  The power of a womanizer is his spending spree to his victims. –                                                         Pastor Godwin Guobadia. Day (February 14) when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts. Although there were several Christian martyrs named Valentine, the day probably took its name from a priest who was martyred about AD 270 by the emperor Claudius II Gothicus. According to legend, the priest signed a letter to his jailer’s daughter, whom he had befriended and with whom he had fallen in love, “from your Valentine.” The holiday also had origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February. The festival which celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. V...

  1 Corinthians 14:40  Let all things be done decently and in order. Ephesians 5:25,  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it Reading the accusation of a pastor against his bishop was bad enough, but when the content of the accusation has to do with Adultery [having an affair with a married person] with the wife of one of his pastors shakes one to the bones and makes the stomach churns and leaves a feeling of embarrassment; yes, embarrassed not because we know who is telling the truth but that this could even be said about a founder and his pastor. Such sordid tales are only fit for the Nigeria Nollywood, not in reality. I published the story here if you want to go through. Ever since i got hold of that story, i have tried to blot it out of my memory, but with no success for the questions keep coming up and answers are needed and what appears to be nothing but vindictiveness is on board here. Dear reader, please help me con...

  Psalms 145:12  To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Psalms 103:7  He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. Knowing the moves of God almighty puts us far ahead of our times and our contemporaries. For the thoughts of God and his ways are far removed from our own ways, which often wreaks of selfishness, hatred, and all manners of fleshy desires. But a carnal man and dusty man can not fully contain the mind of the almighty God, the little it [mind of God] offers us via the bible and the enablement of the holy spirit is suffice for us. God once told us this:  Isaiah 55:8  For my thoughts  are  not your thoughts, neither  are  your ways my ways, saith the LORD. But for those who seek shall find, let us see the three moves of God on the stamp of time. SOVEREIGNWILL : Our God is a sovereign God, i take it am addressing those who are His. [ John 1:12  But as ...

  Matthew 11:30  For my yoke  is  easy, and my burden is light. You will recall the case of a young nigerian, sentenced to death, for the sin of blasphemy last year. This blog has been following the story as it unfolds, glad to know that another judge highlighted the irregularities. This current judge has had the death sentence overturned by an appeal court in Kano state of Nigeria. The appeal court has set aside the controversial judgment and has ordered a new trial to the joy of many. They accused the Youngman of committing blasphemy against the prophet in a song he purportedly circulated via the WhatsApp apps, in March 2020. Following the incidence protesters marched to his house and razed it down with fire. To make the case more difficult, the governor of the state, Umar Ganduje, had expressed his readiness to sign the death warrant calling Yahaya names and said there should be no mercy for anyone who blaspheme the prophet. However, the presiding judge justice Nu...

  Matthew 6:10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as   it is   in heaven. One reason forwarded by the trump-must get-a second-time ardent is that Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats are anti-God. In most of their policies, they do not consider the Christians’ believes and tradition. Like the liberal outlook the Democratic Party seems to favor; gay marriage, two they are not pro-life, thirdly No democrat will back Israel like Trump did even in his first term making Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Despite, the hue and dry that followed the deed was done to the admiration of many Christians not in Israel, but in America. President Trump was quoted as saying that he “moved the capital” of Israel to Jerusalem for evangelical Christians, who he says were more excited about it than Jewish people. The president was likely referring to his 2017 order, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moving the US embassy to the city from Tel Aviv. Ever since this even...

  I tell you how God wants you to live in 2021:  Romans 1:17 says to you,  “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith”. Make prayerful declarations for 2021, plant your desires through faith and when you come across any hindrance in this journey of 2021, speak the mind of God to it and it will give way. Yearly predictions concerning our country have become a yearly affair in Nigeria. The rise of this trend dates back to the beginning of this decade, when many professed the ability to predict or to have predicted what later happened in the country. Do the gift of clairvoyance and its attendant foretelling of what would happen——– the good, the bad, the ugly and the evil. Does this ability comes from God? Yes and NO, for not all foretelling comes from the almighty One possessed with the spirit of divination can do the same, too.  Acts 16:16-17,  And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a c...

  1 Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God   is   faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear   it . This time last year the christian world in united kingdom, Spain and Nigeria was plunged into grief over the loss of a pastor and his two children in a swimming pool accident during their holidays in Spain. The sad story goes thus: The mother of two British children who drowned alongside their father while holidaying in Spain has dismissed claims they could not swim and suggested there may have been a problem with the swimming pool in which they died. Gabriel Diya, a 52-year-old Christian pastor, his nine-year-old daughter, Comfort and his 16-year-old son, Praise-Emmanuel, died on Christmas Eve at the Club La Costa World holiday resort in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. The hotel’s owner has said pol...
