The Mission of Moses
The story of Moses is interesting. He was born during a time where an order was given for every male child to be killed. This was all part of Pharaoh’s plan to control the Israelites due to fear that they may betray Egypt by joining forces with their enemies and wage war on the land [...]
Looking onto Jesus (Fb live)
Hey everyone, I don't normally share videos on this blog but I felt led by the Lord to share this video with you all on this platform. This video was recorded last month on Facebook live. I pray that this video encourages you and reminds you to look to Jesus as you run this race. [...]
I will bless the Lord or will I? ~ Psalm 34:1
I will bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth – Psalm 34:1 (NRSV). Let’s break it down in another way… I will bless [exalt] the Lord at all [not some of the time, not whenever I feel like it, or when my situation is favourable] [...]
Lord, I need you
If you've backslidden (or backsliding) and you feel ashamed, I want to encourage you that it's not too late to come back to God. Don't allow the enemy to trap you in guilt and shame. Don't camp in condemnation Romans 8:1 says "There is, therefore, no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" 1 [...]
The Cross over the costs
The picture above is a net. When Jesus approached Peter and Andrew casting their net into the sea, he said to the “Follow me, I will make you fish for people”. Now, I’m studying the book of Matthews at the moment and what I have noticed, is that, every time Jesus said to his chosen [...]
You Will Get There!
I want to share a moment that happened last year and what I learnt from it. Last year, it was my first year of university and I remember that I was running late for my lecture. Usually I get there 10 minutes early so that I can attend my lecture on time and I still [...]
FOCUS: August Growth Journal
This month, I learnt that worship is indeed a weapon. God has been teaching me where I place my eyes and challenged me on what I worship. I find that whatever seems “bigger than me” is where I place all of my attention and project all of my fears. For example, if someone is afraid [...]

Change your response
So last Sunday, I was playing the keyboard for the evening service. Unfortunately there were technical difficulties and that affected the volume and my background pad music. I can remember very strongly being unimpressed with what was going on and I wasn't playing my best. During this particular moment, I remember thinking "I can't wait [...]
Strip me back: What February taught me
Even though it’s almost the end of March, I wanted to share my growth from February to now. This is going to be raw, honest and transparent. I thought about not sharing this but refrained from the idea. But now, in this growth journal – what I go through is not meant to be hidden [...]
Give God your time
“Time flies”, a phrase that has been echoed over and over again. There always seems to be a huge emphasis on time. Wherever we go – time is always on our mind, how we spend it, what we do with the time given and how to make sure that time doesn’t slip from our fingertips. [...]
Change your perspective
Three days ago, I bought a bouquet which is featured in this blog for one of my close friends who graduated from bible college. I'm so proud of you Melissa and Melinda (if you're reading this). During that afternoon I looked at this bouquet and thought to myself "Gee it's not that much". I messaged one of [...]
Let them praise Me
This Sunday morning, I had a church service. And towards the end of the service, there was an alter call. The Pastor and other Church leaders were praying, the worship music was on and while everyone was singing. The person next to me was clapping. Loudly in my ear and that distracted me because I'm [...]
