Revealing His Truth

The story of one despotic African herbalist would continue to attest to the unquestionable and limitless  power of the one and only Almighty God. The man took hostage of a particular village in South western Nigeria. Every villager practically feared him because of his wicked act and often jungle justice against his offenders and enemies, he was said to take what rightfully belongs to others and afflict them for it.  An occasion of one of his show off of power and wickedness, two young Christian brothers visited the village under undescribable circumstances.  After his display demonic power, the young brothers challenged his actions and stood against what he was demanding for. The herbalist got furious at the challenge he got from this young man and promised to strike them.  He angrily displaced into his shrine, made his enchantments, incantation and sent his evil arrow to these brothers. While the arrows approached these young brothers, they issued commands and decr...

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us THE VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:47). Yes, we often hear about victories in several sphere of life; a sportsman at the end of a sport fiesta would either celebrate his victory or lament his defeat, the same is the case with a student engaged in an academic competition. Like I noted earlier, people celebrate several victories in this world, but there is one victory -THE VICTORY. "THE VICTORY" is a definite, sure and final victory. It is the victory bequeathed to us by God through his Son, Jesus. 1John 5:4 talks about this "For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is THE VICTORY that overcometh the world even our faith". Our possession of THE VICTORY is tied to our sonship and faith in God through the personality of Christ.  Beloved, while you desire victories in all sphere of life in this world it is important for you to possess THE VICTORY. It is a victory that spells yo...

I had a friend in my secondary school days, he was so diligent to studying that several students noticed him. Then, some student would ask him, why don't you give a little time to play with friends, we often tell him "all work can no play makes Jack a dull boy"; he would respond by saying something like "friends, as for me, I have decided to study hard, if possible even while am asleep, to become a lawyer in the future". Some of us back then would laugh in jest or complement and he would just keep focused. You know what? He was recently seen on national television as one of the lawyers handling one of the high profile political cases in the country. Though fictional, yet instructive of how our decisions today can influence our position and placement tomorrow. Decisions in life can never be compromised, whether you like it or not you will make decisions. Have you thought of it, everyday you make decision on what to wear, where to go, how to relate with people an...

There is always a new before the renewing, for without the new, there is nothing to renew. Pursue and attain a new life in Christ; then, the renewing begins. The mind, although an visible part of the human body, wields great influence on the attitude, behavior, and actual way of life of a man. In fact, the central position the mind occupies in the physical and social existence of man has made it more referred to as the heart which is used to describe the place that houses the human life. For medical sciences, once the heart is bad, the physical existence of a man is threatened and when it stops beating, the man is dead.  Dear friend, you must always strive for the healthy condition of your heart or mind. No wonder, Proverbs 4:23 says "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Renewing the mind is a conscious effort that must be made by someone who has benefitted of the saving Grace of God in Christ Jesus and have obtained a new heart experienc...
