Shortly after Nigeria got her independence from the British Colonial Rule, the Military took over the affairs of governance in Nigeria. Ever since that period, Nigerians have hardly witnessed true political or Economic independence. As a result of the gross underdevelopment, corruption, favoritism, nepotism and red-tapism that follows the continued dominance of Military men and officers in the rulership or governance of Nigeria; many Nigerians sacrificed their peace, comfort or safety to speak to the power of their days. In various instances, the Military decided to allow the Civilians to chose who rule over them, but hardly wait for their…

In the United States, the seat of power is called White House; Nigeria’s seat of power is called the Aso Villa. It is the place where the Executive Arm of Nigerian Government forms and runs government for a period of 4 years – renewed only in two terms. For most students in the various universities in Nigeria, the tenure of stay on campus is 4 years. At the resumption stage, every student begins with a 5.0 CGPA. As the academic process continues, most students experience steady decline until some students are advised to withdraw from the university – due…

Nigerian politics over the years have been characterized by violence – do or die. Most Nigerian elites consider politics to be a dirty game; yet, the same elites in Federal Government payroll go on frequent strikes to remind the Government led by “dirty game players” to honor their agreements. My point is this, many educated, good-hearted Nigerians detest politics, but cry to or complain about politicians when their roads are trapping them, when their generators are short on fuel and when their houses are broken into by thieves at night or day time. The first concern of most people…

In the book of Matthew 16:18-19, Jesus said, “…..I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” If you meditate on the those words, you will appreciate the inevitability of opposition against the church of Christ. In fact, God said, surely they shall gather, but their gathering shall be in vain (lack results). The matter is, since God had foreteold the inevitability of rivalry of the…

The quality, beauty and authority of every product is usually to the degree of the quality, beauty and accuracy of its mould – model. “This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made Him in the likeness of God.” Genesis 5:1             According to that Scripture above, the model or mould through which Adam was formed, fashioned, or made was God. Since products always become like their models or moulds; Adam became like God – from the beginning. Listen To Audio Podcast: Exemplary Leadership: After Who Are You Becoming A Leader?            …

Last week was a great time we shared together learning leadership under the umbrella of the Holy Spirit. This week again He has given us the opportunity to learn something new about leadership.

In the word of Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, Old things are passed away and behold, all things are become new”. It is important that we understand the all things that have become new – the dimensions of it. What are the implications of things becoming new to you? Our text today will be taking from the book of Acts of the Apostles 17:22-28. It says:             22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all…

About 48 hours ago, I shared a post titled – THE DEMONIC INSTITUTION CALLED RCBC OF RCCG, which I found on Facebook and then posted on Fridayposts.com. While I felt the young Pastor who wrote the piece deserved to be given a voice, I also believe that my decision to share his story; has created a need for me to also share my own story, which is more of a testimony. As we must remember, without a story, there can be no testimony; however, due to the limitations of time, space and privilege, I would focus on the testimony of my…

Below is his story which he shared in two parts. THE DEMONIC INSTITUTION CALLED RCBC OF RCCG Me, I have no…

The word ‘vulnerable’ isn’t a very popular word among Christians today. We usually quote the Scripture, “Let the weak says I am strong”. While there’s absolutely no issue with the Scripture, the issue oftentimes is with our own mindset. We want to become strong and even much more, appear strong. We rarely ask for help, since we consider asking for help an act of weakness. According to Webster dictionary, vulnerable means capable of being physically or emotionally wounded. The other words for vulnerable is helpless, defenseless, exposed and susceptible. If you look carefully at those synonyms, you would notice the…
