On the Subject of Healing
One thing I struggle with, is the ratio of people who get healed supernaturally, versus those who are healed by medicine or those who eventually die. If we discount specific waves of the Spirit for a moment – the ministries of Kathryn Kuhlman and other documented faith healers – and instead, do a simple headcount[…]
God, I want my future back!
“God, I want my future back.” Those were the words I whispered to God, while I was going through the greatest health scare of my life. In the midst of the tests and various medical consultations, it occurred to me that my life had stopped. My symptoms limited my movements and where I could go.[…]
I’m a Christian and I Enjoy Life!
It’s difficult for many to concatenate being Christian with enjoying life. Somehow we imagine one cannot be Christian and sexy, Christian and metrosexual, Christian and gourmand. When we are forced to make a choice, we either choose active Christianity and boring lives or passive Christianity and epicurean living. I am so alive. I am culturally[…]
Business Lessons From Scrabble
I won a game of Scrabble over the weekend. I was down by 30 points, but played the word, logjam, on triple word and double letter spots to earn 50 points. But another day, I was leading in a game of Ludo and had 2 seeds left. My boss was lagging behind, but then he[…]
I Just Want To Feel Something
I recently started drinking again after a long time of not drinking. Yesterday, as I considered my glass of single malt whiskey, I remembered a friend who wrote about sleeping with random women. After I read his thoughts, I asked him why he did it, since he didn’t seem like the “promiscuous” type. He responded[…]
You Will Have More Than One Idea
I spoke to a young man recently about a business proposition. He was more concerned about the money he would make, than the opportunities he would gain. I’ve also noticed that many entrepreneurs seem obsessed with people stealing their ideas. Some entrepreneurs assume they will have only one great idea in life. So, they guard[…]
Can Churches Provide Safe Spaces?
When people began to advocate for safe spaces in Nigeria for those dealing with depression, I could relate. I remembered reading about neighbourhood community centres in the US. In some US states where kids are at risk of suicide or gang initiation, the community leaders realised something. Many children do not turn to gangs or[…]
Money Cannot Always Buy Competence
Competence is the capacity to consistently deliver, without being micro-managed. But sometimes, it is assumed competence is about skills or attitude alone. No. It’s also about ideology and personal drive. The ideology behind competence is multifaceted. There’s fairness – the belief that one ought to do what one has been contracted to do. There’s righteousness[…]
Social Media Mob
Let me teach you something about building a reputation, in the age of social media. Make sure enough people know you in real life. People who can testify about what you stand for and attest to your true character and values. This is because social media invents at least a couple of scandals a day.[…]
Are Pastors the Problem With Christianity?
I’m beginning to think that almost every social media complaint that begins with “The Church”, actually means, “The Pastor”. Part of the problem is what I call the “inversion” of Christianity. Physical churches are meant to serve as training grounds that equip saints for the work of the ministry, in the world. Instead, they seem[…]
