Examine Thyself

People react to the pressure of  events and never to the changes of their character and attitude. Status quo or disruption? Breaking down the U.S. election's impact on Japan  Make it a duty to examine yourself periodically and spiritually, to determine your closeness to the Lord or distance from Him. Most Christians live on the surface of life. Once you expose your heart and life to Jesus Christ, who is the light, then all illusions will be  stripped away, and the gate will open for the healing and redeeming power of Christ in your  life. Accepting Christ will give you a direction and make you to know yourself. Knowing yourself will prevent you from committing sins, while if you don't allow God in you, you will never discover God. Read Daniel 12:1, John 4:25

The Burden of Parents and Guardians

  The judgment of God shall always come upon parents and guardians who fail to bring up their children  and wards in the Lord's way. Indeed, a sizable number of fathers and mothers do very well in guiding other people's children towards the right path, but this is not so for their biological children. Even though the children of this category of parents are lacking and deficient in several aspects of life, their parents see all the goodness and perfection in them. Today, most parents have failed to instill moral discipline in their children. It is imperative for all to care for their vineyards, as they also care for the vineyards of others.

Achieving your Dreams

  Dreams are planned, pursued, and achieved. Dreams don't come true on their own unless they are made to happen. Steps to Take Towards Achieving Your Dreams: 1) Identify a dream Without doubt, the journey to success starts with a dream. The dreams become a purpose and driving force to the destination. Once a dream is identified, an individual now has an objective and is purposeful; life becomes meaningful while the journey towards actualizing your dream is on track. 2) Your goals must be realistic ; It is quite convenient and realistic to set up goals with a six-month and 24-month accomplishment target. Make a mental vision and evaluation of these goals, and give each of the goals a critical thought. 3) Diligence : Regardless of your desire or aspiration, diligence is a prerequisite. This is the secret behind success. Genuine successes never happen suddenly, accidentally, or by wish. 4)Determination : Be determined in the pursuit of your dreams. Determination is the inner power emb

The Food Question

 Nigerians are proud to live in a country with a land area of 923,773 km 2, with varied vegetation and types of soil suitable for various agricultural purposes. In 1960 and the years following, up until the early 1970s, Nigeria's economy was between the agriculturally friendly ''grassroots'' and the ''white collar'' city-oriented center. All that had to do with the production of goods was concentrated in the city, while a large percentage of Nigerians resided in the villages, with farming as their major occupation. The villages, then, lacked major amenities of life. Governance during this period was with a chain of challenges. Then, most of the earnings from exports were from agriculture, while 65% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) also came from the sector. Nearly 50% of government revenue in 1960 could be traced to agriculture. Today, as in the 1960s, the provision of quantitative and qualitative education, quality health care delivery, and the abse

The Steady Drift

Those in security circles around the globe insist that a government that is responsible and accountable to its people does not give deadlines, ultimatums, and time limits to criminals. They go on to attribute insurmountable insecurity in several countries to either the covert involvement of the government itself, its admirers, well-wishers, or agents. These personalities stress that such a government must have identified and isolated fifth columnists within its ranks before it ever thinks of commencing a maximum cleansing of the criminals impeding good governance. But sadly, this is not the case in Nigeria, as unfolding events have proven beyond reasonable doubt. Nigerians have concluded that the government does not have ready solutions to the kidnappings, killings, and other violent crimes, while they daily pray for God’s intervention. Even the security summits that have already been organized in the past several days by some interest groups, with some state governors in attendance, h
