Jesus, My Icon: Understanding What It Means to Follow the Ultimate Role Model

Who Is an Icon? The Deep Meaning Behind True Influence An icon is much more than just a famous face or a trending personality. The word itself comes from the Greek "eikon," meaning image or likeness, referring to something that represents and embodies deeper truths. True icons don’t merely capture attention; they capture hearts, minds, and imaginations in ways that fundamentally change how people think, act, and live. Throughout history, icons have served as bridges between the ordinary and the extraordinary, the human and the divine, the present moment and eternal significance. They become focal points for aspiration, teaching us not just what to do, but who to become. When you stop discussing Jesus in the abstract and start to claim Him as your icon, everything shifts. It’s no longer an intellectual exercise or a theological debate—it becomes visceral, personal, and revolutionary. I'm not just acknowledging His historical significance or nodding at His theological impor...

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

Look. Most of us are walking around half-blind. We think we're seeing clearly. But we're not. We're seeing through filters—bias, fear, ego, past wounds. And those filters? They're distorting everything. Perception isn't passive. It's not just some background mental process. It's active. It's a choice. And it's probably the most important skill you'll never be taught in school. The Woman at the Well: A Masterclass in Almost  Missed Opportunities John 4 gives us the perfect case study. A Samaritan woman approaches a well. She sees Jesus sitting there. To her? He's just another thirsty Jewish traveler. Nothing special. Nothing worth her time. 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) If you knew. That's the pivot point. The moment when perception becomes everything. She didn't know be...

The Authority Crisis: Why Most Believers Live Like Spiritual Peasants

Discover your divine authority as a believer. Learn how to walk in spiritual power, overcome fear, and reign from your God-given position in Christ. Transform from survival to sovereignty. Authority.  The word makes most people uncomfortable. They think of dictators. Tyrants. Control freaks drunk on power. But here's what the modern church has forgotten: True authority isn't about domination—it's about divine alignment. And most believers? They're walking around spiritually impotent, completely unaware of the nuclear reactor humming in their chest. The Great Spiritual Amnesia Walk into any church today. What do you see?  Timid souls. Defeated spirits. People who've confused humility with powerlessness. They pray like they're begging. They live like they're barely surviving. This is not what Jesus died for. He didn't bleed out on a cross so you could cower in spiritual poverty. He conquered death itself so you could reign—not over people, but over the for...

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...
