Why can't I hear God Speaking, Yet it Seems Every Other Christian Does?

photo adopted from unsplash.com Somehow, I have personally found it easier when it comes to hearing God's voice. Today, it's  very common to hear people saying, "God told me this or that, ..." It can get a little bothering when it seems like you are the only person in your circle who doesn't ever really get to hear God's voice. Before we go any farther with the question, let us look at the ways through which God speaks: His word Dreams Visions  Inner still small voice Convictions (knowings) Audible external voice Prophets or preachers or teachers or elders. In regard to hearing God's voice, I think it is important to note that: 1. our God is not limited to any of the above ways of communication, as evidenced by Balaam in the book of Numbers 22:28, when God chose to use a donkey to speak to him. 2. the Bible is the most reliable way of hearing God's voice, and that any other voice ought to agree, support or r

Taking charge of this quarantine

Image
photo; unsplash.com I happen to have started my home-quarantine experience one week before the President of the Republic of Uganda called for one nationally. I slept and woke up, ate and slept, woke up and slept again. After I'd done that for about ten days, making it 3 days into the national quarantine, I realized that these movement restrictions were not about to end the following day, and that they were to become my new normal. So I had to figure out how to make it work for me, as opposed to just letting the days pass by. I would therefore love to share with you what is making this quarantine work in my favour, despite all the imaginable disadvantages at hand. Disclaimer:  Even though this post is addressing the positives in this quarantine situation, I pray that it doesn't at any point seem to make light of the chaos and suffering that have come as a result of this pandemic economically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically and all around.

Invitation for guests on the blog.

Come let's blog together! Most of us have revelations, ideas or wonderful experiences that we'd love to share with others. These, when shared, could change someone's life, although we may not usually know how, or even when to share our stories. Or maybe we might know, but we just aren't ready to dig into the nitty-gritties, the management, and sometimes the unavoidable stress that come with running a blog, a YouTube channel or any similar media platform. Worry no more, I got you! Please go ahead and share your article to nabbossadianah@gmail.com, with the email subject as: Guest Blogger. Also, please include the following in the email body: - Article Heading - Word Count -  Genre - Author Name (not forgetting your social media handles too). And I'll be more than excited to serve with you :) Why should I "share myself" with the world? Well, why not? Personally, I share my experiences to help another person.   " Th

Questioning some Christian Traditions

Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that." (Mark 7:9-13) The first time I met this Bible verse, it got me thinking:  how many things have been handed down to me that nullify  the word of God? To  nullify  means to make of no use or no value; to cancel out.  This simply means that there are traditions, actions that we have grown up doing and our parents grew up doing that disrespect or undermine the word o
