ORDINATION

In the book of 1timothy3:1, the bible makes it conspicuously clear that to desire the office of a Bishop is a good thing: it does not tantamount to over ambition or pomposity .Personally, i think any one who decides to answer to the call of God has been altogether courageous. I say that because we all are too aware of the ungodliness,spiritual decadence and lifestyle alienated from the ways of God which permeates our world today;We live in a world all wants to do what seems right in their sight,overindulge his carnal cravings, no matter what that may be.What we hear every where is 'do it as long as you do not disturb your neighbor. Morality has been thrown over board.
If in the above scenario any one decides to live for God, i beg your pardon, should not such a one be commended for deciding to take the narrow part? How many men in a given lineage opts to follow God's part? We all know the scrutiny,the Criticism,the scorn.
It behooves those on this tight part to depend on the power of the Holy Spirit. see Acts1:8. Let us remember hos Deacon Stephen distinguished himself in ministration. His secret was the power of the Holy Spirit.
But to anyone who desires an office in the church there is a qualification attached. Any one , therefore, who meets the qualification should be ordained without any extra ordinary happenings to confirm it.I would rather, follow the biblical instruction than rely on any voice vision or apparition .When we wants to hear a voice from heaven before following laid down instructions we are laying a different procedure Acts1:21-24.Let us read again the qualification of the man to take over the office of Judas Iscariot.It was only after they were satisfied that the criteria was met they engaged in prayers. That to me is the order: carry out your responsibility of screening the Candidates then prayed after selection.
In following the above mentioned procedure, an ORDINATION OF A DEACONESS has been schedule to take place [1tomothy3:10]

you are all invited

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total tu...

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O.

THE UPROAR OVER A CAR GIFT

Alot of feeding and other event, but the social media was agog with one thing; the gift of Rolls-Royce car to this man of God who has an outstanding record in Evangelism in  Nigeria regarding establishing ministries in every nook and crannies of Nigeria, and extending to other African countries. The social media trend of this expensive car gift was enough to derail many young believers from their faith, and many started asking questions and wanting correct answers. When you hear from one corner, the praise of this man and what he has done in Evangelism, Education and Business, and in the other hands you hear many saying worldliness is what many church leaders of today, are known for, that the gift of two expensive cars is till now, unheard of in advance economy, let alone a country like Nigeria with 70 percent of the population wallow in poverty and living from ha...
