Abraham, David, Job, and Our Lord Jesus: Examples of Saints’ Divine Responsibility By Femi Adebayo There are ancient landmarks that  Fathers of Faith have set! Don’t remove them (Proverbs 22:28). Rather, follow such examples. Jeremiah declared, “Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls…Unfortunately, …they said, we will not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:16. Abraham rescues his nephew Lot (who we can say got what he deserved ) – Genesis 13-14 That was a spiritual old…

An Insight into Grace By Babatunde Olugboji  Grace! Someone once described the doctrine of the grace of God as “The very centre and core of the whole Bible.” It is a word that is thrown around a lot, especially in church and among believers. Sometimes we even use it to excuse our bad behaviour, as if God condones bad behaviour.  But what does it mean? We will seek to answer this question in the next couple of weeks, as we dissect the concept of God’s grace. Grace has been variously defined as free sovereign favour to the ill-deserving; love that…

What’s My Purpose? By Babatunde Olugboji What exactly is my purpose? You may have asked yourself this question more than once. A preacher provides a good clue: the place where God wants you to be, as opposed to where you are at the moment. It’s often a spiritual location but could also be a physical one. Prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17 went through several situations and locations, including the Brook of Cherith, one of the many ravines that emptied its waters into the Jordan from the mountains to the east. God commanded Elijah to depart from Samaria, to turn…

Inspirational: #FactsOfLife TAKE AWAY!  By Rev. Femi Adepoju “You are only a guarantee of God’s protection when you are in your place of grace. When you leave, struggle takes over.” “When you are in a position of accountability, stay focused.” “What you believe is the vehicle to your arrival.” Hard knocks By Min. Mike Oyegun “It doesn’t matter who spoke first or any dreaded, fearful and destructive prophecy against you, nor any situation and circumstances against your life.

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…
