My Christian walk

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...

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. As...

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...

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 undermi...

Photo picked from unsplash.com I pray that before the 7th of April 2020, the world will be back to normal and that this Corona virus will be on its way into the past. Notwithstanding, it is such a pity that some families might not really be able to go back to normal after all this, due to the saddening loss of their loved ones. May the Lord surely strength such, and heal the wounds and the hurt, which only He can do. Since I'm going to be turning another year older on the Tuesday of  7th April 2020, and no doubt becoming a "more serious adult", I'd love to share six things that I wish I had learnt earlier. 1. Life doesn't happen, you make it happen. Most times I used to respond to circumstances, I would plan depending on what I think might happen. If it didn't happen, then I'd simply give up; or if something else interrupted the plan, then I'd run after the new thing. Right now i realize that it is always better to act than ...

Photo credit; Medpagetoday.com God made the earth and put man to rule over it and everything therein. But today, with the sudden rise and alarming spread of the Corona Virus, it appears to me that we have all run in the corner in such fear and trembling, and handed over all our authority to the Covid-19 pandemic. Like a soldier whose mandate is to protect his kingdom, even when an evil alien tries to attack, he puts on his full armor_ afraid or not_ and approaches the battle field with confidence . As children of God we obviously ought to take our precautions like everybody else: wash our hands, keep safe, wear our face masks, among others, but we need not 'run away' in fear and trembling,  we need not let our hearts get overly worried and anxious; for while we take the precautions, we ought to face this virus with confidence. This is our world, and our very first assignment is to rule over it (Genesis 1:28), including protecting it, which we can to...

Whether there is one right person for each of us or not is not what I intend to talk about today. Rather, in this post I purpose to share my opinion about waiting for the right one . Did you/do you ever find yourself sometimes with this kind of sentiment, "I'm patiently waiting for the right person in order to experience true love, to be loved and to love back, to tap into that genuine care, concern and passion for each other, with whom we shall go through life's mountains and valleys together and come out victorious."? Those moments when you feel like you just can't /couldn't wait for this intimate, intelligent person who totally adores you, which turns out to be such an amazing thing for you to believe. Needless to say, these are some of what constitute the characteristics of the ideal power-couple that we'd all admire. However, there is a something very important: "T here is no greater love than this; to lay down one's lif...
