God Has  Seen Your Tears! By Babatunde Olugboji As we end the series on how to respond to bad news, using the reaction of King Hezekiah to a series of terrible events, we will conclude on how God came good for him.  The Bible makes us understand that all of a sudden, the king became sick and near death. And Prophet Isaiah declared to him: “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’ (Isaiah 38:1) Thus, Isaiah pronounced a death sentence on the king. It wasn’t made clear in the Bible…

When Sickness Strikes By Babatunde Olugboji Still on King Hezekiah, we will examine how he responded to the news that he was about to die. The Bible says suddenly he became sick and near death. And Isaiah went to him, declaring: “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’ (Isaiah 38:1) Thus, Isaiah pronounced a death sentence on the king. We are not told how and why Hezekiah became sick; all we know was that he fell ill. It may have been through something obvious to all, or it may have been…

MIRROR OF TRUTH By Segun Tewogbola   Although God sent them to serve the people, these smart Ministers ended up with people serving them, giving themselves many religious titles – it is their own coat of many colors (they are naked without it). Look at the financial status of their members, and see the congregation struggling and looking for a sudden breakthrough. Let us be sincere with ourselves, are those members responsible for the payment of aircrafts owned by their G.O? These bigger than life, mega pastors would never tell you their actual source of finance. These Nicolas keep telling…

When Jesus prayed the Lord’s prayer, He prayed for the manifestation of what was happening in Heaven to happen on earth. Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven – Matt 6:9-10. His emphasis was more than salvation. Gospel of Salvation: Ø  Proclamation Evangelism/Salvation Ø  Eternal, Heavenly Focus, Evangelistic Ø  Addresses Only the Soul Ø  Rapture Minded…

Submit That Issue To God By Babatunde Olugboji King Hezekiah gave us the blueprint on how to respond to bad news, first as he handled threats against him and his regime in 2 Kings 18 and 19, and secondly, as he reached out to God when Isaiah delivered a devastating message from God that he was about to die. In 2 Kings 18 and 19, Judah’s entire fortress had been breached and Jerusalem stood like an island in the midst of Assyrian forces, surrounded and besieged.  The King of Assyria dispatched his lieutenants to Hezekiah to speak at the gates…
