How to Reflect and Move Forward Stronger | Series: How to Trust God in Seasons of Waiting (Day 5)
This week, we have been discovering, or we were reminded of some truths about the waiting season: Waiting is not punishment—it is preparation, and what we do during that season makes all the difference. We have also learnt, or it was emphasised, that God is not ignoring us; He is working in us. Today, we come to another powerful moment: the realisation that we cannot stay stagnant as we wait, because life will leave us behind. We have to be about moving forward. Because every

How to Trust God’s Leading | Series: How to Trust God in Seasons of Waiting (Day 4)
One of the biggest tensions in a waiting season is this: You want to move forward, but you’re not always sure how. So you plan. You think. You map things out. And that’s not wrong. But here’s where we need clarity. And for this, we go to the Bible. Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) says: “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” This Scripture shows us something powerful: There is a difference between making plans and being led by God. So: Planning is what we do.

How to Respond Biblically to Challenges | Series: How to Trust God in Seasons of Waiting (Day 3)
Is there any among us who can truly say that they have never had to deal with any sort of challenge in their entire life? I think not. Why? Because challenges, like it or not, are not optional in life. They will come—unexpected, uncomfortable, and sometimes overwhelming. But as believers, the question is not, “Will I face challenges?” The question is, “How will I respond when they come?” Because our response will determine whether we grow or get stuck. Romans 8:28 (KJV) says:

How to Stay Spiritually Consistent | Series: How to Trust God in Seasons of Waiting (Day 2)
One of the biggest struggles in a waiting season is not just trusting God once—it’s staying consistent in that trust. Because some days, you feel strong. You’re praying, you’re focused, you’re encouraged. And on other days… you feel tired. Distracted. Even a little disconnected. And the truth is, inconsistency is where many people lose momentum. But here’s what we need to understand: God is not asking for perfection. He is asking for consistency. Galatians 6:9 (KJV) encourage

How to Apply God’s Truth Practically | Series: How to Trust God in Seasons of Waiting (Day 1)
Waiting is one of the hardest things to do, and the waiting room is one of the toughest places to be. Because you’re not where you used to be… but you’re not yet where you believe God is taking you. And in that in-between space, questions start rising: “Am I in the right place? Am I doing the right thing? Did I hear God correctly? Why is this taking so long? Should I be doing something to help this process along?” But here is what we must understand: waiting is not wasted whe

Series Title | Wounded but Still Worshipping: God’s Healing Journey | Day 5 – Healing While Still Worshipping: God Restores the Wounded
As we come to the final day of this journey, I invite us to pause for a moment and acknowledge something honestly. Many of us have been wounded. Not just in life, but within spaces where we expected safety, love, and spiritual growth. And those wounds are real. We are not pretending they did not happen. We are not minimising them. And we are not rushing past them. But we are also making a decision: those wounds will not define us, and they will not stop our worship. Because h

Series Title | Wounded but Still Worshipping: God’s Healing Journey | Day 4 – Guarding Your Faith So You Don’t Grow Weary
We continue this journey of “Wounded but Still Worshipping: God’s Healing Journey,” and today we shift our focus in a very important direction. Guarding Your Faith So You Don’t Grow Weary. Because wounds do not only have the potential to weaken us, they also have the potential to mature us. And I love that. Because here, it is never going to be all bashing and rehashing the negative. Our aim is to be better, do better, and to grow in Christ. It is important for us to understa

Series Title | Wounded but Still Worshipping: God’s Healing Journey Day 3 – Discernment: When Some Pretend to Be Holy but Sow Discord
Today, we are talking about something the Bible speaks about very clearly but that believers sometimes hesitate to address: discernment. Because sometimes the wounds we experience in the Body of Christ do not come from obvious enemies. Sometimes they come from people who appear spiritual, who speak the language of faith, who know how to move in Christian spaces, but whose actions bring division, confusion, and harm. Jesus warned us about this directly. In Matthew 7:15 (KJV) H

Series Title | Wounded but Still Worshipping: God’s Healing Journey | Day 2 – When Spiritual Harm Appears in the House of God
Yesterday, we began by acknowledging something that many believers experience but often struggle to talk about: Sometimes the wounds we carry come from our own people—other believers, fellow Christians, those within the household of faith. Today, we go a little deeper. Because sometimes the issue is not only that harm happens among believers, but it is that some people causing the harm do not even realise they are doing it. Let me repeat that: There are Christians who genuine

Series Title | Wounded but Still Worshipping: God’s Healing Journey | Day 1 – When God’s People Hurt Each Other: The Biblical Reality
One of the reasons many believers struggle to grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with God is that we sometimes remain stuck in places we were never meant to stay. We stay in hurt. We stay discouraged. We stay disappointed by things people have done or said. And instead of allowing those experiences to mature us spiritually, we allow them to make us stagnant. Sometimes we even become a little nonchalant about our spiritual growth. We tell ourselves we are fine

Day 5: How to Train Your Spiritual Senses Daily
In the book of Hebrews 5:14 (KJV), we read: “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” By reason of use. That means repetition. Practice. Intentional growth. And as we are talking about discernment, we must understand that discernment is not automatic; it is trained. We do not wake up spiritually sharp. We become spiritually sharp. Just like physical muscles grow with res

Day 4 | 5 Signs Your Discernment Is Under Attack
One of the most dangerous things the enemy can do is not attack our bodies, our finances, or our relationships, but attack our discernment. Because if the enemy can distort what we perceive, what we think is right but is actually wrong, then he can influence what we choose. Second Corinthians 11:14 (KJV) says, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” Satan is not transformed into something more obvious, like a demon with horns or something els

Day 3 | Not Every Open Door Is From God
Again, this topic is deeply personal to me. Today, we are talking about open doors. And as Christians, we love open doors, don’t we? Because we say, "Oh, this is an answer to prayer. God is so good!” An open door feels exciting. The email comes through. The opportunity presents itself. The relationship moves quickly. The platform grows. The invitation arrives. And the automatic conclusion many believers make is this: “Look at God”.“God did it.” But we need to understand or be

Day 2 | Emotional or Discernment? How to Tell the Difference (Sharpen Your Spirit: How to Develop Spiritual Discernment)
There is a dangerous sentence many believers say without realizing it. What is that? I am sure that each of us can come up with several of these statements that even we ourselves say all too often. But have you ever said: “I just feel like…” I just feel like God is telling me. I just feel like this is right. I just feel like something is off. But feelings are not always discernment. The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV): “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperate

Day 1 | Why We Keep Missing God’s Voice (Sharpen Your Spirit: How to Develop Spiritual Discernment)
We have touched on this subject here before. And many of us have also heard it discussed in sermons over many years. Have you ever heard The Voice of God speaking directly to you? How do you know it is The Voice of God or whether isn’t really, as we sometimes say, our minds telling us to do something ? This is the questions one might often ask: How many times have I mistaken God’s Voice for my own thoughts and missed His direction? Family, there is a difference between God

FRIDAY | Lent Series | Returning to The Heart of God – How to Walk Humbly With God
We have examined our hearts. We have repented. We have fasted with purpose. We have spoken about dying to self. Now we end where true discipleship must live — humility. The prophet Micah declares in Micah 6:8 (KJV): “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Walk humbly. Not once in a while Not emotionally. Just walk humbly, all of the time. Sincerely. To be humble i

THURSDAY | Lent Series | Returning to The Heart of God - How to Die to Self Daily
Repentance turns us back to God. Fasting sharpens our focus. But discipleship requires something deeper — dying to self. Jesus said in Luke 9:23 (KJV): “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Daily. Dying to self daily. Meaning it’s not a one-time altar moment where you holler and bawl and cry out to God and then as soon as you leave that moment, you return to your old hot-tempered, prideful, uncaring self. Dying to

WEDNESDAY | Lent Series | Returning to the Heart of God — How to Fast With Purpose
We have examined our hearts. We have spoken about repentance. Now we address fasting. I think we know this by now: Fasting is not about food. It is about focus. Jesus said in Matthew 6:16–18 (KJV): “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast… But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in

TUESDAY | Lent Series: Returning to the Heart of God | How to Repent Biblically
Yesterday, we asked God to search our hearts. Today, we respond to what He reveals. Repentance is not merely saying sorry or feeling sorry. It is turning. And that, I have discovered, is one of the hardest things for us to do. The apostle Peter declared in Acts 3:19 (KJV): “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Repent. Be converted. Be blotted out. Be refreshed. Convers

MONDAY | Lent Series: Returning to the Heart of God | God Sees What You’re Hiding — How to Examine Your Heart Before Him
It begins in a garden, just after everything has gone terribly wrong. The Lord God walks in the cool of the day and calls out, “Where art thou?” (Genesis 3:9, KJV). Adam and Eve are hiding — stitched into fig leaves, crouched behind trees, hoping shadows can conceal what guilt has exposed. But nothing created can hide the heart from its Creator. God was not seeking information. He was inviting confession. And He is still asking the same question today — not about location, bu
