…spreading the fragrance of His knowledge…
In my first year in the university, I got baptised in the Holy Spirit – and I fell in love with God. Obsessively. I didn’t want anything to come between us.
I loved music and used to be in the choir, and when it was time for special numbers, we would sometimes go out to sing – me included.
There was a certain girl in my group who would just watch. Reserved.
When God wants to promote or increase you in a certain area, He brings you into knowledge – usually through people who have some ‘higher’ knowledge in that subject.
Now, it’s easy to be humble when you are totally ignorant or clueless.
However, when you also have some measure of success or knowledge, it can be extremely difficult to ‘stoop’ to learn from another.
You know what scared me the most about the curses in the Old Testament?
It wasn’t the level or intensity of God’s punishment. No.
Rather, it was the heart of the people.

However, if you leave, break up with me, or – worse still – have an affair, I will destroy you and everything you have so bad, you will wish for death?”…
…what would you tell them?!
Can God make you jealous?!
Oh, certainly.
At one point in my life, I was in love with the reality series, Supernanny. Jo Frost is a short-term nanny who uses various techniques to train children who have been termed ‘difficult’ by their parents…
