In a country  like Nigeria,where Transparency international has noted high propensity for corruption my  humble take on this issue of Men of God possession who owns jet planes and flies around in Gulf streams and Bombardier jets might make you feel like hating my guts and using a meat cleaver on my head.By the way, i overheard someone say there are more private jets in the country than commercial airlines, though am yet to verify that claim. Please,am only expressing  i my opinion and should not cause you  to loos your cool. What is giving us all sleepless night is the various challenges which seems to have defy all logical solution. In case you have been hermetic of late, there is this issue that is making the round in bars and pools tables, in super markets and market square about the men of God in Nigeria who are keeping our airspace busy with their incoming and out going planes. Like with all controversies,those on the hot seats always have a reas...

It has been snowing all day long and it would take the faithful to just remember that the changing and stinging weather must never be in the way when it has do with God, service or work. yet, truth be told, if there is any day on our calender we want to sacrifice it is the day of going to service that comes cheapest. The club always provide fun, relaxation and the latest gossip, making the round in order for us to unwind. The family get together? No way! can not let that pass us it is only once a month, besides, been looking forward to discussing this issue with my brother in-law. Let it rain cat and dogs we still have to do the shopping for the preceding week  How about the social union? those who fail to show up without a convincing and cogent reason still have to pay the stipulated price for absentees.  In  these days that money is scarce who the hell wants to cough out avoidable expenses?. Yes, the children's outing. I do not h...

Yearly predictions concerning our country has become a yearly affairs in Nigeria. The rise of this trend dates back the beginning of this decade, when many profess the ability to predict or to have predicted what later happened in the country. Do the gift of clairvoyance and it's attendant foretelling of what would happen, the good, the bad , the ugly and the evil comes from God? certainly yes, but not all  foretelling  comes from the almighty.  Men have develop a penchant to stand in awe of the miraculous, the unnatural and the display of magical and spiritual power that practitioners of this trade will go the extra mile just to provide the attention they crave and the approval of many professing them to be the servant of the most high[Acts8:9-18] the penchant, the paparazzi style,the publicity tends to showcase those who we think has a one way access to God. My point here is this: men have decided to tell us those who have the ability to do this. the ability to tell...

DutchNews.nl - Religious groups are worried about Sunday shopping plans This is  a step further, on the issue of insensitivity on the part of the government in terms of respect of religious affiliation is concerned, especially, in European countries.  The Netherlands, in question, have always carried the trophy when it comes to breaking the rules; red lights district, legalization of Soft drugs, Euthanasia and so forth. If this business as usual goes on on Sunday as being planned, it will no doubt, affect the spirituals receptivity of a populace. It is on record that most majestic edifices used in ancient times for religious services have been callously converted into shopping malls and cut into smaller spaces for any one who cared enough to  apply. This is not giving a damn about the minority who still wants to stick to 'old time religion'. With such glaring testimonies in every nook and crannies, the big religious movement started to experience  a trickling in ...

The word 'TRUST', has an interwoven meaning.Depending on how you want to use it. Trust is spiritual as well as circular in usage and meaning. The former has to do with the SPIRITUAL, with those who possess the power, the enabling ability to carry out whatever tasks they deem fit for their attention. In the bible, we are commanded in the book of Isaiah26:4, ' trust ye in the lord Jehovah for in the lord Jehovah is an everlasting strength'. The two words, EVERLASTING AND STRENGTH  separates the immortals from the mortals.  Trust in God or a higher mortal. This is a blind trust based on the belief that He is able to do what he says and also able to help you no matter the situation you might find yourself; it is pinning all your hope in this one being, God, without reservation whatsoever. The word 'everlasting and strength' is important for trust to be fully operational. for this two words to exist, then there is a prove that you are a divine being, because this po...

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...
