Psalms 42 - 72

 As a deer pants for water, so my soul pants for you oh God. (Ps 42)

Why are you downcast my soul? Praise the Lord our God!(Ps 43)

God is our refuge and strength. Be still and know that I'm God. (Ps 46)

How awesome is the God of all the earth! (Ps 47)

Why should I fear when evil days come? Death is inevitable. For I should not fear for even the rich would not take his riches with him. May I have spiritual eyes to see the Lord my God for who he really is. (Ps 49)

The confession psalm (Ps 51)
For truly my sins are always before me. Cleanse me that I may be whither than snow. Then I will teach others your ways and sacrifices will offered unto to you.

But as for me, I will trust in the Lord (Ps 55).

When I'm afraid, I will trust in you (Ps 56).

I will lie under the wings of God. yet I'm in the mist of lions. My heart is steadfast, my heart is steadfast. WOW! For I need to draw strength from God's power and see that I only need to wait and trust in God. May my fight be the God's fight, my strength be his strength, my glory be his glory. (Ps 57).

save us and help us with your right hand (ps 60) For in God we find salvation for his right hand holds up on high and we find refuge in his arms.

Long to take shelter in your wings (Ps 61). For comparing the Lord to an eagle with its wings extended, surely we can find a home and a sanctuary under Him.

A father to the fatherless and a defender of widows (Ps 68). For to give a voice for those who cannot speak is seen as integrity.

(Ps 69) David shows that even if he's a song of drunkards, he will seek deliverance from God for even his own family have become his enemy. He asks for God's anger to come down on those people and he will continue to praise His Lord.

My mouth is full of your praise. In my old age do not forget. But as for me, I will always have hope and proclaim to mighty presence. Since my youth, you've taught me and so I will continue (Ps 71)

All kings will bow down to the Lord. May his name endure forever. (Ps 72)

My trip back to Europe in ONE word (Part 1/2) - Coronavirus

It was a normal working day on a hot and usually dusty afternoon in Yaounde when I got the call to come and collect my Visa for my upcoming trip to Italy. I was elated. It had been 17 years since I had last seen my foster aunts and cousins. I was beside myself.  I distinctly remember my trip back to wish my father goodbye and how emotional I was because I knew that somehow I will not see him for a long while. I remember the bus trip back to Yaounde and how surreal it all felt (especially since there was a job interview lined up in Munich).   Me on the bus (in the middle of nowhere) on my way back to Yaounde. Clearly I was too excited to sleep (like someone next to me). I was already missing my lovely Cameroon. On the news, the coronavirus (covid-19) was beginning to show its ugly head in Italy and various other neighbouring countries. My aunt even told me to postpone my trip, but it was too late. I was already packed. Don't mess with a black man and his luggage! Me, mysel...

Times of refreshing

What a weekend that has just gone past! The single's ministry saw two men getting baptised on Sunday after church! What a rush!!! I had never dealt with two people baptising at the same time. Truly the bible is true when it says that "repentance brings times of refreshing". Seeing the excitement in those guys faces made me realise how blessed we are at having being "fished out" of the water at such an early age (I was 18 and my wife 14). Through his grace, I've experienced much love and much pain in his kingdom yet through it all, knowing that His Spirit can continue to guide me as long as I stay close to him. The crazy thing about yesterday was the realization that God is definitely moving amongst the churches all around Southern Africa and it felt really good to know we were making news (although small in comparison) of our own. There was almost a sense of disbelief among those who have been doubting whether God can still do miracles. My prayer and hop...

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,
