Gaza's woes

Image
It's been seven months of destruction, devastation and deaths in Gaza. Over 35,000 dead and 80,000 injured. Considering the continued terrible scenes and reports from the war, one is left to wonder where all this leads to. As a Christian and bible prophecy enthusiast, I have tried to understand what is happening in Gaza, I have undertaken extensive research to know the historical and prophetic sides to the events and the spiritual implications on the whole of humanity. And I want to share here some of the things I have come to understand. Let me begin with the prophecy in Amos 1:6-8 "Thus saith the Lord, for three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them upto Edom. But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof. And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand...

What happened to us?

I thought by now, my country would have been an envy amongst the comity of nations. But no, we are only a shadow of what we are supposed to be. Simply because our  leaders are leapers who lack what it takes to go far.  Instead of propelling the country into prosperity and development, they have turned the country into a wagon for self promotion and aggrandizement. I am also dazed at the kind of people we Nigerians are. A people whose resilience has gradually become foolishness. Is it not unimaginable that thesame oppressed masses are the first to condemn and criticise anyone who rises in their defence? We are like the proverbial slaves who love their chains. We are a people very good at suffering and smiling.  We are a people whom once we have enough for ourselves and our families we are no longer concerned about the millions of others who have nothing and are dying in penury and poverty. Tell me, What is the fate of a country who would invest lavishly in fun a...

Debate in Church

Many Christians have had to argue  and debate with each other on many issues such as sin, righteousness, God's love and judgment, justification, holiness, etc. These days, social networks have become a platform for such regular debates.  click here

HE LIED TO HER.

Image
 From the beginning, woman has been the first and easy target of Satan’s subtlety and lies. In the garden of Eden, He said to the woman: “hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” With just this question, he extracted a most vital information from her and presented to her a lie. That old serpent, the devil, shattered the truth of God’s word right in the face of the woman.   …And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die, for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (Gen 3:4-5)

Hard truth from Pastor E. A. Adeboye

If you read open heavens devotional of 3 rd November 2016, then, this is no news to you, but don’t rush out because there’s yet something new in these for you. But if you didn’t, then, these writs are fully yours for the taken. Pastor E. Adeboye in that devotional titled “Matrimonial Robber” wrote extensively and bluntly on one of the vices plaguing our society today. A vice that is so common and popular, that it has become a norm; Deadly, yet selling. The alarming divorce rates; the emotional injuries here and there; the disappointments, frustrations and lack of fulfillment in many lives owe to this vice. Here it is:

A disposable nest: Is this really what the earth is?

Image
Growing up in a remote part of the country gave me the opportunity for some adventures not common to dwellers in highbrow areas. These included fruits gathering, bird hunting, tree climbing, etc. Many times during these adventures, I will come across things that will leave me wondering and thinking. The bird nest was one of such things. Sometimes, it was an empty nest, at other times a nest with eggs or one with fledglings. Some of the questions that will run through my little mind then include:

...where you baptised in the name of paul?: a question many Christians should answer.

The increasing level of fanaticism associated with church labels and general overseers, is a proof that denominationalism is a force that every christian needs deal with as we earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The word denominate means 'to give a name to' or 'to designate'. In this sense, every group of 'Christians' operating under a particular name consist a denomination. But denominationalism on the other hand means to emphasize denominational differences to the point of being narrowly exclusive. So the problem is not necessarily the existence

You don't need a sooth sayer, a Pastor or Reuben Abati to tell you that the supernatural is a reality.

Some hours ago I read an article by Peter  Ntephe of the cable news. This article was in criticism of Dr Reuben Abati's   the spiritual side of Aso Villa  which flooded  the media two days ago. I was particular disturbed at Peter's atheistic approach in his criticism. He criticised the reality of the supernatural and denied totally the possibility of such demonic manifestations in Aso Rock as described in Dr Abati 's claim. With many other readers lending their voices in his support due to

I think the problem really is misinterpretation: see what this is all about

  Satan has so perverted the gospel of grace such that a 'Christian' can get up in the morning from the bed of fornication without guilt, wipe himself or herself with the towel of grace, go out on christian activities and return in the evening to the same act. We have been told often times that we are in the era of grace and not of law; which is absolutely scriptural. But there is a problem which can no longer be ignored: Grace being misinterpreted.

Does Water Have Scent? Science Vs Mystery. Find out

Image
In our Primary School days, we learned that clean water is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. This of course is an established fact in science and confirmed in our everyday life. However, I know of a kind of clean water that has odor (smell): but a very pleasant, invigorating and refreshing one. This water has a scent that intoxicates and quickens. When you drink it, you smell like it. Sweet savor, Sweet fragrance.
