The protection of God
The protection of God for his people is evident throughout Scripture. We see it with the Israelites as they moved from Egypt in captivity to the promised land, with Abraham, David, Nehemiah, Daniel, Esther, Paul, etc. In our daily lives, it’s the testimonies we carry or the testimonies of others. However many times, we are […]
FAITH IN GOD
Our Faith is shaped by different things. For some it’s the promises of God written throughout scripture, what God has done in our lives previously, the testimonies of others, or because it’s the last choice/option left for us to take. Romans 4:18 GNT says that “Abraham believed and hoped, even when there was no reason […]
Fasting
Fasting is a time when we give up something we love (like food), and use that time to be in fellowship with God through prayer, worship, and reading the Word. It’s our investment in the spirit. We sacrifice something and petition for something. Jesus told us that a time would come for us to fast. […]
Giving to God
In the body of Christ, we can give in different ways, including money (offerings, tithes, and thanksgiving), our time, our talents, etc. Giving does not come easily for many of us as Christians. And we often will need the grace of God upon us for us to be able to give willingly and cheerfully. As […]
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a person of the Holy Trinity. This means, if we believe in God and Jesus Christ, then we should believe in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Thinking of any government, there is a president, ministers, members of parliament, local chairpersons, etc., and all these serve different roles at different points. And […]
The word of God
God speaks to us in so many ways. The word of God is certainly one of those ways. The word of God is the truth, the truth of God. The word of God was written by people under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we need to call on the Holy Spirit every time […]
The Grace of God
Someone once said, “If you have to work so hard for something and invest extra effort compared to others to get the same exact thing, just know the Grace of God was not present in that situation”. Sooooooooo, what is the Grace of God? Grace gives us things we don’t quite deserve (compared to […]
PRAYER
Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Prayer is a gentle invitation from us by God into his secret place and his greatness. Truly through prayer, God finds us, rather than us finding him. It’s like being in a dark room […]
The poor Patient
Recently at a coffee bar,I overheard a doctor say that his monthly taxes to the national revenue authority via the Pay as you Earn (P.A.Y.E) mandatory tax deductions could buy hypertension ( high blood pressure) drugs for two, level two health centers in Uganda for about half a year. A level four health center in Uganda is meant to serve a population […]

This week, there was a unique scenario of, a 32-year-old woman who came to the hospital for an elective cesarean section delivery and asked her obstetrician to conduct a permanent family planning method commonly known as Bilateral Tubal Ligation (BTL) during the cesarean delivery. The uncommon social issues that surround the case are that this […]
