Burden Us, Oh Lord

In gracious ways, our God in humility invites man to partner with him in some of his miraculous works to answer prayers. But at times how he wants things done may not be very clear and the expected end may seem impossible. Yet if we would just trust him, the miracle will happen and our [...]

Do We Really Celebrate Children?

May 27 is celebrated as children day all over the world. In Nigeria alone 42.2% of the 164million national population (2002 estimate) are between 0-14years mark and this means 69.2 million children are supposed to be celebrating today. But we know it is not so. Greater than half of this population are not even aware [...]

In Satan’s Court, How May You Be Judged?

The whispers died down as the Committee chairman entered the room and took his seat at the head of the long conference table where twelve distinguished state officials were already seated. “Without wasting much time,” He said after the pleasantries, “may we have the reports on the assignments handed over to you last meeting? You may [...]

Judas Iscariot’s Box, a blessing or curse?

What would you say of Judas Iscariot’s office as Treasurer of Jesus’ ministry? Was it a disadvantage to him? I would have to assume here that he did not get that position by democracy; he was appointed for a purpose. Now what purpose was that? Did Jesus know he had smart fingers before he appointed [...]

WHO APPOINTED YOU A JUDGE?

“But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it”1 Cor 12:18.
I like Paul’s analogy on church organisation in his letter to the Corinthinan believers. You could read more about this in 1Cor12 down to chapter 14. This letter is a bomb timed to detonate in the faces of the ‘Pharisees‘ [...]

A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT LOT

Lot appears briefly as an appendage to Abraham in the scriptures but there are good lessons to learn from his life and family. Lot found himself in Sodom, a city of very wicked people because he walked by sight. He selfishly chose the fertile lands leaving the rocky areas for Abraham his benefactor, in spite [...]

Ahithophel And Judas…two of a kind?

Separated by 28 generations, Ahithophel and Judas had the privilege of serving Kings who had the everlasting covenant of God. Ahithophel served King David as an adviser and Judas Jesus the King of Kings as a disciple, treasurer and friend. Each knew the word of God very well and enjoyed the goodness of the Lord. [...]

IDLE WATCHERS, BEWARE OR BE CRUSHED

As a soldier of Christ, you are called to be a purposeful watchman not an idle watcher. You should be on red alert to blow the whistle at the slightest sight of enemy approach. In the race for the kingdom of God there is no room for spectators. No Supporters club. Spectators will be crushed [...]

Who Are You?

This post is a comment on “Ball Field” written by Howard Butt, Jr and categorised under Leadership in the www.theHighCalling.org website.
The audio cast discusses the pains of not being recognised and the succor found in Christ and knowing who we are in Christ. To me, it was enough that the apostles were seen as being [...]

WHOSE OIL ANNOINTS YOUR HEAD?

Apostle John wrote about certain travelling teachers of the gospel  Although they were often poor and otherwise unemployed, they still depended solely on the provisions of the church given to them willingly and cheerfully. Why? John wrote:” “For they are travelling for the Lord, and they accept nothing from people who are not believers. 3Jn7. [...]
