The Nigeria I Knew By Pastor Femi Adebayo The Nigeria I knew is not the Nigeria we see today, and many in the present generation find it difficult to relate to the realities of the nation we once experienced. As I grew up, Nigeria was built on strong communal values. Village life fostered genuine relationships where neighbours looked after one another without prejudice. We celebrated not only success but also the process that led to it. Accountability, discipline, integrity, and love for one another were defining characteristics of our society. Parents, teachers, and community leaders worked together to mould…

SAMPSON: Gifted But Unguarded (Part 1) By Babatunde Olugboji Two of the most prominent people in the Bible were taken down as a result of lack of self-control concerning women. One was Samson, the other was Solomon. Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived, while Sampson was the strongest man who ever lived. Starting this week, we’ll focus on Samson as we begin a series on the lessons to be learned from his fall. The narrative of Samson and Delilah (Judges 13–16) represents one of the most dramatically compelling accounts in the Bible. This account has served as…

Bewitched Away From the Cross (Part 2) By Babatunde Olugboji Apostle Paul’s question in Galatians 3:1 often evokes astonishment. This week, we’ll conclude a mini-series we started last week that sheds light on this important question. Here, Paul speaks with deep pastoral urgency: “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?” Very sharp words, not because he dislikes the Galatians, but because he loves them too much to watch them drift from the truth. Paul is shocked that believers who once received the message of Christ crucified with clarity are now being drawn away into spiritual confusion. Speaking about righteousness,…

Who has bewitched you?” His words are sharp, because he loves them too much to watch them drift from the truth, and not because he hates them. Paul is shocked that believers who once received the message of Christ crucified with clarity are now being drawn away into spiritual confusion. To…
