When God Teaches the Teacher.

Back in 2021, we had a wonderful teaching on The Three Hebrew Boys.

Seven lessons stood out from that moment:

1. We should not forget who we are. We are in this world but not of it. (John 17)

2. We should not become like those who are of the world. We are a holy nation and a royal priesthood. (1 Peter 2)

3. God is able to help us at every point in our lives — don’t involve Him at the last minute.

4. Sometimes we actually suffer for doing the right thing.

5. We should be a positive influence to our friends. It was Daniel who decided and influenced his three friends.

6. We need friends who can encourage and pray with us — it might just save our lives.

7. We should not take credit for things others contributed to.


It was one of those teachings that felt simple yet solid — one that stays with you quietly.


This year, I shared those notes with Mwai, the brother who had taught that lesson back then, and his response opened my eyes even more. He said:

“I’ve never forgotten that sermon because of how I received it. 😂 I was walking back from the supermarket and I told God, ‘Everybody knows about the three Hebrew boys. Show me something I or they don’t know.’ Nothing happened immediately. But when I got home and started praying in the Spirit, pictures and points began to flow through my mind. It was like I was being taught — not writing, just receiving. A lot of ahaa moments. I just told the Holy Spirit, ‘You see how you’ve taught me, teach them tomorrow.’”


That’s the part that got me.

How God answers prayers is rarely predictable, but always personal.

Mwai didn’t get a thunderous revelation on the road — he got pictures and points during prayer. He didn’t plan a sermon — he received a lesson.


The same God who walked with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire, still walks with His servants in preparation. He doesn’t just show up in the furnace; He shows up in the quiet moments before it.


When God gives you insight, He’s not just feeding your mind — He’s feeding those who’ll sit under your voice later.

So if you’ve ever prayed, “Lord, show me something I don’t know,” and it feels silent, don’t be discouraged. Keep walking. Keep praying. The revelation may not meet you on the road, but it will surely meet you in the room.


Because when God decides to teach the teacher, the whole class gets blessed.


Brother Mwai is one soldier and servant of our Lord. He was saved, he's been saved and I believe God that he will live on to been saved. If I would speak of an iron that God has used to sharpen me, it's this brother. May he live long enough to put my body in the ground and continually minister and serve the nations of this world.

I was wrong about marriage.

Image
Someone once joked and said that “Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.” No marriage, no divorce, right?😀🤦 But seriously, we live in wild times. People are marrying same gender, animals, themselves—even inanimate objects. And guess what? Some of these are legal in certain societies. But what did marriage originally mean? Biblically, it started with KNOWING  😉 — yes, sex. Adam saw Eve, liked her, and knew her. No priest. No parents. No papers. That got me thinking: when does marriage actually start? I've asked around — “ When did you get married? ” The answers are all over the place. To share a few, some say, “Wedding day.” Others, “When we paid dowry.” while others say, “When we started living together.” Again, is it either of them or some of them combined? But those factors didn't exist in Eden. So I turned to God with the same question. His answer? “ WHEN YOU COMMIT TO HER. ” Not when you sleep with her. Not when you sign papers. Not even when your guardians approve...

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.  ...

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 lad 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 f...
