By Olusola Adeyegbe There is something deeply jarring about the sound of bombs during a season of fasting. When war drums rise at the very moment millions bow their heads in prayer, civilisation is forced to look at itself in an unflattering mirror. Lent and Ramadan are not minor observances. They are structured interruptions in […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Familiarity rarely announces itself as a risk. It comes quietly. It often begins the moment we drop titles and say, “Please, call me by my first name.” That small sentence sounds harmless, even warm. Yet in many professional and cultural settings, it is not casual at all. It requires permission. It signals […]

By Olusola Adeyegbr Human life is framed by a certainty we often push to the edges of our thinking: it will end. Death is not an interruption to life’s story. It is the boundary that gives the story its shape, earnestness, and meaning. We live on a rock spinning through space at astonishing speed, in […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe The Christian calendar unfolds like a journey walked with intention. Each season slows our pace, draws our attention, and gently shapes who we are becoming. From the quiet threshold of Pre Lent to the radiant light of Pentecost, the path leads through discipline, joy, surrender, and renewal, as living experiences that form […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Laughter is one of the most unguarded human responses. We can control our words. We can curate our opinions. We can edit our public positions. But what we laugh at often slips past the filters. It reveals reflex before performance. And reflex tells the truth. What makes a person laugh says something […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe In 2017, I wrote a short piece titled Publish and Be Damned, at: https://samueli.blogspot.com/2017/01/social-media-news-moguls.html reflecting on the responsibility we carry whenever we share information. At the time, my concern was simple: too many people were in a hurry to be first, to forward unverified stories, shocking images, or slanderous claims, often hiding […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe For too long, we have been superficial in our understanding of our weaknesses. We speak of them lightly, as if yielding to our impulses is harmless, a private indulgence that only affects us. But here is the truth: giving way to our own weaknesses is not a private matter. It is a […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe We often complicate life unnecessarily, as if meaningful achievement demands struggle, complexity, or endless toil. But nature whispers a different truth: greatness comes effortlessly when it aligns with the laws that govern Creation. Birds do not struggle to fly, they simply fly. The Earth does not strain to rotate, it simply turns. […]

Exploring the Gentle Idolatry of the self and the Path to True Devotion By Olusola Adeyegbe There is a quiet idolatry that thrives without temples, incense, or hymns. It requires no public declaration, but it demands daily devotion. It is the worship of self. We kneel before it in our thoughts, defend it in our […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.- 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (KJV) The Bible stands, first and foremost, as a spiritual book. For this reason, […]
