The Comforting Cross

There was this season when I was waiting on God for an answer. I waited patiently for the result, but at some point, I became anxious, doubting the possibility of the answer ever coming through. One morning, toward the ending part of my quiet time with God, I brought out my note where I had jotted down the prophecies and promises of God concerning that particular issue I was trusting Him for. I read through the little note and was drawn back to when God spoke those words to me.  Funny enough, when He spoke them, that season had not even surfaced yet. Meaning that God’s word came ahead of time, even before the tough season appeared. This shows a Father who cares so much about us that even before the difficult season comes, He has already given us His promises to perfect all things. It is a word to fall back on whenever fear and tiredness set in. I can always hold on to the word and be strengthened.  This reminded me that God had already gone ahead of me, and his word came ahead...

  Have you ever felt delayed in life while everyone else seems to be moving ahead? You pray. You plan. You prepare. Yet somehow, just when you try to speed forward, something slows you down again.  An opportunity closes, plan fails, door shuts and delay appears. Meanwhile, others seem to be accelerating effortlessly. In those moments, it is easy to question yourself, Am I on the wrong path? Has God forgotten me? Why is my journey so slow ?   But what if your delay is not denial? What if your roadblock is not rejection? What if the very thing frustrating you is actually protecting you? Sometimes, God slows you down because He is saving your life, your destiny, and your purpose. And what feels like an obstacle… is actually mercy. The Story of the Speed Bumps In my hometown, reckless driving from motorcycles and cars caused frequent and painful accidents.  Lives were being lost and families were grieving. The roads that were meant for movement became channels of tragedy...

There’s something deeply powerful about being found where you are supposed to be. In Scripture, we see a young shepherd boy named David—not in a palace, not on a stage, not chasing visibility—but faithfully tending sheep in obscurity. Yet, it was in that “ordinary” place that he was located, anointed, and announced into destiny. This brings a question straight to your heart: Where are you right now? Are you grounded in purpose, or are you drifting from place to place—east to west—drawn by noise, trends, and wherever the spotlight seems to shine? The Danger of Chasing Everything Many people today are not lost because they lack ability—they are lost because they lack focus.  They move quickly, but without direction,  busy, but not productive,  visible, but now not impactful. It’s easy to get caught up in “what is happening” instead of “what God is saying.” also  easy to chase relevance and forget purpose,  But purpose is not found in noise rather it  is disco...

Have you ever walked away from a conversation knowing you were right, yet still lost the opportunity? Many times, doors don’t close because of what we say, but because of how we say it. A simple interaction in a shop became a life-changing lesson for me—one that revealed how tone, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit can transform conflict into favor. This story is a reminder that gentle words carry power, and a soft answer can open doors truth alone cannot. Life often teaches us its most important lessons in ordinary places—sometimes in a shop, during a brief conversation, or through a moment we almost overlook. One such lesson came to me some months ago, and it reshaped how I understand communication, wisdom, and the role of the Holy Spirit in our daily interactions. The Encounter in the Shop Some months ago, a lady walked into our shop to buy a few items. Like many customers, she carefully looked around before asking for the price of a particular product. I told her the correct price. Almo...

  Crying is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign that you are human. Sometimes, tears are simply the soul’s way of releasing pressure when life feels heavy. God never designed us to bottle up pain forever. He understands our tears, and He values them. The Bible reminds us of this truth “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”— Psalm 56:8 (NLT) This verse alone tells us that tears are not ignored by God. They are noticed, counted, and honored. I was reminded of this truth when I watched a short clip on YouTube. The video showed two toddlers, about one to two years old, standing before two feeding bottles filled with baby food. Naturally, they both wanted to rush forward and grab the food. But standing between them and what they wanted were four lines of sellotape placed across a doorway. To an adult, it looked simple but to the toddlers, it was a serious obstacle.  They were faced with a choice ...

It is true that not everyone in your life must become your friend. Differences in values, purpose, and seasons naturally shape our relationships. However, it is equally important to understand that not everyone should become your enemy either. The absence of friendship does not automatically require hostility. The Bible teaches us to “live at peace with all men” (Romans 12:18). This instruction comes with wisdom—“if it is possible, as much as depends on you.” In other words, while everyone may not choose to be at peace with you, your responsibility is to maintain a peaceful heart and attitude toward others. Sadly, in today’s world, people are often quick to cut others off at the slightest offense—misunderstandings, unspoken expectations, or minor mistakes. While boundaries are important, constantly disconnecting from people over small issues often reveals deeper struggles such as unforgiveness, resentment, or pride. Over time, holding grudges and nurturing malice can quietly grow into ...
