So, I came to say that I miss writing here. Now and then I have posted something on my social media accounts, but not as much. I actually never planned to stop writing here. It all began with a very busy school schedule (I was doing my masters), followed up by all pressures that come … Continue reading I hope to be back writing here

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I wasn’t quitting on my faith, NO, how could I, Jesus seemed the realest! I was basically saying, “I cannot ignore my feelings of same sex attractions, and I didn’t know how to remain Christian amidst them.” Being home with Christ felt like the only comfort; I became suicidal!
2018; the year that I almost lost it all #Throwback
Few months to Jan 2018 I had heeded to God’s leading in serving full-time in a Church; a one year internship contract. Having been greatly inspired by reading the story of Charles Spurgeon, I looked forward to a momentous season of ministry. Little did I know what lay ahead. I will not talk about the … Continue reading 2018; the year that I almost lost it all #Throwback
Hello Mr.
Hey you,
Do you feel my heart-beat, any time we meet?

I write today, not to give my story but to actually give you a glimpse of what's it's like for me.

My Story for you
Internet told me that I was gay! I hated gay! Everyone hates gays, even God hated them so much that he burnt a whole city because of them.
I am not gay!
That was my now biggest prayer. God I don’t wanna be gay. I was hopeful. I fasted. Read the word and all my tender mind could think.
And so the struggle continues………..
So, take courage today! Pray that God would grant you strength even as you seek to battle with these desires. Ask that He in His mercy would allow you to see His work in your life.

PRESS ON

Valentine season is often a hard one for me
My obvious response to all the loneliness and pressure will be to desire him, the one whose looks I will be awed at. The one whose intimacy will flush away all my loneliness. Someone whom...
Telling it raw: In the mission field
It was the year 2014 and I was attending this mission experience. I had already confessed to one of our facilitator that I struggled with homosexual feelings (the very first time when I gathered courage to call what I was feeling that). So time came for us to go to the mission field. Well, another … Continue reading Telling it raw: In the mission field

Being Gay in a Straight man’s world
This is an article I wish I never sat down to draft, not due to its content but more so due to my context. Though I seek to be understood many will end up doing otherwise. In hope, though I will pen my words down, someday maybe, someone will get it. This has come about due to my own personal experience and the many stories I have heard from people who experience an enduring pattern of physical, emotional and sexual attractions towards the same gender. I label that experience Gay
Why call myself Gay and what do I mean?
I need a language to describe my enduring pattern of physical emotional and sexual attractions towards my same sex
The Prince of Peace
Thus when Jesus comes, he moves ahead to declare that Shalom/Eirene. Peace to the woman who had struggled for 12 years with bleeding- Mark 5:25-34, peace to the disciples who most likely would be frightened by his departure-John 14:27 and much more peace to those who would be justified by Faith to God through him
The FOUND Series
Yes, the 99 were safe in the fold, but the 1 mattered, and he was willing to go seeking for it in the open field.
THE ‘FOUND’ SERIES
To all who consider yourself FALLEN this is for you, Jesus table is yours, DINE with him.
For that is his DELIGHT!
The best chat with a PASTOR on LGBT+
Hi Steve, it's always fascinating to see your articles on sexuality issues. I find it relevant to my ministry as a youth pastor. Maybe we can have some discussion on the same.
What did the Pope really say and why did we react the way we did?
In a documentary that was premiered on the 21st of October in Rome, Pope Francis is quoted to have said, “Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or made miserable over it. What is needed … Continue reading What did the Pope really say and why did we react the way we did?
Is homosexuality a sin? (1st Corinthians 6:9)
It is thus okay to conclude that the terms malakoi and arsenokoitai point to the men who have sex with other men.
Second edition: MY STORY
Sexuality-wise, I am almost exclusively oriented towards my gender
The best Christian response to the gay script
I however wish we all knew how much complex the issue of sexuality is. Probably more complex than we think.
Am I a gay guy who is trying to be a Christian or a Christian who is struggling with being gay?
Just because it’s persistent, it doesn't mean that it's the most important and authentic fact about you,
The Mismatch!
No failure is ever a success story. But it can be a redemption story
