MATTERS ARISING

You have prayed to God and possible fasted over that situation, yet it seems God is deaf or have forsaken you. Why not try this best thing? Praise HIM! You know, often times the enemy blind our eyes to the most important things, causing us to go round and round, and most times get us go off track in achieving our desires. A journey of 4days, we ended up doing it 40days  or if not more. The trick here, satan always look for a reason to go before God and question why HE (God) should allow good come to us. Knowing our human flesh is quick to sin,  and so any form of delay to our prayers, the likely we fall into reason he goes before God. But here is the antidote, praises! The bible tells us when we praise God, HE comes down HIMSELF. Psalms 22:3 "But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of his people". Praise is the only thing God doesn't send anyone to get for him, not even Jesus Christ. It is the only thing recorded that can make God leave his throne for....

Going through the scriptures past couple of days. I discovered something I want to share with us through this write up, off course I am very culpable and many too who may have the same thought as I did. Before then, I will also like share  this information, which i got from reading a journal credited to Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He wrote, "What is worse than doing evil is being evil." These words were used to defend his actions in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler during World War II. An assassination is an evil thing, but some, including Bonhoeffer, would call it a necessary evil, in light of the greater evil of the Holocaust. To our very own, Abiola was killed by those who thought they were doing Nigeria and Nigerians good. By their thought, Abiola will become greater evil if  allowed to become the president he was elected for. Even to us as individuals in which category i fall into, we have lied, cheated and maligned for what we termed "lesser evil". We have done th...

One end time prophecy runs through my mind every time I travel to the airport, or pick up a newspaper and read the latest advance in information technology. "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase" ( Daniel:12:4 ). Anyone who travels often has to marvel at the mass of people traveling to every corner of the world every day of the week. One meets all most the same congestion be it at airport or bus terminals. "Many shall run to and fro." Man's Desire for Knowledge Man seems to have been created with an indiscriminate desire to know, and then given the challenge by God of channeling that desire as one of the character-building opportunities of life. God placed in the midst of the garden of Eden a tree which would impart knowledge-good and evil knowledge. You cannot help but wonder if its placement in the garden was to test man. After al...

Someone was asked to explain what he understand as love and this is what he said "Love is that feeling you get when you meet the right person". Unfortunately, this is how many of us see love, thus our approach to relationship. Consciously or unconsciously, we believe love is a sensation (based on physical and emotional attraction) that magically, spontaneously generates when Mr. or Ms. Right appears. And just as easily, it can spontaneously degenerate when the magic "just isn't there" anymore. You fall in love, and you can fall out of it. So what is love ― real, lasting love? Love is the attachment, which results from deeply appreciating another goodness. The word "goodness" may surprise you. Your understanding may vary from mine. But because I see love as a choice. I see it as something very active. I see love as something one can make happen. You can create it by focusing on the good in another person (and everyone has some). If you can do this easi...

Reflection, one of the major guideline to life improvement. In fact, among the  three methods of gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which happens to be the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. And the third is the experience, which  is the bitterest. Reflection simply put ' serious thought or consideration'. But in more elaborate point, is the art of pondering on one's virtues and faults. It is the ability to reflect on the "here and now", on your feelings and thoughts. This also includes reflecting on the thoughts, emotions and the feelings of others, which will help improve oneself as you assess and reflect upon the decisions you made in life. Use your reflections as an opportunity to make profound and a constructive or positive change in your life. This may require letting go of some people and retaining others. This will depend greatly on the outcome of your reflections, also on the accuracy and intuitive feelings of these reflection...

When you're down, everything feels bad. But mehn! When you're in the dumps, even the one thing that gives you joy, becomes scary. You suddenly wished to be left alone in this whole wide world. You become afraid even of the special people in your life. The last thing you want, is to see happy, joyous people laughing and having everything you can't at the moment. It's like a part of you is keeping you hostage and won't let you go. Your world suddenly become like the talk of Jesus' second coming, for more than 2000 years the gospel has been taught and preached to an extent many are considering it a hoax, in fact some has termed it so. You wonder, will there be an end to this? Wow! You are really not down but in a  dump, your physiology is in a down state and your thoughts are exacerbating the process with tales of how down you are, how it may last forever and how your situation is devoid of any hope. Have you ever noticed, when you are down, you feel like it wil...

This topic has become a hot trending discussion and sometimes argument among Christians. Those who argued for, says it is a statutory directive from God to his people to keep his kingdom work here on earth going, while those who argued against says is an ancient laws that has been abolished by Christ but has been maintained by those who superintend the affairs of their churches as a means to enrich their selves. But if you haven’t already taken a side, I will like you to go through your bible as that is the only source authorize in heaven and on earth to issue guideline on how to relate to things concerning the kingdom. Before proceeding I will like to correct an impression that it was Mosaic law that introduced tithing, because according to Genesis, it was recorded that Abraham tithed and Jacob made promise to tithe too. Moses law only made it compulsory for all children of God. Thank God the issue of tithing is not whether it is biblical, but whether we should continue ...
