  “Luke 18:18  And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Man, from a time immemorial, has always nursed a desire to live without experiencing death, expiration or stoppage of the heartbeat; if there is any price to pay in-order to live for eternity,to have a life without end, most men would certainly go for it . On the frontline would be the billionaaires and the last roll would be the poorest, who would like ti get it by hook or crook means. What comes with aging is looked at with trepidation, we try trying to stop it from coming; If we can not then it is best to hide it from sight. Is it gray hair or balding , is it growing weaker by the year? man has found the solution in transplants and wigs, workout and cardio activities. The Bible talks about the advent of old age in the book of  Ecclesiastes 12:1-6,  Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when...

  John 20:29  Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed   are   they that have not seen, and   yet   have believed. ARCHAEOLOGICAL evidence linked to the Biblical character Balaam can prove the people mentioned in the Bible were historical figures, a scripture expert has astonishingly claimed. According to the Bible Old Testament, Balaam was a prophet and diviner, perhaps best known for his talking donkey. It describes his exploits in the Book of Numbers, which is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible. Balaam is believed to have dwelt in the ancient lands of Mesopotamia, where Balak the king of Moab commissioned Balaam to curse the Israelites around the year 1400 BC. Professor Tom Meyer from Shasta Bible College and Graduate School in California, US, told Express.co.uk: “Balaam is probably best remembered for the Biblical account of his donkey speaking to him in a human voice to stop his insane action of cursing...

  Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Let us read together Luke 9:54-56, And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them . And they went to another village. Self evaluation is a humble yardstick to our capabilities, and how far people also rates us, by listening how other perceive our action or contributions to society. Even though relying on the external to know our worth is very difficult, as men often will acknowledge our worth after our departure from earth. With a christian, the way to know is through the word of God, the bible. The bible teaches us to test every spirit if it is of God, just like Jesus reb...

  2 Timothy 4:14-15 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.[KJV]In this era of social media, anyone can remain anonymous while spewing hate and insult, under the guise of free speech. Those targeted are often tempted to reciprocate in like manner. In this kind of scenario, the pastor or a person of who comes online to express his faith are mostly the target of such hate. If no constrains is applied, the victims find himself resorting to petitions God, to visit such persons with indignations and holy fury, that knows no bound. Many a times the christian who comes online to express his faith is bullied, insulted and called unprintable names.The subject of faith attracts negative comments than another subject. In the above passage, Apostle Paul did not mention the harm that the said Alexander the coppersmith did him, but from other bible reference we know that he was on...

 Man Quits Church As Pastor Tells Congregation To Contribute Money For Wife. Omooba Adeleye, has joined the crew. It is no news that social media dome is a hangout for lies, malice and exaggerations in negativity against the pastor. He just fired a good one at pastor[s] using[imaginary?] one as a scapegoat. Why not? If social media attacks kills- pastors ,evangelists and other workers in the "vineyard", especially the ones in Nigeria, would have all been cut down by hails of bullets from critics like Adeleye. Should anyone bother? No, of course, after all, one way to get attention, one way to attack clergymen is to go on social media, post a story that sound outrageous and can not be verified; one that would leave us with our mouth hanging, such as the above handle from X. It is a no brainer to bastardize and portray one religious sect in bad light, in a pluralistic society like ours on social media . Many indulge in this campaign of calumny because any bad news agains...

 ' Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased'. Jesus of Nazareth, the Messaih, was the only one whose coming into this world and mission was predicted, contrasted with founders of other major religions in the wolrd . Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Matthew 3:3, For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.Christ, is the only one who had a forerunner sent to prepare the world for his coming in the person of john, the baptist Matthew 3:11-12, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, ...

  The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. “She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. “She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed people. “Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA. “Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. “She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!” Trump posted on Truth Social. For more clarity, below are the bishop’s words:Addressing the President, Budde said, “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families—some who fear for their lives. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear their...

 'NO FOUNDER OF KNOWN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT HAD A FORERUNNER NOR PERFOMED MIRACLES LIKE THIS JESUS; AGAIN HE FORGAVE SIN AND WE SAW THE EFFECT.' Here is my final article to persuade, encourage, renew and enlighten us, that Jesus is the son of God, depending on your spiritual status. I started from the onset i never took to Christianity because it was fashionable . My conversion was out of my personal investigation and also remembering my parents' disappointment of their status quo after selling properties to appease gods for good health; my father never really found peace or good health until he embraced the christian faith. This experience encourage me in this race and also gave me respite from my father, who was not really happy with my faith. The reason i christened my daughter Daisy is that the book i read 'how to be born again', was written by T.L Osborn, whose wife was called Daisy. I believe those who introduced you to the part of eternal life gave you the best ...

  Genesis 3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. The coming of the son of God [incarnation] was hinted in this verse. A woman does not have seed, but a man. if a woman should give birth without the seed of a man then that itself is a miracle. This miracle was necessary because the seed of Adam, from whence came all seeds that produce humans was already corrupted by sin.[ you can not wash a dirtywhite clothing with muddy water and expect it to remain white. Paul explaining this to us, said in the in  Romans 5:12  ,Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: If therefore, an atonement must come it has to be from a being, a man, who does not have the blood of Adam. This is impossible. God has to make a provision, for his son to come in the flesh, born as man,[ incarnation of c...
