Seek God's Mercy, Grace and Wisdom

Image
All ability for service comes only from God. Let us ask God for mercy, grace and wisdom because we need HIS mercy, grace and wisdom in all we do. To overlook HIS mercy, grace and wisdom is to fail to live up to our spiritual potential. Take time aside, each day, to read HIS word and pray. A drop of God's wisdom is greater than an ocean of human intelligence. Read Matthew 7:7-11 READ GOD'S WORD                                          The Score Card of Those-in-Charge Most communities in Oyo state among other states in Nigeria have been overwhelmed by criminals, a significant number of whom are residents.

The Mao Zedong Model

Image
  Mao Zedong, popularly known as Chairman Mao, was successful with his noble goals for China through despotic means. His leadership was severe, dictatorial and personalized. For as long as Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution lasted, thousands of Chinese died of starvation and inhuman labor. Mao and his co-travelers argued that the same was the price their people had to pay for re-education. This brand of governance ensured the extermination of the heroes of the civil war and the old party chieftains by the President's armed squad. Chairman Mao is perhaps the role model of those who hold sway in Nigeria today. Indeed, some state governors, are  among several other political office holders, who adore the President. Those in support of this argument insist that on a number of occasions, kneeling  down to greet and/or consult with the President are common place.  They maintain that this is only a sign of respect in the traditional African setting. However, those against t...

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...
