WE HAVE MOVED!

• 

July 2016, I finally launched my blog. Before then, I had been writing only on Facebook. However, the message needed to reach a wider platform.

The Parable of the Hippo-Crite

“Nothing happened! Stop spreading fake news. The lion did not kill any animal. The young deer and its friends are telling these baseless allegations in a bid to dethrone the king of the jungle.”

The hyena continued, “We will not allow any animal, young or old, to disrupt the peace and prosperity that we are enjoying. Young deer, gazelle, elephant and their friends must be held accountable for their actions in the failed coup.”

TRAITOR EPISODE FOUR

Episode 4: Redemption

“He is risen! He is risen! The women who went to the tomb said He is no longer there. Our Lord is risen!” Thaddeus heard a lad telling his mother who was selling wheat at the market. “Where are you going, Gamaliel?!” The woman asked with a look of concern. “I am going to see the risen king! I am going to see Jesus!!!” Thaddeus shivered.

“I don’t know what is wrong with children these days. See him running along while I am talking to him. How can Jesus come back to life? We all watched him being crucified only a few days ago. These people should stop spreading fables. Or do you believe this is possible?” Her silence shook me out of my thoughts. “Young man, I asked if you believe Jesus has risen from the dead”

TRAITOR EPISODE THREE

Episode 3: Rebellion

Thaddeus woke up.

“He’s back. His eyes are open. Hallelujah. Praise to the Most High.” The young girl was delighted. An elderly man put a damp cloth to Thaddeus’ head and massaged his temples. It felt so soothing.

Slowly, the scenes began to return to him. His wife’s cry. The midwife’s report. The words that brought darkness to his life. As he tried to move, he realized that his hands had been tied. “Get the ropes off me! Get them off!”

The Parable of the Indomitable Lion

A young deer asked its mother, “Why do we run from the lion? Should we not be brave enough to challenge it? How can we be fugitives in our land? This can’t continue!

The older deer sighed. Her eyes told tales that her tongue could not utter

“You cannot understand my child. There’s more to it than you can see”

TRAITOR EPISODE 2

REVIVAL FIRES

Rebekah was wondering how much longer she would have to wait. It had been four years since she set her eyes on her husband. She remembered the look on his face when he said goodbye as they took him to Galilee. The efforts by the physicians to restore him to good health had failed. It had also drained the family purse, leaving them hungry and needy.

TRAITOR EPISODE ONE

FROM LEPER TO LEAPER

“Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!”

On the anniversary of my fifth year at the lepers’ colony, I learnt that Jesus was in the region. I knew this was my only chance to be healed. There was no way I would let it go. No way.
