Our God enriches us with His grace

Image
Our God enriches us with His grace, demands some work from us, and ensures that no harm befalls us as His willing subjects. Our God of all time, all places, and all people moves ahead of tradition and popular expectations. Read Isaiah 45:1-7 The Local Scene- Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine was from Jappai village in Northern Cameroon. Maitatsine, a Mufu by tribe, became a Muslim in 1940. The tradition of the ethnic group revolved around human sacrifice and superstition. Maitatsine's followers, then, were young people, initiated into the group through the consumption of hypnotized concoctions. This brought in its wake violent crimes, an aberration to all right-thinking mortals. Sadly, the disturbing trend and source of inspiration of these criminals emanate from the heavy reliance of the leadership at the different levels of government on outlawed substances, in desperate attempts to hold on to political power. Very disturbing.

Attributes of Leadership 5-Experience

Experience is the definite foundation for courage in addressing crucial and fundamental matters in ensuring a background of success in solving a great number of relatively unimportant matters.  It also includes decision-making skills devoid of delay and initiative in implementing crucial decisions that revolve on the wealth of experience an individual has garnered over time. Experience is the basis of all that would be successful.

Pray for God's Deliverance

Image
Let us be persistent in our prayers for God to deliver us from the ''hands of the oppressors''.  Exodus 3:1-10 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God,  even  to Horeb. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush  was  not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here  am  I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest  is  holy ground. 6 Moreover he said, I  am  the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God o...

Lessons in Insecurity : The Nigeria Model

Image
  Adolf Hitler labeled the extermination of the Jews in Europe,''the Final Solution'', while the military dictatorship in Argentina, which embarked on an unprecedented killing of its citizens, code named the same ''The Process of National Reorganization''. The activities of bandits, insurgents and herdsmen in Nigeria which have claimed thousands of lives are similar to the above-mentioned. Between 1976 and 1983, millions of citizens lost their lives in Argentina. Death squads operating under secret circumstances and under the cover of the state, murdered about 11,000 people, which is now described as ''The Disappeared''. Two million people escaped persecution, while hundreds of babies born to ''The Disappeared'' were either sold, bartered or murdered. Indeed, happenings in different states of Nigeria, including, Borno, Benue, Taraba and Plateau and Zamfafra states, among several others, indicate the Government's adequa...

Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos of the Philippines

Image
The Philippines was among the poorest countries in the world. Between 1965 and 1986, during which Marcos called the shots, he, alongside his wife, frittered away billions of the country's money meant for governance. Imelda, the first lady, was the proud owner of the largest women's wardrobe in the world, which featured five thousand(5,000) pairs of ladies' shoes. The President and his wife bought mansions in major cities of the world and invested in the top-rated multinational companies around the globe, even though the citizens of the Philippines remained in the firm grip of hunger and poverty. When Marcos and his wife were forced out of office, an unspecified number of corruption cases were brought against them. Donate

Change for the Better

  Our God is able to help us to become better people-responsible, reliable and selfless. Genesis 45:4-43 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I  am  Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years  hath  the famine  been  in the land: and yet  there are  five years, in the which  there shall  neither  be  earing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now  it was  not you  that  sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

The Lord is with you always

Regardless of your travails and challenges, do not allow your faith to waiver, you will overcome them. Genesis 39 1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD  was  with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all  that  he had he put into his hand. 5 And it came to pass from the time  that  he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph...

  In 1974, the committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities put in place a panel of the two admissions experts-Mr. L. R Kay, Secretary, Universities Central Council on Admissions of the United Kingdom and Mr. Pettipierre, Director of Ontario Universities Application Center of the province of Ontario, Canada-to examine issues and problems arising from the system of admissions into universities then. The panel submitted its report to the committee. Sometime in February 1976, the Federal Military Government also put in place the National Committee on University Entrance, with Mr. Michael. S. Angulu as Chairperson, the committee comprised of 14 other members, who represented various other interests and bodies related to matriculation examinations, university placement and post-secondary education in the country. In February 1977, the Angulu-led committee submitted its report and recommendations. After going through the recommendations, the committee of Vice Chancellors, the N...
