WRESTLING WITH GOD'S PERPLEXITY
One of the stories I love in scripture is that of Jairus, a desperate father and spiritual leader. He falls at Jesus’ feet, begging for his dying daughter’s life. Jesus agrees. Hope flickers for a moment, but then Jesus stops. A bleeding woman touches His robe, and He pauses - calling her forward, speaking life to her. And in that agonizing delay, a moment of waiting for Jesus to attend to His dying daughter, Jairus hears the words that shatter a parent’s soul, “Your daughter is dead.” Can you feel it? The crushing weight? The silent scream, I imagine Jairus telling Jesus, “Why heal a stranger while my child slips away? Where were You?”

Then there’s Hosea. God commands him, “Go, marry a prostitute.” So Hosea weds Gomer. He loves her fiercely. They build a home, have children... and then, she walks away. She sells herself to other men. But God speaks to Hosea, “Go. Buy her back.” I can imagine Hosea’s anguish. The humiliation. The sacred ache as he pays silver and barley to redeem the wife who abandoned him.

In the account of Jairus, Jesus' timing felt like divine cruelty. Yet in the ruins of hope, Jesus turns to Jairus, His voice piercing the despair, “Do not fear; only believe.” Puzzling words from Jesus. Almost impossible to bare. Then Jesus enters the house of mourning, takes the cold hand of death itself, and resurrects the little girl. What seemed like abandonment was infact divine theater. Jesus allowed death so He could shatter it. Blessed is the soul who, when God’s timing feels like betrayal, whispers through the tears, “Only believe, it shall be well.” The miracle after the funeral is always sweeter. When God delays your answer, only believe for it shall be well with you. When His ways shatter your understanding, He is preparing a glory too vast your current vision.

Hosea’s account, to me, isn’t just a love story. It’s a wound laid bare. God uses Hosea’s agony to mirror His own broken heart, “My people have committed adultery against Me.” Hosea’s obedience is a raw altar - a life shattered to showcase a faithfulness deeper than betrayal. Blessed is the one who, when God’s call cuts like a knife, still obeys - knowing their pain is etching Heaven’s relentless love. Sometimes your brokenness is God’s chosen canvas. When He asks you to love what wounds you, to stay true and trust Him when your partner or spouse decides to walk away, to trust when the grave seems final, to honor Him when family is torn apart - love and obey Him anyway. Pray for God's grace to whisper to self, “Even amidst this pain and anguish, I choose to trust You Lord.”

Like Jairus staring at death, like Hosea buying back his wife, like John the Baptist in a prison cell - we all face moments when God’s script seems senseless and very cruel. Those moments when silence screams louder than His promises. But hear this; God’s most painful pauses are not abandonment. They are sacred incubators. Places where fear meets faith, where human understanding dies so resurrection can breathe.

When God pens a story you wouldn’t choose - dare to believe and trust Him still. The final page holds a resurrection beyond your imagination. Grace in this sense is the presence of God in the ruins. When His ways shatter you, believe in Him through those tense moments. He holds your breaking heart, and He holds your glorious end. Only believe.

At a time when confusion and anarchy threatened to take hold, he could have responded with stern warnings or taken a hardline stance. He could have directed law enforcement to clamp down on those spreading hate and discord. But instead, he chose the higher path - speaking words of love, peace, and unity. In doing so, he is calming the storm not with force, but with wisdom. We thank God for such a leader.

This moment reminds us of the kind of leadership our country truly needs - measured, compassionate, and focused on unity. Just as in business, where the credibility of a CEO or founder directly affects the opportunities and partnerships an enterprise can attract, a country’s leadership determines its standing in the world. Credible leaders bring in greater investment, inspire national confidence, and open doors for citizens, even beyond our borders. That is how important credible leadership is.

His example ignited my utter belief that for Zambia to truly prosper, we cannot allow those with ill intent to take up such important leadership. Politics must no longer be seen as a dirty game to be avoided, because we can redefine the political space with utter intent and purpose. The truth is politics affect us all.

While I may not support everything about our current political climate - especially the presence of violence, President Hakainde Hichilema's calm and constructive approach has always challenged me to reflect deeply. It has shown that true leadership is not about power displays, but about guiding people toward peace, unity, and progress. My desire and aspiration to one day be president of this great nation has always been strengthened by this kind of leadership. Dear friends, this country is ours, at the right time we must aspire to be involved.

Too often, capable individuals watch from the sidelines while the country is mismanaged. But examples like his reignite hope and remind us that we must step up when needed, for the sake of our nation’s progressive future.

Love over hate. Peace over chaos. Unity above division. We deeply appreciate and salute you, sir. 🙏🏼

THE PARADOX EVERY YOUNG MAN NEEDS TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT
This afternoon, while preparing to tackle pending office work, I received a call from one of my guys at my project site in Silverest - along Great East Road. Seeing the urgency, I quickly gathered the necessary materials, loaded my Hiace bus, and rushed out. (And yes, the mismatched shoes in the pic on site below? That’s a story for another day 😅.)

Enroute from home to site, I reflected on the professional and entrepreneurial journeys of great men who have gone before us. Some I’ve met and interacted with, others I’ve only read about. Their triumphs, hurdles, and lessons are priceless. As the saying goes, “The wise man learns from others’ mistakes; the fool learns only from his own.” That’s when it hit me: A very critical factor holds back countless talented young men today. This is a very important issue most fail to heed.

I firmly believe a man’s concern among the many nightmares that can bring him down quick in the world of goal-chasing is not necessarily inflation, economic downturns, or fluctuating exchange rates that Zanaco, Absa, or FNB report daily on their social platforms. It is what I call the “Partner Factor.” Unfortunately when it comes to this issue, if you get it wrong, sometimes the consequences are life-long. Young men, especially those in university or early careers, listen closely: This article is for you. For the young ladies, I'll write a separate article to address you over a booming vice by distractive men out there.

Behind every man stands one of three possibilities: a woman who shares his vision, a woman who doesn’t, or no woman at all. These scenarios are pivotal. If a man seeks companionship while pursuing tangible success, his focus must be on finding a partner who embraces the reality of the journey; the late nights, pre-dawn alarms, financial droughts, and unspoken struggles - not the fantasy of overnight success. Such a man certainly needs a woman who doesn’t amplify chaos but becomes the calm within it. A strategic woman who knows when to challenge him and when to steady him with respect. A woman who invests in understanding his potential rather than chasing fleeting, Instagram-worthy “hustle.” A woman who strives to build empires, not mere Instagram or facebook captions. Her goal isn’t only to share her man's spotlight but to strengthen his foundation. When storms hit (and they will), she serves as the compass that keeps him grounded and sane.

As a young man chasing success, and I mean meaningful sustainable success, this is the kind of partner you must seek. If you find her, cherish her. Carve her name into your legacy’s foundation because she’s rare. Until then, heed this: Never gamble on potential in a partner if you seek real progress. If a lady you're interested in tells you, “I’m no Bob the Builder,” believe her. When she withdraws (and she will) when dreams demand action or financial strain arises from necessary investments, let her go respectfully. Don’t be blinded by her beautiful face and figure; it will sink you.

Many ladies today seek pre-built success, they want the trophy, not the trenches. Avoid these ones at all costs, no matter how educated they think they are. They drown dreams faster than any economic crisis. Your growth isn’t just important, it’s sacred. Protect your legacy.

As your big brother, I’ll reiterate: Stay focused and pray for God's guidance. Avoid such distractive ladies in your journey. Build wisely. The right partner will come. Be patient and keep grinding. Remember: The right lady won’t slow your climb, she will anchor your ascent.

BROKEN PROMISES, UNSHAKEN FAITH
As is my custom, I spend my sundays at my office going through everything needing my attention and preparing for the week. This afternoon, however, was different as I couldn't shake off the thought of a close friend's story that left me with more questions than answers.

Sun rays calmly slant through my office window, casting alluring shadows across my desk. The hum of lusaka city outside felt distant as I sunk into my chair, weighed down not by fatigue, but by the echo of a friend’s broken heart. Just four days ago, his voice cracked through the phone, I could perceive a storm of tears and disbelief, "Bro, she has left me," he whispered. A little moment of silence followed, as he continued, "After everything she and I went through together, everything we shared and the plans we had for our future… she just walked away."

Despite not having gotten a hint of the lady's side of the story, his story alone is one of cruel twists. First, the job loss, then his business struggling to stay afloat. And just when he thought love would be his anchor through it all, she turned away, choosing another man because, in her words she told him he can’t take care of her anymore. Their wedding plans, the promises, all discarded like yesterday’s Zambian facebook scandals. I could only imagine how he felt as he uttered these grievous words. Indeed, love and romance is not for the faint hearted.

As he wept, I thought for a moment what I could say to him. A long time friend and brother, weeping over a woman who left him in such demeaning circumstances. I told him the very first thought that came to mind, not just as a friend, but as a brother and believer, "Be strong my brother. Endure this no matter how hurt you may feel. This pain isn’t the end of your story. It may just be the beginning of an amazing outcome."

The inspiration of my words to him comes from one of my favorite bible verses, Joshua 1:9 which says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." This verse isn’t just a comfort, rather a command. Strength and optimism isn’t optional when life comes crumbling on you, it’s a necessity and a non-negotiable. Beyond mere words, I went to see him later. We sat together, mapping out steps, networking contacts, skill refreshers, even small gigs to keep him moving. Love at that time may have failed him, but his life's purpose was just warming up.

In the quiet of my office this afternoon, I was reminded that despite the crippling afflictions life takes us through, God still allows certain things to happen to us because He knows we can endure, and there's always a lesson to be learnt. Even in the collapse of what you may value at heart, there’s a rebuilding God takes you through. And sometimes, the greatest love stories aren’t the ones we lose, but the ones we find within ourselves when we rise again.

Even in moments of disappointment, we must remain strong, knowing that God never abandons us. The most extraordinary chapters of our lives are still to be written.

It was an honor having been invited exclusively, among a few other medical doctors and healthcare entrepreneurs from around the world, to attend this special international mot founder's event in India. The event was graced by special chief guest Mr. Karthigeyan IFS the joint secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs - Government of India, and the chief guest Dr. Jivan chairman, of Le Chantier Health Services - Seychelles. The event was further enriched by a mesmerizing flute and traditional folk performance.

It was edifying and memorable having a first-hand experience on the DaVinci robotic surgical system, a robotic-assisted surgery system, following a discussion on the technological developments of robotics and AI in the medical field with an aim to significantly improve patient outcomes in our countries. This is currently the world's most widely used multiport robotic surgery technology for the performance of minimally invasive operations/procedures across medical sub-specialties.

A big thank you to the organizers for inviting me, together with a few other medical doctors and healthcare entrepreneurs from around the world. Such experiences build on global collaborations and embolden meaningful development especially in LMICs.
