Rhythm of Faith

Rejection stings. Whether it is a job application, a crush, or that group project partner saying, you do it alone, it hurts. There is no pretending otherwise. But here is the truth we often miss. Rejection is not a verdict on your worth. It is often God saying, not this one, I have something better prepared. Think of rejection as a closed door that saves you from a room you were never meant to stay in. While you are focused on the door that did not open, God is already arranging another path, one you may not see yet, but one that leads to growth, peace, and purpose. Scripture reassures us of this truth. The Bible says, The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still. It also reminds us that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. This means that even the disappointments are not wasted. They are woven into a bigger picture. When rejection comes, pause and reflect. Sometimes it is simply a matter of timing. Other times it is protection. And sometimes it i...

Some people are so committed to bad behaviour that you would think they signed a contract. Drama is their morning coffee. Trouble is their side hustle. If mischief paid salary, they would be top earners with benefits. But before you shout in confusion, hold on. The real question is this: Are you dealing with a seared conscience or a wounded soul? A seared conscience is that person whose sense of right and wrong has gone on permanent holiday. Their moral compass is not just broken, it has packed its bags and relocated. You can advise them, warn them, quote scriptures, even bring a whole committee. Nothing enters. It is like knocking on a brick wall and expecting it to say sorry. Think emotional calluses. • They know what is right in the textbook but cannot feel it in real life. • They lie like they are reciting the alphabet. They use people without batting an eyelid. Their conscience is basically on flight mode. • Trying to reason with them is like trying to teach a rock to cry...

Let us be honest. Ignorance is not just a personal weakness like forgetting where you kept your charger or calling someone three times before remembering you put your phone on silent. No. Ignorance can actually grow legs, pack a small Ghana Must Go bag, and relocate from one generation to the next if nobody stops it. The Bible already warned us. Hosea 4 verse 6 says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Not harassed, not troubled, not mildly inconvenienced. Destroyed. Full finish. That is how powerful ignorance is. And the funny part is this: you can be transferring ignorance without even knowing you own it. Family traditions do not need a meeting before they continue. One person carries nonsense, the next person collects it like inheritance. It is like passing a basket around. If your basket is full of error, guess what everybody after you will receive Very simple. More error. Just imagine this scene for a moment. You walk into a family function. Everybody is hold...

Imagine your wallet as a very fragile pet. Every time you buy something you want instead of something you need, it falls over dramatically and whispers, “Why would you do this to me.” It is the kind of pet that faints at the slightest sign of financial irresponsibility. Needs are like rice and beans. They might not sparkle or pose for the camera, but they keep you alive and functioning. Wants are like that twelfth pair of sneakers that look exactly like the other eleven in your closet. Your bank account does not need twins, triplets, and cousins of the same shoe pretending to be a family reunion. Setting boundaries in spending means telling yourself, “I do not need everything that winks at me from the store shelf.” Because if you do not create boundaries, your money will quietly pack its bags and retire early without informing you. Then you will be left wondering why the month still has days but your account has nothing left to say.😄

Want light? Pay the prayer bill. 💡🙌 Because even NEPA knows nothing stays on for free Romans 12:11–13 (MSG) Paul is basically shouting, “Don’t burn out! Stay fueled up! Stay on fire! Serve God with joy!” And honestly, Paul understood something many of us pretend not to know:  You cannot move forward on an  empty spiritual tank . It’s impossible. Even Toyota will disown you if you try it. Think about it: You can’t drive your car on  E,  and then blame the manufacturer. You knew the tank was empty. You saw the fuel light blinking like a Christmas decoration.  But you still kept going because “God will do it.” God will do it, yes… but  you will buy fuel. Same with prayer. You can’t coast on yesterday’s prayer like it’s leftover jollof.  Prayer is not “once and keep.” It’s daily fuel.  If you don’t intentionally refill, your spirit will start coughing like a generator with bad plug. And let’s talk about electricity. You can shout “Li...

Life on earth is basically a one hundred year hotel stay. If you are fortunate, you might land the penthouse suite with fresh towels, working air conditioning, and room service that actually arrives before you give up. But no matter how fancy your room is, checkout time is guaranteed. Everyone eventually gets that polite knock on the door. Eternity is something entirely different. There is no checkout. There is no expiration date. There is no reminder card under the door saying you must be out by eleven in the morning. Compared to eternity, even a full century of good living is a single grain of rice in a very large sack. Temporary life can be pleasant, yes, but it is not the main event. Eternal life with God is the real treasure, the investment that never depreciates, the experience that does not end. So do not exchange eternity for temporary treats that vanish faster than a plate of roadside snacks. Choose the feast that lasts forever.

If God ever revealed how important you truly are, the weight of that truth would overwhelm you. Many of us live far below the identity heaven has spoken over us. We see our flaws, our fears, and our failures. God sees purpose, strength, and calling. The truth is that most people do not believe they matter as much as they actually do. If God sat you down and unfolded the full picture of who you are in His eyes, the revelation would come as a shock. It would be greater than anything you have ever imagined because His perspective is not limited by what you see in the mirror. Consider Gideon in Judges 6. He was hiding from his enemies, convinced he was the weakest in his family and the least among his people. Yet God approached him with a completely different identity and called him a mighty man of valor. Gideon could not reconcile what God said with what he believed about himself, because divine identity always reaches beyond human insecurity. This is what happens when God speaks. H...

Let’s be honest, life is  wild.  There are literally a thousand ways to die.  and most of them you’ll never see coming. You could choke on a peanut, trip over your own shoelace, get hit by a runaway wheelbarrow, or, heaven forbid,get knocked out by a falling coconut. And yet, we walk around pretending we’re the ones in control. We cross-check expiration dates, drink detox smoothies, avoid carbs like they’re demons, and still  bam!  life reminds us that control is just a nice illusion. You can’t plan everything. You can’t predict everything. You can’t even sneeze in public without people looking at you like you triggered the apocalypse.   But here’s the funny part: God  can He’s the One who knows exactly how long you’ll live , not coconuts, not peanuts, not gravity, and certainly not your shoelaces. When the Bible says, “He has numbered your days,” it means that no accident, allergy, or clumsy moment can end your life before ...
