There is always a truth in every truth. We could say there is a ‘truer truth’, if there was such a thing! What I aim to say is, there is always a truth which upholds the authenticity of another truth, or one that allows the other to be effective. We commonly find in deception, there is usually a lie concealing another lie. The beauty of truth is a truth does not exist by itself, but there is a guiding or shall I say a ‘root-truth’ informing the former. There is no better start to explaining this than looking at the word of God; I mean the logos (written word); the Bible. Often, we see repetit ..read more

We live in an interesting time, where our world is at the benevolence of advanced technology. News travel quicker than it did in past centuries and so are our fingers; quick on keyboards and keypads. This progress has presented us the opportunity to throw out our words quicker than they are sometimes processed in our heads. Messages have been exchanged in the heat of the moment to be regretted later. The days are gone when we were presented with the opportunities of rethinking or rewriting letters. These are the days of the ‘espresso’,- all things quick and easy – fast track this, fast t ..read more

The dissatisfaction , the emptiness and constant grappling for fulfilment and satisfaction in man was not so from the beginning. The story started with an happily ever after intended. it was a story which was to go thus: ‘Once upon a time there was a man created by God who was put in the most beautiful, esoteric and flourishing garden. The man and his wife enjoyed the fruitfulness and beauty of the garden. Often and always they enjoyed the company of God almighty, and they lived happily ever after, lacking nothing. The end.’ Unfortunately, the story did not end in that manner. Curiosity got th ..read more

Our requests and prayers must be bigger than us and beyond our own abilities to solve. For this reason, we are able to fall on our knees before God, again and again. As simple and beautiful as this logic of prayer sounds, it could also become a two-edged sword. One, the magnitude of our request may compel us to fall before God, quickly and repeatedly. On the other hand, it could be a way of excusing our requests as being quite unreasonable, leading us to turn our backs on our prayers, as if we were ashamed of asking for too much, in the first place! At the onset of our prayer, we are either ..read more

At the close of December 2019, the news of a new virus rampaging China was just news of a distant land to so many of us. It was not a reality for us. Boom! It began to spread like fire. Now it has touched the majority of the world and we are all troubled. We are all at attention, our heads are lifted and ready to listen. Fear is the accompanying ‘friend’ of Covid 19. ‘WASH YOUR HANDS’ signs are posted in strategic locations. Disposable gloves are being stolen from filling stations. Panic food buying has left the store shelves empty. Anyone who sneezes or coughs on public transport gets the ..read more

I do not want what isn’t yours- All I want is all you have. Nothing is mine after all! What you don’t give, I do not want. Be there a lust in my heart for  what you do not approve, Or something hidden within my  clasp, Upon which your eyes would not behold? My soul cries out to you my God; Take it all away from me! -Esther Yemmy ..read more

Written by: Esther Yemmy A LIFE OF SERVICE A Christian’s life is a life of service. We are all servants of God. To be called a servant of God is not restricted to the Pastors, Reverends or Apostles. Every single believer is called into a life of service to God and to men.  At the start of the new birth; our salvation, we are preoccupied with the love of God. We are, be it as it were, in awe of the wonder of God’s love and find it too good to be true. Out of our love, and awe of God comes the desire to serve God in any capacity, si ..read more

They cried for release; He gave them an escape. They sought a home; He gave them a nation. They thirst for water; He gave them a river. They hungered for bread; He gave them manna.   Unsatisfied, unsated, They longed and cried for the old. Where is the garlic? Where is the leek? Where are the melon, cucumber, and fish? Where is the pot of flesh? They mourned for the old. In a twinkle, in an instance, the field was full of flesh. They feasted and gobbled on quails aplenty, Till the meat came out of their nostrils.   Surely ..read more

BY: ESTHER YEMMY We live in a world where success and relevance are measured by the result. A common saying is, “the end justifies the means”. Although the world believes this, it must not be so with a Christian. A Christian knows there is only one way to success, and it is God’s way. It may not be popular with the world, as long as it is the way of God then it is the path of success. RESULT VS. APPROVAL In the book of Jeremiah chapter 44, Jeremiah set out to give God’s message to the children of Israel who were living in Egypt.  In his message, God was almost pacifying and explaining h ..read more

Eyes full of wisdom danced in the shadowy  Lights, I saw her eyes through the dim lights, Hints of secrets flicked in the pupils. My curiosity grew, so grew my neck. A Squint not needed, she came into view. She is one of whom much has been spoken.  I’ve heard the tales, Now I need not stories.     She bore herself with class,  A presence not condescending,  Oozing pure confidence. Identity crisis is far from this one, I can see it clearly words won’t do justice.   Her head is held up, No pride contained. Her steps are sure, N ..read more
