3 John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 1 Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; When your fight is from within , pray God you win that fight. The bible says a man's enemy shall be from his household. The word of God shall for ever remain true. For some time now, the ones sitting in the front pews have been finding it very convenient to turn around and attack their brethren sitting on the same pew. Reason? They find their brethren guilty of too much respect for the pastors, too much flowing with these pastors ,like these folks are even ready to drink the dirty water from their socks, the pastors. They wonder why these ones should be so gullible and never for ones say, no to their pastors. These front benchers do not understand why the shout out to their pastors nor the whistles and the flow each time the pa...

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 foolhardiness of the Northern Nigerian herdsmen is not unknown in religious and political circles.. I once commented on it in one of my blogs. with the passing of each day their murderous acts have taken it a step further in bloodletting adventure that knowns no limit. As to be expected the Christians leaders both in the south and north are feeling miffed. They are  speaking out. Howbeit, each one representing his own opinion unfortunately not as a force which could have added caution and guard against inflammatory statement that could easily be interpreted by the ruling class of the North as incitement to mayhem and murder. it was so few days ago, when one Apostle Johnson Suleiman of Omega and fire ministries, was arrested in another Nigeria state where he was holding or about holding a religious program. He was rescued  by the state governor, Ayo Fayose the security operatives, known as Department of state services , DSS accus...

It is important to say from the start that keeping a resolution is not a peace of cake. It is more than clinching your teeth to achieve. It takes an inner strength. like I have always averred, breaking a long held habit is like asking a lunatic to stop doing crazy things overnight, we know if he can stop he would have chosen that part long ago not to mention the mental stat responsible for his abnormal actions. But there are some of us out there, whose vices has landed us in a hotspot, had drawn tears, pain and regret.  The sad experience  kind of galvanized us to take a practical steps to change and turn a new leaf this new year. Letting old things pass away like the good book says. Know that for  the old to pass away the book says there is already a newness, a power beyond normal that propels  you to do those things that are needful see the bible book of 2 corinthians5:17 if you would . But am not talking about that kind of change now, but the change ...

 How do you make God to take back what he has said or pronounced? After all, he has told us what comes out of his mouth shall not return until it is to accomplish [life or death] .Isaiah55:11. There is only one way to move God to do or to renege what he has ordered.To do that you have to put a smile on his face and a nod of approval from his Holiness see Hebrews 11:6 God sent a man to go and tell a nation and all it inhabitant that their time was up except they repent. As if this was not enough, the prophet went there instead to pronounce judgment, telling them when the city will be overthrown. Jonah3:4-7. A man believe it is only Jesus who can bring solace to his aching heart concerning his dying servant, he went only to meet a stern rebuke, or so we think from Jesus .Mathew8:1-9. A prophet was sent to deliver the doomsday message to the house of Hezekiah that he, the head should put his household in order for his death was already sealed. Stepping over to NT  we tak...

" Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?" [the bible Luke13:4 KJV] TRAGEDY struck yesterday following the collapse of a part of a multiple story building inside the premises of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, leaving many worshipers dead, while others were critically injured Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/tragedy-scores-die-synagogue-church-building-collapses/ The collapse of mighty and gargantuan structures have always been recorded in every century, right from the time of Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, just like the tower in Siloam quoted above. When the twin tower came down many of us saw it in our living room , watching a recorded clip. We saw with horror, the twin buildings coming down one after the other with great billows of smoke and dusks. But the difference between the two above men...

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty".[1timothy2:2, the bible] It happened so quickly before I could catch my breath; the scene was nothing , but goring, blood letting and lastly the ominous sound of bones as they break and the falling of another human life, never to rise again. one more gone, one more felled by the hands of many, but with no real one in charge of the execution without trial. they call it jungle justice, whose jungle? spare me that it is nothing ,but wickedness in the hands of a mob with varying motives: some want to indulge their delight in killing a human like themselves, without paying any price or being held accountable, some wants to get their pleasure from the cries of these men as they go down the painful way to their death, no one listening to their cries of innocence, yet other wants to see the dangling private parts, hitherto covered now being expose to all...
