The Discipline of Perception: We Receive People the Way We Perceive Them

Perception isn’t just how we see the world—it’s how we engage with it. It’s how we interpret people, situations, opportunities, and setbacks. And here's the uncomfortable truth: most of us are walking around misperceiving what matters most. In John 4, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well. To her, He appears to be just another thirsty traveller. An ordinary Jew. Nothing special. Then Jesus speaks. “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” — John 4:10 (NKJV) That’s the pivot point. If she had known—if she had seen rightly—she would have responded differently. Eventually, her perception shifts. After Jesus reveals her past, she says: “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.” — John 4:19 (NKJV) She saw more clearly—and her future was changed. Perception is power. The ability to see rightly, without distortion, gives us clarity in chaos, wisdom in uncertainty, and access to...

Recognize Your Authority in Christ

  Authority is a term often associated with control, governance, or influence over others. However, in the Kingdom of God, authority is not about domination; it is about divine alignment. It is the invisible power that flows when heaven partners with the earth through a believer who understands their identity. Many believers navigate life unaware of the authority coursing through their spiritual veins. They often live timidly and passively, as if merely surviving.  But Jesus didn’t die for survival; He died and rose so that you would reign—not over people, but over sin, fear, darkness, and despair. This understanding is not arrogance; it is alignment. It is not human pride; it is divine placement. The source of all authority is God Himself. He didn’t just create the world; He entrusted it to humanity. In Genesis 1:26–28, God gave humanity dominion. Adam was not merely a gardener; he was a governor. He named creation, stewarded paradise, and represented heaven on earth. Then tr...

The Voice That Holds the World: Honouring the Eternal Strength of Mothers

Hi, everyone. Today, I want to discuss something I didn’t get to share yesterday. We celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday, and I had intended to post something in honor of it. Unfortunately, due to some unavoidable circumstances, I wasn’t able to. I hope you’ll allow me to consider this an extension of the day. There is a voice that doesn’t shout yet shapes the world. It does not boast but carries the weight of generations. Often overlooked or dismissed, when this voice speaks, heaven leans in. This is the voice of a mother. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s be honest. Our celebrations often skim the surface: flowers, breakfast, a post on social media. However, the call of this day goes deeper. It is a spiritual reckoning with a truth our world is still learning to honour: the voice of a woman, especially that of a mother, is not sentimental; it is sacred. The world is broken, in part, because we have not listened. We’ve built systems that reward aggression and ignore compassion. We ido...

Understand Your Identity in Christ

We live in a world that often seems confusing. Identity—once rooted in truth, community, and divine design—has become fragmented.  Many today feel like they are drowning in society’s expectations, chasing after titles, images, and affirmations as if they were lifelines in a storm.  But the world is fickle. Its validation is fleeting, and its approval often comes at a cost. As a result, we find ourselves lost, doubting who we are, questioning our worth, and searching for something that already exists within us but remains hidden. This identity crisis is not accidental; it’s one of the enemy’s oldest and most effective tactics. If he can confuse who you are, he can also confuse what you do. And if he can confuse what you do, he can derail why you’re here. That's why so many today are redefining their identities based on whatever the world currently applauds—appearance, fame, even gender. This shift is not born out of rebellion but from despair. When you don’t know who you are in...

Check Your Words: The Power of Speech in the Race of Faith

“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” — Ephesians 4:29 (NKJV) Longevity and happiness—two shadows modern man chases like mirages in a fading dusk. Silicon Valley preaches salvation through science, with gurus like Peter Diamandis offering digital commandments: “Transform your life with five strategies.” “Choose your morning routine wisely.” “Your routine is either lengthening or shortening your life.” His passion is noble. His sincerity is evident. But his gospel is incomplete. Because there is a deeper longevity—not just measured in years, but in the quality of your days. Not just breathe in your lungs, but light in your soul. Scripture reveals the key: "He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.” — 1 Peter 3:10. Your Words Shape Your World What if the words you speak don’t just affect others—but actually shape you...

Lessons from Daniel’s Separation: Choosing Principle Over Popularity

Daniel didn’t stumble into greatness. He chose it. He made a quiet, resolute decision not to defile himself with the king’s delicacies (Daniel 1:8). It wasn’t just about food. It was about who he was—and who he refused to become. In a foreign empire full of idols, luxury, and compromise, Daniel stood apart. While others adjusted to Babylon, Daniel held his ground. Why? Because a man must decide what he stands for—or he will fall for whatever benefits him at the moment. Today, Babylon still exists. It lives in boardrooms and media feeds. In culture’s obsession with power, approval, and comfort. The enemy no longer needs to destroy us with force—just distraction. Slowly. Quietly. With compromise masked as a convenience. But Daniel knew this: erosion leads to collapse. So he drew the line early. And because he did, he prospered when others fell (Daniel 6:28). Separation isn’t isolation. It’s the focus. Daniel lived in Babylon, but Babylon didn’t live in him. He lived a consecrated life. S...

Marks of Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is a vital journey for every believer. It is marked by clear indicators that reflect a deeper relationship with God and a transformed life. Just as a healthy tree bears fruit, a spiritually maturing believer begins to display outward signs of inward change. These marks of spiritual growth reveal a heart being shaped by the Spirit and aligned with God’s will. 1.  Deeper  Love for God  One of the most significant signs of spiritual growth is a deeper love for God. As Jesus stated in Matthew 22:37,  “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”  When our love for Him expands, it shows that we are growing in intimacy and surrender. This love motivates obedience and deepens our desire to walk closely with Him. 2. Victory Over Sin Another evidence of spiritual maturity is victory over sin. As believers yield to the Holy Spirit, they gain the strength to overcome temptation. Galatians 5:16 reminds u...
