“Love is blind indeed” so I said to myself. This is how my story begins. I couldn’t explain how he found me; all I knew was that He stood at the door of my heart and knocked, there I was laying on a bed neatly dressed with selfish desires and ambition, feeling reluctant to answer the door. But when the knock persisted, however, I eventually stood up in laziness, managing to shake off a little carnality and I walked to the door with drowsy eyes. There He stood looking so gracious and elegant: wow!  I asked myself, who could this…

Change is a common word used by Nigerians and even within our leadership parlance, it is very easy to say but difficult to implement. I remember how we chanted for change a few years back, how we were ready to die for a leader who we assumed to be dogged and change oriented. After the landslide victory, we danced and shouted joyfully in anticipation, absolutely yearning for growth, stability, and a shift from the status quo. Since then; few years have gone down the line and yet actualizing real and true change seems unrealizable, and has obviously become a mirage.…

Kindly read: Rekindle The Fire Let It Burn Again Pt. 1: An Open Letter To My Childhood Church Here. Greetings to you dearly beloved church of Christ. I wish I could apologize for upsetting you with the word of truth in my previous epistle, but nevertheless, God the faithful witness has lifted the burden off me as I pass this message across. As long as wickedness, lukewarmness and perversity continues to prevail among you, I won’t keep my mouth shut and my pen won’t stop but continue to run on plane sheets of paper in disgust and restlessness until holiness,…

It is often said that a man who fails to prepare, prepares to fail. Preparation without God is preparation to begin a journey without a destination. Anything outside of God is effort in futility. It is not enough for a man to realize the call of God upon his life, it will only be enough if that man go back to God and allow Him to break and remold him, and equip him for the task ahead. This can only be achieved in your place of preparation.  Beginning with God means taking the right step towards the right direction. There…

What has happened to you oh church of Christ? Engaging in merriment, dancing on the altar of God, unconscious of the looming doom set to befall you. Who has bewitched you? Why have you chosen to conform to the patterns of the world? What happened to the revival fire you so much talk about? What has happened to the vision of the great harvest of souls? What has gone wrong; what happened to the hunger and thirst for souls that are perishing? The truth is this: The glory has departed, God has since moved on. I remember years ago how…

Do you want to remain forever young? Do you want to remain perpetually beautiful? Do you want your beauty never to be subjected to the law of diminishing return; free from wrinkles, stretch marks and other things that can make beauty fade away? Are you having a feeling of rejection because people avoid you? Do you feel like giving up because you find it difficult to attract people? If your answer is yes, then stick around with me. You may feel like the miss world or you have won one or two beauty contests in the past; and you think…

“You are not finished, you are only worried”- Francis Apeh Going through a hard time is like going through a difficult situation, be it financial lack, a terminal illness, or a period of grief. It is an unpleasant process, a trying moment that is usually not comfortable. Basically it is a moment that no one would want to admire or go through in his lifetime. But the truth is that we experience this period in certain phases of our lives whether we like it or not. How you perceive it ultimately determines the outcome or benefits it produces. Some people…

One basic thing I have observed with air travel is that when you go to an airport there is a specific weight your luggage must not exceed. No matter how important they are you would be required to cut the excesses. Even if all are important you are supposed to make a choice of carrying the most important out of the important. Why is it so? Because when the air craft carries too heavy load it may not be able to fly. For an aircraft to have smooth take off and landing, it is important that weight is put into…

Before I begin to expose us to the how and why to Gods rest experience, I would like to explain the meaning of some important concepts as regards this article to further help us understand and flow together as we journey through in reading it. What is Rest? Rest according to dictionary means “to cease work or movement in order to relax, sleep, or recover strength.” It also means “to be placed or supported so as to stay in a specified position.” It can also be referred to as an interval of silence for a specified duration. Cambridge dictionary furthermore…

Is it possible for a driver to just drive without a destination? Or sit in the car and begin to turn steering without acceleration or just accelerate without applying brakes and turning steering? Hence I will say without acceleration, destination is not just possible but unimaginable and without brakes and steering crash will be inevitable. Having this at the back of our minds therefore, it is essential we ask ourselves this very significant question: What is your accelerator? I.e. who (or what) is behind that force that propels you forward in life? Where are you heading to? (Your destination) i.e.…
