Revealing His Truth

There are several issues that are beyond the knowledge of man. This fact has necessitated the usual saying, "who knows tomorrow?" The expression is often made to give hope in a tiring or seemingly unpromising and unproductive affair. However, one of man's greatest limitation is seeing beyond the reach of his eyes. As you read these words, with the same  posture you have there, can you say a bit of what is happening in the next compound to you? Can you talk about what is going to happen circumstantially tomorrow at exactly 9:22am? Can you tell the next blessing in God's pipeline for you? My friend, you don't know any of these except you are possessed by a spirit; ensure it an holy and not an evil spirit. Just thinking, do you know, if we were not told by your parents or guardian so many of us will lack knowledge of our birth dates just as we all lack knowledge of our death dates. When talking about knowledge, at best you can only talk of man's desires and expe...

It was a cool but ruinous evening, scarcely have we enjoyed the freshness of the free gift of air in our residence, we had of a fire outbreak in a neighbouring institution. The news without delay has gone round town, students and staff of the institution got on their ways to rescue the situation. In the meanwhile, I noticed an elderly man sobbing and been consoled by some others. My inquisitiveness stirred my investigation, I got to know he was one of the teachers in the institution whose office, said to be containing most of his academic merits and probably his certificates, had been engulfed in the burning fire. While others with zeal tried to break into some office spaces to rescue documents and other office equipments, I felt his pain and also thought of how papers could cause tears from an elder, but I discovered, papers differs and this will determine the measure of importance attached to it. What an unpalatable experience! Sure you know what certificates could mean to i...

I bring before you the subject of Peace. The desire for peace in the world cannot be overemphasised, specifically with the various devastating experiences that has sieged the human race in history. One truth many people have failed to come in terms with is, the quest for national peace can only be a reality when individual peace is attained. When individuals, families and organisations are able to achieve peace, then global peace will be much more achievable. Get around and interact with people, you will discover how peace constitutes one of man's most invaluable needs. The lack of peace by individuals and groups have generated depression, fear and even different sort of medical challenges. I believe you will agree with me that peace cannot be man-made but divine (it is from God). While it is true that some people thought the reason for their lack of peace is a result of their inability to meet daily needs, family challenges, oppression and affliction; others are quick to blame peo...

Quite recently, a highly placed leader and administrator was said to have encouraged his subordinates openly on the use of POSITIVE LIES. This, according to him should be employed to save as well as pursue individual and organisational objectives since the use of lies is not well welcomed in social dealings, moral relationship and more, considered a sin in chaste religious circles. Perhaps, a new strategy to lend credence to the adoption of lies, POSITIVE LIES! A well intellectually caved out paradox persuasively tempting to justify the usage of lies to the morally correct and spiritually upright.  Before now, I hear people use such phrases as 'little' and 'white' (you may be aware of some others) to qualify the nature of lie been told. Although, I lack the knowledge of what a 'white lie' mean, but 'little lie' might be less difficult to understand; it could mean a small false statement with little or no defacing or damming outcome.  One thing that mu...

A friend of mine who would certainly not mind me sharing his experience for others to learn, got engaged in a so-called investment on which He committed a significant part of his savings. Just like any other, the deal behind any investment is to make resourceful profit soon or later. However, according to him, he never intended to commit so much to it; but over time, he had to empty his life savings to overhaul his returns in the investment. The unfortunate happened when he suffered an overwhelming loss of the said investment. I think a young man like this friend of mine would be in a better position to tell the ordeals and internal pains associated with a wasted investment. Permit me the space to clarify that investments are not only in terms of monetary assets. Parents invest in their children by getting them access to qualitative and quantitative education; teachers do the same by imparting the essential knowledge and skills needed for the child overall development. Similarly, go...

In my little understanding, a vessel is anything that can contain substances or objects; better still, a container. I will not forget easily the difficulty associated with sharing things with others while we were younger, just as we seat and watch among children today. Two school children were given a toy gift to play with by their teacher having impressed her on their performance in lessons, while the first was engaged with the toy, the other demanded for the use of the toy, since they both can exercise ownership over the object. In couple of minutes, the two supposed friends were already at logger heads over the said toy. Not quite long from then, both of them started making aggressive statements of ownership over the toy than the other. In the end,  a serious fight ensued between the two that would result in the damage of the toy. Do you know the toy ended up destroyed from the competitive pullings and dragging it was never spared of by these two kids. Dear reader, the end of a ...

In affiliation to the scriptures, it is often said "a good name is better than gold and silver". A good name in this context could mean a savoured character and repute, while the gold and silver obviously points to prosperity. The essence of this saying is to draw attention to the popular mad race for wealth at the expense of a good name. In quest for prosperity, several people have engaged in dubious and diabolical practices rather than dutiful diligence. You hear some desperate wealth seekers say things like "whatever it takes and will cost me, I must get wealthy"; and true to their words, they do everything possible, even the unthinkable to attain it with little or no consideration of the consequences of an ill gotten wealth. Indeed, wealth is good and it is one of the evidences of prosperity. What is yet to be understood by several wealth seekers is that God never created any man poor or destined anyone to live in poverty, man has only determined his condition ...
