  • Rejection

    Rejection

      Written by: Amarachi Silverline Offor & Iyanuoluwa Akinrinola   Let me ask you a few questions to start. Have you ever heard the word “No”? Have you ever felt worthless? Have you ever put so much effort into a thing Only to watch it blow-up in your face? Have you ever written or answered…

  • Not Comfortable

    Think about this for a second… Maybe take a minute… Possibly even more than that… I have been pondering this all year. Now, we know that “Faith is the evidence of things not yet seen, and the assurance of things hoped for” (Hebrews 11:1), but what does that even mean? What does it mean to…

  • Trusting The Process

    “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10, KJV) She saw it boldly written. The other words seemed faint as she glanced through her bible. She had flipped through the pages continuously and that was the only verse that she caught sight of. She threw her bible to the floor and went down…

  • ON FIRE: Aflame for God

    ON FIRE: Aflame for God

    Inspired by Aflame for God, by Smith Wigglesworth By desensitizing people to miracles, to divine manifestations, and to divine works, we as a people desire less of the works -calling them theatrics-, and focus more on the materialistic prosperity – calling them blessings- as signs of God’s involvement. Nothing stops us from raising the dead…

  • Conformity vs. Transformation

    Conformity vs. Transformation

    …Sometimes, to better understand where you are going, you need to look back on where you are coming from… Often times I forget the bondage from which I was freed. The bondage masked under pleasure. The bondage masked under ‘societal norm’. The bondage masked under capitalism. The bondage masked under liberalism. The bondage which by…

  • On The Hill

    On The Hill

    “On the hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross, the emblem of suffering and shame…” (Bennard, 1913). On the hill, on that Cross, was where the battle for my life was won. On the hill, on that Cross, was where my victory was taken back for me. On the hill, on that Cross, was where…

  • If I could be Jealous

    If I could be jealous of anything in this life, I would be jealous of those who came to God (through Christ) early. The pain, loss, misunderstandings, heartbreaks, and wasted time that I could have avoided. All the wasted efforts and trivial pursuits that could have been avoided. Oh boy. I would not be jealous…

  • Self Concept

    Self Concept

    I was privileged enough to read a book by one of my mentors (from afar) titled; “Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life’s Storms.” This book is coauthored by Tim Tebow with A.J. Gregory. I remember the first time I picked up the book, I had to put it down. Not because I could…

  • Thank You

    Thank You

    “I will give thanks to you Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all of your wonderful deeds.” [Psalm 9:1]. This was a year end reflection letter written in 2014. A thank you letter more than anything else. It is now years later, and this letter still resonates. More so now than it…

  • Why Settle?

    “Increase my capacity to receive more” [Baba, Jonathan Nelson] Increase my capacity to receive more. Increase my ability to receive more of what you have for me. I will not settle for mediocre. I will not settle for just ‘good enough’. Because Your thoughts towards me are of good and not of evil, I am…

  • L I S T E N: Do you hear when He speaks?

    L I S T E N: Do you hear when He speaks?

    Though I often intended to focus on a topic or look at one issue at a time, especially when I was in my quiet time with God, it was as though my mind insisted on running a mile a minute at that precise moment. God has been speaking and though, at first, I was begrudgingly…
