Present Help

Yesterday, when I finished my chore, the Holy Spirit encouraged me to help out my cousin who was still doing the dishes. He wasn't using the indoor sink, yet the scorching sun had risen, and it takes him about an hour to clear everything. When I scrubbed the pans, in total, we spent about 30 …

Fundamentals & Mantles

Speed, distance, convenience ... These are fundamentals I was thinking about prior writing. Legs can't be compared to a bicycle. A bicycle can't be compared to a motorcycle. Wait! I think they can be! That's exactly what I am doing! The pedestrian won't go as far as the cyclist. If the distance is the same, …

Seed & Bread

2 Corinthians 9:10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.

Sons of Issachar

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. Haggai 1:2 "Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: 'This people says, "The time has not come, …

His Time

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He hath made every [thing] beautiful in HIS TIME: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Some versions say God has made everything beautiful in ITS time. In simple English, if it's not …

Time for Everything

A neighbor of ours still has their Christmas decorations out in form Christmas lights. Traditionally, in Uganda, by 6th January, the festive decor is down even if the festive mood could still be lingering. Just as I continued observing the flickering lights, God whispered to me saying, "Just like how those lights are overdue, many …

The Purpose of Patience

So I have been studying this portion of scripture in Habakkuk, and I have only gained more appreciation for patience. It says: Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely …

Light Defines Time 2: Day & Night

One time I asked God why time travels much faster at night than during day! From my experience, the days look long. But that's maybe because by 7a.m we are up and not down by 7p.m. Though 12 hours are allocated each, we stay awake longer than we are asleep. We rise at 7/6a.m , …

The Clock in the Sitting Room

I stay near the church I pray from on Sundays. This particular Sunday, I woke up 15 minutes to 8am. Service starts at 9am. I skedaddled. I had to do the dishes, and trust me, I was very very fast! Notwithstanding, I passed by the sitting room clock at home. It displayed the time as …

Time Folds

I've just attended a cousin's wedding meeting where I was asked to give a concluding prayer. I shied away. They insisted. I began to pray. I declared Deuteronomy 28 starting, then I went on to speak into the big day. I summarized all that I could, only for my extended family to open their eyes …

Numbering Our Days

So, teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. (Psalm 90:12) Recently, when I slept, this verse appeared as one long dream from the start of my sleeping to the end of it. I woke up with my heart troubled for a reason I do not know. I tried …

Time Zones

Have you ever thought about it? The fact that one can’t move without time advancing. Time has become a measure of distance; that is to say, to move from Naalya to Luwero (L’O pronounced as if saying LA, which is Los Angeles in short), one needs an hour and thirty minutes. You can’t talk about …

Serendipity!

This word means an ‘unplanned fortunate discovery’. On 1st October, I headed out to go to a supermarket to buy some deodorant spray, but I had forgotten to carry something important. My mind was on other things, admiring the sun and stuff, but I had forgotten to carry something important. I finally reached the highway, …

Light Defines Time

In the beginning, the earth was void. Later on when God's spirit hovered over the earth, God created the Light and separated it from the darkness. Verses later, God makes other lights. The sun to rule over day and the moon & stars to rule over the night. Notice that the darkness also receives stars …
