Victims and Bereaved. These are two conditions which humans do not want to experience , but has come to stay with mere mortals like us. We in our fears and weaknesses never wants to think of what to do when grief comes. We are often thrown off balance when we are suddenly as it were, confronted with such incident. Sadly, in this sinful world, no one has protection against grief. No wonder, the bible says we look forward to another place, yes, another place, where there is protection against accidents and suicide bombers, indeed, they do not even occur. Few days ago, in Nigeria, we all listened with much anxiety to the news about the air disaster that  happened  in Lagos. The flight was  from Abuja.  According to report, there were one hundred and fifty passengers on board. Our prayers and hope was that there will be survivals. [the plane crashed into a densely populated area in Lagos, in a city said to be one of the fasted growing cities in the world]. The news th...

There is indeed, a difference between a mother a woman and a wife. For without a mother there will never be a wife or a woman. To send a nation into extinction remove motherhood and all that has to do with prenatal and post natal experiences from the land. The bible says when the pharaoh of those days felt the growth of the Hebrews were becoming a threat he outlawed the survival of every male child. They must be killed. see Exodus2:1-4. Show me a great nation and i will show you mothers that are not afraid to give birth. W.o.m.man,is the spiritual endowment given by a loving creator to all females and every right thinking woman should be proud to be a woman.The breast,voice,pelvic,waist are all there to make it easy for her to care for the bay on the inside and after delivering. Therefore, i bind in the name of Jesus every bareness in the life of any woman reading this or near me. your feminine qualities are not there by accident and you must not take no for an answer except you do no...

One could easily sneer at such a promise coming from a mere mortal, especially in these austere times with the powerful nations admitting near failure in proffering solutions. 'But thou shall remember the lord thy God for it is he that give thee power to get wealth , that he may establish his covenant which he swear unto thy fathers , as it is this day'. The exception to the above rule is that this promise is for all who believes and are become the a royal priesthood and an holy nation.[1peter2:9] what, therefore, is the power to get wealth? in the original Greek there are many words referring to power. 'Dunamis' also refers to power, but of God via the Holy spirit chiefly to display the miracle of God. the word 'KOACH', pronounced 'KO-AKH' which refers generally to human, angel or even God's power, is what is use in Deutoronomy8:18. the primary race who got this promise were the Jews. The 'koakh' is not a physical display of strength, but a ...

Peradventure, before the law it is possible to be guiltless or not having a crime record, but before God almighty this is not the case because the laws of God is not mostly the laws of men therefore, the standard is different.God eyes having roved over the earth could not find one that is righteous coupled with our sin nature declares that, 'all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. see the book of Romans3:23. the God , whose cloak is righteousness can not condone sin. right from the first fall into sin of Man God has in mind immediate to find a permanent solution to sin problem for immediate solution there was a coverage of sort so that sins are hidden like being swept under the rug, nevertheless it was there.this practice was carried out by a priest on a yearly bases and it was called atonement; a process where a lamb without sport was slain to atone or take the place of the sinner. this sacrifice was did not wash away our sins therefore, God got the perfect lamp in fo...

How do you provoke God to pour out his blessing upon you despite the gloom being predicted by the expert for the fast approaching 2012? one can hardly see any brightness in the horizon when pitched against their conclusion. 'And it came to pass as the man of God has spoken to the king, saying, two measures of barley for a shekel and a measure of flour for a shekel, shall tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria. And that lord answered the man of God and said, now, behold, if the lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, behold thou shall see it with thine eyes , but shall not eat therefore'. [ Bible, king James version] When there is so much gloom, so much despair, filling the air of our tomoorw and marring our hope of the future one can not, but utter in the negative like the Lord in the aforementioned bible passage. it takes a strong faith not to believe when men , skilled and tried in economic affairs and global economic shifts with ...

I bring greetings to the young men becau s e it is you that God has given the mandate to carry vision. The bible says the old men shall dream dreams ,but young men has been given the most important task: which is to carry the vision. This is so because it is you that has been endowed with strength, energy, vigor and enthusiasm to carry on the heavenly task.[Joel2:28] I bring greetings to the women because it is your devotion and loyalty that makes praise to flow. And with that comes the presence God almighty into the Sanctuary: your position is so important for without HIS presence our gathering will be like any other gathering devoid of spiritual undertones. I bring greetings to the youth, because you own the future. A church without youth can not be certain of the future. Look around us today, in the vicinity of Europe we see many majestic buildings that once housed churches, but presently abandoned because the present generation do not want to follow after God like their fo...
