Joe Oluoma Practically, check children from polygamous homes and those from monogamous homes.  It’s more difficult to practice polygamy in this fast paced and materialistic age than it was in the more agrarian periods. How much time would a man have to satisfy the emotional and intimacy needs of his wives and children?

In Genesis 12:14ff, Abraham lied about his wife to save his head,…

All About Prayer (2) By Babatunde Olugboji All About Prayer (2) By Babatunde Olugboji Prayer is conversation with God, and we should do it without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). As we grow in our love for Christ, we should have a desire to reach out to Him more. We can pray in the Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:14-15) and pray even when words fail us (Romans 8:26-27). At such times, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.  This week, we’ll examine various forms of prayers, and zoom in on the subject of imprecatory prayers in the coming weeks. Prayer of Faith: This…

What Does It Mean That Christ Died For Our Sins?

Scripture provides considerable details in respect of the sacrifice of Jesus for us. He put Himself through excruciating pain, insult, humiliation and ridicule, for our salvation and the forgiveness of our sins. When we refer to Jesus dying for our sins,…

OSINACHI: Is Every Marriage Joined By God? By David K. Aboderin “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?

WIN! By Ben Chiadika I have learnt overtime that no one’s success can hinder mine. Even in the same industry it gladdens my heart when I see others move ahead, because many years ago a truth got a hold of my heart and more and more it’s panned out to be very real and that is that “it’s the bottom that is crowded, there is always room at the top”.
