven kisses the earth Pray so that you wil...

LESSONS ON THE WAY My dear friend, When you love and serve another, you are actually doing yourself a favour When you are kind to strangers, you may be playing host to angels who may have been sent to minister to you. Appreciate your leaders; copy their Godly natures and secure your seat in the theatre of wisdom. Live so others may see Jesus in you, take your good deeds beyond your church . Never...

IT WILL END IN PRAISE TO GOD His birth was supernaturally announced, so was his cousins. His mission on earth was just to herald the coming of his cousin the Christ. From the stories his mother told him, they were six months apart. In fact, at some point when his mother was pregnant with him, his aunt Mary had to come to take refuge in their house. He did his best to stay faithful to his calling....

My child, Many call me their Father, but I do not know them. Some run errands in my name, and I did not send them. Some swear by my authority, and they were never mine. Many are wondering why I just let them be, tell me if I destroy them how many will remain. I am sure you will not like it if infidels say all I do is destroy because that will not be true. All I am about is the redemption of man ba...

CHOOSE LOVE, CHOOSE LIFE My dear friend, as you step out today, go about your daily duties. Life will present you ideologies and will demand that you choose between different Gods. Essentially demanding you to bow. The God, ideology you choose will reveal where your devotion lies. It will determine your choices, inform your actions, and your actions will either move you, your family, society, nati...

HOLD ON, HELP IS ON THE WAY Have you ever been stuck with no hope in sight? Ever wondered if God heard you cry? Have you wished that God would say something, good or bad and heard nothing? Hagar felt the helplessness of her son dying because there was no water in sight. The disciples saw the possibility of drowning at sea as the storm was raging. Mary and Martha watched helplessly as the cold hand...

BY THIS TIME TOMORROW The situation was dire, the nation was in trouble. Food was scarce and peace was rare. Women suffered as children became food. That was Israel’s situation at a point in time. A woman went to the king and he acknowledged his helplessness, humbled himself and God was moved. Go tell, ‘by this time tomorrow…’ was the message of deliverance. Guess who doubted, the one who should k...

“I Was Once Blind, Now, I Can See. The man was born blind, not because he or his ancestors sinned but just so God’s power could be revealed. There is a possibility that what you are going through is just a prop, a tool in the masters hand. God may be bragging on you. Remember you are His masterpiece, the master craftsman may just be putting you on display. It took this long because, the wonder was...

The woman at the Well Belonged to the forbidden race, with the oddest story. No wonder she came when she would be alone. Her pain ran deep. Thirsty and lonely, married five husbands, none filled the void she felt. Now on the sixth man, no need to marry, too much hassle. She looked for in man, what was only possible in God. The day came and THE man was waiting. Her pain spoke for her, like the porc...

PRAISE HIM IN THE DANCE They had seen enough to know that God was on their side. They got paid in arrears for all those years of slaving for the Egyptians. They heard stories of how they got to Egypt in the first place. Only the hand of God could have made it possible. And since the whole story of leaving Egypt for the Promised Land began, they had seen enough wonders to believe without any shadow...

Dance! Dance!! Dance!!! And David danced before the LORD with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. But as the Ark of the LORD entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she was filled with contempt for him. 2 Samuel 6:14, 16 NLT You had to notice him every time he was in church. He sat in...

Praise Him! Praise Him in the dance! Who invented dance? How did it come to be associated with gladness? When was the last time you danced? Has life robbed you of this beautiful gift? Can you move your legs? Can you wave your hands? Can you move your body? Do you hear a sound, can you hear the sound of heaven? Did you notice the leaves swaying to heaven’s music? My beloved, if your answer to any o...

WAIT, BELOVED, WAIT Have you ever been in a situation where you need to hear an instruction, a command, an encouragement etc., and you hear nothing? The deadline is at hand, and nothing has shifted. What do you do? Ever been in a storm that you were desperately in need of the Masters’ touch and He was sleeping? Ever been told to wait when all you have done for the past donkey years was wait? What...

THE LIFE OF AN UNDERDOG His conception was in sin. No wonder he was almost never in the same space with his brothers. How do you let the bastard hang around the legitimate children? Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. (Psalms 51:5) The day the prophet came, his father forgot he had a son named David. Who sent him to shepherd the flock? Did the father also for...

KINGDOM MATTERS He set up shop for the day. Business was booming and he had no reason to complain. Thanks to the new prophet in town. Such a popular guy and very well-liked, at least by the regular people. What did the merchant care, as long as he could sell his wares? He did not have to go into the temple. Just stayed outside and sold his goods. He had grown over the years, from selling doves and...

What to do with Wounded Soldier What do we do with our wounded soldiers? What should we do with the wounded? The Bible recommends that we restore them in gentleness. Be kind and take care; you can trip up. When one of us is injured or derailed, it should not be for us an occasion to boast or berate. Most times, the person in the wrong already knows they are wrong. They are already beating themselv...

CLEAN HOUSE Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16) Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Psalms 32:5) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just...

Will Your ‘But’ Hinder You? He had it all - power, position, influence. He was at the peak of his career, and everyone respected him. By him, victories were wrought for his country. The king owed him a lot. He had soldiers under him, but he was a leper. Pray, when did he become one? Before or after he rose in his career? How did he pull it off? Did he have to retire after becoming leprous? Aren't...

What Is Your Story? What is your story? How is your life? The woman, let us call her Jane, had such a journey. In today's parlance, we will say she had been unlucky with men. She married five of them, and none of them filled the void she felt on the inside. Each one looked like it, but as soon as she got in, she realised that she had made another mistake. She had to endure many snide remarks. No o...
