A Legacy I Will Remember — Jimmy Swaggart (1935–2025)

Today, we bid farewell to a man whose voice stirred the hearts of millions and whose message echoed across generations — Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart. His passing marks the end of an era, but his legacy lives on in powerful sermons, soul-lifting songs, and an unwavering devotion to the preaching of the Gospel.

I will remember Jimmy Swaggart not just as a preacher, but as a man who, despite human struggles, never ceased to proclaim the redeeming power of Jesus Christ. His piano became his pulpit, and his songs were sermons of their own full of grace, repentance, and hope.

Through the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, he brought the message of salvation to the world, and many found Christ because he dared to speak with boldness and compassion. He reminded us that God's grace is greater than our failures and that no life is too broken for God to restore.

Swaggart once said, “There is nothing greater than the message of the Cross.” Indeed, he lived to magnify that truth.

Today, I honor his legacy — not because he was perfect, but because he pointed us to the One who is. His life was a testimony of mercy, music, and ministry. And while the man may rest, the message continues.

Rest well, Evangelist. Your labor was not in vain.

✝️ “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord... they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” — Revelation 14:13

Happy Sabbath!

Don’t let your past poison your future.
Your mistakes, pain, and regrets are not your identity.
They’re just chapters-lessons that shaped you, not definitions that confine you.
Live fully in the present.
Learn boldly from the past.
And walk with hope into your future.
Every sunrise is a whisper from God: “You have another chance.”

Happy Baptism Anniversary to Us – 27 Years of Grace

27 years ago, during a satellite evangelistic campaign held in Soweto, South Africa, the powerful messages of tele-evangelist Fitz Henry, a servant of God from Jamaica, shook the heart of Africa and touched mine forever.

On the 21st of May, 1998, I gave my life to Jesus.
By the 23rd of May, I was ready to make my public declaration of faith. Together with Elder Ocean Mwiinga, we were baptized at Libala SDA Church in Lusaka by Pastor C. Moyo.

What makes this journey even more profound is that Elder Mwiinga, who was not only my father, as a retired civil servant, now serves under my leadership as an Elder at Mazabuka Central SDA Church where I serve as his Pastor. What a testimony of God’s faithfulness through the generations!

We surely have a story to tell when we get to heaven.

27 years of walking with the Lord has not been without trials but through it all, God’s grace has sustained us.
As we look to the future, we continue to pray for His guidance, strength, and deeper commitment to His calling.

To God be all the glory!

Protect Your Dream

One of the quickest ways to kill a dream is to expose it to small-minded people.
Not everyone deserves a front-row seat to your vision. Some people don’t lack love they lack capacity. They can only see as far as their fears, their failures, and their past allow them.
So what happens when you place a big dream in the hands of someone who thinks small?
They’ll criticize it. Doubt it. Water it down.
Not because your dream isn’t good, but because they can’t see it the way you do.
Friends, your dream doesn’t need everyone's approval.
It needs your belief, your discipline, and the company of people who think in possibility, not limitation.
So guard your dream like a seed.
Plant it in the soil of faith.
Water it with hard work.
And surround it with people who know what it means to believe in something bigger than themselves.

God knows when I have 'a love For God' and 'a Love of God' in my heart.

He knows everything.
