I have penned my encounter with the Prophet, TB Joshua, a controversial servant of God who has been called all manner of names like the “Witch of Endor”. Some of the controversy surrounding the Prophet is based on one claim that he “got born again from his mother’s womb”. We know a lot of preachers have made oversights, some say things the wrong way but meaning something else.

In my appraisal and by what I understand from the scriptures, the said claim shouldn’t have been the only basis of judging the Prophet. There is such a thing as giving people…

The earth has never been without stalwart and highly influential men. Some men didn’t only influence and shake their communities, they shook the entire world and became famous even in places that they have never been to. We turn our TVs to watch these powerful men, we go to the book stores to get their books, we go to meetings to listen to them. Some people travel several countries away just to listen to a man, not to have him touch them, not to have a conversation with him but to sit in the ambience of their vocal expressions.

Our present generation thinks that “liberation” means carelessness. So, you see people who “kiss and tell” in the name of liberation. This is a generation that has become so shameless, a costly approach to life that is shaking the very fabrics of our existence. Decorum is frowned upon and carefulness has become a synonym for “holier-than-thou”. This is a generation where “keeping it real” means becoming shameless.

We live in a world where people think that keeping it real means washing your dirty linen in the public. You reveal things that are meant to be private, they cheer you, you…

Some crops of believers teach that sin no longer exist since Jesus destroyed sin on the cross by paying the ultimate price. Some people teach that what we call sin these days are simply wrongdoing as there is no sin the world anymore.

I think the problem is usually semantics. People try to choose the word that resonates better with their doctrine. But we need to talk about it, is sin dead? Does sin still exist? Is it wrong to say that stealing, cheating, rape and other crimes are sin? Or do we just say they are wrongdoing?

So, I sat down listening to the lecture of this woman who had served in the banking sector for as much as 15 years, she served in a very high capacity as a bank manager of a major branch before she finally resigned. According to her, she resigned because she signed up for a multi-level marketing opportunity, managed it alongside her job for your years and decided it was time to focus on it entirely. Guess what? It came to a point where she said: “I decided to sack my boss and become my boss.” It thrilled the crowd.

I have come across a lot of debates going among certain Christians and even the so-called “Reformers” as to what the name of God’s only begotten son is. Is His name Jesus, Yeshua, Isa or just another name? I wouldn’t want to delve into very deep Greek, Aramaic or Hebrew analysis and I also wouldn’t want to delve into any deep theological discourse because I can’t claim to be an authority in those aspects. However, common sense will help a lot here. What is His name?

In the Old Testament, when the Prophecy of His birth came, the Bible says…

Again and again, I habitually sit back to ponder on certain things, I try to look from varying perspectives to gain better insight and know better. I was reflecting on that word “love” again and a Bible verse stroke a chord in my heart. It made the distinction! I’d like the words of Jesus to re-echo in our hearts; He said

“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” …

It would seem absurd to say that breakup is beautiful and at its most critical state; a gift when you still loved him or her but watched them go away or when you just couldn’t help it but walk away. Although the instant feeling we get from it is awful, when we think of it in another way, we would be glad to discern that many times, a breakup isn’t a terrible thing, it isn’t even disgusting! It would be the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to us.

It is okay to cry over breakups, it is okay…
