The Devil Didn’t Do Everything

This might offend a few people. But if every bad decision is the devil’s fault, when exactly do we become responsible for our own lives?

One Battle Too Soon

The tragic cost of impatience, and the heartbreaking detail in Joshua that most readers walk right past.

I was in junior secondary school, living with my parents. I had done something wrong, and as was common in many Nigerian homes at the time, discipline often came with a serious consequence. The mere thought of my father’s belt was enough to inspire what I believed was a brilliant plan…

A rare red-coated cow stands alone in a sparse, ancient landscape at golden hour. No people. No buildings. Just the animal, the ochre dust beneath it, and a vast sky beginning to deepen into orange and red. The light catches the animal's coat, making it seem almost luminous. Painted in the style of J.M.W. Turner, impressionistic yet detailed, warm light dominating the frame. Mood: the weight of the obscure, ancient things that carry enormous meaning, the beauty inside a difficult ritual. Epic scale, intimate subject.

The Paradox of the Red Heifer

Why those who free others get contaminated — and what an obscure Levitical law reveals about sustainable ministry, leadership, and the one who bore it all.

Your Feed Is Feeding on You

Social media isn’t just something we consume — it’s also consuming us. Psychologically, emotionally, even spiritually. What feels like harmless scrolling is often a silent exchange… and what you think you’re feeding on may also be feeding on you, unconsciously.

A lone man, seen from behind, stands barefoot before a massive acacia tree consumed entirely by brilliant golden fire, yet the surrounding desert is untouched. The night sky stretches vast and starlit above him. His posture is not one of terror but of stunned stillness, shoulders slightly dropped, one sandal lying on the ground beside him. The fire reflects in the sand around his feet. Ultra-wide cinematic frame, IMAX ratio, deep contrast between the cool midnight blue of the desert and the intense warm fire. Mood: the moment God interrupts an ordinary life with an extraordinary call. Shot on ARRI Alexa, anamorphic lens flare.

Unqualified and Unstoppable: The Dangerous Prayer of Availability

What if the very thing disqualifying you in your own eyes is precisely what God is waiting on? A reflection on the biblical pattern of the chosen few, and the terrifying, liberating prayer that unlocks it.

Appointed Once to Die

I checked my phone expecting an ordinary morning, but what I heard instead was a cry that changed everything. Someone had died.

An elderly man, clearly in his final years, sitting at a simple wooden table at the edge of a vast landscape. He is writing. The sunset behind him is extraordinary, golden and wide, suggesting the end of a great life. But his pen is still moving. His work is not finished. The image speaks of legacy, of creating something that will outlast the writer. Cinematic, deeply moving, photorealistic.

The Song That Outlasted Empires: Creating Work That Echoes in Eternity

Most of what we create will not matter when we are gone. That is fine. Not everything needs to.

“You Have It Easy.”

Look at you. Life has been so kind to you. You get things easily. Work, funds… everything. That was what someone said to me one day. And when the words landed, there was this awkward pause. Because… what do you even say to something like that?

A large, ancient stone rock in a dry wilderness landscape. From a crack in the rock, impossibly clear and abundant water pours out, catching the sunlight and flowing across the parched ground. The contrast between the dead stone and the living water is breathtaking. No human figure visible. The rock and the water tell the entire story. Wide cinematic shot, warm golden desert light, photorealistic and deeply symbolic.

The Rock We Strike: When Leaders Misrepresent Christ’s Sufficient Sacrifice

We strike the Rock when we lead with anger instead of grace, when we take credit instead of giving glory…
