• This evening I planned to meet with Jeremy's mother the moment I returned from work.

    His mum goes out very early in the morning and comes back late at night. Since it was about to rain heavily, I felt the mum would have returned home earlier today.

    So when I got back home this evening, I changed and headed straight for an eatery to buy some snacks for Jeremy. I bought an extra plate for the mother as well. I took these snacks and went to the house to knock.

    Jeremy was the one who opened the door when I knocked. He paused like he had seen a ghost. Then he glanced back and returned his gaze to me and whispered.

    "Dad."

    I whispered back.

    "Jeremy."

    Is your mummy in?"

    "Yes. She just came back."

    "Tell her I want to see her."

    He froze for a moment. I could see fear in his eyes.

    "Will you be in trouble?" I asked.

    He nodded his head.

    I understood his fear. I knew he was scared of his mother's reaction. Especially as she had already warned him about me.

    Just as I was about to turn back, his mother showed up at the door and opened the curtain. She must have heard my voice when I was talking with Jeremy.

    She pushed Jeremy behind her and the boy just went inside.

    "Good evening."

    "What do you want?"

    "I came to talk with you and I also brought some snacks and food for you and for Jeremy too. I stopped by the eatery."

    Jeremy was peeping through the window and I could see his face.

    "Did Jeremy tell you we were hungry?"

    "No...no. Not at all. I just wanted to see you and discuss with you. So I felt I shouldn't come empty-handed. I thought of what to get and believe me this was the best thing I could come up with."

    "We are not hungry, sir. We just ate dinner not long ago."

    I nodded.

    "Can I come in. So we talk?"

    "About what?"

    "Ummm... I understand you do not know me that well. I am your neighbor. I stay just over there. Jeremy and I have been friends and I met him once when I gave him a lift to school and since then I have been giving him lifts to school."

    "Are you a driver?"

    "No... I am a writer and script writer and I work for an establishment as well."

    "So since you are not a driver why are you interested in giving him a lift?"

    "I just... I mean since we go out together in the morning and I... Madam listen. Jeremy is a nice boy and I have seen him as my son as well as you have. I just wanted you to understand..."

    "Jeremy is not looking for a father. If he were I would have shown him where his father is. Please stay clear from my son. Please."

    She entered the house and shut the door angrily. For a moment I felt embarassed and useless.

    Jeremy waved at me and I waved back. I do not know if he was saying sorry or saying goodnight to me. But before I could wave back, his mother forcefully dragged him away from the window.

    I felt bad.

    I turned and left.

    On my way home, I got beaten by the rain. My clothes were drentched. It was as if the heavens were in agreement with her.

    I do not know if to stay off or try one more time.

    I do not know at all

  • Even when love leaves questions behind, let each sunrise remind you that your worth isn't tied to who stayed, it's in the strength you carry into a brand new day.

  • Comparison is a waste of energy. Every individual is unique with specific talents. Find your passion and live your best life. Be happy with yourself and find satisfaction in your work. Your journey is yours alone. Keep going and with the help of the Almighty, you'll get there.

    GOOD MORNING
    *(PLEASE STAY SAFE)*

  • "For there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud…" – Job 14:7-9

    This image is a simple but profound illustration.

    A mango tree, cut down—whether by nature or human hands—still bears fruit. Why? Because its roots are still in the ground.

    In the same way, as long as you are breathing, there is hope. You can rise again. You can start over. You can still produce fruit.

    Life may cut you down. Circumstances may try to silence your growth. But don’t forget this truth:
    You are not done yet.

    Stay rooted. Stay hopeful. You will outgrow your situation.

    Happy Palm Sunday.
    A day that reminds us of humble beginnings and triumphant endings.

  • Spiritual attacks are inevitable, but with discernment and prayer, we can stand victorious. Be vigilant, be quick to discern the enemy’s tactics, and be relentless in prayer. Remember, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

    The enemy’s power is no match for the authority and power you carry in Christ. Stay alert, pray with authority, and trust that God has already won the victory for you!

    Not all attacks come through dreams.

    for example:

    When you experience sudden weariness or Fatigue: If you’re suddenly overwhelmed with exhaustion, even after a full night’s rest, it could be a spiritual attack designed to wear you down and make you vulnerable hence fire back the arrows !

    Unusual Emotional Swings: Persistent feelings of anger, fear, sadness, or discouragement that don’t seem connected to any specific event can indicate spiritual interference. The enemy targets our emotions to steal our peace and joy.

    Confusion and Mental Fog: Struggling to focus, remember things, or feeling confused without any clear cause may be a sign that the enemy is trying to cloud your mind.

    Increased Temptation: When temptations suddenly intensify in areas you’ve previously gained victory, it may be the enemy’s attempt to pull you back into *******. fire back to sender any arrow targeting your mind.

    Disruptions in Prayer Life: If you’re finding it difficult to pray, read the Word, or engage in worship, this could be a strategic attack to hinder your spiritual growth and weaken your defenses.
