Welcome to Mitchelle Obatu's Blog

The topic of faith and works is one of the most talked-about—and often misunderstood—topics in the church. I’ve had some questions on my heart, and I’d love for us to explore them together by looking at what the Bible actually says. In this video, I share those questions and the insights I’ve found from God’s Word. Take a moment to watch, and let me know your thoughts when you’re done. I’d love to hear from you!

Super babies. What's that? Silicon Valley’s New Way of Making Babies In Silicon Valley, having babies is no longer just about love and luck—it’s becoming a data-driven process. A company called Orchid, founded by Noor Siddiqui, now lets couples use genetic testing to choose the healthiest embryos during IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For $2,500 per embryo (on top of IVF costs), parents can check for over 1,200 genetic diseases and even assess the chances of conditions like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and schizophrenia. Siddiqui believes we’re entering a time when: “Sex is for fun. Embryo screening is for babies.” She envisions a world where people pick their children with the help of spreadsheets and algorithms—choosing the one with the best health profile. Orchid’s technology is already in 100+ IVF clinics across the U.S., especially popular in tech cities like San Francisco and Austin. Tech elites, including Elon Musk’s partner Shivon Zilis, are reportedly already using it. Here's ho...

Cheating just got even easier.  With the introduction of Elon Musk's new AI girlfriend, I can't begin to imagine the morally, mentally and spiritually devastating effect this AI would have on people - Christians included! And this is just the beginning.  This demonic ideation is simply meant to suck people into the world of isolation, sexual immorality, sexual perversion, sexual deviation, sexual slavery and sexual bondage. Ultimately, it is meant to pull people away from God. So let me tell you a little about this AI Girlfriend, Ani and AI boyfriend, Valentine (which I believe is still underway- not yet released). Both were created to provide raunchy services to their users. According to Economic Times, "Ani", is a sexualized anime girlfriend, characterized by her sultry voice and provocative fashion—including a short black dress, fishnet tights, and lacy choker.  Ani’s often flirtatious and playful banter has drawn immediate attention, especially since she’s current...

Meet GloRilla. The so-called gospel singer that won the BET Award for Best Gospel/Inspirational Song at the 2025 BET Awards for her song "Rain Down On Me" featuring Kirk Franklin. So I had to pull some of her pictures from her Instagram page in order to send home my point. Jesus said in Matt 7:16, "By their fruits you shall know them." Our fruits is the physical evidence of our inward transformation. A good tree can't bear bad fruit neither can a bad tree bear good fruit (Matt 7:17). And looking at the person of GloRilla, it is clear she is obviously not born-again. When you say Gospel songs, you know that these are songs that glorifies God. But if we would look at what is happening, even Gospel songs have been reduced to entertainment.  Yes, they have lyrics that 'seem' to give God glory but clearly the person who singing this song is still very far from Him. So how does it work? Am I being judgemental? No. I am just sad that what white is called black ...

Comedian Arole weighed in on this question and his answer was a big NO. And I agree with him. For those who don't know BDSM is, BDSM stands for: B – Bondage D – Discipline D – Dominance S – Submission S – Sadism M – Masochism It refers to a wide range of consensual sexual practices that involve power dynamics, role-play, and physical stimulation—often pushing the boundaries of pain, control, and pleasure. I believe that there are three questions that should guide what we do during sex in marriage. 1. Is it mutual?  God created sex to be enjoyed by both man and wife, it shouldn't be one sided. If you want to try something new and your spouse is not comfortable with it, don't force them. Let your spouse be until he/she is ready for it. 2. Is it safe?   Some couples engage in extreme sexual activities that can endanger their health or their life.  For instance: participating in degrading practices such as sadistic bondage rituals , asphyxiation (where couples are actually ar...

Do you know that parenting is a ministry? Sometimes we take our parenting role for granted not knowing that it is our God given responsibility to be intentional about raising godly children. We take every other thing serious, but we neglect our role as parents. We want to succeed in our career, if you are a pastor you want succeed in your church ministry and yet we fail to pay attention to succeeding in the ministry of parenting. Whereas in our list of priority, our children should come first. Some time back, I was thinking about the fact that one day my children would have to leave the house, stand on their own and make their own decisions and I became a little scared. But God showed my something in Isaiah 60:2 while I was confessing and meditating on that Scripture. Let me share with you what I believe from God's perspective is every parent's primary assignment in their children's life, and it is not financial security. It is not education. Whilst all these things are nec...
