Your outcome in life is a function of what you see per time. It is quite an unfortunate thing that many people do not go far in life and destiny simply because they are not seeing the right things. There is so much power in vision. This is why the eye is a fundamental and necessary part of the body. A man without legs or hands but with functional eyes that is wide opened is a force that cannot be undermined. Take for instance; Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States of America. At some point…

The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleiman has again reaffirmed his call on all Nigerians to defend themselves against any attack by alleged Fulani Herdsmen. In an interview with newsmen in Abuja, Apostle Suleiman said that he was ready to honour the invitation of the Department of State Services (DSS) despite the failure of the service to disclose the reason behind his invitation. He said that he stands by his earlier statement calling on all Nigerians irrespective of religious affiliation to defend themselves against the Fulani herdsmen. Apostle Suleiman was yet to visit the headquarters of the…

Contrary to the news and rumors being spread around, the Kaduna State government has described as untrue the attacks in the southern part of the state is an orchestrated plot against Christians. The state government maintained that the attacks are being carried out by some armed bandits that have been terrorising some states in the northern region. The government also cautioned religious and political leaders to desist from making inflammatory comments that are capable of worsening the crisis in the southern part of the state, where suspected armed bandits have been attacking communities in recent time. The government warned that…

The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar (III), has asked religious leaders to speak against killings in the name of religion. The Sultan who was speaking in Abuja, said that bad religious teachings have been responsible for the incessant violence, especially in southern Kaduna. In the last few months, increased clashes between Fulani herdsmen and locals in southern Kaduna, have led to wanton destruction of lives and property. The National Emergency Management Agency in Nigeria (NEMA), has put the number of deaths that have occurred in the region, at 204. Meanwhile, contrary to that report, a Catholic church had earlier said 808…

Courtship is any activity that precedes marriage and it usually takes place between a man and a woman who have shown interest in each other. It is the period in a couple’s relationship which precedes their engagement and marriage, or establishment of an agreed relationship of a more enduring kind. During this period, the man and the woman involved usually gets to know each other the more. There is a whole lot of difference between what courtship entails and dating- that a whole lot of young people have come to embrace today. The truth is, most dating relationships are casual…

Since this year began, I have been pondering on this particular scripture documented in Ephesians 5:17. It says “don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants” (The Message). Each time this passage flashes through my mind, I take time out to re-examine my life and what exactly God has in mind for me when he created me on this planet earth. A lot of people today go through life without an idea of what they should or should not be doing. Life is not meant to be lived frivolously or taken casually, God has a purpose…

Fear is one of the fundamental tool which the devil uses to torment people. There is hardly anyone that exists, that is not afraid of one thing or the other. To some, it could be the fear of failure – whether in life, or in academics, or in business venture. There are some people who are afraid of height, and hence; they don’t fly often. There are others who are even afraid to venture into new things, give their various ideas expressions simply because they don’t know whether they will succeed in it or not. And so, people go about…

Hurray!!! The much anticipated new year is finally here. There are usually a lot of things spectacular about every new year. One is the fact that it brings with it so much hope and anticipation that things can be better, done in a different way and greater things can be achieved that were previously not possible. Secondly is the fact that new goals can be set and previously “unachieved” goals can be reviewed and examined, ex-raying what worked and what did not work. After all, it is a popular saying that “only a fool will do the same thing over…

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him Psalm 91:15 Hello folks, thank God you made it into this new week; it sure going to be an awesome one for you. God told us not to lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways, we should acknowledge Him. If truly you are God’s child, and you recognize Him in turn as your Father, then your problems are His problems. And He is better, much better equipped at helping you solve those problems…

I am sure you must have heard in the past how people would say things like this – ‘I have done everything I know to do’. You must have also heard people say ‘I have done everything God said in His word, and yet it hasn’t worked’. Man is naturally committed to self-defense. Man will always justify himself even towards God. Self-justification is the nature of the fallen man. After man fell in the garden, he was right and the other persons were wrong. In Genesis, chapter three, verses twelve and thirteen succinctly described how man was trying to find…
