When Good Men Do Nothing
Following hard on the heels of my recent conversations about moving from mere thought and speech to action, I am confronted with a more interesting but disturbing phenomenon in society. It is often mistakenly stated that evil has overrun our lives because we live in evil times, where men are lovers of themselves, and selfishness is the driving factor in every decision men take. Consequently, self-preservation is the utmost reason for the battle of survival, and this evidence in most men is even...
Read MoreLeadership And Influence
According to John C. Maxwell, Leadership is influence; nothing more nothing less. Influence is the seed of true leadership. When leadership is void of influence then we’re not talking leadership. That is to say the only major evidence of good leadership is influence (which might be positive or negative). Adolf Hitler led the Nazi Army to fighting a war against other countries in the world because he was able to influence their thought patterns, aligning them to his; so as to realize his goal....
Read MoreThe Beautiful Thoughts of God to Us
What wonderful words that filled my ears over and over again today while I listened to the soul warming song by Bishop Will Murphy.

I remember back in the days when I was yet to go into a university, I was so busy I only now imagine what exactly I was doing? I left home at 10am in the morning and came back at night tired....
Read MoreBeing in Love: The Paradox of Being Together – Part 1
When I was little, I had dreams I cherished – most of which revolved around conquest, fame and intellectual superiority. But none of these dreams were half as beautiful as finding my one true love. You probably have had those moments when you are swept away by the flowery, ornery and fuzzy beauty of a dream guy or lady; when the flaws and faults of a desired person are conveniently replaced by positive attributes that exist nowhere else but in your trigger-happy imagination; when simply...

I have been engaged in a lot of reflection these days on how God speaks to us. Growing from the phase wherein I hoped for a deeply bold and crystal clear voice speak audibly to me, to a time when I become sensitive to His voice in my heart, I have severally enjoyed the leading of God in my life; sometimes to an embarrassing degree. At this point I am still learning how God speaks, and in the midst of it all I remain awed at the fact that I just cannot trap God in His ways. He chooses to speak...
