With the rifle’s butt pressed against my right shoulder blade in prone position and my forefinger wrapped around the trigger guard, l looked through the back sight to the fore sight and unto the target 100 meters away. Squeezing the trigger, hearing the sound of the round leave the barrel and feeling the recoil of the rifle ushered in a new dispensation and realization of warfare.

Wow, it is 3 years since the last time I published a post, but it’s great to be back fulfilling one’s purpose in life. Like the journey to Tarshish instead of Nineveh, 3 days in the belly of the fish is the experience needed to understand God’s love and grace, and also re-discover Gods’ plan and purpose for one’s life.
Jonah 1:1-31Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. - King James Version Jonah 2:1Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, - King James Version Jonah 2:10And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. - King James Version
God’s call had never been any clearer to me than now and I believe the enemy really fights against your vision.
Ephesians 6:12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - King James Version.
He attacks your vision and creates stumbling blocks to distract and discourage you from focusing on Gods plan for your life.
Hope we spend more time together as we walk this path of salvation maximising our potential in relationships and marriages.
I suppose the ideal situation is for one to be able to say ‘ I married my best friend’ or at least ‘I married my friend’. When the chips are down, you’ll need a friend to stand by you, to confide in and comfort you. Love is important in any dating or marriage relationship, however it is equally important that you marry your friend. Read the rest of this entry »
Marriage is consummated usually on the wedding night when the man knows his wife just as Adam knew Eve and brought fought Cain. Everything God created was good; in fact all things created were very good including sex. Sex is meant to be pleasurable and enjoyed by married couples within the confines of marriage, but how often has sexual fulfilment been a thorn in the flesh in otherwise good marriages. Some may consider discussing sex a no go area, others may feel shy to talk about it with their spouse while some deep folks may even regard is as sinful. Read the rest of this entry »
Lighting a unity candle is sometimes incorporated in wedding ceremonies to symbolise two live coming together as one.Ephesians 5:31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. - King James VersionIn the early days, the love between the husband and wife radiates but after a while it begins to dwindle with each argument, misunderstanding and challenge that life brings. Marriages don’t just pack up all of a sudden, is a gradual process. It is vital that both parties are determined to make the marriage work. Both parties and not one party need to be committed to making it work and to keep the love aflame in the marriage. Read the rest of this entry »
The first commandment given by God with a promise is that we should honour our parents so that our days may be long, regardless of what kind of parent one may have had. They may not have been the best or may have failed woefully in their responsibilities; the bible still commands that we honour them. This can be a difficult pill to swallow in our society today where some kids hardly know their parents and some are born in dysfunctional families. It would take the grace of God to heal scars and wounds inflicted on children in such situations. Read the rest of this entry »

One question asked which I think would interest a hand full of people is, should married women go clubbing? Though the question refers particularly to women, I think the same can be asked on married men. Is there a straight answer like Yes they can or No they shouldn’t? Read the rest of this entry »
It is very sad, disheartening, horrendous and heart breaking to see the increase in knife crimes and deaths of teenagers in our society today. Young lives being wasted just like that. The pain and trauma families that have lost loved ones go through is enormous. The travesty of these crimes hits home when it knocks at your doorstep or in your neighbourhood. How many more lives must be lost before it abates? We all have a role to play in ensuring that this doesn’t go on. Read the rest of this entry »
