Renewal of Spirit of the mind

Image
The agony that sin brings into our lives is enormous and had numbing effect. It deadens our senses of touch with God and enables us to live without awareness of the ‘’injury and infection’’ that slowly damages our soul. Sin produces numbness in our spirit. In other words, we can actually be hurting-yet feel no pain. Let us pray for the Lord to give us a healthy hatred of sin. If we feel no pain when we sin, we are worse off than we realize. Read Ephesians 4:17-24 The Legacy The signs are ominous and noticeable everywhere, those-in-charge at all levels of government are about to leave behind a legacy revolving around 1) Ignorance 2) Illiteracy 3) Indiscipline 4) Lawlessness 5) Criminality 6) Immorality 7) Profanity 8) Evil Violent crimes are now part of daily living. Complicity cannot be ignored considering the utterances of certain public office holders in recent times. If only good governance is the focus, without compromising the ability of the young people to dev...

The Unthinkable and the Avoidable


 Lawlessness, indiscipline, criminality, evil, ignorance, idleness and illiteracy are the basic foundations of terrorism. 

Presently, the upbringing of young people, strange doctrines and very abnormal ways of life in several communities in Nigeria speak volumes. 

Without doubt, the known and unknown conditions for breeding and training the unthinkable and avoidable have been met in communities such as Molusi, Onafuwa Solanke, Oyegbami, Olorusnsogo, Molete, Aluko, Felele, Scout Camp among several others in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. 

A very careful observation will unearth the fact that a different strain of terrorism is gradually taking root in this part of Nigeria. 

 Indeed, the parents, guardians, neighbors and the leadership at all levels should be held responsible and accountable for the dangerous drift towards terrorist tendencies by these set of young people, who are known by all and sundry.

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...

The Message

Image
 When Jesus Christ was about to conclude His sermon on the Mount, He told a story about two personalities who built houses, one on a rock and the other on sand. His aim was for His listeners to realize that those who heard His message and went away without putting it to practice were foolish. Jesus Christ expects us to take action on His message. Do we always practice the sermons we have heard? A sermon is not complete until it is put to practice. Read Matthew 7:24-29 Desperation to Cling to Transient Power  Those-in-Charge do not respect the people’s views, rather the leaders impose their self-driven agenda on the people. They take from the poor to enrich themselves. This is not the promise they made. Of great worry, is the naked fact that they are now very desperate to cling to transient power.
