I don't like her! I hate him. Part 1.

Image
Have you unwittingly found yourself hating someone even when there really was no reason to hate the person? The Lord states that the law has been sumed up into 2 commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, your soul, strength and mind and love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27. The answer to the question of who is a neighbor was beautifully unfolded in the parable of the good Samaritan. It asserts that everyone  you come across is your neighbor irrespective of tribe, race and religion.  As such you're required to love everyone you see. Did I hear you scream impossible?!  Some people who profess to be Christians often get me confuse when they hate on people without a reason. As a believer, you shouldn't even hate on others. Maybe something about the person rubs off wrongly on you and you just can't put your finger on it. How can a man claim to love God whom he has not seen yet hates his brother? Understand that as a Child of...

Peace and Hope in Crisis

Image
 Hello guys,  I had a deep impression in my spirit to share this with y'all today. So much negativity is happening both here in Nigeria and in the global scene. The news are enough to make one panic. This is not to mention the personal struggles we go through in our lives as individuals and families.  The Lord says there's peace, succour and strength in Him.    He says, "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation  and  distress  and  suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]" John  13:33.  Do not panic. Don't breakdown. Just be still. Let your mind be at rest. You will not be swallowed up by the evil. God will guide you into rest. He is your rest. Jesus ( Yahweh) loves you.  Kisses.

Bravery in Afghanistan.

The sad story of  Kathera is one that breaks many hearts. Living as a woman in Afghanistan, a largely patriarchal society hasn't helped either.  Kathera was sexually and physically abused by her father for 13 years, from age 11 till age 23. Her mom Zainab was beaten and forced to painfully watched the horrifying ordeal.  Kathera got pregnant, endured multiple forced abortions, and had two children for her father. He took one of the babies into the desert where he left it to die.  Kathera's Mom, Zainab unable to bear the abuses anymore took the risk to escape with the children. According to Zahra, nobody listened till she went on TV.  Her father's relations threatened to kill her believing she had brought shame to the family and her death was the only solution. Khatera announcing on National television was a desperate attempt that she knew could have severe consequences in a country where the judiciary system often incriminated women seeking for justice. The abus...

Israel and Hamas: what's your stand?

Image
The territorial problem between Israel and the Palestinians is one that has lingered on for ages, centuries even, considering that Palestine today is the Philistines of Bible times.  However, the last conflict in 2014 was resolved by Egypt. Hamas, a terrorist organization however has taken to firing multiple rockets into israel.  Israel has asserted it's right to self defence by responding with their own missiles into Gaza.  As at May 19, about 212 Palestinians were killed including 63 children while 12 Israelis and 2 children are dead. What are your thoughts on these? 

Do you Believe in You?

Paul and Barnabas went about preaching God's words. They entered into the worship place of the Jews otherwise called the synagogue to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 14:1. This was something new... A new preaching different from what the Jews were conversant with. The Jews practiced Judaism and I'm sure it took them a lot of boldness to enter the synagogue to preach what they know others will term as abomination and heresy. Remember the persecution and the death  of Stephen which even Saul an unbelieving Jew then, consented to. But these were filled with power and boldness in the Holy Ghost and the preach the words. Words can lead to salvation and words can lead to destruction. Be careful of words. The  words of Paul and Barnabas caused many Jews and gentiles to believe in God and turn to Christ and there was great joy. But very soon the unbelieving  Jews stirred up trouble by trying to convince the young believers against their faith. In Isreal today y...

Seek God's Presence.

There are certain people upon the face of the earth that God chooses to relate with and reveal himself to in a very different manner. They are human beings like you and i but I call them special people. They are extremely blessed and highly favored to be called by God to fulfill certain purpose or to walk in a deeply satisfying relationship with God. People like Abraham, John the beloved, David, Moses, Samuel, Daniel, Apostle Paul etc. Be mindful of the fact that there were millions of  people living in the world in their time but God chose them among so many. For instance, God appeared to Abraham in visions and also physically, talked with him as a man would speak to his friend and yes! God called him his friend. Imagine that... Friendship between humanity and divinity. That is the highest level of honor a man or woman can ever achieve. Think of the communion, blessing, fulfillment, peace, love, assurance satisfaction, that usually accompanied such visits and the rest it ...
