    Fasting & Prayer: 3 Tips for Effective Fasting

    January 13, 2023 / 0 Comments

    It is the culture of most Christians to fast at the beginning of every season, particularly new calendar years, new birthday years, and sometimes during transitionary moments like changing jobs, starting a new relationship, studies, and so forth. Fasting is simply a way of drawing closer to God by weakening the physical so the spirit man can be more active. In Luke 4: 14, we are introduced to fasting as an activation key for the power of the spirit to operate within us. Jesus went into the wilderness full of the spirit but came back after 40 days of fasting full of the power of the spirit. Types of Fasting…

    Chuck steak is always considered the low-value steak, the last preference but there is just so much you can do with it. Its variety of use without necessarily ruining its taste or the dish is what makes it so ideal for a low-budget season. Just because you are saving doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy tasty and healthy food. Below is a recipe of what a Chuck steak and a little bit of some fresh herbs can do. Enjoy your #KitchenExperiments. Ingredients Recipe Bon Appetite!!

    Wild & Free: Best Places to Visit during the Rainy Season in Bulawayo

    January 5, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Solitude and the outdoors have been my great loves for as long as I can remember. My mother always says there was never a time in my life when I could blend in. Easily or naturally at least. Even as a child, I always preferred hanging by myself. Don’t get me wrong, I do love people and group functions but I also prefer being alone. The downside of this part of me is that it can be very difficult to make people understand. Understand that I haven’t disappeared or been quiet because I am angry or don’t love them anymore but I am just taking life the best way I…

    I don’t know if it’s just me but mid-afternoon snacks are just the most exciting and crucial part of my meal plans. However, with my hot girl summer goals, I have had to revise what I snack on and behold, SMOOTHIES!! I am taking in all the vital nutrients while enjoying a yummy snack. Having tried a few variations of fruit combinations, I am confident that my favorite is berries and bananas. I mostly enjoy how all the flavors come together though it feels like the banana is overpowering the berries. Due to the seasonal availability of berries in Zimbabwe, I usually end up settling for the frozen berries from…

    Zucchini and Eggplant Pasta

    January 2, 2023 / 0 Comments

    One of my 2023 goals is to save as much money as I can by cutting expenditures on literally everything. This sounds like a dream right? Well, not so much for me because I love food and trying out new restaurants or new menus the same way I love making/experimenting with the food my kitchen. The only problem with my unrestrained love for food is exactly that it is unrestrained. Most of my expenses are somewhat food-related. It could be trying new restaurants, new menu additions at old places or just buying crazy amounts of groceries so I can experiment in the kitchen myself. However, this is Zimbabwe and this…

    The Essence of Prayer Boards

    December 31, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Let us get our priorities right! Every beginning of year, we all sit down and draft resolutions and vision boards for whatever it is that we hope to achieve during the year. This can be cutting each other off, getting rid of toxicity, prioritizing and loving oneself, career development and so many other things culture inspires us to focus on. And, this is all good. Trust me, I do not have anything against this concept, in fact, the next blog post is going to be on Vision Boards. However, as a child of God called to ministry, I would be doing an injustice to the very Kingdom I am serving…

    Emotional Entanglement

    December 30, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Early 2020, we all had a front-row seat to the “entanglement” drama that unraveled in Hollywood. It felt as if it was the first time the world was hearing the word “entanglement”. I suppose what made it so was the way it was thrown about lightly as if it was meant to explain and justify all that had happened. Maybe because all that it was meant to be was meaningless physical “interaction”. I will not seat here and pretend to have an understanding of what exactly happened or whether it was right or wrong. And then again, this is none of my business. So you can stop right there, before…
