OPEN LETTER TO THE CHRISTIANS IN UKRAINE

 Judges 11:13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably

When the noise of war was sounding in Ukraine since September of last year 2021, the world thought it would never happen. For one, it was too expensive for the Russia and for the other it is rather quaint that a superpower would go invade a nation at his border with a close historical tie. Yet, here we are—– those trapped, hearing the thunderous sound of bombs and witnessing the ominous armoured tanks rolling. For those of us outside, watching the unfolding horror with disbelief as video clips filtered out on social media platforms. The outrage from the rest of the world was palpable. America and European union, responded with sanctions.

The first time the word ‘WAR’, appeared in the bible, is in the book of genesis; Genesis 14:2, That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. And the last time is in the book of revelation. see Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

To you, brethren, in Ukraine, I want you to know that war is nothing new. The holy book is replete with wars. Therefore, do not see it as something strange is happening to you. Before, this unfortunate incidence there has been war as well.But know this: God is not unaware of what you are going through. The same God who was alive then is also alive now. The same God who saw his people through those days of different war is still alive and he will se you through. Know this that Christians all over the world have you in their prayers; many pulpits will open today with prayers for the people of Ukraine and many alters will offer intercession, especially to the household of faith. I want you to remember this famous passage in the bible. Psalms 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. War brings about a displacement of families, shattered dreams and hope, ruined economy and majestic structures,dead of loved ones. It is a time that will begin reminiscence of the past and that will last a long time. In the above passage, we see it. When you remember your country, you will weep. Do not stop the tears, let it flow, but do not give up hope for ever returning to your land. Brace up yourselves for whatever you may experience; there is noway it will be like your own country, but God, who was with Joseph while in prison, while as a slave in the house of Potiphar, will always be with you. Let your bible be the closest companion to you, answer your children’s questions with wisdom and without bitterness. Your hope will not fail you and, above all, your faith will become stronger. The people of Israel experience what you are going through, but never gave up trusting in God; the same God you serve, he is not man that gets old and die He remains the same in power and might, the rock of ages. The one who promised to restore all.

You shall again come back to your beloved country as the Lord liveth.

Psalms 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. This is our prayer for you all as you dispersed to other lands.

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...

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...
