Anything And Everything

When God Says Wait — And You Secretly Know Why By Khanyisa Manganyi There’s a kind of ache that comes from unanswered prayers. That quiet, hollow, sometimes very loud ache. You kneel. You fast. You name it and claim it. You anoint the doors, the fridge, the cat. You quote Jeremiah 29:11 until your tongue feels like a worn-out highlighter. But heaven stays politely silent. And you wonder… “Did God forget me?” But deep down, where the honesty lives — the part of you that doesn’t post online — you kind of know. You're not actually ready for what you're asking for. You just want to be. And that’s different. See, we like to imagine we’re always prepared. We say things like, “Lord, I’m ready for my husband now,” while our healing is still dripping and we’re secretly stalking our ex’s sister on Instagram . Or we pray, “God, give me that job,” but we’re showing up to life late, bitter, and half-hearted. We want the weight of blessing without the strength of discipline. And God, i...

The Battle of Vitiligo By Khanyisa Manganyi Vitiligo is one of those conditions that sparks more myths than facts, and sadly, those myths can be just as damaging as the condition itself. It’s a skin disorder that causes patches of skin to lose their pigment, creating lighter areas on the body. This happens because the cells that produce melanin — the pigment that gives our skin, hair, and eyes their color — are either destroyed or stop working. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but research points to it being an autoimmune condition , where the body mistakenly attacks its own pigment-producing cells. It’s not contagious, it’s not the result of poor hygiene, and it’s definitely not a curse. Yet, for many people living with vitiligo, the real struggle isn’t just the condition, but the stares, whispers, and wild theories. I once overheard a traditional healer talking to an elder, saying the reason her grandson’s skin looked that way was because he stole something and someone cur...

The Devil Didn’t Ruin Your Relationship — You Just Chose Someone Hot Over Someone Holy By Khanyisa Manganyi Let’s be real — brutally, unapologetically real. The devil didn’t sabotage your relationship. Stop blaming demons for decisions you made wide awake, in full makeup, with butterflies in your stomach and red flags waving like carnival banners . You didn’t “fall into sin.” You dove headfirst into it — and called it destiny . No spiritual warfare needed. Just a thirst trap and poor judgment. You weren’t under attack. You were under the spell of abs and his thick wallet. We’ve got this dangerous habit of assigning spiritual blame to things that were simply the result of carnal choices . The truth? You picked a vibe over values. You picked fireworks over faith. You picked someone who could make your heart race — but not your spirit rise. You prayed for a God-fearing partner , but when a walking temptation showed up smelling like Dior and talking smooth, your discernment packed...

Why Do We Women Relax After Marriage? By Khanyisa Manganyi Ok, I’m going to say it. South African women — some , not all — we need to talk 👀. I’m not dragging anyone, but if the wig fits, hey, maybe it’s time to brush it 💁🏾‍♀️. Let me start with a soft disclaimer before you grab your cooking spoon like a weapon 🍲⚔️: I’m not saying every woman must wear makeup and lashes that can create a hurricane when she blinks. I’m definitely not that woman. I’m natural and beautiful 😌 (yes, allow me to say that without blowing my own way too much 😅). But let’s be honest — something strange happens when a ring lands on that finger 💍. Women transform... and not always in a good way. I’ve seen it. You’ve seen it. Your neighbor’s cousin’s sister’s friend is probably doing it right now 🤷🏾‍♀️. Before the wedding, the woman is clean, stylish, neat — she looks like she was sent by Beyoncé to teach us what self-care means 👑. But after two years? Yoh! The same woman is walking around the house ...

Read the Bible, Sir — Not Just the Parts That Benefit You By Khanyisa Manganyi Let’s start with the truth: some men want a Proverbs 31 woman so bad, you'd think she was the only woman mentioned in the Bible. They want her clothed in strength and dignity, managing households, submitting like clockwork, rising before the sun, praying, fasting, and working a side hustle — all while being soft, sexy, and silent. But here's the twist: they want all that... without doing any of the leading, loving, or living like Christ themselves. Sir, respectfully — and I say this with my whole chest — sit down. Open your Bible. Start in Ephesians . You know, that part before “wives submit to your husbands”? The part that says, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her” ? Yeah, that. Leadership in the Kingdom of God isn’t about barking orders and expecting tea by 5. It's about sacrifice, consistency, and spiritual maturity . It’s about taking a...

  Sex Before Marriage Isn’t Just a Sin — It’s a Shortcut to Soul Confusion By Khanyisa Manganyi There’s a silent ache that creeps into many hearts — a deep, unspoken emptiness that comes after giving your body to someone who never promised you forever. It’s not something we post online or talk about easily. We dress it up with humor and pretend it’s empowerment. But deep down, the soul mourns. Not because we’re weak — but because God never meant for us to give sacred pieces of ourselves away so casually. We live in a world that praises “just having fun,” but behind the laughter is a generation quietly bleeding. Sex before marriage isn’t just a sin on paper — it’s a deep spiritual shortcut that leaves the heart confused, the spirit tired, and the soul in pieces. Genesis 2:24 says, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Sex was always meant to seal covenant, not play games with emotions. And when we step outside of ...

Why Most People Are Miserable and Won’t Admit It By Khanyisa Manganyi Let’s stop pretending—most people are not happy. They’re not “managing,” they’re not “getting by.” They’re miserable. But instead of owning it, they perform. Fake smiles, empty quotes, curated Instagram joy . Deep down, they know something’s off—but it’s easier to post than confess, easier to distract than deal. We’re miserable because we’ve been lied to. Told that happiness is found in success, in money, in love, in things. Told that if we hustle hard enough, we’ll arrive somewhere magical. But we never do. We’re chasing a finish line that doesn’t exist, and calling it ambition. And when that chase leaves us exhausted, we call it “growth.” Most people stay miserable because they’re afraid to pause. Silence forces you to face yourself. It whispers the truth: you hate your job, your marriage feels like a trap, you’re spiritually empty, and the things you thought would make you happy—didn’t. So you distract yoursel...

  When Money Moves In—But It's Not God Who Sent It By Khanyisa Manganyi ✨ You ever seen someone glow up so fast you start to wonder if God Himself was in a rush? One day they’re broke, borrowing Wi-Fi from the neighbor, and the next, they’re buying designer cologne just to go grocery shopping. At first, you clap, because why not? Favor ain't fair, right? But then… something smells funny. And no, it's not the Gucci Bloom. It’s spiritual. Something darker. See, not every blessing is from Heaven. Some doors are opened by hands you don’t see—and you wouldn’t want to shake them if you could. We don’t talk about this enough in church because, well, money makes people uncomfortable. Especially when it’s cursed. There’s this... let’s call it “situation.” A person, very close, started to change. They used to pray before decisions. Now they manifest. They used to tithe, now they tip the universe. They talk about “ancestors delivering bags” like it’s Uber Eats. And you can’t even c...

🎭 Married to a Masked Man: When Love Turns into Rituals and Regret   By Khanyisa Manganyi You were glowing, girl. Sparkling like a chandelier at a wedding expo. You thought you’d found him . The man who ticked the boxes — kind of handsome, kind of saved, knew a few gospel lyrics, maybe even quoted a Psalm or two when he was trying to be deep. He didn’t go to church all the time, but you told yourself, “It’s okay, we’ll grow together.” Oh, the fog of love , the dangerous drug of cloud 9 . But now? You're in a living room full of burning herbs, goat blood on the porch, and some suspicious muttering in a language you know isn’t tongues. Sis… that’s not marriage. That’s a ritual. Now you’re sitting on the edge of the bed with your Bible on your lap, flipping pages like you’re trying to find any verse that will tell you if it’s okay to leave. “Does God allow divorce? Am I just being tested?” you wonder, hoping it’s all a phase. But babe… this isn’t a trial. This is a cult initiati...

🔥 “Success, Seduction & the Delilah Dilemma: A Funny but Holy Warning to Men Who Shine Too Bright ” 🔥 – by Khanyisa Manganyi Success has a scent. And sometimes, it smells like trouble in high heels. Brothers, let’s talk. There’s a strange thing that happens when you level up—when God lifts you, when your wallet gets heavier, when your confidence finally catches up to your calling. You don’t just attract opportunities, you attract attention. And not always the good kind. Every Delilah with a lace front and lipstick will start watching your every move, humming lullabies straight from the pit. You see, Delilah isn’t just a person; she’s a spirit. She shows up dressed for the part, talks sweet, laughs at your jokes like you’re Dave Chappelle, and tells you that your wife just doesn’t understand you like she does. She’s not interested in your heart—only the secrets that make you strong. Just like Samson, she doesn’t want the man, she wants the mission. And if you’re not grounded...

The Ugly Truth About Modern Dating By khanyisa manganyi Let’s not waste time. Modern dating is a circus. A soul-sucking, algorithm-fueled, emotionally-draining performance where everyone’s wearing a mask, and no one’s actually falling in love — we’re falling into cycles, situationships, and spiritual confusion. Here’s the truth most Christians won’t say out loud: We’re dating like the world, praying like saints, and wondering why we’re left heartbroken. We swipe, we flirt, we “vibe,” we Netflix-and-cross-our-boundaries — then run back to God crying, “Lord, is he the one?” Sis, he’s not even one of the disciples. We’ve replaced courtship with chaos. We test-drive people like they’re used cars and wonder why our hearts feel totaled. Worse, we idolize "potential" over purpose. We try to fix men God never sent, or become “cool enough” for boys who can’t even spell commitment, let alone live it. And men — you chase beauty without depth, then complain when her soul can’t match...

You Can’t Sell Your Soul: The Devil’s Lie and God’s Truth By Khanyisa Manganyi You can’t sell your soul—because it was never yours to sell. That truth changes everything. In today’s world, where people think they have to give up their soul for fame, power, or money, the truth is this: your soul belongs to God . The breath in your lungs was not made by any man or deal—it came straight from the Creator. But the devil loves to lie. He tricks people into thinking they can trade something that was never theirs in the first place. The idea of “selling your soul” might sound like a story from a movie or a song, but it’s something many people believe and even fear. And sadly, some people don’t even realize they’ve made some sort of agreement. That’s exactly how the enemy works—quiet lies, hidden traps, promises that sound sweet but come with a price. The devil won’t show up with red horns and a scary voice. He comes through things people want: success, love, popularity, money, attention. He...

More Than Skin: The Silent Battles of Albinism By Khanyisa Manganyi Today I saw a young beautiful girl. She had the kind of gentle presence that stops time. Her skin was creamy and light, her figure graceful, her posture proud, and her smile—so soft, so kind—that it made me smile back without even thinking. She had albinism . Quiet, respectful, and polite, she greeted me as she passed. And then… came the moment that nearly broke me. Behind me, two elderly women whispered just loud enough for their venom to poison the air. Their words were not whispers of wisdom, but cruel remarks—disgusting, degrading, and horribly ignorant. They said things about that young girl as if she was a ghost, as if she didn’t deserve to be human. I froze in anger and shock. I thought to myself, “How can people still be like this?” Even the Bible says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6 And truly, it’s not just ignorance—it’s a failure of humanity. Albinism is not a curse. It’s ...

The Great Battle: Bra vs No Bra Chronicles By Khanyisa Manganyi Some days, getting dressed feels like a tiny rebellion or a quiet surrender. It all depends on one major decision: to bra or not to bra. Yes, the eternal battle. The underwire tug-of-war. The padded debate. The chesty chronicles that every woman, regardless of size, shape, or lifestyle, has faced at least once—if not every single morning. I often find myself standing in front of my wardrobe, one hand on a soft cozy top and the other clenching that structured little contraption society calls “supportive.” My mind battles between comfort and conformity. One part of me wants to breathe—freely, gloriously, and unapologetically. The other part whispers about social expectations, “what if someone visits,” and the possibility of joggers knocking at the door. Let’s be honest. Bras are a love-hate situation. When we find a good one (which feels rarer than true love these days), it’s like wearing a hug that says, “I got you, girl...

"K-Drama Love Fever: South Africa’s Sweet Obsession with the East" By: Khanyisa Manganyi I have a confession. A deep, soul-stirring, utterly ridiculous confession. I. Am. Obsessed. With. Korean. Dramas. There. I said it. And before you judge me, let me tell you, I’m not alone. My sister—bless her drama-ravaged heart—is far worse than I am. She breathes subtitles. Her screen lights up at exactly 7:00 PM like it's her personal golden hour, and if her favourite Oppa is crying, she’s weeping like it's her own heartbreak. The poor girl’s dinner has burned more times than she’s blinked during a plot twist. Something is happening in South Africa. Quietly. Loudly. Unapologetically. Our people—men and women alike—are falling head over heels for everything K-drama and C-drama. It's more than entertainment. It's an emotional sport . And whether you're team Lee Min-ho or team Xiao Zhan, chances are you’ve either binged a whole season in one weekend or been told to...
