The choice is yours.

Revelation almost sounds like Re-val-etion, doesn’t it? Fitting, because this is one document I enjoy revisiting repeatedly—it unveils how our Lord will return and set everything right.  


Earlier, the disciples had asked Jesus about when these events would take place and how they would unfold. His response was clear: only the Father knows the exact timing of these things (Matthew 24:36). Jesus went on to say that neither He nor the angels knew the dates.  


However, it seems God later chose to reveal HOW things will happen, though not WHEN. This revelation flowed directly from the Father, through Jesus, through an angel, and finally to John (Revelation 1:1-2). There's a good chance that even other angels remain unaware of the full details—unless they can somehow read the vision John recorded.  


So, whenever I hear believers say, "The book of Revelation is too hard to understand," I immediately recognize the enemy's tactic: he wants to keep this hope hidden. Why? Because when believers understand Revelation, they see God’s ultimate plan for victory and restoration.  


One day will mark the beginning of something entirely new for humanity—a Day One that resets everything. The God who created the heavens and the earth, finishing His creation with mankind (Genesis 1), is now restoring what was corrupted by Lucifer. And He’s doing it in reverse order: starting with hearts. He’s making new men and women through the transformation of their hearts and the renewal of their minds (Romans 12:2). For those who are born again, that’s just the beginning. One day, He will make “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1), where only those transformed by His grace will dwell.  


As for the rest? They will be confined to hell and eventually the lake of fire, a place originally prepared for Lucifer and his rebellious angels (Matthew 25:41). But if someone lives and behaves like the enemy, where else would they belong?  


The choice is yours. You can be born again and be transformed to dwell with the Lord in eternity, or you can remain as you are—untransformed—and watch the events of Revelation unfold, only to face eternal regret.  


So, go ahead—read the book of Revelation. It’s both the end and the beginning. The ultimate story of restoration.

When the firstborn dies.

Everything Changes When a Firstborn Dies. Today, I found myself reflecting on ancient Egypt—specifically, during the reign of the Pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph (Exodus 1:8). It was a time of great power, but also of great sorrow, especially when things took a tragic turn. Now, you might know the story, but let's revisit it a bit. Joseph, the shepherd boy and his father’s favorite, found himself in a bit of a pickle. His brothers, tired of his dreams and his fancy coat, sold him off to some merchants. These merchants then sold Joseph as a slave in Egypt. Fast forward a few years, and our boy Joseph had climbed the ranks in Egypt, from slave to leader. He was well-known, respected, and even had a family. Then, a severe drought struck, and Egypt, under Joseph’s brilliant management, became the region’s breadbasket. It’s said that the grain stores were so full that they stopped keeping records (Genesis 41:49). This abundance attracted people from all over, including Joseph’s own...

Dear Parents, pray.

Image
Parenting is not just physical care—it is spiritual warfare. The story of Abraham and Lot (Genesis 18-19) teaches us that we cannot assume our children will follow God simply because we raised them in the faith. We must intercede  for them as well. Below is a structured prayer guide based on this biblical account to help guardians stand in the gap for their children.   1. A Prayer of Surrender: Acknowledging God’s Authority. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25) Prayer : Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that You alone are the righteous Judge. You see the hearts of my children better than I do. I surrender them to You, knowing that only Your wisdom, mercy, and love can truly transform them. Help me trust Your ways even when I don’t understand them. Declaration : I release my children(insert names) into Your hands, Lord. You created them, and You know their future. I will not live in fear but in faith that You are working in their lives.  ...

Inheritance wasters

Image
Having lived in a village setup for almost two years now, I’ve had the rare privilege of not just hearing but also seeing  inheritance stories—some that end in peace and others that would make you cry.   But nothing beats the story in scripture about a certain guardian who toiled for years to secure his two children, only for the plot to take a " Wacha tu " turn. The younger son boldly demanded his share, squandered it on what we’d now call “soft life gone wrong,” and returned home looking like he’d lost a wrestling match with life. Meanwhile, the elder son lived in his father’s house but with the attitude of a squatter—completely unaware that the remaining property was his (Luke 15:11-32).   Now, who’s to blame here? The guardians? Did they hand over the inheritance too soon? Or maybe they failed to clarify to the elder son that “ Boss, everything here is yours! ”? Or perhaps the problem lies with the children. One was a waster, the other a grumbler. Maybe they...
