How Grounded Are You?

The deeper you advance towards the seas the rougher and tougher the tides become. For you to maneuver this rough waters you need a vessel that is well stable, strong and deep enough to be able to break forth this high tides.

Same thing to salvation. Before setting out into the deep are you sure that you have worked very well on your relationship with God? Have you taught your heart, soul and spirit to totally be dependent on God alone? Will you trust Him enough to be the captain of your life? Trusting that He will do a good job with you? And that regardless of what happens you will still praise Him?

You see He never promised that it wouldn't be tough but He promised you his grace to always see you though those rough times.

Will you continue staying at the shores where you think is safe or will you set off into the deep and totally depend on GOD?

Make Room: God Desires Your Undivided Attention

Last Sunday, the Lord woke me up at 4am. After spending some quiet time with Him, I stepped out of bed at exactly 5:30 am. Being a Sunday, there’s usually a lot on my plate. Then suddenly, I remembered that there was supposed to be a video shoot in my house that day—something that had completely slipped my mind. As I prepared my cup of coffee, the Holy Spirit nudged me to pick up my Bible and spend more time with Him. I could sense the Lord was longing for my undivided attention. So, I opened my Bible and asked the Holy Spirit what He desired to teach me. He led me to Joshua 5. I began reading quietly, but soon felt prompted to read aloud. This chapter speaks of Joshua circumcising an entire new generation of Israel with flint knives. I paused and asked, “Lord, weren’t the male children supposed to be circumcised on the eighth day?” The Holy Spirit delights when we ask Him questions. It became a moment of fellowship between us. He then led me to Numbers 9, particularly verses 15–23, an...

The Struggle of Separation

When God begins to separate us, it rarely feels easy. In fact, the first stages of isolation often feel confusing, lonely, and even painful. I remember when I first stepped out of the familiar into the unfamiliar, I couldn’t fully understand what God was doing. For years, I struggled to settle. Life felt as though it had slowed to a crawl. Many times, I prayed: “Lord, is this really Your will? Or did I move by my own doing? If I am outside Your will, forgive me and realign me with Your purpose.” That prayer became the cry of my heart in the wilderness season. The Silence of God One of the hardest struggles in separation is that God sometimes seems silent. We pray and wonder if He hears us. We search for direction but don’t receive immediate answers. It feels like being hidden, unseen, and even forgotten. But silence doesn’t mean absence. In reality, God is working beneath the surface, reshaping our desires, humbling our hearts, and preparing us for what lies ahead. The Loneliness of Is...

An open letter to my " Family & Friends"

Dear family and friends, With over 500 contacts and double that on my phone book I woke up to an experiment wanting to see how many of my so called “close friends, allies, and close family members” would reach out and probably save me from the self-destruction path I had intentionally taken upon myself. I posted depressing status as a way of crying out for help and seeking attention. But unfortunately, none of those that I had anticipated would be the first to reach out did. Not a word until this very moment. Not to say that they did not see my depressing status but some actually downloaded the same status and posted as their own status posts. You see many are the times that I have scrolled through my phone wondering whom to chat up with or talk to because I feel so lonely or because I need someone I can trust to just listen or because at times I am just in need of some sought of reassurance and found none. This is to say that if I was on a path of self-destruction...
