Our society today is not lacking in men and women; but grossly lacking in made men and women. From the pulpit to the pew, and from the leaders to the followers; we are deficient in our make-up. We are so deficient that many people have resorted to physical make-up to cover up the inner deficiency in them. A generation of people who love praise without function; hence, we compromise to get praises – over our appearnaces, our children, our marriages, our leadership and understanding. Yet, what we all need is to be made whatever we want people to “praise” us…

Success is desired by all, yet success does not get to all. While many of us run towards good success, success runs actively after people that mix contentment with their perseverance. According to the book of 1 Timothy 6:6, “Godliness with contentment is a great gain.”; and moving on from there, we will be looking at Contentment with perseverance. In the book of Habakkuk 3:17-19, we see: “Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut…
I was somewhere a few weeks ago and one man exclaimed, “Things are hard for everyone…..everyone is suffering!” While I felt what he was saying, I quickly said to myself, “Things aren’t hard for me…I am not suffering..” It could be true that many people are going through tough moments, it is not true that all are suffering. While we may find solace in words that seek to generalize situations and circumstances; God never commanded us to associate ourselves with the woes and hardships of our socieities. In fact, God said, “When others are saying that there is a casting…
The word ‘virtuous’ is from the word ‘virtue, and it represents the peak of excellence in morality or integrity or character (decency, goodness and trustworthiness). While many of us could fix our minds on the word ‘woman’ as an identity of a gender group; I am persuaded in my spirit that the word ‘Woman’ describes an assignment and the assigned. Each time a woman is called, an assignment is mentioned and the person assigned also called. However, there is a simple difference between the word ‘wife’ and the word ‘woman’. While ‘Woman’ describes an assignment to be carried out by…
In this short video clip, Professor Walter Veith explains with facts and figures, how the Roman Catholic Church created the Islamic Religion.
In many local churches yesterday (Sunday), I believe among other Scriptures, God’s people were asked to declare that “…my God shall supply all my need accords to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19). While such declaration is good, we must not get confused, as there are many people who have declared them without much proofs to show. While declaring that Scripture makes God’s power for provisions available, there is something that makes you able to access God’s power for provision. In the book of Deuteronomy 8:18, the Scriptures says, “And you shall remember the LORD your God,…
Marriages are in one of the worst situations in history today. From the political scene to the religious scene; many marriages are suffocating and collapsing. Raising very serious question in our hearts, “Could this be God’s intent for marriage?”. I definitely believe that God desired much more for marriage and His purpose will stand; however, there is a huge gap between God’s intention for marriage and our experiences today in marriage. More than any other Scripture, Genesis 2:18 shows the purpose of a woman, which is to provide suitable help and companionship to man. However, before that point, God gave…
Just like today, there were times in history when there was Great Recession in the economies of nations; moments of uncertainty, when it was everyone to himself or herself for survival. Today, stock markets are crashing, and the prices of commodities at the International markets are falling to all-time low; causing financial hardships across the globe. While we may be feeling the heat extremely now, there were times in history when things were in hotter. Sometime in Egypt, there was an economic problem that was occasioned by famine. It was so bad in those days that the people were giving…
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He formed everything on earth and created man to tend and to keep the earth under His leadership. Eventually, God saw a need for man to have a companion and helper for the assignment committed to his care on earth. Therefore, God took a rib from the man’s side while asleep, and from it; He formed a companion and helper for the man. As soon as God brought the formed companion and helper to man, the man recognized what God has done and named the companion-helper a Woman – because…
Life is governed by the laws that were made for us or made by us – laws rule the world. Everything consciously and unconsciously fulfills different laws at different times for continuous survival. If I ask a group of 100 people to tell if they eat because they LOVE food, or because they REQUIRE (NEED) food; I believe the largest percentage will choose because they need food. Basically, we love to eat; however, our love for food is premised on our need for survival – that survival is a law on its own. To survive, we must breathe oxygen every…
