Teach Nigeria to number Her days…

Happy Independence Day celebration to you all.

It is interesting how we as a nation have come this far, we have come through a lot of things since we became a nation; civil war, militancy, coup, political crisis, transition from military rule to democracy and the latest one insurgency etc. It is amazing how we have come through it all and still remain as a nation. Each time I think of how we have come through it all, this scripture always proves true ‘…the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men.’ (Daniel 4:17).

Come to think of it, if Nigeria was a human being… wow… she is growing old ooo!

A lot of people have different argument on whether we should celebrate as a nation or not, I have my own opinion also, but above all, I have a prayer ‘...teach us (Nigeria) to number our (Her) days (oh Lord) that we (she) may apply our (Her) heart unto wisdom (that she is growing old ooo)’ Prov. 90:12 

God bless Nigeria.

Following Jesus from a distance

"And Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end." Matt 26:58

'Backsliding is not only when you turn back from Him, but also when you refuse to follow Him closely as before'

The distractions from our society and the effort we put into trying to make a living is practically seperating us from our maker. But since we are still walking in a close enough sight to what we used to be/do, we do not know we are already slidding back and if care is not taking, it is a matter of time and He will be out of sight.

"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?" 2 Cor 13:12

Shalom.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO VIEW THE UPCOMING BLOOD-HARVEST-SUPER MOON THAT CAPS THE EPIC TETRAD

Aimee Herd : Sep 25, 2015 : EarthSky.org

"Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years…'" Gen.1:14

No doubt you've been hearing about the upcoming "Blood Moon" (lunar eclipse) on the night of Sept. 27-29depending on where you live. (Photo by Fred Espenak/via EarthSky.org)

What makes this one very special is that it is also a Harvest Moon and a Super Moon, and on a spiritual level, it occurs during the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles.

This Blood Moon is the grand finale of the "tetrad" of 4 lunar eclipses (or Blood Moons—called such because Earth's shadow causes the moon to appear reddish in color) that have occurred at 6-month intervals.

If you are living in the USA, the Super/Blood/Harvest moon will take place in the early evening of Sunday, September 27th—(that's September 28 at 2:51 Universal Time).

A great resource for all things related to this spectacular celestial event is EarthSky.org, which explains why this full moon is called a Harvest Moon, a Super Moon and a Blood Moon, as well as exactly when you will be able to view it where you live.

How did Jesus Christ do it?

 

In our present society where we have a lot of and different types of public address systems in our Churches and preaching grounds before our ministers and preachers can preach, HOW DID JESUS CHRIST PREACH TO THE CROWD WITHOUT A PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM AND THEY ALL HEARD HIM?

Society, the Church and same sex marriages

Marriage is a fundamental social institution that does not exist just for the emotional satisfaction of two individuals but for the greater good of the community which stands under the blessing or curse of God. Societies that put emotional fulfillment before right actions and principles will soon give way to a multitude of addictions and deep corruptions and collapse. God will judge any society that institutes same sex marriages.

When was Jesus Christ Crucified and Resurrected? Definitely Not Good Friday

When was Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected? Did He really die on Good Friday and come back to life on Easter Sunday?

Jesus Christ said He would be in the grave for three days and three nights. How can you count that from Good Friday afternoon to Easter Sunday morning?

Answer:

WALKING WITH GOD

I remember growing up, I had this friend who we will walk each other home after every visit.

At some time, we would have walked from my house to his own house in the bid of my trying to see him off home. Whenever this happen, we decide to walk back half way between our homes and try to say the goodbyes for the day; we enjoyed each other company and would have lost the sense of time and distance while talking. I know this is not new to you if you had/have a friend like mine.

I was given this illustration about Enoch’s walk with God. Whenever God came down for a visit, Enoch would see Him off and return back home, sometimes after so many days. Until one day, he got caught up so much in the conversation that he didn’t come back again because God took him. I like the version that says “Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him.” Gen 5:24(MSG) - …’he was simply gone’ (lost his person into the person of God, forgot his cares and was consumed in the thought of God…) you can understand/interpret that on and on in the perspective of your experience every time you fellowship.

Would you rather be lost in yourself, your cares or the worldly cares?

He is calling you today to a walk with Him, come off to a place of rest.

Fighting for the soul of Nigeria

The recent political situation in Nigeria is becoming really scary, when every fabrics of our existence as a nation (the religious settings, traditional leaderships, our markets, our youths, entertainment circles etc.) are all been attacked with MONEY in an attempt to corrupt it. A lot of conscience have been bought by MAMMON; it is so scary that even the saints are talking of collecting their share and still cast their vote anywhere they wish – what an irony.

Knowing God’s Voice

‘…His sheep follow him because they know his voice.’

John 10:4 NIV

Here are seven occasions when knowing God’s voice is all-important: 

Samson: Six packs or Seven locks

The general perception of a strong guy is when he has six packs and big abs; something like a supper man physique. In fact, that fits into the picture of a wrestler or a boxing champion. A lot of these people and guys work a lot on trying to get this kind of feature. My question is does it really depict strength?

The Silent years in Jesus’ Life (Part 2)

It is obvious that the period of 18 years which is between 12 to 30 years of Jesus life was not expressly written about, but we are not in total darkness as to what he did or would have done as regards the challenges raised in the Part 1 of this article.

It is worthy of note that Jesus had Godly parents, His mother a virgin accepted a word from God that could cause her public shame, Luke 1: 38. His father Joseph too was adjudged a righteous man, Matt 1:19.

This gave a good foundation to understand the kind of persons that gave him counsel and also the kind of persons he submitted to. ‘Then he went down to Nazareth with them and WAS OBEDIENT TO THEM’. (Luke 2:51a)
