It is very clear to everyone that the game has changed. The Church has left the building and it's in the streets. The change we have all longed for is here. The transition of things, spiritual and physical is here. The possibilities and opportunities are boundless and only our imagination will stop us. We all agree that Church, the way we have known it up till now, has changed. It seems that

This post is spurred by many things that have happened to me in the past 6-10 weeks; the statistic that Nigeria is top ranking in searches for gay pornography on Google, the purported show on a transgender 11 year old that DSTV wants to air in Nigeria, a guy that I know who is openly coming out as a hater of God and has transitioned into being a woman.  The culmination of it all was the

The time is 10.27PM and here I am, in my study sitting behind my desk, writing about my dear country Nigeria. Since about 4Pm, I had been glued to a friend’s laptop, where we were streaming the live updates of the results of the presidential elections, over the internet. By the time I got home around 7 PM, there was no electricity (trust PHCN or is it IBEDC they are called now sef?), so I

Just last Saturday was Valentine's day and even though it was celebrated low-keyed (most likely due to the fact that our general presidential elections were supposed to hold on that day but then got postponed), people still went out and celebrated the holiday. Of course Val's day is associated with eros love - between a man and a woman, (even though the origin of the holiday has nothing

Throughout history, influencers of society have discovered that the power they wield lies in their ability to communicate their values and concepts to the people effectively. Once people can grasp the concepts and ideals they are passing across, then it becomes easy to change their behavioral patterns and habits. No matter how powerful an idea, concept or value is, if it is not properly

In recent times I have been asking myself a lot of questions and a certain burden for the Church (the Body of Christ) particularly in my native country Nigeria. One story that I heard, which sparked some of these questions, was about a young Christian lady, who was in an office where some money had been stolen and no one knew who the thief was. A member of staff suggested that all the

In recent times there have been lots of releases of bible movies by Hollywood (and there will still be more I believe). Majority of these movies have diverted from the original bible accounts that we have read. Most of them are not accurate and some even out-rightly blasphemous. I've been thinking a lot about our reactions to these movies (and even some other ones) mainly because of their strong

One of the greatest impressions in my heart in recent times has been how today's believer is so much like Lot and how different Abraham was from Lot. On the top of the list is the fact that Lot was clearly a believer who lived in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. Where Lot lived, people called evil good and good was laughed at. Immorality was the normal and perversion was the

I read this post from Charisma Magazine this morning and I know it will enrich you as a believer. Read on and let's have your comments, ok? Christians: The "softer, kinder, gentler" approach ain't working. One of the perpetual myths well-intentioned Christians indulge in is that if we are just nice enough, winsome enough and persuasive enough, everybody will love us and eventually agree with

On Friday, I was in Lagos, preparing to attend a friend's wedding slated for Saturday. I decided to visit a friend and his wife in their house. After we had exchanged pleasantries (and a nice meal!), we got into a discussion of how values were being eroded in society and how unprepared christians were in handling these challenges. Our discusion veered into how we can easily each moral

As people who are called to be salt and light, we must be aware of the challenges we will face in bringing change to our immediate environments and be adequately prepared otherwise our efforts at influencing the world with our lives will lead to us being contaminated with its influence. I've highlighted some challenges facing us today as preachers of the good news of Christ and

The Tunes Of Jubile Creatives' Workshop is happening again in June. This is a monthly interactive session where we learn how to engage and influence the culture we live in using media as our tool of influence and impact. At the last edition in May, we considered the challenges christians face in getting involved in the transformation of our immediate society. You can download the pdf here.

I start today's post with this quote from a blog I stumbled upon in a Google search about christians changing culture. It goes like this: In his book, To Change the World, James Davison Hunter asserts that many Christians have adopted a false theory for social change, believing that the majority belief determines the social norm. Therefore, change occurs when a majority adopts

The Tunes Of Jubilé Creatives' Workshop was held again this last Saturday, April 6th 2013. The high points of this edition was the 3 fold strategy from Matthew 13 which can be used to infuse godly values into our society. The pdf is available for your viewing on this page http://rampageoutreach.org/events/tunes-of-jubile-april-2013/

The power of social media has been largerly untapped in this part of the world. Eventhough we have seen several incidents that have shown us how powerful new media is, we are yet to take advantage of that power. The recent Oga at the Top saga revealed certain things to me that we can leverage on with regards to spreading the gospel. Let me point out some things. If you Google the

Creative ministries in the 21st century must embrace certain understandings to be more relevant & effective in these days. We live in days when the level of awareness is very high. An average 5 year old child, living in a city has, most likely, interacted with technology his parents never had access to until they were in their late teens or early twenties. Obviously this means that

Hello friends, I got this off a facebook friend's page. It is instructive and hilarious and I'm sure you will enjoy it. OK, I know there's a lot of criticism against Nollywood and some movies are truly a stunning celebration of unparalleled levels of ineptitude and daftness. A friend even said 'every time you watch Africa Magic channels, a brain cell dies in you' Lol! But truth is, this is

If you are as young as I am, you'd remember the days of Voltron, Thundersub, good ol' Sesame Street (where I learnt how to rhyme), even the Sunday-Sunday Tales by moonlight. And then there was G-force, Speed Racer and TerraHawks (Expect the unexpected-Tiger Ninestine). Those were days when choices were few & TV time was limited. Today choices have gone out of the roof (there's Ben10, Power

In the world we live today, the voice of the creatives seems to be the loudest. Movies, music, fashion and creative things seems to be dictating the pace for the way people live. People like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and the likes tell the world the way to dress and how to speak. In the midst of all these, what’s the role the sons of God? Some of us feel incapacitated, unable to do

In case you didn't know, the sixth installment of the explosive monthly gospel concert is scheduled for tomorrow. The monthly programme is a platform for upcoming gospel acts to show the stuff they are made of and also an opportunity to meet the established ones on a closer, more friendly atmosphere. I heard about the programme only last month and I was not in Lagos. The

Take a look around you and you'll observe that there is a scarcity of leadership. I'm talking about leaders whose personal values are enough to make them pillars that provide the essential support for the structures they support, whether that's a company  a local government or even a family. To make things even worse, the ones that occupy the visible positions behave as they like, not

I'd like to share a few tips to creating content that is engaging and as promised, I'll be focusing on songwriters. 1. Use The bible! (stories) Put yourself in the scenarios. What would have been your response? How would the character have acted/reacted if he/she were living in another timeframe? That's why the animated movie, The Prince Of Egypt sold so much. 2. Use fresh camera angles. By

Yesterday a few minutes to nine in the morning, somewhere around Airport road, Ajao Estate, a girl on a commercial motorcycle, popularly called okada in Nigeria, was hit by a car. Very soon a crowd gathered and cries of "she don die" (she is dead) rang out as the girl lay there on the cold asphalt. Across the road was this group of individuals on their way to the second service of their

We all cry and hope for change in our country but the truth is positive change doesn't just happen. It is premeditated and that's why I love the initiative of pastor Poju Oyemade of Covenant Christian Centre. As is their annual custom, Covenant Christian Centre is bringing another edition of The Platform to Nigeria's youth again.
