When the Spirit Moves, the Nation Reflects

-
As Christians living in Mauritius, we cannot ignore that the Church and the nation often move in parallel. What happens in the spiritual life of the Church quietly shapes the atmosphere of the land.
When the Gospel was preached with power — like the time when Ciceron came and believers gathered with one heart — there was unity among churches. People prayed together, worshipped together, and focused on Christ rather than on labels. In that same season, the country witnessed political unity as parties formed alliances, speaking the language of togetherness and shared vision.
The Bible reminds us:
“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation.”
— Matthew 12:25
With time, differences arose. In the Church, interpretations varied, leadership visions clashed, and some separations happened — not always out of rebellion, but often out of misunderstanding, wounded hearts, or pride. New churches were formed, many of which today are established and influential.
Politics followed the same path. Alliances broke. Parties divided. New movements emerged. The pattern repeated itself because the same human hearts were involved.
Scripture already warned us:
“For where there is envy and self-seeking, confusion and every evil thing are there.”
— James 3:16
Yet the heart of this reflection is not criticism — it is hope.
The early Church gives us a powerful picture:
“They all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication.”
— Acts 1:14
And what followed was transformation.
“All the believers were together and had everything in common… And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
— Acts 2:44, 47
If churches in Mauritius choose to remain united in prayer — not necessarily under one name, but under one Spirit — many good things can happen. Healing can flow into families. Wisdom can guide leaders. Peace can cover our communities. Justice and compassion can grow quietly but firmly.
God’s promise is clear:
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
— 2 Chronicles 7:14
Mauritius does not need a perfect Church. It needs a praying Church. A humble Church. A united Church in spirit and love.
Because when the Church kneels together, the nation stands stronger.

Soul Ties and the Dangers of Multiple Sexual Partners

-
Image
In today’s world, the concept of casual relationships and multiple sexual partners is often celebrated. However, the Bible offers a deeper understanding of sexual intimacy, revealing the spiritual connections—often called "soul ties" —that are formed with each sexual encounter. These ties can leave individuals vulnerable to emotional, spiritual, and even physical consequences. Understanding Soul Ties In the Bible, sexual union is much more than a physical act. It is an intimate connection that binds two people together at the soul level. Genesis 2:24 speaks of this union:  "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." This "one flesh" connection represents a deep, indivisible bond, something that transcends mere physical closeness and touches the very soul of both individuals. When someone engages in sexual relations with multiple partners, it creates multiple soul ties. Each ti...

18 Days Since Dubai… and Grateful for the Lessons

-
It’s already been 18 days since I returned from my short vacation in Dubai, and I’m still so thankful for the memories made. The trip was refreshing, exciting, and filled with moments that reminded me how beautiful life can be when you step away for a while. But coming back taught me a different kind of lesson. Instead of being met with happiness from some family members or close ones, I was faced with silence, jealousy, and even comments like, “You’re wasting money,”—as if it was theirs to begin with. That kind of negativity could’ve easily dimmed my joy… but it didn’t. Because the most unexpected people—strangers, customers, and true friends—were the ones who smiled, cheered me on, asked about the trip, and even said, “Wishing you more travels ahead,” and “God bless you.” That genuine love touched me deeply. It reminded me of a powerful truth: Sometimes, it’s the people you least expect who wish you well… and the ones you call your own who secretly wish your downfall. But guess what?...

Can Christian Women and Girls Wear Sarees or Put Mehendi Drawings on Their Hands?

-
The question of whether Christian women and girls can wear sarees or apply mehendi (henna) designs often arises in cultural and religious discussions. Some believers wonder if these practices align with biblical teachings. To answer this, let’s examine Scripture, cultural contexts, and practical Christian living. 1. Clothing and Modesty in the Bible The Bible does not specify particular garments for Christian women but emphasizes modesty, humility, and godliness in appearance. 1 Timothy 2:9-10 – "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." 1 Peter 3:3-4 – "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is...
