  When the Fire Fades: From Revival to Reality By Muzi Mthethwa There’s a strange pattern I’ve seen in the Christian walk one we rarely talk about, yet it defines so many of our spiritual journeys. It’s that feeling of being on fire for God one night at a conference, revival, or Sunday service and then cold and uncertain the next morning. In that moment of worship, when the lights are dim and the music wraps around you, you believe you can conquer the world. You feel the presence of God so strongly that your fears fade. You make bold declarations. You cry. You surrender. You say, “This time, I’ll change.” But then morning comes. The music stops. The lights go off. And life with all its chaos and challenges is waiting at your doorstep again. Suddenly, the faith that felt unshakable last night now feels faint. The confidence you had in what God said seems blurred by reality. The Emotional Hangover of Faith Many believers are living in cycles of spiritual intoxicatio...

The Tap and the Source: Living from God’s Unlimited Supply

Image
  Have you ever stopped to think about how a simple tap works? By itself, it’s just a hollow piece of metal dry, empty, and ordinary. But once it’s connected to a water source, everything changes. Suddenly, that same tap becomes a channel of refreshment, pouring out what it receives from the source behind the wall. That’s exactly how our lives are meant to function in relationship with God. We were never created to be the source. We are the tap God is the supply. Connected to the Source When we connect our lives, our work, and our finances to God, something powerful happens. We begin to live from an unlimited flow. Whenever there’s a need, we open the tap through faith, prayer, and obedience and His provision flows. Just as water doesn’t depend on the tap but on the reservoir behind it, our ability to give, to love, to live in peace, or to prosper doesn’t come from our own effort. It comes from staying connected to the Source . Never Running Dry When your bank account,...

Sharks Are Born Swimming

Discovering and Pursuing What You Were Born For “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”  Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV) Born to Move in Your Own Ocean Sharks are born swimming. The moment they enter the world, they instinctively do what they were created to do move, explore, and survive in the vastness of the ocean. They don’t need lessons or external motivation. Their environment  the ocean  calls to what’s already inside of them. You and I are no different. Each of us carries a divine blueprint, a God-given purpose that flows naturally when we align with who we were created to be. Yet so often, we try to excel in spaces that were never meant for us careers, relationships, or pursuits that don’t resonate with our true calling. The Pool vs. The Ocean A shark doesn’t thrive in a pool not because it’s weak, but because the pool is too small for its purpose. The same is true for you. When you settle for environments, opportunities, or pat...

“It’s the One You Gave Me”

  The Blame Game From the very beginning of human history, blame has been a weapon in relationships. In the book of Genesis, when Adam is confronted by God for eating the forbidden fruit, his response is not ownership but deflection: “It’s the woman You gave me.” Eve follows suit, blaming the serpent. That ancient script is still being rehearsed today in marriages, dating, and even casual connections. The blame game has become the most convenient way to avoid accountability. Blame in Modern Love Fast forward to today, and the language may have changed, but the pattern hasn’t. Couples continue to pass the responsibility back and forth like a hot potato. When love fails, the finger rarely points inward; it almost always points outward. 1. The Bedroom Excuse When women cheat, the justification often sounds like: “He wasn’t satisfying me.” When men stray, the line is flipped: “She wasn’t meeting my needs.” Instead of confronting broken communication, emotional disconnect, or self...
