ON THE FLIPPED SIDE OF THE PADERMIC


Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

  John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


This  pandemic no doubt, has rendered  hitherto bustling cities to take a turn for the worse,  looking like  ghost towns . We have all seen beautiful pictures on national network of  Animals that have crawled out of  their places of  abode  to find relaxing spots on the streets and on the sands. I wonder what they would be thinking might have happened to the creature called man. Bet they never thought such a day will come when the nights shall be turned to days,  for them to free roam and take naps  at will . Well,  the four footed creatures are not alone in this wonder , we men are equally wondering , too. who would have thought that in this century of technological advancement  and excellent medical research and disease control, that man would have be so caught off guard and the world will be caught unaware  by   covid19?  Like a thief that comes in the night, before man could wake from his slumber, it has taken it toll and the world still, gaping in wonder, was   counting  his dead  in thousands. It is needless,talking about the hundred of thousands that have lost their lives due to this pabermic. But we should not  forget  too that there have been some benefits of this lockdown. some have listed for your consideration and for you to flip the coin. Let us not forget that despite those who die from this pandemic record so far have shown that those who recover far exceeds those who die. It is time to lift up our head and look to heaven for strength Psalms 121:1 ,. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

1  Those who have  children have taken the time to build closer bond with them. many of us were families , yet strangers . living under the same roof, but far apart in mind ,vision and emotional attachment . Our work has gradually taken all  the time we have, leaving little space if any ,to bond with the kids. When we jet off in the morning to pursue our daily bread we only come home late  find some food and flop into bed  because we are simply fag out. They in turn have found solace in games and online activities. This compulsory lockdown  turned that around we see the beauty of these kids, bond with them.play  games and feel like a family, indeed. Some of us are learning how to play online games thanks to these boys,

2   Husbands and wives have found time to be together like during dating and courtship. this lockdown has  rekindled  love in many homes. laughter has found a way on once again in the absence of official duties and full agendas, many have found  the arms of spouse once again.

3  For christians homes the morning fellowship have taken a toll due to the busy schedule of both parents,  but now with everyone at home it fellowship have been revived. And the family alter is once again hot. more time for request, intercession and all kinds of prayers. Time to know how much our kinds really know about the thing of God.

4  Now many are able to make those important calls to relations. there have been time to rob minds together and to talk about the challenges faces us as parents, workers and as christian..

5   Genesis 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
   it is also time to become more a spiritual person by engaging in meditation and having quiet time with God,

6  Household chores if you are like me there are some nooks and crannies in my house that needs cleaning and scrubbing. it is  do some real cleaning that we have been neglecting.Thus make all look "spick and span", A couple discovered old pictures that alone brought back memories long forgotten and a renewal of love.

7    Pull out those drawers and get hold of those tapes.Those christian messages on tapes we  bought , but had not been able due  to absorb  the blessings  because of time factor,

Above all draw strength from the word of God the bible says. Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.


Let us not faint or be dismayed .


will be seeing you,

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

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. And the most symbolic blood of all, the one you will mostly hear people proclaim, confess and exalt is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity. This among others reason is that sin, which has separat...

THE UPROAR OVER A CAR GIFT

 Recently, the general oversea and founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, marked his 70th birthday. 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...
