Our God knows us

Image
            Our God who created us understands us inside out and has planned our lives. He knows when we sit, we walk and we sleep. Before our thoughts comes into our minds, He knows. These are the reasons why we can rely on Him confidently in times of distress. Since His understanding is infinite, He knows our difficulties and all that we need. God created us and can also mend us. Read Psalm 139 The absurd has become the norm. Mediocrity is being glorified at all levels of government at a great cost. Productivity no longer matters., while Those-in-Charge continue to compel the people to be very happy with hunger and poverty. Sadly, this is not possible. Nigerians still contend with persistent darkness even though at present, electricity bills are strangulating. Governance is on an unstable footing at all levels. Human development is a major prerequisite for national development. However, the Federal, State and Local Governments have been lackadaisical in ...

The Teachings of Jesus Christ




Jesus Christ taught about God through stories and parables.

From the teachings of Jesus, we learn all that God requires from us.

The expectation is that, having understood the teachings of Jesus, we will do what is right and proper all the time.

Read Matthew 7


The Local Scene

The leadership choice was founded and established on the foundation of indiscipline, lawlessness, and criminality.

This is the major reason why decision-making from expected quarters has become not only a national embarrassment but also a stain on the reputation of an acclaimed role model in Africa.

The citizenry, a significant number still hope to be literate, have no other option but to replicate the absurd at every level of government presence.

Ordinarily, a faulty education results in impediments in governance, regardless of challenges that persist in the face of identified solutions.

The destructive effects of a faulty education are everywhere for discerning minds to observe.

Indeed, the increasing number of illiterates and the surge in kidnappings are all fallout and true reflections of a faulty education and the choice of leadership.

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...
