Our God of Justice

Image
God judges us and acts by our motives.   He accounts for every circumstance.  The justice of God ensures the preservation of life and is overwhelmingly fair to all.   However, unregulated justice influences prolonged family feuds, ethnic suspicions and hatred, including social disorder.   Let us learn to amicably resolve conflicts and disputes of whatever nature, rather than the contrary option. Read Joshua 20

Avoid Procrastination

Image
  By taking crucial decisions at the appropriate time, unnecessary problems are avoided. We should not procrastinate on studying the word of God diligently, nor should we delay in assisting ministries that require volunteers. More importantly, let us immediately discard behavior that does not honor the Lord. Good intentions should never be left in the purview of contemplation for such to be meaningful. Only forces of darkness choose to be reactionary in the face of the loss of human lives. Let us always pray to God to convert our good intentions into good actions. Read Matthew 21:28-32.

Confess your sins

Image
Referral link Believers are relentless in their faith, even in the face of weaknesses. Certain hobbies may hinder your primary obligation to your family.  Be painstaking in correcting this lapse and possibly others. Whenever you fall into sin, pray for forgiveness and renew your commitment to the Lord. He is always present. By confessing our sins, the Lord is ever ready to cleanse us. Let us always praise God for His limitless forgiveness. However, this should not be an excuse to continue in sinful ways. Read 1 John 1:6-10.

Cross carpeting not amnesty for wrongdoing-Oba Ladoja

Image
A former Governor of Oyo state and the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland,  Oba Rashidi Ladoja has warned that cross carpeting from one political party to another was not a shield against corruption allegations. Oba Ladoja gave this warning on Friday in an interaction with journalists in his Old Bodija, Ibadan, Nigeria residence. ''Moving from one political party to another is not new. Some people are doing this to protect themselves against the EFCC. However, moving  from one party to another should not be perceived as amnesty for wrong doing.'' he stated. The former governor called on Nigerians to pray for the emergence of a government that would take care of the people, adding 2027 is still far way. Bola Tinubu has done well. Two years is still far, it just like we are playing football.'' Oba Ladoja wondered what had become of the labor movement in the country saying, '' I listened to the NLC president, Ajaero, I felt for him. He is leading a team that is ne...

The government's poor performance has turned Nigerians into beggars—former LG legislative assembly speaker

Image
 The poor performance of the government at all levels in Nigeria has reduced millions of Nigerians to beggars. This assertion was made by a former speaker of the legislative assembly of the Ibadan South East Local Government Council, Hon. Tunde Yusuf. ''Visit the communities; people are suffering. People are begging to eat. The government's poor performance has turned Nigerians into beggars. Here in Oyo State, the local government does not exist. Elected officeholders are nowhere to be found. Hunger is the major discussion at the grass roots, where the illicit drug trade is booming. At the bus stops everywhere, pick-pocketing is now the trend.'' Hon. Yusuf stated.

Dissent in places of worship

Image
The major challenge in most places of worship presently is managing dissent. It remains unresolved in the face of divisive issues. Indeed, these centers of worship, to a large extent, influence the value system of believers and facilitate the emergence of a new quality of life to confront evil and proclaim the gospel of the kingdom of God.  Read Acts 15:1-20   The Local Scene  The Supreme Court in Nigeria granted autonomy to the 774 local governments in the country. This made millions of Nigerians heave a sigh of relief. The happiness and rekindled hope that were written on the faces of impoverished Nigerians vanished several months after nothing changed at the grassroots. The present scheme of things at the local government level in the 36 states and Abuja is a true reflection of the warped mindset of the leadership to do the necessary. Sadly, the judiciary, in this dispensation, is yet to perform, so far, as an independent arm of government. This is, without doubt, a pr...

Ceaseless Prayers

Image
 Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices.  Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;  yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as  by  the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...

Lawmakers are very far from Nigerians-Comrade Emelieze

Image
Lawmakers in both chambers of the National Assembly and the State Houses of Assembly have long ceased to represent the electorate in Nigeria. This assertion was made by the convener of the Federal Workers Forum, Comrade Andrew Emelieze. ''For some years now, the elected representatives of Nigerians in both chambers of the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly have stopped representing the people. They now represent their self-centered interests. Have they done enough to reverse the economic hardships giving Nigerians sleepless nights?'' ''It has been zero intervention as regards the present economic hardships confronting Nigerians. Are those in the legislature just passing time? What is the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature? The answer is the relationship is symbiotic. This is the major reason why they have enough time for frivolities and non-issues. The lawmakers are very far from their constituents and are not in touch with the pa...

Oyo Government not taking our welfare seriously-Health Workers

Image
  Some health workers in Oyo state have expressed reservations over the continued delay of the state government to meet their demands. The health workers, who are members of the Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals(NUAHP), Hospital Management Board unit, lamented that the state government ''is not taking our welfare seriously.'' ''The state government has continued to treat health workers on its payroll with levity. We are not happy about this, the government should urgently address our demands, they stated. However, the chairman of the unit, Comrade Olanrewaju Ajani disclosed that of all the demands of the health workers, the state government had only reviewed the hazard allowance. ''Before the 21-day ultimatum we gave the state government on 4th March 2024 elapsed, the government appealed to us to be patient. We appeal to the state government to do something on time. We have provided enough evidence. It is only the hazard allowance that has bee...
