I’m Grateful for the Pains & Losses

I have felt bad at the pains and losses that life has served,I’ve penned voluminous Lamentations when faced with delays,I’ve wriggled and squiggled when led to tarry between the already and not yet,But I have changed my mind, LORD,I’m grateful for the pains and losses,Thank you for the job I didn’t secure when I had […]

How are You Doing?

How are you doing, friend?Did you just say, “I am fine?”How can you be fine? You have just taken another dart from the chains of addiction. You are battling this addiction.As usual, you have lied to yourself, “Let me sin for the Last Time!”The very last time, like all addicts, say. How are you doing, […]

Battle Won by Death Wound

Birth to us means a new beginning,But to Him, birth meant a welcome into the battlefield,So how does a baby fight?Can he raise a standard against his enemy?Or stand inch by inch to wield his javelin and arrows?When he stepped out, he was always embattled,But He managed a perfect childhood,Graduated into faultless manhood,Conducted a holy […]

If This Happens, You will Lose Battles You Shouldn’t Lose

there are some things which, if you do, you will lose battles you should win. This is the heart of the matter here. We have failed in places we were not supposed to fail because we made these fatal mistakes. All failures in various aspects of life are usually guilty of this one great mistake.

The Paradox of Age

Growing up in an average Kenyan home in the early 2000s had some exciting challenges: restrictions as to what to wear, what to watch on TV, when to sleep, what to eat, how to behave to avoid military-style canings etc. Sorry to digress, but it reminds me of a meme I saw a while back […]

Because You are God’s Child

“God’s Children cannot get away with what the devil’s children are getting away with”

Children Have “Ear Problems”

Children have ear problems,They will not remember all things you say sweetly,Though you said it with a passion put to use,Or in modulated decibels to appeal to their little childish persons.Even if you create an ambiance of a background,Wafting J. S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier,They will forget it soon as you finish,This is because children have […]

YOUR CHILDREN WON’T COME TO CHURCH

Your children won’t come to church!And you shouldn’t be sad about it,When they were little and dependent,Often more than they heard of prayers,Or the power of God unto salvation,They heard your mean and disparaging comments,Poking holes on every Saint and Sinner,Finding something to correct in every sermon,Whipping character out of the strugglers privileged to speak […]

Before You Resort To Suicide

Before you resort to suicide,Please convince us that no one is going to be hurt in the process,Make me believe that out of the eight billion of us,No one wants to see you again. Before you resort to suicide,Make me believe that your problem is beyond solution,Is it worse than world war I & II?Can […]

Battle for the Pulpit

Our world is embattled to a greater extent. Wars bombard us on all fronts. We fight for survival from unforeseen dangers and injuries. We eat, breathe, sleep, shower, and do everything that has become routine. To your dismay and mine, even the pulpit is embattled. This looks scary, right? Maybe you may begin thinking in […]
