God’s LOVE Vs Humans Love! By Gracious Akintayo At my devotional time this morning, this topic was dropped into my heart, I opened up my spirit and the word rolled in. Like a torrent of rain, the Holy Spirit began to minister to me on this. I spent time meditating on it, it humble and ministers to me, and I felt sharing with you. Greater love has no one than this…(John 15:13); While we were still a sinner,….(Romans 5:8), A new commandment have I given unto you….(John 13:34), Love is patient, kind….(1Cor. 13:1) and, For God so love the world,…

WHEN SINNERS ARE CONFUSED! By Segun Tewogbola Every harlot was once a virgin, and so every saint was once a sinner.  It is only important to follow up the life of a sinner who truly repent and have it in mind to genuinely follow Jesus Christ, the Way. It was for this same reason that Paul rebuked Peter in the Bible.  Somebody criticized one of my articles – The Doctrine Of Balaam, saying, I was judging the men of God (when I never mention any name) and should face my own business. If the hypocritical attitude of Peter at that…

CONFUSION of the GOSPEL! By Babafemi Adebayo Confusing the Gospel of Salvation with the Gospel of the Kingdom  The misunderstanding between the two topical dimensions of the gospel is a problem for many in the Church. The gospel of Salvation is comparable to crossing the Red Sea. The Blood of Jesus frees us from our oppressor, the devil, who in this case can be compared with Egypt. While the gospel of the Kingdom is represented by the crossing of the Jordan. To reach the Promised Land, we need to cross the Jordan after crossing the Red Sea. Meaning, we have…

Don’t Run From God, Run To Him By Babatunde Olugboji In  2 Kings 18 and 19, we saw how Hezekiah handled threats against him and his regime. At this time, Judah’s entire fortress had been captured and Jerusalem stood like an island in the midst of Assyrian forces, surrounded and besieged. Assyria’s king sent his general to Hezekiah to speak at the gates of the city and made a deadly proposal: surrender! In his earlier years, Hezekiah had favored an alliance with Egypt, in spite of Prophet Isaiah’s continual warnings that God alone was the source of Judah’s protection. And…

CRABOLOGY! By Gracious Akintayo “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love . . . Rejoice with those who rejoice.” Romans 12:10 and 15  The word CRABOLOGY is coined from the word CRAB. The same CRAB is well known to us.  CRABOLOGY is therefore, not about CRABS, but about human behaviour and the tendency to downplay, discourage and disallow someone else from a breakthrough or succeeding at something. There is something interesting but still wicked about CRABS. If you are familiar with fishing or CRABS hunting or have studied CRABS, you would observe and understand that once you have two or…

From Bartered Life To Better Life  By Ben Omoregie Jeremiah.18:1-6.  The Lord directed Jeremiah to go to the potter’s house and there He would give him a message for the Nation.  The story has a lot of lesson for us as disciples of Christ. The Bible made it clear that we are the clay and God is the potter.  It is God, the potter that has the power and the design to what type of vessel He will make us into.  Here are some heroes of the Bible who went through some life storm on their way to success: Joseph…

THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM By Segun Tewogbola Error will die among it’s worshippers” When the Bible says that the friendship with this world is the enmity with God, it is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. How can a gentile magazine named FORBES include the name of a Minister of God among it’s favourites, and the minister in question is comfortable and probably happy with the inclusion?  Wait a minute, if a magazine or tabloid known or associated with evil and occultism, or power of darkness include the name of same Minister of God in their publication, I…

How Do You Handle Bad News? By Babatunde Olugboji At the heart of the series we are starting today are 2 things: a letter and a prayer. In Bible days, letters were often the preferred means of communication, as illustrated in Nehemiah 6:17. ‘Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them.’ And before the advent of modern technology which has made communication so easy, the art of letter writing was considered an important requirement. Even today a letter is an important means of communication in both…
