Prayer Is the Key

  Prayer Is the Key Within this week, God showed me something great and powerful. I am an aspirant of the  Cyber Security Science  course at the University of Jos, and the school has been giving admission through JAMB — the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, the body responsible for all tertiary admissions in Nigeria. But each time I checked my JAMB portal, all I saw was  “Not Admitted.” People with the same qualifications and scores as me were already celebrating. But not me. I was worried. My WAEC/NABTEB results were good, my JAMB score was good — yet nothing was happening. So I decided to fast and pray. I managed to pray, but the fasting didn’t go well because Satan had his way in distracting me. Still, I prayed earnestly that God should look upon me with mercy and give me this admission. Right there in prayer, God answered. I didn’t hear a voice, but I received  peace inside me  — strong, quiet assurance. That was on Thursday around 8pm. Around 3a...

Praise: A Small Yet Powerful Catalyst

  Praise: A Small Yet Powerful Catalyst By Nasarah Peter Dashe There are moments in life when we feel overwhelmed by everything happening around us. Even though our faith remains strong, it still feels like we are losing the battle day by day. This is where PRAISE comes in. A Season of Shame and Mockery There was a time in my life when it seemed as if anything I touched would spoil. Truly, it was a painful season. People mocked me. They even created a name out of my mistakes. Whenever someone made a mistake, instead of saying, “So and so made a mistake,” they would say, “So and so made a Peter.” I had become the definition of error. It was heartbreaking. I prayed—again and again—but nothing changed. I knew I was not a mistake, yet everything around me suggested otherwise. The Turning Point: Praise Instead of Complaints One day, I got tired of praying the same prayers while seeing no improvement. So I switched to praise and worship . Whenever I touched somethi...

Light of the World

  Light of the World By Nasarah Peter Dashe Can you light a candle and then hide it under a cover? Absolutely not — because if you cover it, the purpose of lighting it is defeated. A candle is meant to shine, to be seen, and to drive away darkness . This is exactly what Jesus meant when He called us the light of the world . If you are in Christ, it is mandatory — not optional — to let your light shine so that the world will know whom you believe in. And when you shine, you lead many into the knowledge of Christ. Light in a Dark World Imagine walking through a deep, dark forest with a torchlight in your hand. Will you continue walking in darkness, or will you switch on the light? Of course, you will turn it on. That is how this world is — full of darkness, full of evil, full of confusion. And you, as a believer, are holding a spiritual torchlight. You must turn on the light of the gospel to illuminate others and draw them into the waiting arms of Jesus Christ. When ...

Love: The Christ-Like Nature

  Love: The Christ-Like Nature By Nasarah Peter Dashe Love is a strong, positive emotion — an expression of compassion, goodwill, and genuine concern toward people we cherish unconditionally . Jesus demonstrated this kind of love toward us. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 This is the highest form of love. And just as He showed it to us, we are expected to show it to: our brethren in church, our family members, strangers, and even those who have not yet accepted Jesus. The Church of Old — A Model of Christ-like Love In Acts 2:44–47 , we see a powerful picture: Believers continued with one accord They broke bread together They sold their possessions They supported the needy They lived in unity and joy What manner of love is this? No wonder the people of old looked at them and said: “These are Christians — followers of Christ.” Why? Because they displayed the nature of Jesus , which is love. The Commandme...

Repentance: The Ultimate Solution

  Repentance: The Ultimate Solution By Nasarah Peter Dashe The world might seem like a pleasant place — until you get a taste of God’s goodness. Are you suffering? Are you tired of life’s endless challenges? Then this is the right time to consider coming to Jesus . It might sound old-fashioned, unpopular, or even strange, but Jesus remains the only true solution ever given to man. Is Following Jesus Worth It? Perhaps you're asking: “Are Christians not suffering too? How will surrendering to Jesus make any difference in my life?” The truth is: Not everyone who claims to follow Christ actually does. Some are Christians, but lack faith in the power of Jesus. But a true believer — one who fully trusts in Jesus — will never be abandoned by God. King David once testified: “I was young, and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging bread.” — Psalm 37:25 That’s the promise of God. If anything else is happening, it is eith...

Abortion Is Equally Murder

  Abortion Is Equally Murder By Nasarah Peter Dashe Abortion is defined as the removal of a fetus from the womb before normal delivery in such a manner that causes the death of the baby. Whether it’s called voluntary abortion or therapeutic abortion , the fact remains — it ends a life God created . The Bible reminds us that children are gifts from the Lord (Psalm 127:3). Every gift from above is meant to be valued, protected, and preserved — not destroyed. A Real Story: NECO Examination and the Fear of Exposure In 2022, just before NECO (National Examination Council) exams — one of Nigeria’s major school certificate exams — there was a young lady in my class. While waiting for the exam date, someone mentioned that pregnant girls would not be allowed to sit for the exam unless they were married. Immediately, the girl burst out nervously: “Jesus! I just hope I’m not pregnant.” Her panic said it all — she had already eaten the forbidden fruit. Acting out of fear, she whis...

Anger: The Silent Destroyer

  Anger: The Silent Destroyer By Nasarah Peter Dashe Anger is a natural emotion — but when left unchecked, it can become a force so destructive that it ruins both the carrier and the target . No one plans to destroy their life with anger, but many do — without noticing until it’s too late. The Reality of Anger Anger is like fire: 🔥 It can warm a house when controlled. 🔥 But the same fire, if unleashed, can burn that very house down. Many people today are in prison, in debt, or far from friends and opportunities — not because they lacked destiny, but because they couldn’t control their anger. Some marriages broke because someone lashed out in a moment they should’ve been silent. Some relationships ended because someone spoke words they could never take back. You can be right and still angry , but anger can cost you more than the thing you were right about. A Bible Warning “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” — Ephesians 4:26 The...
