The Solid Foundation

Image
 Jesus Christ is the solid foundation on which, it is imperative, we build our lives. But a sizable number of us are unwilling to build on this solid foundation. It is a palace worthy of Him, built of gold, silver and gemstones of good works, obedience and faith. Our lives ought not to be shabby littles structures of the sticks and straw of legalistic work carried out in the energy of the flesh. Let us pray to the Lord, to assist us in building our lives into assets that are worthy of the foundation on which the structures are erected. Read 1 Corinthians 3:9-17

Funding Instability

 

Special Interest Quotes - BrainyQuote


The continued existence of outlawed organizations revolves majorly around indiscipline, lawlessness, criminality and evil.

Indeed, lies, half-truths, hunger, poverty, idleness, ignorance, the high population of illiterates, language and religious differences are among the several factors that have been tapped on, to manipulate and deceive Nigerians into belonging to the outlawed organizations. 

Sadly, personalities with ambiguous characters who now hold political offices have for some time, in the recent past, identified with these organizations and even funded them to promote instability and violence in different parts of Nigeria.

This is the right time to take a second look into a number of cases of alleged attacks in some states of the federation.

Of great worry is the increasing involvement of professional bodies and workers' unions in violence for pecuniary reasons.

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...
