Evil Times

Image
Satanic occurrences in different parts of Nigeria in this dispensation are on the increase due to the complicity of those in charge.  Indeed, ritual killings and unnatural deaths pervade the landscape while grief-stricken families and relatives mourn their loved ones without consolation.  Surprisingly, those in charge carry on as if nothing tragic happened.   This is sad.  Of worry, however, is the seeming absence of humanity in a sizable number of Nigerians cutting across social status, religious persuasions, and ethnic leanings.  Why is this so? Those in public offices are involved alongside their cronies.  It is everywhere, oddities and strange happenings involving human lives.  This dispensation has been characterized by difficult-to-explain deaths.  These happenings are not natural.  Fetish and diabolic incidents continue to occur without decisive efforts to curtail the same.  So much human blood has been shed for unknown purpo...

Examine Thyself

Image
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

Image
  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

Image
  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

Image
 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

Image
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...

God will provide water from the rock

Image
  The times are indeed difficult in different climes, in the family, community, organizations and countries. However, do not despair. Never give in to thoughts of allowing your faith to falter. For God, your creator will continue to guide and protect you. He will provide for all your needs. When God led His people out of Egypt, life was very difficult for them, initially. The reassurance of Moses that God was with them, gave them hope of better days ahead. God is always with you in the family, community, organization and country. He will surely provide 'water from the rock.'' ​I fervently pray to God to raise your ''Moses'' to lead you through the ''Red Sea''. Amen.  For more insight, read Exodus 16.

The Perpetual Absence of Visionary Leadership

Image
The improvement in the system of transportation, to a very great measure, increases the physical extent and economic size of a country. However, in the Nigerian context, a number of factors have negatively affected the transport system and this has resulted in an astronomical rise in the prices of goods and services beyond the reach of a majority of the population. The prohibitive transportation costs coupled with the multiple taxation across the country and the unabating insecurity have all succeeded in ensuring that Nigerians remain in a perpetual state of hunger and poverty. Curiously, levels of government have channeled generated revenue from multiple taxes, unproductively, to real estate, while Nigerians continue to daily count their landed property losses. Indeed, the government at all levels have always contended with inadequate financial organization and the relevant knowledge. Sadly, economic stagnation is now a major characteristic in most cities that are contending with over...

Hear the Word

Lord our God, help us to listen to those who speak to us and hear Your word. Amen. Mark 4:13-20 13 And he said unto them,  Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, ...
