A humble man owned an estate, and had a massive field. He loved flowers and gardening, and decided to plant some seeds to make a beautiful garden. He sent his servant to go to the market and buy all kinds of seeds for flowers, plants and trees too. He sowed
I knew it would happen. I saw the signs. We haven’t been happy for a long time. In fact, I can’t remember when we were. We don’t talk like friends. We don’t laugh or play. We hardly spend time together at all. It’s either you’re busy working or with your
To make up for skipping yesterday’s #dailymedicine, here’s a #doubledose, still on today’s theme of #breakuplines. ENJOY this short fictional piece by yours truly! It’s lacking in moral lessons, but one thing that’s funny to note is that we should be careful what we ask for… The truth can be
Part One Once upon a time, God established a grand light (imagine the Sun) to enlighten our paths on the Earth. The light revealed what was true and exposed what was evil. It shall be called Morality. Men began to hide from this light, living in shadows and doing what
The time had come for the ship to set sail for the Kingdom of Heaven. Two theologians who had very opposing views about almost everything concerning Christianity, and who loved to argue endlessly, met themselves at the dock. “Hey old friend, glad to see you didn’t miss the boat”, said
It happened all of a sudden. Out of nowhere, this car smashed into me, and I flew out of my seat unto the road, where I would spend my last few moments wondering about the idiot who killed me. I wondered who else was injured seriously or would die from
One day, a boy found a ghost in his house hiding in the closet. He screamed and ran to his bed, where he hid under the covers. The ghost called to him, “hey, I don’t bite. I am friendly. I just want to be understood.” At first, the boy was
The Kingdom of Heaven can be likened to a Kingdom, which a King leaves for a long travel, and leaves in charge his servants, who he promoted to the position of Gate Keepers. Before he leaves, he charges them to grow the population of his country, by sending out ambassadors
The evangelist said to the sinner, “have you heard of Jesus?” The sinner replied, “uh, yeah. It rings a bell. Who is that?” “Jesus is the Saviour of the World! He died to save you from your sins!” the evangelist eagerly responded. With that, he told the sinner his usual salvation
There was a rich man who lived long ago in Manchester, England. He owned his own land and slaves and had many concubines, in addition to his beautiful wife and three gorgeous daughters. They lived the life of the nobles and enjoyed great health and prosperity. As a doctor, he
The hall was gloriously decorated with colourful, sweet-smelling flowers and alight with spotlighting and grandiose chandeliers. Gold and purple drapes and ribbons were beautifully spread around the grand space, and lined the ivory chiavari chairs according to the royal theme the Bride had chosen. It was to be the Wedding of
Nnena was over the moon! She jumped in glee and screamed as she dropped the phone. It had been the call she’d been waiting for all her life! Finally, things are beginning to fall into place, she thought. She had just three hours to make her appointment across town in
The other day, as I was going to gather up those Christians to be killed, God appeared to me. “No, he didn’t! He doesn’t exist!” But I saw Him. He blinded me with His glory and told me I was persecuting Him! “Saul, you’re sounding crazy! No way did you
The road to divorce was long and hard. I must have died a thousand deaths along the way. The first time was when he confessed to me what he had done. In tears, he told me his horrible secret and broke my heart. He destroyed my trust and became a
There was a Pastor of an Evangelical Church, who had received a burden for one of his members. He decided to pray and fast about how he could help this member, because he was very much in need, but it seemed there was more to it than was apparent. One
I remember the day I met Kevin, like it was yesterday. Something about him was so paralysing, I couldn’t help but stare! Yes, he was gorgeous, but more than that, he oozed charisma. He smiled at me, as he noticed my intense gaze, and I gasped. He took my breath
It had been a while since she had been in there. The place was dusty now, and cobwebs lined the ceiling and doorway. The oven was starting to rust too. Her kitchen had deteriorated for lack of use. To make matters worse, she didn’t feel at all like cooking. She
I heard of a queen, whose palace was set on a hill, and adorned with jewels. Though surrounded by much wealth, she was discontent and desired elaborate displays of her riches and the receipt of expensive gifts. It was the king’s job to satisfy her appetite. And this he did
It had been a few months, and I knew something had changed. I didn’t want to believe it, I couldn’t bare the thought. I tried to explain his behaviour away, tried to think that perhaps our problems were circumstantial, and that we would soon overcome the rough patch. But it
