(ONGOING) || There comes a time when the fire within begins to dim. The weight of constant responsibilities, silent prayers, and spiritual exhaustion wears down even the most faithful hearts. Many have walked this path, feeling empty, numb, and far from the passion they once had for life and God.
Even the strongest believers in Scripture had moments when their zeal wavered. Elijah, who called fire from heaven, once asked to die under a broom tree. David, the man after God's heart, cried out in loneliness and despair. When the flame flickers, we are not alone.
Here is a 30-day journey drawn from the quiet wrestlings of a servant of God-words born not from strength, but from surrender. Through reflections shaped by the Word of God, may you be reminded that your flickering flame is still seen by the One who never lets the fire die.

Imagination A Gift From God
Imagination is that ability to see what is unseen, which is a powerful gift from God. Learning how to use our imagination correctly is vital to any Christian walk. Each chapter describes those different sometimes difficult challenges we can all face in life. This is where Nathan Sparkes breaks down the barriers of how we tackle those difficult times, and how our imagination could be twisted by negativity if not careful. God's work in our lives is only limited by how much we limit our imagination, very simple but true. That is why we all need visions, hopes and dreams of goals we look forward to, that then give us a purpose in life. As Nathan Sparkes wrote about his testimony, about walking away from God - being caught up in the world as a young teenager, then finding his way back to God several years later. Chapter by chapter this book helps us to see how we should use our dreams and visions, as we learn to develop a wonderful imagination that reflects the heart of God.Complete

Health & Wholeness - A Christian Devotional
Never before has the world spent more time and money on trying to obtain maximum health and wholeness of mind and body. However, in the pursuit of optimal wellbeing, many people forget to look at the 'Maker's Manual', otherwise known as the Bible! God obviously knows what is best for us -physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. He longs for us to live in a way that makes the most of what He has given us. My new devotional, "Health & Wholeness", looks at what God has to say and how we can really live life to the full! I will endeavour to update often!Complete
BROKEN VOW
I stop at the last room, stare at the number on the door and crosscheck it with the one with me. I stuffed the paper away and ready myself for what lies behind the closed door. I lean on the door for a while and could hear voices but were incoherent. I tap twice on the door and the voices stopped. I repeated the process and received a response that sounded more like Hillary's voice. "Who is it?" He asked from behind the door. I knocked back instead, I didn't trust myself to sound differently. The door flew open in a second and I quickly wedge the door with my leg to prevent him from shutting it on my face. His face went pale on seeing me. I scanned him from head to toe. He was only in his brief. He tried blocking my view with his body but I push him aside forcefully. "Who is at the door, love?" Love? What a joke! Both our eyes snapped in the direction of the voice. I thought I heard my heart leap but not for joy, in pains. It was as though a knife was scrolled into my chest. "This is your Ghana?" I scoffed and walked past him in the direction of the voice, "I was at the door" I said catching her attention... • • • • • A charming couple (Nick and Lauren ) had to navigate their way out of a storming marriage that was once cemented by love. A single mistake is about to pull the string of their marriage apart. °°°°Complete
