" God, have mercy on me". I said while beating my chest. Life had been quite a rollercoaster; working for and with the Romans hadn't been what I had expected. Also, I hadn't been anywhere close to the temple for such a long time. So, going to Jerusalem to see a relative gave me the opportunity to enter the temple to pray. As I said my five words of prayer, I noticed a Pharisee who was five metres away from me. I envied him dearly; my thoughts was that God would certainly answer his prayers way before mine. The Pharisees were wise and knowledgeable when it comes to the word of God - who could dare stand beside them to pray when they prayed - these were the 'righteous' men of Israel. Besides, tax collectors and the Pharisees weren't in any way best of friends - Derision, disgust and isolation in our community was what we always got. The contempt was strong but weren't we just doing our job? Following a heavy sigh, I said "God, I don't deserve t...

Last week Saturday, the death of Chadwick Boseman broke the internet. The Black Panther star was battling colon cancer and passionately acting, such a bold thing to do. The major reason I wrote this poem as a tribute to him is because he was a believer before his death and I believe he's with God in a better place. In my culture, Death is not the end In Zion, We transition To a place of  better life To a place where death doesn't exist And a place where sorrow can't live In my culture, Eternity is our location Living in matchless glory And forever never feels long In my culture, We are renamed immortals We are giants who have conquered death And are finally living in God's unimaginable glory

  Money isn't everything As important as money is and as much as we are aware that it is a means of exchange on earth, we need to guard our heart on how much we engage our mind with it. In fact, money is something we often are worried about. The thoughts of "how much will this cost?", "how much will it yield?" We should be more conscious about our treasures in heaven first, putting material wealth second. It's a hard balance to keep sometimes, especially in this world where it’s easy to turn a creative work into profit but it isn't impossible to do. Struggles will show forth One important thing to note is that in the process, struggles will come, failures may come. But never be afraid to take a risk, because as children of God, you have an edge! - the Gospel edge – which will enable you to respond to problems and failures with uncommon hope and boldness. Self-worth This is often something creatives generally deal with. The feeling of having to deal with ...

  Creativity is an amazing and beautiful part of human. Having the creator include creativity in the makeup of his creation is mind-blowing when you think about it. Although, man's creative ability grew apart from God through perversion that came as a result of sin but the finished works of Christ redeemed man including his creative ability. What Jesus did for our sake made it possible for man to be able re-align himself to what God created him to be. There are quite a number of creatives out there but a Christian creative has to stand out from the world. Majorly because the foundation and the sole influence of our content is Christ. Therefore, when we are able to get an answer for the “why” of creativity selfishly, we get into trouble. But allowing God answer it, puts our creativity in its right place. Christ refashions and reframes all of our existence—including our creativity. As Christian creatives, our creativity unites to the source of superior excellence that we’re seeking i...
