A young lady fell into the pool mistankenly and there was a reason for everyone to panic. But the young lady stopped struggling, regained her poise and started kicking her legs. As she did, she moved steadily to the side of the pool and then proceeded to come out on her own. People were relieved to know she remembered her training and used it. That inspired every other child within the vicinity to get in the pool too. Especially those that were reluctant earlier, [...]
The pool instructor may have said a thousand words I didn't give heed to. Yet, something he said caught my attention. He said: "Whatever you do, keep the water moving, don't let it stagnate. Bad things happen when water is stagnant." What came to my mind was the thought of mosquitoes laying their eggs and their new offsprings terrorizing the compound. I thought of algae growth with that repulsive slimy look. I thought how quickly the sparkling water could quickly become an eyesore if [...]
I had the honor and divine privilege of baptizing my 11-year old daughter a few days ago. To the glory of God. It's the dream of every Christian parent, to see their children walk in newness of life that can only be found in Christ. As Meyo immersed in water and came out, she identified herself with the death and resurrection of Christ. Her belief in Jesus Christ justified her for fellowship with Him. The blood of Jesus washing her every sin and presenting her to [...]
My good friend, Evangelist Danny Kioko, said something that resonated with me as we drove down to Indianapolis from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago where I picked him up after his long flight from Nairobi, Kenya. He said, "I know my God, and my God knows me - we know each other, so no problem." The conviction to which he spoke, the finality in his voice, and his nonchalant sincerity gave the statement new meaning. In my life, I've found that while the gift [...]
The woman with the issue of blood had spent all her living on physicians yet didn't get any better. An often overlooked point is that she did have the resources to spend on the physicians in the first place. Why wouldn't she? Anyone who thought the way she did, who had faith like she did, would have those same resources. She was a million dollar woman. She heard of Jesus, she came, she saw Him, believed and achieved her healing. The Syrophoenician woman, despite [...]
The reason for my drooped shoulders weeks ago was the fact that I had just received inquiries from over 30 people, the same day, for financial help. As I prayed to the Lord to lift up my spirit, He reminded me of a prayer I made to Him 14 years ago at a local Church on the south side of Indianapolis. I had asked God to put me in a position to be of help to others. He had answered, but I had forgotten. [...]
Zerubbabel asked, "What do I do now that I have survived exile in Babylon?" He thought he would never see his homeland again. But there he was, back in his home, Israel - living in stagnancy. God had poignant words for him. I will just quote it: "Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. Ye have sown much, and bring in little; [...]
