one time host of ‘the transformation with Reno Omokri’, a Christian teaching television program, that was once airing on San Francisco’s KTLN-TV and Detroit’s Impact, but more known for his political antecedents and comments, on Nigeria political situation, rather than a pastor, has given a clear answer to the controversy on why Mary the mother of Jesus was clearly written on a mosque in Dubai united Arab emirates. Hear him on one of his outings on social media: It is somewhat surprising that Nigerian Christians, and even a newspaper like Punch, are surprised that there is a mosque named after Mary, the mother of Christ, in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Those asking Nigerian Muslims to learn from Dubai, are actually the ones who should learn from Nigerian Muslims. They are relatively ignorant of Islam. The most Islamic state in Nigeria is Sokoto. And one of the most common names in that seat of the Islamic Caliphate is actually the name of Christ. Isa is not a Hausa name. Isa, or ...

  Revelation 8:4,  And the smoke of the incense,   which came   with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. [KJV] There are different prayers that ascends before the throne of God , mixed with incense. As you are aware, every incense give out a sweet smelling aroma hence the title.What are the best prayers that God answers? There are two prayers that God desires and yearn to hear from us. God listens to all conversations and prayers, but not all prayers are answered. But to make this clearer, I have to go further. For what teacher ignores a question and feels at ease thereafter? I will make it as easy as possible, for the message of salvation must be simple enough, for all to comprehend. Let us go to the bible book of Genesis. After the fall of man in the garden of Eden, what God never intended started to happen. Death was introduced thus. There was a need for another Adam to rectify what Adam messed up. God , being the embodiment ...

  Everyone has found a place to talk. Social media!. We have it all here. Some share personal opinions, while others try to educate and enlighten. Social media is a place where those who follow the some path are fed with a steady diet of lies and misinformation with the aim to discredit certain persons, institution, or country. But my concern here, is the weaponization of it as a tool to cast aspersions and discredit the church, a campaign of calumny, against the church or a prominent persons of the christian faith. Many lacking common sense and self-control can be ” carefully groomed” to see nothing good in their church, or pastors in general. Those who advocates sanity are often villified and called unprintable names. Many traffic in negative news against pastors, churches and christian institutions and many who knows little to nothing about the christian faith, tell the unwary beleivers that contributing to the church financially makes them gullible and infact, these ones are on...

In the bible, we read that many came to jesus; not all came to hear him, some came to find what they might use to entrap him, others came to find immediate solution to thier problems and some came because they perceived he is the missiah, the promised saviour as promised in the book of  Isaiah 9:6-7,  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of  his  government and peace  there shall be  no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hos...

  One of the first popular christian televangelist to juxstapux christian religion with politics,   Pat Robertson, a Baptist minister with a passion for politics, has slept in the lord.   2 Timothy 4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished   my   course, I have kept the faith:The above sripture summise the life of this enigma man of God who founded the Christian Broadcasting Network, CBN.Perhaps best known for offering prayer and political commentary at the helm of The 700 Club, the flagship program of his media ministry, Robertson’s rise to prominence is rooted in what he called a vision from God to create The Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded in 1960.

[KING JAMES VERSION] Like in the middle of a book, we have come to the middle of this year. Praise God! Despite the antics, plans and scheming of the devil and his cohort, the Lord, we are reminded by the above scriptures has remained faithful to his promises. We should continue to live by faith and push forward. Therefore, let us revisit our write up during the beginning of this year: N never you look back at the failures, setback of the previous year, you can not be in the past and the present; that is why you do not have eyes on the back of your head. Ahead, forward looking, no-matter what, is the way to win the game of life. E energies for the now. You are in the present; how you handle it will determine your tomorrow. Stop daydreaming and wild goose-chase. W winning mentality is a must if you want ...
