Prosperity for selfish Interests

  5K STORE

Presently, many parents are unable to take good care of their children in different parts of Nigeria.

Prostitution, cultism, child and women trafficking, hard drug usage are among the several social maladies plaguing society.

Sadly, a number of those in religion have not helped matters by focusing mainly on prosperity for selfish interests.

Anointing and blessings for questionable characters  for mouth-watering fees now dominate the space, just as doctrines are twisted to suit their diabolic design.

Be Alert to all forms of sin

We must all stay alert to the seriousnessof sin because it produces numbnes in our spirit and brings agony into our lives. It also deadens our sense of touch with God. Sin ensures that we live without an awareness of the ''injury and infection'' that slowly manages our soul. Ephesians 4 : 14-32 14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18Having the understanding d...

Calls for Urgent Deliverance

The key elements of tyranny include, but are not limited to, insensitivity, brutality, random arrests, incarceration and unresolved cases of killings. Curiously, the prohibitive price of the Premium Motor Spirit(PMS) is already having multiple negative effects on the economy, even as Nigerians persist in their daily lamentations of the unbearable hardships that have been their lot in recent times. Indeed, governance on the platform of deformed democratic institutions attracts tyranny, which is not in tandem with the wishes and expectations of Nigerians.

The Dissemination of Knowledge

In this dispensation of insecurity and violent crimes in Nigeria, the urgent need for undiluted news and commentaries for the people cannot be overemphasized. However, the focus of most of the outlets owned by non-professionals revolves around pecuniary,political and self-driven interests. This has resulted in the dissemination of outright falsehood,half-truths and sponsored propaganda. Sadly,a sizable number of professionals have made patronage their guiding lights,even as mediocrity and quackery have now taken over the media space. In Victorian Britain,The Morning Post came into being in 1772 while the Times in 1785,during the period the government launched a campaign of restriction on the Press which resulted in the emergence of six notorious Acts in 1819. William Cobbett published the Political Register and later on Two Penny Trash which infringed the provisions of the publications Act of 1819. Wooller published The Black Dwarf,a miner's newspaper in 1817. John Gast owned The...
