Keep the faith

“I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.”
- 2 timothy 4:7

As a pastor, one of the greatest joys in life is to see those whom we have nurtured rise up and become great servants of God. Conversely, one of the greatest pain in life is when we see those we have nurtured backslide and turn away from God. Many young people begin their walk with much fire and enthusiasm. In their younger days, they would turn up in church every Saturday and Sunday to do all sorts of things. They would serve from cleaning to worship-leading. However, the sad thing is, when they graduate from school they think they also should graduate from church as well. Once they begin their career, money or their spouses takes over the place of God in their lives. The problem lies in fact that their realities, but we have a choice. As Christians, we are called not to be sprinters but distance runners. Our journey with Him is a long-haul affair. The reward is only given to those who have fought the good fight, have finished the race and have kept the faith. It is not how well you begin the race that earns you the price but how faithfully you end it!

The Cutting- Edge of Faith

“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”
Hebrews 11:1

Faith is a very important element in our walk with God.
It is not the same as self confidence or positive thinking.
It is not hyping up ourselves emotionally.
It is a conviction within our inner man.
It is the ability to see the invisible.
It is the realization that things promised will come to pass.
It does not originate from man but from God, the creator.
It comes to us when we trust Him (Word) entirely.
Without faith in our spiritual walk, we will be weak and apathetic.
Worst still, we cannot even please Him. We will lose enthusiasm to move on.
However, when we have faith, we can create a dream in the spiritual realm and bring it into reality. We can see and bring plans from the supernatural into the natural.
We can partner with god to do and accomplish what He has purposed for us.
Friends, don’t take this lightly. Without faith, our lives will deteriorate. Faith is not stagnant. Its nature is to conquer new grounds. Build up your faith today and begin to explore this exciting journey that you can have with God. I believe once you have found Him, your life will never be the same again. It will be colorful and wonderful!

my heart says..

Im not a theological seminary student neither am I a bible school graduate, im just a person who desire to see God to revive this city where I am serving…

I came to a point where I realized that I lived in a broken and fatherless generation
Most of the youths that I know came from broken and dysfunctional families (like me), some just lost their father, some are sexually abused etc…

There’s this urgency in my heart to intercede for this generation and for my people.
Somehow I don’t know what God desire to do. but one thing for sure HE wanted to restore this generation… as he has started to do that in my family. Restoration between my parents and us, their children (I’ll share that in my next article)…

It was like, last month while worshipping, I understood the bigger picture what He has in mind.. I know and believe he’s going to move in a ways that I cant comprehend.i don’t know when it will take place but one thing for sure I don’t want to missed this move of God. I want to be like ‘obed’ in the old testament. In David’s time, where the ark of the Lord is there obed will be, serving the Lord. I want to be a person who will prepare the coming of the Lord, anointed as a song leader. there I will give my whole being as I was given this responsibility to lead the congregation, to bring them into deep worship and prepare the way for the coming of God thru the talent and gift things that I have.

Living a holy and blameless life is what im doing now. Letting God deal with me and build up my character… It’s though! But I know His grace will pull me through…

There’s this passion burning in my heart for my God even in the midst of ‘dry season’, turmoil and suffering. A passion to see His kingdom come and His will to be done…

The past and present


Yesterday I laughed out loud
Today I weep bitterly
Yesterday was spring time
Today its winter, cold and dark
Yesterday I saw the fig tree bloom
Today I saw it pass away
Yesterday was beautiful Sunday
Today is Monday, Monday blues
Yesterday I dance gracefully in his vineyard
Today I lay down on the street with ashes
Yesterday we were friends
Today he’s a memory
A bittersweet memory

You are who you are for a reason

last night as i glide thru my old notebooks i saw this card and a poem written from a good friend of mine.. it touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes...

many times we forget that God loves us simply for who we are... be bless:)


You are who you are for a reason
Your birth was not a mistake nor an accident.
You are here, created and molded for something special
You are unique and lovingly knitted on your mothers womb
In preparation for the future yet you do not have known.


You are who you are for a reason
The time, place and parents you have
Is an intricate plan planned by above.
You have no choice and cannot argue with it,
But to accept what is bestowed on you.


In time, you are created out of nothing
You grew out of nothing and worth nothing
Very few recognizes you and an outcast to many,
Yet, God redeemed you to lead.
For countless souls lost in a maze.


Every step you make has many obstacles on it,
Yet amidst earthquake, thunderstorm nor tsunamis
Cannot hinder the love you have to the maker,
For you are who you are for a reason.

better is one day with You...

There’s a lot of ‘fun’ stuff we’re going to do this weekend with my families, tons of activities, and yesterday i went shopping with my girlfriends…
after all the fun and laughs, im alone in my room that night...
my heart whispered "nothing satisfies me"… and its true.NOTHING!
I just felt everything is meaningless… like what the author of Ecclesiastes wrote…
Everything is meaningless… it’s like chasing the wind…

My heart desire for something more, something deeper, something intimate that can fill my hunger, deep, deep down within my soul…

Better to be in the chamber of my Beloved for one day rather than one thousand days outside…



What pleasure can please the heart of men and his soul?...
Melodious sonnet?
Physical intimacy? worldly recognition?
Wine ? wealth ? beauty ?

Everything is rubbish compare to the beauty of my Beloved…
His breath delight my longing soul
His love intoxicate my broken heart



Before the sun rises to shine my Beloved called me unto His holy mountain
There, as I sit in His presence...a place where i want to be… where infinite deity and finite creature met…
Where angels and demons are in silence as my spirit kissed HIS Spirit
O what a blissful joy!…


Better is one day in your courts than thousands else where…
