I’m excited about a moment that will be remembered for generations, NASA astronaut Christina Koch has returned to Earth after a groundbreaking 10-day journey around the Moon aboard the Orion capsule. As the first woman to complete such a mission, her achievement marks a powerful step forward in space exploration—and in history itself.

Orbiting the Moon, Koch witnessed something few humans ever have: Earth rising in the distance, small and radiant against the vast darkness of space. The experience, she shared, was both humbling and transformative.

God did not design you to barely get by. He designed you to multiply.

"Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27)

And if you don’t believe me, let me introduce you (or reintroduce you) to the moment Jesus got real bold about money, mindset, and multiplication in the Parable of the Talents.

Because baby… this wasn’t just a cute Sunday School story.
This was a masterclass in wealth, responsibility, and faith in action.

💰 The Setup: Everybody Got Something

In the story, a master gives three servants different amounts of money (called talents). One gets five. One gets two. One gets one.

Pause right there.

Notice God didn’t give everyone the same thing.
That alone should cancel your comparison spirit immediately.

Some people got five.
Some got two.
And some got one.

But here’s the cultural intelligence tea:
Nobody got nothing.

✨ The Real Flex: Multiplication Over Excuses

The ones with five and two?
They flipped it. Multiplied it. Doubled it.

The one with one?
Buried it. Hid it. 

Protected it like it was fragile.

And when the master came back?

He didn’t say:
“Well… at least you tried.”

No ma’am.

He celebrated the ones who used what they had
and corrected the one who let fear talk louder than faith.

Let’s make it plain:
It wasn’t about how much they started with. It was about what they believed enough to do with it.

Creation was spiritual first.

Formation came after.

And just like that, your talents follow the same pattern.

• Your ideas? Created.
• Your confidence? Created.
• Your next level life? Already created.

But your responsibility?

To form it.

The servant with one talent stayed stuck in the created realm—
he knew he had something, but never brought it into form.

And that’s where some of y’all are right now (lovingly, respectfully 👀):

• Sitting on the vision
• Overthinking the calling
• Praying but not moving
• Dreaming but not doing

Faith without works? Still dead.

Jesus was teaching that belief + action = multiplication.

Not belief alone.
Not hustle alone.

Both.

The Problem Isn’t Your Talent… It’s Your Fear

The last servant said, “I was afraid.”

There it is.

Fear will have you:

• Sitting on million-dollar ideas
• Playing small in rooms you were called to lead
• Acting like your one talent isn’t enough

But culturally—and spiritually—this is where we shift the narrative:

Your one, used correctly, can outperform someone else’s five, used poorly.

I remember growing up, Easter wasn’t optional. You didn’t just show up—you had to participate.

You had a speech.

Not a cute little “Jesus loves me” either.

I’m talking about:

“He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities…”

And if you mess it up it was okay because you were at church.

Because somewhere in the pews sat an auntie who knew that scripture better than you AND your Sunday school teacher combined.

Now once my mama discovered I could write poetry? Oh, it was over for me.

I wasn’t reciting anymore.
I was producing original content for the Kingdom.

Poems. Dramatic pauses. Hand movements.
All before I even knew what “stage presence” was.

 The Fashion Show Nobody Talks About

Easter Sunday? Whew.

That wasn’t just church—that was a runway.

• New dress ✔️
• Shiny shoes ✔️
• Hair laid ✔️
• Hat big enough to block your neighbor’s blessing ✔️

And don’t let it be a Black grandma in the building…

She didn’t come to play. She came to represent the resurrection in full color coordination.

🎶 What Happened to the Choirs?

And can we talk about the choirs?

Not just a choir.

I mean:

• The mass choir
• The youth choir
• The children’s choir (offbeat but anointed)
• The Easter cantata that lasted longer than the sermon

Where are the plays?

Christian Movies about the Bible...And Jesus Christ coming to the world to save us.

Where is the cross on stage?

Where is the scene where Jesus rises on the 3rd day and somebody in the audience starts crying for real?

Because we didn’t just hear about Jesus… We felt Him.

⛪ Church Hopping Was a Family Affair

Easter Sunday wasn’t one service.

Oh no.

You were going from church to church like it was a holy tour:

• “My niece speaking at 11”
• “My cousin singing at 2”
• “We stopping by Big Mama’s church at 4”

Gas tank on E. Spirit on full.

🤔 So… What Happened?

Now?

We get one sermon.
Maybe a cute announcement.
And everybody’s home by brunch.

No speeches.
No productions.
No lingering presence that says, “Something sacred just happened here.”

And I have to ask…

Have we made Easter convenient… and lost its conviction?

Let’s Be Honest for a Second

Is Easter still about Jesus Christ dying on the cross?

Or has it become:

• A photo op
• A fashion moment
• A quick service before reservations

Because the truth is…

Back then, we didn’t have much—but we had reverence.

We had time.
We had intention.
We had a deep understanding that this was the moment that changed everything.

Maybe It’s Not Gone… Maybe It’s Waiting

Now don’t get me wrong—I’m not here to drag the modern church.

But I am here to remind us:

We can bring that back.

• Let the kids speak again
• Let the choirs sing like they mean it
• Let the church feel like a celebration of sacrifice and victory, not a checkbox

Because Easter isn’t just about what He did…

It’s about making sure we never forget it.

I always wondered why was Miriam seeking to sabotage Moses efforts. Did someone infiltrate his camp?

There’s a particular type of person who does not thrive in the open as light and God’s blessing, but in the shadows of manipulation, fear, and control. This person often masquerades as a spiritual authority—appearing righteous, seasoned, even prophetic—while quietly dismantling what God has built through others.

If you’ve spent any time in ministry, church leadership, or prophetic spaces, you may have encountered them.

They don’t simply misunderstand the anointed.
They oppose them.

They gaslight, isolate, undermine, and sabotage—especially those who are gifted, rising, or carrying visible favor. And Scripture shows us this pattern clearly, long before modern church politics gave it a name.

Miriam: A Warning from Numbers 10…17…Or maybe it was 11 or 16….no no I believe 12

In Numbers 12, Miriam—along with Aaron—speaks against Moses because of his wife, the Cushite woman he married.

“Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Has He not spoken also by us?” (Numbers 12:2)

At first glance, this looks like a conversation about leadership equality. But God exposes the real issue immediately: this was not about doctrine—it was about authority, jealousy, and control.

Miriam attacked Moses on two fronts:

1. His marriage

2. His God-given authority

   
   

   
   
   
   

She used spiritual language to disguise personal mean spirited personality and insecurity.

This is crucial to understand…

Miriam was not considered a random critic. She was:

• A prophetess

• A worship leader

• Someone who appeared to operate with genuine spiritual history

  
  

Her problem wasn’t Moses’ wife.
Her problem was her. Inability to discern Moses’ position.

When someone cannot stop your calling, they will often attack your relationships. When they cannot access your authority, they will try and make you question your legitimacy. When they feel threatened by your favor, they will try to make you look flawed.

Walk away. Miriam didn’t confront Moses privately. She spoke against him.

That is the mark of spiritual sabotage.

God’s Response Was Severe—and Telling

God Himself intervenes.

He does not rebuke Moses.
He does not correct the marriage.
He does not validate Miriam’s concern.

Instead, He says:

“With him I speak mouth to mouth… Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?” (Numbers 12:8)

The one who tried to isolate Moses was now isolated herself.

This is a warning:
God takes attacks on marriages and ministries seriously—especially when they come from people who should know better.

From Miriam Was A Jezebel: The Same Spirit, Different Strategy

Miriam’s leprosy reminds us:
God always reveals motives. God always protects His servants. And counterfeit authority never outlasts divine calling.

Let them talk.
Let them scheme.
Let them resist.

God speaks mouth to mouth with whom He chooses.

And no narcissist—spiritual or otherwise—can cancel that.
