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 ...

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...
