Land of Lemons

What inspired me to write this post was a friend sharing a verse from Habakkuk (a book in the bible), not specifically for me, but with us, as a general encouragement. I find it so applicable in my situation, speaking to my heart. Habakkuk 3:17-19 17  Though the fig tree does not bud      and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails      and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen      and no cattle in the stalls, 18  yet I will rejoice in the  Lord ,      I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19  The Sovereign  Lord  is my strength;      he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,      he enables me to tread on the heights. In verse 17, it is about fruitlessness. Even though there is no fruit in the marriage, no fruit despite all that has been done, yet I will rejoice in the...

Today I reported for work and it is those type of work whereby there would be long stretches of not doing anything. We are a team of three and my colleague M brought along a book, me a laptop and newspapers and N, brought nothing. Let me tell you something about N. Let's call her Nurina. She is pregnant now. Although she is three months old pregnant, she looks like she is 11 months. I am not trying to be mean because I want to give hope to those sistas out there who are very overweight, that Nurina, who looks very huge, is pregnant! I am so happy for Nurina because she had a previous miscarriage. Because of the long stretches of having nothing to do because we had no customers, we started chatting. I knew that M was not close to Nurina and I knew that Nurina just crossed her 13 week. So when M went away to get something, I took the chance to ask after Nurina. I knew she was spotting some time back so I asked her about her spotting. Guess what? She told me it was not spotting! It ...

I told you that I would write a post to share with you how to receive Christ. Basically, why do people even consider becoming a Christian in the first place? Usually it is because they have huge needs in their lives. Some people can remain sane and continue thinking happy thoughts. Others just spiral downwards and if no one saves them, they will spiral right into bitterness or worse, depression. I believe I belong to the Others category, therefore, I need Christ. So, what is the meaning of I need Christ? Accepting Christ and becoming a Christian is not about going to church and donating money to church. Many pre-believers have this misconception. They think that they need to be very serious about going to church before they want to accept Christ which is to become a Christian, otherwise, they are hypocrites. This is not biblical. You do not have to go to church to become a Christian. All you need to do is to say a very simple prayer ALOUD with all your heart. Sinner's Prayer ...
