A New Creation

The last time I checked, February 14 th was just one of those days I wished could quickly come and go. The pressure of giving or receiving a gift on this day – chocolates and flowers being on top of the list – can sometimes be insurmountable not to mention the ‘consciousness’ that comes with noticing the color red. This valentine as the world celebrates the gift of love; I want to be found celebrating the giver of love.  In Ethics we learn that love can be defined as desiring good for the other person for their own sake . The first time I heard this definition I was perplexed. I always knew love has to be about me not necessarily about the other person. Am loving you because am at the receiving end of your good action not because am at the beginning stage of my good action to you. My perception of love changed when I met Love. God is love.   He created human beings and gave them commands that they should live by. As He was making these commands He was thinking...

Lady – Are you a ruby or a stone? The proverbs 31 lady has always amazed me. How she manages to do all that she does – it takes God’s hand. mmh.si.edu I like the way she is introduced, ‘ A wife of noble character who can find?

In the same way just because you have only read of the wife of noble character but have no...

  I would like to thank and dedicate this post to my First Love (God) for giving me the opportunity to see Him as He really is through Genesis 3 and for using five lovely ladies – (Muso, Mukuna, Masereti, Mwix, Lisa) and many others as instruments to draw me nearer to Him. As ladies and gentlemen alike, there is always the temptation of talking about things that do not really build us up. We usually have this desire that when we part ways after meeting, we are updated with the latest fashion, who is dating who, the hottest movies/series, and the list goes on and on. While these things may not be bad in themselves, they are a dead end. We feel good talking about them but afterwards, well…nothing. And so when the idea came to one of the ladies that we should start a Bible study so that we can sharpen one another, it was irresistible. Unlike the other talks, this one is different. It is not an end in itself; it prepares God to bless His children as they seek out to find o...
