  Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Merry chrismas to you. This is a message of love and best wishes. It is a time to send best wishes to loved one and acquaintances and a time good enough to forgive those who have erred against us as we, too, have developed the humility to ask forgiveness from those we may have offended. This is so because the season is about love express in giving: the giving of time to children, to our old mothers we have not seen since the beginning of this year the giving of gifts to loved ones and the sending of best wishes to others. God the father, the personification of love, started this when he sent Hiis only son to the sinful for a sin solution.  John 3:16 , For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. As we go about showing lov...

  To do justice to this topic, we should define who a Christian is and what he possesses or enjoys. A Christian is a person who enjoys some spiritual benefit and has a new spiritual identity, a newness of life and a renewed mind. Most of these are invisible to the ordinary person except when some fruits manifest and his new views become obvious to friends and family members. No wonder the bible says ‘if any man is in Christ he is a new creature’. What is a curse? A curse is any words, incantation or invocation with a negative effect, issued from any person. It works because it carries with it the potency to achieve its effect. A curse has mobility without borders. Hence, a curse can affect somebody in Cincinnati in America, even if it is from far away cape or Cairo. Curses don’t just affect anybody, there are reasons that can happen. Some curses are relative, while others go from one generation to the next in a family. To make easily understood i will make use the power of some dis...

  Every man born into this world goes through a tripartite experience,if he live a full circle. Apostle paul highlighted the initial stage while writing his first epistle to the christian at Corinth. Hear him:   1 Corinthians 13:11, ”  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child; I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things”. THE FIRST STAGE: owing to the inexperience and curiosity coupled with an impressionable mind, every child thinks he can go all the way, do whatever he feel like doing,they take risk for thier brain can not understand nor comprehend what is dangerous or what death means. That was what Paul was trying to put across to the young Christians at Corinth. This stage is the stage of restricted freedom, freedom with a limit. They are told by parents, guardians, and teachers and help what they can touch, play with. They are told what to place in thier mouth, eat or what they can drink. Most times, the kid respon...

  When we come to God, all our experiences are spiritual. The first is the forgiveness of our sins and trespasses; Whether we are the worst person alive or considered as the best person, Professed Christians need forgiveness. For indeed, the sin that condemns us before God is not just our own, but the sin that is inherited. Therefore, it is imperative for us to confess and own up to the fact that our goodness is nothing before God. See   Mark 2:17  When Jesus heard   it , he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. The newcomer must appreciate the fact that our main aim of coming to God is not for him to make us financially well off because we pay our tithe like some would want to preach, but that He has saved us from the eternal damnation that the Devil wants us to experience. Another thing we must appreciate is that generational curses that manifest in ou...

  “Having a swimming pool without fencing in a compound where we have tiny tots that are hyper and want to play in the water, like they sometimes do, with daddy could spell disaster .” [Godwin Guobadia] Here is a Tabloid’s way of writing about the incident that took a way the little boy of David Adeleke, the Nigerian celebrity also known as Davido: “On 20 October, when Davido and his wife, Chioma, marked the third birthday of Ifeanyi Adeleke, their son, Davido made a simple request to God. In a prayer he shared on Instagram, he asked God to allow the boy to grow greater than he is. “I pray with all my heart that God grants you perfect health and pure happiness for as long as humanly possible. You will grow to be greater than me, Happy birthday, son @davidifeanyiadeleke!”, the singer wrote. But just 10 days after, God had a different idea. He took the boy away by drowning, causing anguish for the inconsolable parents, friends, and relations. Ifeanyi’s death brought back the memory o...

  We believe some of the most fascinating sites in biblical history to be in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including Mount Sinai, where Moses heard from God. Today, the area deep in the northwest corner of the Saudi desert is more populated by camels than people, but if Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has his way, this area rich in biblical history could soon to be lost to a major development project. The heir to the Saudi throne recently announced the region as the site of his new $500 billion megacity, which might one day house up to nine million people and re-think everything about how people live, work, and play. They touted the project as the most modern, forward-thinking and climate-friendly city in the world, but few people are aware of the deep biblical history of the area. Those who are aware wonder if the planned mega-project will help or harm the historic value of the region. Andrew Jones has been studying biblical archaeology for more than a decade. CBN News followed hi...

  Jeremiah 7:11  Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen   it , saith the LORD. Matthew 21:13  And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. The church of Christ, the post resurrection church functioned with a full mandate and knowing from the onset, their task. this they face without blinking or distraction; they never wavered nor stop from these task. the act of the apostles is replete with their experiences in the hands of fellowmen and roman soldiers and the roman government. Tortured beaten, chained, imprisoned with hands and feet bound in stocks, but any time of respite they stood their ground and refused to renounce their faith and their confession of the lord Jesus as savior. See this example in  Acts 4:10;   Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, ...
