A Political Solution Is Not the Answer To A Spiritual Problem -Femi Adebayo Spirituality?  Politics?  How can we mention these in the same breath?  Most people would say you can be either a spiritual seeker – or a political activist—but never both. For those caught in, “either/or” thinking, politics and spirituality seem worlds apart – two different arenas that should never be mixed or they produce deadly results – such as we see today with certain politicians trying to impose their religious beliefs on everyone else through public policies.  But there’s a big difference between spirituality and religion. “Religion” refers…

Refusal To Accept Wrongdoings is a Witchcraft -Eucharia Anunobi Popular Nigerian actress turned minister of the gospel, Evang. Eucharia Anunobi has reached out to people who are rigid and unrepentant of their wrong doings. She described people who don’t own up to their mistakes and usually give excuses to cover up their wrong act as an embodiment of witchcraft. Eucharia Anunobi decreed the unapologetic attitude of some people for not being able to own up to their mistakes as an act of witchcraft spirit. Quoting from 1 Samuel 15 : 23, using king Saul as example, she said, “Not admitting…

Set Sexual Boundaries -Gbile Akanni  Adhere to this seriously: Set your boundaries and never allow anyone to compromise your holiness. Sexual immorality is all over the world.

It is spreading fast into every nook and cranny and children are also being initiated into the club. It’s no news that 8-10 years old children…

Your Past Mistakes Do Not Define Who You Are -Babatunde Olugboji The narrative of Judah in Genesis 38 is illustrative of the fact that a fault in your family line doesn’t exclude you from divine favor.  Judah did some really horrible things, he took some steps that he shouldn’t have taken. He slept with Tamar, his daughter in law, admittedly inadvertently, and Tamar gave birth to twin boys.  Perez and his twin brother Zerah were the product of the shocking one-night stand between Tamar and Judah. Despite the errors in the life of his parents, Perez grew up to become…

INSPIRATION:  #FactsOfLife High Points: How is it that you do not understand? (Mark 8:21) By Iruofagha James “Whose unbelief is stopping God from working in your life?” “Whenever we dispute God’s word it’s like testing His validity and we will fail to enjoy His blessings.” “There is foundational truth in the word of God; tested on principles and other keys.” “No prayers can take the place or eliminate seed planting keys. Seed planting should be an everyday affair for real Christians.” “Tithe is more than nothing other than a declaration/demonstration of your faith and love for God.” “God is…

It is Time for Your Breakthrough By Babatunde Olugboji Still on how grace can massively impact us as believers, and still on the story of Judah, the brother of Joseph the dreamer, we’ll continue examining the narrative of the birth of his two sons, a delivery that was filled with both drama and miracle.  Judah in Genesis 38 appeared to be a man doomed by his poor choices. When his two sons were put to death by God, it became clear that he was not a great dad. He pushed Tamar, his daughter in law out of his home and unknowingly…

The Early Church and the Marketplace By Femi Adebayo There is much fanfare when a person is ordained into the ministry, but the question is can God ordain a person to impact souls and produce profits in the marketplace just as we do in ministry? Early Christians made the marketplace the focal point of their ministry because their occupations regularly took them there.  As they conducted business, it was natural for them to present the gospel to the people they encountered.  In fact, only one of the 40 extraordinary manifestations of God’s power recorded in Acts happened in a religious venue: …

The Spiritual Nature of the Marketplace By Femi Adebayo “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”. Ephesians 6:12. Everyone Is a Spiritual Being People are innately spiritual and (whether or not they recognize it) are involved in a life-long quest for enlightenment and fulfillment. Men and women without God are incomplete.  Spiritual fulfillment occurs through a relationship with God who came to us as a Man, Jesus Christ. There is no higher goal, no deeper…
