I’m writing today from a passage in 1 Samuel 4:6-10 where the Israelites faced the Philistines in battle. Usually, we learn from the Israelites, but this time around, we will learn from the Philistines. In Scripture, we naturally gravitate toward the “heroes,” the people of God, because they set the standard. But the truth is, […]

Superpower There are many moments in Scripture where God equips people with something tangible for their divine assignment. Take Moses, for example. He had a rod. With that rod, the Red Sea was parted. Water came out of a rock. Pharaoh was confronted. The rod was powerful But let’s be honest, it also had limits.

“As you are learning to blow, make sure you guard” – Olayiwola Richard, 2026 For those not familiar, the above quote is from the CEO of GNCC masterclass, Mr Richard – one of characters in Layi Wasabi’s comedy catalogue. The above quote was borrowed from a boxing lesson where his coach taught him the importance

A philosopher once said, “Your life is a sum total of your choices”. Powerful statement but not entirely true. Your life is not just a sum total of your choices but the choices others made for you such as your parent, and the X factor called “luck”. But not to deviate from the point, your

“An unexamined life is not worth living.” A quote I first heard in my first year of medical school, and in many ways, has gone on to define much of my life as a doctor. Exams upon exams. It almost feels never-ending. And while I agree with Socrates that an unexamined life is not worth

If a pepper seller can do it, why can’t I? This was the question I kept asking myself at a point in my life when I was learning how to drive. After spending over a year in Zamfara and then moving closer to home, I had just resumed work at a place about 30 minutes’

In secondary school, one of my strongest and most enjoyable subjects was Agricultural Science. We had a farm at home, so it was always a joy to connect classroom lessons with real life, understanding the science behind farming practices and then watching those principles come alive on our own land. One topic that left a

Happy New Year everyone. We are back. Up and Grateful! As we go through year 2026, it is a good moment to pause, reflect, and recalibrate not just our goals, but how we see. In medical school, we learnt that every human eye has a blind spot. It sits on the retina where the optic

Acts 12:1–17 tells the story of the early church gathering to pray for the release of Apostle Peter. It was a critical moment in the spread of the gospel. James had just been arrested and killed. Peter was next. The fear was real and justified. Peter wasn’t just another apostle, he was the one Jesus

One theme that quietly runs through Scripture is the idea of blessing through association. Throughout the Bible, people often experience favour simply because of their connection to someone who walks closely with God. Laban benefited because of Jacob. In Genesis 30:27, he confessed, “I have learned by divination that the Lord has blessed me because
