I remember a phenomenon called positive feedback mechanism I learnt in 2nd year physiology class. In simple terms, it is when the presence of one activity instigates the production of a hormone, in turn that hormone keeps the activity running. So it's kinda like a loop. If A is present, it stimulates the production of B. For instance it's going to be a bit technical but stay with me, when a mom gives birth, a hormone called oxytocin is produced. This hormone is responsible fo

The Bible from Genesis to Revelation tells a single story of how God saved mankind. Throughout the Bible we see God for tell His redemption plan through types and shadows or straight up word for word prophecies.  Let's take a look at some of them today. 🎄 Genesis 3:15 NIV [15] And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This was right after we had messed up and before being kick

Mr. chairman, panel of judges, accurate time keeper, I stand here to make a case for Christmas joy. My aim is to make it a distinct feature separate from whatever man-made Christmas traditions we have built. Christmas joy here is basically the joy we feel during Christmas season. I hear many of my peers lament how Christmas is not the same festival they were used to when growing up. “Christmas used to be fun when we were younger”, they say. Our parents did their best to make

It's not as if I forget that the Lord is good or that He's capable of turning the worst of situations around, I just wish to have it re-echoed by another human. A gentle touch, a set of genuine eyes looking deep into my soul, a warm hug, a pat on the back and these beautiful words flowing from their lips;"Juliana, God will do it",”Be strong and of good faith, your God has gone ahead of you", "This too shall pass".  That seldomly happens because I tend to carry it all in silen

ART for the purposes of this post is every expression of a person towards their divine purpose. Even in conventional terms, art doesn't have a fixed meaning, it is a fluid expression of human thought and emotion. So when I mention art here, don't let your mind drift only to the Monalisa or one of Beethoven classics, think about the work you have a sense of purpose towards. If you are a small business owner, a little social media influencer, a budding philanthropist, a dilige

Slowly her mind drifted to that fateful afternoon when numerous men surrounded her house. Wearing a red robe she had hurriedly put on as they banged the door, she and her lover were running frantically up and down the room trying to find a way of escape. One bang came at the door, then another until the door came crashing down. There stood men, about 20 of them, eyes bloodshot with rage. “There they are”, a lanky looking man screamed. The woman found herself being yanked by t

I wish preachers would spend more time preaching the Word than telling us their experiences. This is a slippery one because I think many of them genuinely have good intentions and are just trying to make sure that whatever point they're making is practical to their audience. But you'll look back at a 2 hour sermon and there's one solid hour of “when we were in school”, “there was one time”, “I remember”. Then it begs to ask, is this a personal story telling session or a place
