The Power of Doing Nothing (4) By Babatunde Olugboji Next week, we’ll conclude this series on the weeds and the wheat in Matthew 13.

If she is wealthy, smart, a young girl, a grown woman, or a professional, she can never not carry your DNA. She has been begotten by your seed. Put…

The Power of Doing Nothing (3) By Babatunde Olugboji Isn’t our God wonderful? In God’s Word we find all we need to be who He wants us to be. And it is in His Word that we find the formula about timing. ‘There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) In other words, there is the time to move and the time to be still. In Matthew 13, the parable of the seed sower talks about planting and harvesting, and how the devil tried to corrupt good seed. In the parable, the…

God taught Noah how to float a big, massive object on water using tares as coats. Years later, men searched, researched, and discovered what God…

I read the story of a poor man who sat on a side street in Manhattan, New York, begging for alms in the heat of summer and in the cold of winter. City council workers found him dead one extremely cold morning. They found over $100,000.00 sewn into them when they opened his clothes. Can you believe the irony of a man loaded with so much money begging for…
