Let's Occupy God's Throne Room

2012-01-09T23:46:00.000-08:00

Nigeria is destined for greatness and it is no co-incidence that God blessed us with unparallel resources so that we should prosper and be a praise in the whole earth. Yet, the land abounds in poverty and corruption. I perceive that there is a battle for the soul of Nigeria. There is a plan to kill, to steal and to destroy. To turn this potential economic and spiritual giant to another

God is self sufficient and yet He Seeks those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Please join us as LARA GEORGE (Ijoba Orun); NATHANIEL BASSEY (Someone's Knocking at the door); TOPE ALABI (E gbe ga); KIKE ADESINA (Because of you)

JAPAN ON OUR HEARTS

2011-03-15T07:11:00.000-07:00

The stories and video clips are heart rending to say the least. Japan went to bed one night as comfortable citizens and woke up the next, with death staring them in the face and on their heels as they fled. So utterly terrifying! And the terror has not let up yet – aftershocks; nuclear leaks; lack of food, water and fuel follows. The hopelessness and the sadness the people must be feeling now

Today not Tomorrow - Time To Preach the gospel

2011-02-24T08:10:00.000-08:00

Have you ever felt the nudging of the Holy Spirit to witness to someone He brings across your path, but then you respond with a soft but sure – I’ll do it; tomorrow. There are some tomorrow excuses that are just too dangerous and which should be done away with. Especially after you consider the testimony below from a colleague in my office. It’s quite important to me that I keep my nails in

God Still Saves From The Lion's Den

2011-02-19T04:05:00.000-08:00

A couple of Sunday's back, a woman in her late thirties gave a testimony in church. On a particular public holiday, she decided to take her eight year old son to her shop in Lagos to enable her spend some quality time with him. She shared the day between fellowshipping with him and attending to her clients. Sometime in the afternoon however, she looked up and realised he wasn't in the shop. No

TOO NOBLE TO WORK?

2011-02-19T03:06:00.000-08:00

God is a builder. He’s building His kingdom, he builds homes, hearts, His church. He builds our lives and makes us what he wants us to be. He is the master builder but graciously calls us His co-labourers. There is a lot to build but most of the work that has to be done will not be done directly by God himself: he will use you and I. Amongst many other projects, God decided to rebuild Jerusalem

The Story of Kendy

2011-01-09T11:44:00.001-08:00

Kendy was a 28 year old, successful jolly good fellow who loved life. He was already a full Manager in International Bank of Nigeria. With his monthly salary of N550,000 he considered himself quite comfortable. He was a dedicated worker in his office and his boss would often tell him, how the sky was the limit, if he continued to work hard. On a typical day, he got to the office by 7.30a.m. After

Ted Haggard on Larry King Live

2009-02-01T11:54:00.000-08:00

I was in my office two years ago when I walked into the ladies and found a colleague of mine with a long face leaning against one of the wash hand basins. I rushed to her and asked what was wrong. “I can’t believe this.” She moaned as she shook her head slowly “What happened? What can’t you believe?” I asked. I waited and watched with concern as she tried to pull herself together. “It’s Ted

2008-12-07T07:20:00.000-08:00

God gave us our talents for a reason and when we use them to touch our family, neighbourhood and the world at large; everyone takes note.I have always known that my dear friend Kike Adesina, has such a powerful God given voice. The few times I have heard her lead praise worship, the strength of her voice commands a total focus on the lyrics of the song and creates and awareness of the very

WHERE IS NIGERIA S BARACK OBAMA

2008-11-04T23:19:00.000-08:00

Today I recall a day early in January when I was in a discussion with some of my colleagues in the office. Everyone was unilateral and emphatic in their agreement that Obama could never win the presidential ticket he was seeking. It is not possible they said. He is a black man with an African father; a minority! It can never happen. Mine was a lone voice. Do not underestimate the power of

Toothy Truths

2008-09-25T10:11:00.000-07:00

I would like to share this truthy mail forwarded by a friend but written by Maureen D. Eha "I am not a particularly domestic type. If I have to work hard, I don't want to waste my energy dusting off tables that will look just as bad the day after I dust them as they did the day before. I want to work on words—positioning them, rearranging them, making them sing out the message God has laid on my

SNATCHED FROM THE JAWS OF DEATH

2008-04-12T06:44:00.000-07:00

I remember the story of a man who lived a riotous life, with excess drinking, partying and womanizing. One day as he left his club at 2 a.m., barely sober, he got into his car and started the engine. Suddenly a dark demonic being appeared in the seat beside him and said, “I have come to take you, it’s time.” The man’s heart thumped erratically at the deep fear that filled him. But somehow he had

GODLESS PASSIONS

2008-03-13T07:21:00.000-07:00

There is the fable about a village where the men decided they had no choice but to destroy a stealthy fox that was wreaking havoc on them, killing their children and maiming their hunters.No one could face up to the animal directly so they decided to set a trap to make it self-destruct.The next evening, the fox came out of its hiding place in search for blood. As it crept across the snowy street,

I LOVE MY PHONE… So What?

2008-02-26T06:26:00.000-08:00

Last week I got a mail on my desk top, with a questioner attached that could help determine a man’s true treasure. I was meditating on the content of the mail when my younger brother walked in. He is a commited Christian; born again and also loves the Lord. I decided to test the mail on him.As he sat across the table I fired a couple of questions at him.“Do you love God?”“Of Course! Why do you

Naomi .. no not Campbell

2008-02-02T08:27:00.000-08:00

Naomi was a country woman who found life in her rural hometown increasingly difficult. There was a famine and the economy was bad. Together with her husband and two sons she relocated to greener pastures, far away, in the land of Moab. At first life was beautiful; they settled in a lovely home, got good jobs and their handsome sons soon attracted two lovely women and got married.Nevertheless

He didn't consider his dead body

2008-01-26T07:58:00.000-08:00

After school, I had a dream job. I worked hard at the ones I had at hand but I knew where I was going. I prayed and had the assurance of God’s promise that He would show up. He did and I was excited when after 2 years, I got an invitation to attend the interview.I prepared for the d-day in everyway I knew how, but alas I fell sick one week before. I decided to attend the interview anyhow, because

THE MISSING BABY

As the years went by Her mother in law felt that enough was enough, she needed a grandchild and prevailed on her son to marry another wife. The woman feared for her home and rushed to her Pastor.

AN ARMED ROBBER SEIZED THE MOMENT

2007-12-27T23:41:00.000-08:00

There is the story of one man who foolishly bungled his last chance. He was an armed robber and it was clear to everyone that he deserved to die. No one cared that his destiny was to spend his eternal lifetime burning in hell fire. No one cared that he now felt bad about the things he had done and wished for an opportunity to repent and live his life differently. He was being executed slowly and

Gbala's Party

2007-12-24T06:40:00.000-08:00

Mr. Gbala heard from the grapevine that his family and friends were planning a surprise birthday party for him. They probably didn't want him to catch on yet but it was quite obvious. They hired a hall for the event, they hired caterers, bought gifts and expensive clothes and shoes for the party.Everything became clearer when he stumbled on the invitation card; the party was to start at 12noon.

It Wasn't Easy

2007-12-17T06:04:00.000-08:00

This song is for you. I hope someday I will become IT savy enough to load music onto my blog but meanwhile just think on the powerful lyrics of this song from Cece Winnans - Alabastar Box. It Wasn't Easy by Cece WinnansDon't think for a moment I never felt the painYou can't imagineThe hurt and the shameThey put the nails through my handsPierced my side, please understandIt wasn't easy, but it was

The Redeemed Church and It's Auditorium

2007-12-17T04:52:00.000-08:00

The News of 11th December 2007 wrote an article under the above caption last week tuesday. The article has generated extensive debates and drawn significant ire from Nigerians who in typical fashion love to debate, deliberate and adjudicate. Nothing wrong with that and I will like to make my own contributions by stating what I consider to be the facts below:1) I have tried to get the source
