The First Lady, Aisha Buhari has invited presidential aspirants to Ramadan Iftar dinner at the State House Conference Centre. The presidential aspirants from different political parties are expected to converge on Saturday by 6:30 pm. President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife in an invitation letter instructed the invitees not to come along with their mobile devices, except for their invitation cards which would serve as their entry pass.

I was almost in tears when I could not express myself after the fight with my secondary school mate during my second year at Community Grammar school, Okpo, Kogi State, Nigeria. I knew I was innocent, but beyond been innocent, I needed to talk. Nobody else could figure out what the problem was; my senior students who were perfects that year expected me to talk, speak out, but since I was short of words, lacking knowledge in the recommended and acceptable language of communication in the school community which is English language, although I was not at fault, the girl…

If you see a man on your way and say that he looks like or resembles JESUS CHRIST, then who do you look like to yourself? It is possible to carry the Bible in our hands and not use it for the right reason. Because if we do, we wouldn’t be following teachings and doctrines that are not of our God and our new life. Let’s begin by examining the Bible to see the form of CHRIST while in the flesh and when He was out of the flesh. We cannot see God. But Jesus Christ is completely what God…

The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you. I will make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you, and I will place a curse on those who harm you. And all the people on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram left Haran as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. At this time Abram was 75 years old.…

The Spirit of God entered Azariah son of Oded. Azariah went to meet Asa [king of Judah] and said, “Listen to me, Asa and all you people of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you obey him, you will find him, but if you leave him, he will leave you. (See 2 Chronicles 15:1-2, NCV.) One thing that is evident in the life of King David, one of the ancient kings of Israel after God delivered them from the land of slavery to the promised land, the inheritance the Lord promised to…

After David had served his generation according to the Will of God  and was set to rest with his fathers, he left his son, King Solomon with this parting Goodwill Message: “And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father. Serve God with a pure heart. Be happy to serve him, because the Lord knows what is in everyone’s heart. He knows what you are thinking. If you go to him for help, you will get an answer. But if you turn away from him, he will leave you forever. (See 1 Chronicles 28:9 ERV.) God is the…

There are only two possible choices on earth. You can only choose one.  These two choices were presented to Jesus Christ and father Abraham in their lifetimes. The two made similar choice of God, and they became living Epistles to their generations till today. You have the choice to either choose GOD or choose MONEY/MAMMON. You can’t choose both. You are to choose one and leave the other. Choice is a drive, you cannot fake it. Your choice will always pull you along towards your object or substance of attraction. God can’t be mocked, God knows those who are…

The truth is bitter but neither will keeping it away from us make us better too. We have to let it out, concealing it will mean more decay. The hard time, punishment or tough time we are facing in the hand of men, and God’s silence to answer the church has not been because God has abandoned us at any point; but we are the ones that have abandoned God. Our sin must not be big before it hurts God. Sin simply means to abandon or leave the teachings/instructions/doctrines of God to obey or teach the doctrines/principles of men. In…
