DIVORCE

The increasing rate of marital separation in our society has become a matter of concern in Christian circles. Church leaders are getting wearied of the frequency of marital issues on their counsel row. Our courts now attend to cases of marital dissolution than ever. Scarcely will you read a newspaper without coming across cases of divorce. The currency of this happening in our world has grown a sentiment of, "if your marriage refuses to work, break it!". This is very far from God's precept on marriage and family life. "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:6) I remembered vividly a couple of weeks ago, I met a woman with a court clerk who came across my way demanding to see a colleague of mine who happened to be her husband (I never met her until then). The visit was to deliver a court notice for a divorce suit. Since, I knew little or nothing about the whole matter, I cou...

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

I heard of a scenario where a group of travellers contained in a bus carriage were plying a traveling route when their vechile generated fire. Thanks to a 'good Samaritan' who demonstrated kindness, he parked his own car, hurriedly got and quickly applied his fire extinguisher on the burning vechile to rescue the situation from escalating into a dissastrious inferno. But for God's mercy, no life was lost in the incident.  Considering this, I thought of the place called Hell; the eternal destination of unrepentant sinners, impenitent backsliders and athiestic apostates. "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8) It is an abode of eternal burning for the devil and his disciples (Revelation 20:10). Hell! An unimaginable and indescribable valley of fire; not jus...

STAINED?

Stains are not difficult to discover on the surface. I remembered the other day, I got a white shirt of mine stained with oil, it was not funny, I felt ashamed than embarassed to be seen that way. Unfortunately, I was not in any way close to my wardrobe, I could have changed immediately. Many thanks to that small white handkerchief of mine that covered up till I  was able to get an alternative. Stains are unwanted and embarrassing, they are blemishes that demeans our appearance and presentation. Just imagine yourself in your well tailored  and laundered office outfit, standing for a cab to work, then got stained by mud water from a reckless drive; I am sure you would rather be late than appear in stains at work. However, the incident may appear too light an offence from the motorist since it was not an intentional act; yet it could cost an identity slight you might not get over  so soon.  Dear reader, much as we detest stains physically, it is expected that we sh...

AN HIGHWAY

Except you live very far away from our modest civilization; highways are not difficult to come by in this part of the world, specifically for the dominance of automobiles in our transport system. Highways are speed routes for vechiles, scarely with congestions. Road users are meant to abide by traffic rules and focus on their lanes to avoid event of accidents. Distractions on the highway might be disastrous.  Highways are lined via forest regions, specifically those linking cities with distanced proximity. This often presents an unpalatable experience for automobile owners and users when mobile carriage mal-functions on their journey; getting helps in such situations might be sometimes difficult.  Dear reader, at this juncture, I like to bring to fore a different highway to that which we are quite familiar with. There is another Highway, not actually for automobiles but for heavenly minded persons, that is Heaven's Highway- The Way of Holiness. "And an highway shall be there,...
