My Hero

My hero is nothing like those you see in the movies or comic books. She has no cape or fancy outfit. No quick and witty sidekick. Her superpowers are not what you would expect or even respect. Selfless, humble, and persevering she stands perfectly wrapped in bold dark skin. Skin baked and cracked by the relentless African sun. Skin that would glow if only she gave it a chance. If only she treated it the way she did me and my siblings. The way she did Father. Father who comes home every night to a beautiful smile and a warm meal, even though his response is almost always a tired grunt. Sitting on a stool in the backyard washing the vegetables, I discreetly watch Mother pounding away in the late morning sun. With the back of her hand, she pauses to wipe the sweat off her brow before continuing to plunge the pestle powerfully onto the content of the mortar. Again and again, she pounds away. Singing joyfully into the clear skies, you will never guess Father almost shouted the roof do...

How to Effectively Manage Relationships

Matthew 22:36-40 (NKJV) “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” The second greatest commandment is all about relationships, but how many of us in church are intentional about managing our relationships properly? The Bible is very clear and redundant on the importance of living peacefully with each other, but unfortunately many of us are passive about it. Romans 13:8-10 (NKJV) Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are...

Can We Please Get "Focus on the Family" in Africa?

I was talking to a good friend recently and she was sharing about a Togolese man who recently moved to the US and who has been greatly influenced by John Piper. He told her something that has been on my heart for years now. Something I first shared in the post I titled: The Paradox of African Christianity . My opinion is that Africans do not need more international missionaries to tell them about Jesus. Most African countries are already deeply religious. The many megachurches on the continent can afford to sponsor any additional evangelism efforts. What we need is DISCIPLESHIP. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God . (NKJV) Many Africans confess Jesus as Lord, but have barely been transformed even after years of being saved. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal,...

Do I Have to Tithe as a Christian?

It is sometimes shocking to see how much this subject causes division within the body of Christ. Tithing is a biblical principle that many Christians have a hard time accepting because it tests not only our generosity but also our faith. This post will attempt to shed some light on what the Bible has to say about tithing, and why it is still relevant in the life of today's Christian. When it comes to teaching on tithing, the most common passage referenced is Malachi 3:8-10 . Three things stand out to me from this passage: We as mere humans can steal from God... meaning He is ENTITLED to a portion of what we have. When we withhold it, we are holding on to what is not really ours in the first place. Tithing has purpose. It is God's provision for His house and for His work. Those who work in God's house have a right to live off tithes. Tithing is an opportunity to receive extraordinary blessing from God. It is an instruction with a reward directly attached to it. The argument ...

Three Pan-African Voices Worth Listening To

What is Pan-Africanism? Pan-Africanism is a movement that advocates for the unity, solidarity, and empowerment of African nations and peoples, both on the continent and in the African diaspora. The core idea is that all people of African descent share common interests, challenges, and a history of colonialism and oppression, and therefore, should work together to achieve social, political, and economic equality. Today, the most critical aspects of Pan-Africanism are still unity, identity, and empowerment. Unity: The idea that African countries and peoples, regardless of national borders , are one and should unite to be stronger on the global stage. Identity: The importance of celebrating, promoting, and preserving African cultures, traditions, and heritage as a means of building self-esteem especially in the face of globalization and strong Western influence. Social and Economic Empowerment: The economic independence of African nations and the need to address ineq...
