Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.    John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. This  pandemic no doubt, has rendered  hitherto bustling cities to take a turn for the worse,  looking like  ghost towns . We have all seen beautiful pictures on national network of  Animals that have crawled out of  their places of  abode  to find relaxing spots on the streets and on the sands. I wonder what they would be thinking might have happened to the creature called man. Bet they never thought such a day will come when the nights shall be turned to days,  for them to free roam and take naps  at will . Well,  the four footed creatures are not alone in this wonder , we men are equally wondering , too. who would h...

The world was being plunged into despair with no end in sight. Government after Government have put in place  some measure following the instruction of WHO and added some  instruction of of their own health ministries and centre of disease control.

Proverbs 17:8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.   Exodus 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. The first time i got to hear the word was when i was about 10 years old. My dad use to call my step mum Val. Then one day i felt i should make the correction and i asked hi,m why he calls her val because her name was victoria and it should be vicky not val. He chuckled and told me a little about valentine day: always in february and it is called lover's day and celebrated most part of the world, February 14  when lovers crack their brains on how to express their love in greetings and gifts. Bet you have been there when you are at a loss which cards best express your heartfelt feelings, which perfume will speak for you when she sprays it. Most times it is the men who does the giving those day, don't know if there is any change now. B...

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world.  IT  sounds impossible and implausible that Netflix, A well known streaming with millions of subscribers, would choose to air a film about Jesus depicting him as a man who is a gay. This so called jesus is indeed, not the saviour nor does it portray the one that was aptly introduce by one of the greatest prophet John the baptist when he said  John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Whatever the intention of the streaming network, it lives all good and religious people in a bad taste. This smacks of sinister motive which is, to demystify the christian message that Jesus is not just a man neither was he fathered by a man like every other man. A careful going through the scriptures will make this clear to all those who desires to know the tru...

And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse  any  falsely; and be content with your wages.
