Examine Thyself

People react to the pressure of  events and never to the changes of their character and attitude.

 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.

This is disturbing.

The Transient Nature of Power

  State Actors have decided to fund the cattle ranching project in Katsina state with 6.25 Billion  Naira while simultaneously promoting discord and disunity in several other states through their insistence on the open grazing initiative. It is deliberate. However, the time is too short to implement and see to fruition all the contents of the script which includes 3 percent for oil-producing areas and 30 percent for the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC) to explore crude oil in the non-oil producing areas. The desperation revolves around the realization that POWER is transient, nothing lasts forever and that Trust and accountability are no longer some of the key objectives of state actors.

Controversies surrounding certificates of some Nigerians with political ambitions has up to this moment not attracted the attention of Those-in-Authority for obvious reasons. However, Nigerians expect those involved to convincingly extricate themselves from the web already knitted around them. Sadly, the media, perhaps, for pecuniary reasons, is complicit in the covert efforts not to get to the root of the controversies. Indeed, a lot is wrong with the system which can be seen in the sorry state of all sectors of the economy. The failure to acquire qualitative education results in incompetence, mediocrity and ignorance, just as it has become glaring among the youth that education is no longer the means to ends.
