Meet GloRilla. The so-called gospel singer that won the BET Award for Best Gospel/Inspirational Song at the 2025 BET Awards for her song "Rain Down On Me" featuring Kirk Franklin. So I had to pull some of her pictures from her Instagram page in order to send home my point. Jesus said in Matt 7:16, "By their fruits you shall know them." Our fruits is the physical evidence of our inward transformation. A good tree can't bear bad fruit neither can a bad tree bear good fruit (Matt 7:17). And looking at the person of GloRilla, it is clear she is obviously not born-again. When you say Gospel songs, you know that these are songs that glorifies God. But if we would look at what is happening, even Gospel songs have been reduced to entertainment.  Yes, they have lyrics that 'seem' to give God glory but clearly the person who singing this song is still very far from Him. So how does it work? Am I being judgemental? No. I am just sad that what white is called black ...

Comedian Arole weighed in on this question and his answer was a big NO. And I agree with him. For those who don't know BDSM is, BDSM stands for: B – Bondage D – Discipline D – Dominance S – Submission S – Sadism M – Masochism It refers to a wide range of consensual sexual practices that involve power dynamics, role-play, and physical stimulation—often pushing the boundaries of pain, control, and pleasure. I believe that there are three questions that should guide what we do during sex in marriage. 1. Is it mutual?  God created sex to be enjoyed by both man and wife, it shouldn't be one sided. If you want to try something new and your spouse is not comfortable with it, don't force them. Let your spouse be until he/she is ready for it. 2. Is it safe?   Some couples engage in extreme sexual activities that can endanger their health or their life.  For instance: participating in degrading practices such as sadistic bondage rituals , asphyxiation (where couples are actually ar...

Do you know that parenting is a ministry? Sometimes we take our parenting role for granted not knowing that it is our God given responsibility to be intentional about raising godly children. We take every other thing serious, but we neglect our role as parents. We want to succeed in our career, if you are a pastor you want succeed in your church ministry and yet we fail to pay attention to succeeding in the ministry of parenting. Whereas in our list of priority, our children should come first. Some time back, I was thinking about the fact that one day my children would have to leave the house, stand on their own and make their own decisions and I became a little scared. But God showed my something in Isaiah 60:2 while I was confessing and meditating on that Scripture. Let me share with you what I believe from God's perspective is every parent's primary assignment in their children's life, and it is not financial security. It is not education. Whilst all these things are nec...

Pastor Michael Todd is well known for courting controversies. The latest is his sermon on the 27th of April, 20th where he wore a feminine attire. This so far has brought up so much criticisms on the pastor and his choice of clothes. What was his motive for wearing this? Was there a message behind it? Is this right for a Christian, or more a pastor who has millions of followers listening to him to dress so effeminate? Is this godly or outright worldly? I personally think this is purely a blend of worldliness with Christianity. I really want to know pst Michael Todd's motive for doing this. Thank God that God sees the heart and out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth will always speak (Luke 6:45). We are living in confusing times. Let's be weary and vigilant. Forget about the charisma. Look at the fruits because it's by their fruits you shall know them (Matthew 7:15:20). What do you think?

 I believe there are about 5 things that can hinder God's word from working in our lives.  These same 5 things are those things that give the devil a legal ground to operate in our lives and mess us up. 1. Ignorance  2. Unbelief or lack of faith or doubt  3. Fear, or worry or anxiety  4. Wrong Motives  5. A lifestyle of disobedience. But in this video, I want to zero in on ignorance. Watch this eye opening video and tell me what you think.

Artificial intelligence is causing a serious crisis in South Korea right now. They call it a deepfake porn crisis. For those who don't know what Deepfake porn is, it is a sexually explicit content that has been digitally altered using artificial intelligence (AI) to superimpose someone’s face—usually without their consent—onto the body of another person in a pornographic video or image thus generating a highly realistic but fake visual content. It can be used to target dignitaries, celebrities, influencers, or even private individuals. And that means that with this tool, nobody is safe. As long as your picture is out there, anyone can use it to create an explicit deepfake and implicate you even when you've never taken or sent a nude photo. Watch full video on YouTube.

Tuned in to watch DayStar like I usually do every other morning only to find that Evangelist Marcus Lamb, the owner of DatStar Christian TV has passed on. He fell ill and died shortly after from Covid-19 complications. He was diabetic, and thus at an increased risk of serious illness should he be infected. Deeply saddening. He will be so missed but I believe he is with Jesus now. May God comfort his wife, Joni, and the rest of his family in this difficult period. He was said to have died around 4am of 30th November, 2021. Sleep well Marcus Lamb.

I had such a great time talking on this topic 'Choosing a life partner that fits into your forever'. Hahaha! I had to break it down into chunks for easy understanding by answering these questions: 1. What do you think is people's greatest fear when it comes to marriage or relationships? 2. Is marriage outdated? 3. What are some of the relationship mistakes that you think people make on their journey to choosing a life partner? 4. An unhealthy relationship is already a red flag when it comes to choosing a life partner. How does one identify a healthy relationship? 5. What are those necessary questions we should ask ourselves before we can say confidently, "Yes, I know he or she is the one I can share my forever with"? Please watch it and leave your comments. And yes...share with your friends. Lol.

A spiritual awakening Game experienced after reading the Bible and attending church was the inspiration for the album.  The rapper publicly declared that he was baptized at Bishop Noel Jones' City of Refuge Church in Gardena, California in 2011 but has struggled to completely let go of his former lifestyle.  "The album is called Jesus Piece, and it's basically about wanting to be a Christian, right?" he explained to Sister 2 Sister magazine. "But not wanting to change all the things that I love doing. Like, you know, I've been baptized. I go to church. I love God ... but at the same time, I love going to strip clubs. Sometimes I smoke marijuana. And I still love drinking alcohol and chilling. I don't want to be judged for that ... so that's what the album is about." The rapper explained his reasoning for the deluxe artwork to MTV News: "I did the album cover the way I wanted to. It embodies part of my career, my life; it's all in that co...

A self-proclaimed Christian OnlyFans model, Nita Marie, says that stripping for strangers online is what God wants her to do. “I asked God if I should continue stripping off and the answer was always yes.” Marie believes it’s her divine mission to empower other women to embrace their sexuality. She claims to have become a Christian after having a dream about Jesus when she was 9 years old. Although she was not raised in a religious household, she became more spiritual and tried to build a relationship with Christ — without all the misogyny. She said, "That experience helped me seek out Christianity and I built a relationship with Christ on a personal level, rather than one filled with doctrine written by men thousands of years ago,” Marie asserted that Christianity has suppressed women’s sexuality from the beginning, but she believes this is not what God intended. To her, God gave her sexuality as a gift to share with others, where both parties are consensual. "I want t...

 Powerful! When God opened my eyes to this, I was like "Wow!"  It's funny how often we read or study a particular Scripture but it does not just hit you until...! Lol. Amazing. This article is one of such times for me. I was studying James 2:14-26 with the Message Bible and NKJV and things stood out even better. Join me on this table: "You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and they tremble!" How many times have you come across this verse in the Bible and you quickly move past it to the next? But this particular verse opened my eyes further to what faith and actions really is all about. Let me explain. There are so many people out there who  believe that God exists or that Jesus is the Son of God. Yes, they believe that Jesus died for their sins, was buried and rose again, but that's where it ends for them. There is no accompanying works (or actions) to back up their faith. Even demons believe and they tremble but there is no...

 Erm...I am not a relationship expert. I no reach😃. I am just a simple woman learning on the go after being married for 11yrs and counting.  Truth is - no one, no matter how long they have been in a relationship or been married, can ever claim to be an expert in love, relationship and marriage matters. But I know SOMEONE who is the real relationship Expert. And He wants us to take His hand as we go through this heart-warming experience. His name is GOD. And when He is at the centre of our everything (including marriage), be sure it will turn out amazing💥. There is no perfect marriage. Marriage is a school where we are all in the process of learning and growing, and it's for life🙂. We make mistakes, we learn from those mistakes and keep moving forward. But it doesn't change the fact that marriage is beautiful. And every beautiful marriage starts by choosing a life partner that fits into your forever. But how do we do this? Join me on this Saturday by 2pm on @lighterssphere F...

This was written by a man who spent 23 minutes in hell. His  name is Bill Weise. "On Nov. 23, 1998, I had an out-of-body experience which falls under the classification of a "vision" (see 2 Cor. 12:1-2). It was not a dream or a near-death experience. The Lord chose to take me to hell in my spirit man. If you could see hell for just five seconds, you would never be arrogant, self-righteous or rebellious toward God again. You would run to Him with extreme gratitude and humility and ask for His forgiveness. If you could see hell for just five seconds you would never take God's name in vain again. You would thank Him every day for the rest of your life for providing the way of salvation. You would thank God that you are still breathing and have hope. The fact is that you won't see hell while you are still alive. Salvation requires faith in what Jesus did for you on the cross. Salvation requires a purposeful act on your part ... before you die. If you say you need to ...

There is a connection between prosperity and our actions. And I want to show you if you will keep up with me. What I am doing via these articles is to show you what God has shown me, and it's simply amazing. James 1:22,25 says, "But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves...But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty (the Word) and continues in it , and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does ." Notice the statement 'he will be blessed (prosper) in what he does'. Prosperity comes by doing what the Word requires. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!...
