Giving

Image
 To give in Christendom, is most importantly, a matter of the heart. When love and care are the motives, giving becomes willing and generous. The most tangible expression of this grace is monetary, whether to assist the poor, to support missionaries, or to assist Christians who are confronted with economic hardships. Indeed, the highest motive of giving comes from deep down in the heart. Cultivate the habit of giving. Read 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 Lesser Figures and Unfolding Events Nigeria presently operates a multi-party-political system, but an emerging desire is for a single party to thrive in the country's political firmament, while arm twisting, blackmail, and intimidation are the applications for membership drive. Mao of China attained his goals through despotic means. He did not, however, terrorize citizens, but rather ensured that the downtrodden were lifted up in every sphere of human life. During Mao's reign, thousands of Chinese died of starvation and inhuman labor.  A...

 The Carnal Mind

The depravity of the human heart and the inability of sinful man to keep it, ensures that the law of God is not enough to be saved.

We cannot be saved by keeping the 10 commandments only, but we are saved by putting our trust in Jesus Christ, who alone fulfilled all the demands of the perfect law of God.

He is the only hope for sinners with weak flesh.

The perfect law of God reveals the dreadful state of man.

But once we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we are cleansed from all sins.

We are saved by what Jesus Christ did, not by what we do. Read Romans. 8:1-15


                                    The Disturbing Situation today

The loyalty and commitment of the people are crucial to the success of any political system with a focused leadership.
However, the covert moral and financial support for criminals, would, without doubt, result in unabating insecurity and its attendant consequences on the political system and the economy.
The support is woven around self-centered and pecuniary interests.
The absence of cooperation on matters relating to the elimination of economic stagnation and political marginalization of the people is influenced by insensitive leadership.
This leadership seeks to tinker with the constitution and existing laws, in order to facilitate dictatorial acts of omission and commission in a bid to regulate the people's behavior while at the same time depriving them of a large volume of resources.

It is very glaring that a number of political blocs and ethnic persuasions have been deprived of participating in the decision-making process of the system, which has resulted in a clear case of oppression and overwhelming structural imbalance in the polity.
The issue now is the moral indignation by the people against obvious constitutional breaches, which has been misconstrued by the state actors to mean that the differences suggest that so much has changed.
The worrisome situation today is a product of the manipulation of the system, deliberate impoverishment of the people, and the negative influence of moneybags, who are now political office holders in this democracy.

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...
