WHY DO CHURCHES FLOURISH YET SIN ABOUNDS? Pt 1

Judah

One would expect that with the proliferation of churches today, especially, in our country and in Africa as a whole, immoral acts such as, idolatry, adultery, swindling (scamming), bribery and corruption, broad daylight extortion of money in the name of Christ and other forms of moral decadence would decline but the reverse is true; they are rather on the ascendency. Most of the perpetuators of these crimes are the ‘dream-and-become-a-pastor-overnight guys’. Their victims are the poor and needy, the marginalized in society who are also gullible, desperate to become rich…

MARRIAGE – TURN YOUR MARRIAGE INTO A GARDEN Pt 9

Judah

THE ART OF CREATION, PROCREATION AND RECREATION. Couples must explore and exploit their creation mandate for a blissful home and a refreshing marital relationship. Every hidden natural resource must be explored and exploited for it to be beneficial to mankind. Similarly, marriage is God’s divine resource or institution which must be explored and exploited. Now hear this: there is crude oil in your marriage. There are diamond and gold in your marriage. There are cattle, lion and lamb in your marriage. There are palm trees and cedar in your marriage.…

THE ART OF CREATION, PROCREATION AND RECREATION.

Judah

TURN YOUR MARRIAGE INTO A GARDEN. (8) God made Adam a co-Creator with Him at creation. Do you still remember the components of our definition of marriage? (Refer to Part 2 of this Series). Suffice it to say that marriage is for creation, procreation and recreation. Genesis 2:19 -20 ”And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was…

BEING A CHRISTIAN, EVEN IN DEATH; THE STORY OF THE ADEBOYES

Iposu Elijah Oluwakayode

1 Thessalonians 5 vs 18 says, “in all things give thanks.” This has been the character, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye and the entire family have projected since the passing of their son and brother, Pastor Oluwadamilare Adeboye. In what looks like a well written script of one of Evangelist Mike Bamiloye’s blockbuster inspirational Christian movies, the entire Adeboye family have held on to God and refused to break down in mourning after the loss. Rather, they have chosen to simply thank God for the privilege to have been a part…

MOVIE REVIEW: ABEJOYE, WHEN YOU GIVE CHRIST THE WHEEL

Iposu Elijah Oluwakayode

“Jeeeeeesu Olayiotan Abejoye, sanu fun mi.” These were the words muttered by Oloye Oluoje after his evil attack on Abejoye, a one-time evil genius who had encountered Christ and given his all to Him backfired. You might be wondering what this is all about. It is not a real-life story, but it is an enactment of the life of an occultic War Lord who found Christ in an unusual manner during a visit to his children in America. The movie, Abejoye comes from the staple of Mount Zion Films, a…

CHRISTMAS AND COVID-19 AS NIGERIA RECORDS HIGHER FIGURES

Judah

Nigeria – Source: Premium Times Like other celebrations held earlier this year, Nigerians may have to settle for a low-key Christmas considering the rising COVID-19 cases in the country.

According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), the last time such a high figure was reported was between June 21 and 27 when a total of 4,269 new cases were recorded. At…

CHURCH FOUNDERS, SELFISH PASTORS ENGENDER DISUNITY IN CHURCH THROUGH UNSCRIPTURAL MESSAGES: part I

Judah

Child of GOD, if anything should be of utmost concern to us today, it should be the disunity within the Body of CHRIST engendered by some of our Church Founders due to their selfishness. Before I continue, let me make this clear, I am not advocating for unification of the goat with the sheep. I am rather crying out for the unity of the flock of the GREAT SHEPHERD, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. No parent ever loves to see his/her children disunited or dwell in persistent conflict. None of our…

STILL SMASHING THE GLASS CEILING

Judah

“standup and standout, own your words and be ready for self-change.” Like the concept of the mirage, there is nothing ahead to warrant any fears. Women must journey on confidently to the top. I am not asking women not to anticipate the hurdles ahead. I am advising them to build the springboard and not to go around looking for the springboard. Women must push themselves. Resilience is a guiding word. Give room for expansion, build capacity and be tenacious. Being firm is to be assertive and assertiveness is a skill,…
