For many of us, the return of Jesus Christ to this earth in the fullness of His glory seems like a never-ending wait; yet, the signs are more glaringly on the walls of our society that His return is just around the corner. When I meditated on how we “believers” behave especially whenever we hear or speak about the second coming of Christ; I realized that our disposition is just like the disposition of the Jews (especially their leaders) to the FIRST coming of the Messiah. They had waited so much that when He actually came, they had lost faith…

Christmas celebration, which is basically “the mass on Christ’s day” is an event that began after the death of Christ, during the reign of a Roman Emperor Constantine. Prior to his time, Christians were persecuted massively and were killed at their will; however, he was said to have converted to Christianity, thus, applied some break to the killing of Christians in the Roman empire. Being a new convert as it were, he decried Christianity to be the “new religion” of the Roman people. However, one thing was very clear, he did not accept Jesus to replace his former gods; but…

I have come to realize that an average person is primarily looking for, working for, praying for and even fighting for growth. Whatever we committed ourselves into, we want such thing(s) to grow. We want our children to grow (for those who are married); we want our organizations to grow; and we want to grow ourselves. However, in spite of the widespread yearning for growth, we just don’t simply grasp this “growth” as we intend or hope – and in some cases, leading to our personal and corporate frustrations. Thinking for this important matter, I asked myself a few…

According to the dictionary, to gnash is to bring your top and bottom teeth together quickly. In another instance, it says, to gnash is to grind (one’s teeth) together as a sign of anger (often used hyperbolically). The question is, why do people gnash? Do people gnash in their state of ecstasy or pleasure; or do people gnash in great displeasure? then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you…

It is no more a news that over 1 billion people across the world today profess Jesus Christ – as either their Lord or their Saviour; while some significant number profess Jesus as both their Lord and Saviour. The concern really isn’t the number of people who profess Jesus Christ as Lord or Saviour or Lord and Saviour; but the percentage of this groups (joined together) who really know the Person of Jesus Christ. At a point in time, Jesus said, “By their fruits, we shall know them”; the question is, who are we going to know by their…

Your Walk With God: Is It Full-Time or Part-Time? is a question that rings very loud in my spirit. I am confronted with it; and so are you! No one is in any serious doubt that you have a walk with God. In fact, many people know you to be a child of God; the question on the lips of the hosts of heaven is, “Is your walk with God on a full-time basis or a part-time basis?” Before you go defensive on this matter; I must let you know that you are doing a great job already, walking with…

Please read Part 1 before reading this for your full understanding of PRINCIPLES Are You A Leader Under Authority? (Part 1): Principles of Authority in Leadership If you look at president Buhari, to many of us he is like no nonsense man, the ball stops on his table, but in practical reality, he cannot do anything against the will of the Queen of England and Donald Trump; among other people. There are certain people, especially the Queen of Britain. You have collected independence, that’s the impression that everybody has in the country. But whatever they want him to do…

This morning, there is a question that is being asked. I am sure we understand that from the introductory prayer that we had, we are made to understand that it is possible for God to answer our questions. But the question is being thrown to us this morning and I want us to interrogate our spirit and ourselves to find answer. The question is: Are You A Leader Under Authority? Listen to MP3 Podcast: ARE YOU A LEADER UNDER AUTHORITY? In the book of Habakkuk that we read, Habakkuk 2 from verse1, the Bible says: “I will stand my…

Today, we are looking at Genesis chapter 42. There is a question we want to consider there and we want to understand a particular law which is: The Law of Responsibility. And there is a question we want to answer, and I believe that as we answer this question; we will become better as leaders, better prepared, better responsible and better ready to face the next challenge of our responsibility and of our assignment in whatever capacity that we may be. The Law of Responsibility is our focus today as we continue our Leadership Trip to Genesis. The question we…

There is a Scripture that has been laid in my spirit to start with before we go into the message proper. Ephesians chapter 4, from verse 15 to verse 16. The Bible says: “but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” Listen to MP3 Podcast: TRADITION OF ELDERS VS WORD…
