Beware of Penniah – Stay focussed!
Some food for thought and biblical inspiration! God didn’t stop Penninah from bearing children, but none of those children were Samuel! Like Hannah, you may have people in your life who go out of their way to poke at you with their “blessings” or achievements, but pay them no mind. Do not focus on what… Continue reading Beware of Penniah – Stay focussed!
Lights! Camera! Action!
Interested? Please read the narrative below carefully and apply accordingly: God is not a supporting actor in the movie of our lives.

Downgrading to conform?
Who isn’t guilty of doing the first bit? Often we may start out with a great, God-given vision that we are excited about and absolutely certain will come to fruition.

Finsbury Park station!
I know it’s a weird title to find in the ‘Soul Food’ section right? Bear with me… Finsbury Park has been a regular underground stop for me for the past 15 years now, and more recently, a source of inspiration for this article. I was coming through there the other night and I was just… Continue reading Finsbury Park station!
Worth the wait…
Quite content with the way my life was heading, I looked forward to everyday with God. I was making my dreams come true, going after what I wanted and trying to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

The 24-hr Ignition
Take a look at these lyrics from Katy Perry’s lovely song, Firework… Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? 6 feet under screams but no… Continue reading The 24-hr Ignition
