IMPRISONED AT BIRTH! By Segun Tewogbola What other dungeon is as dark and as strong as the mind? In the dungeon of their minds, men will buy and drink a poison if the poison is well advertised! Our fathers and mothers voluntarily sold themselves into religion, and they gave up their minds for religious spirit to direct and dictate their pace in life – all of our wonderful religious parents did! Many of us were given birth religiously into religion, at birth we were imprisoned by religion with our minds formatted by doctrines of our church, and the traditions of…

DOES PRAYER WORK? By David Aboderin Many people pray and some even device prayer patterns, but do they really believe that the prayers are effective? Do they sincerely feel that what they are praying about will receive answers or are they just babbling out words?  We have turned prayers to trading and commerce where we speak about various needs, but not because we believe in God who answers prayers, just means of relieving ourselves from each of the burdens we felt. People have turned prayers to incantations,  something like what the native doctor  will ask you to put in the…

How You can Benefit from God’s Grace By Babatunde Olugboji As we continue our series on grace, we will examine in Genesis 38, the story of Judah, the brother of Joseph and the man who experienced the grace of God in more ways than one. Judah was the fourth son of the Biblical patriarch Jacob and his first wife, Leah, whom Judah didn’t particularly love. She was the older sister of his second (and favored) wife, Rachel.  Judah was with his brothers when Joseph told them of his dreams. He, along with his brothers, hated Joseph, according to the Bible…

Masquerade Is Not Transform By Segun Tewogbola The inadequate knowledge of Kingdom matters have made us make the Devil what he is not.  Some Christians are fond of saying, ‘Esu ni agbara, ko ni igbala’ – (the devil has power but has no salvation). The truth of this was made known when Jesus said, “ALL POWER HAVE BEEN GIVEN UNTO ME” – means nothing left! In the same light and manner, many still believe, the devil can transform himself to another being entirely. This is a big lie! “And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel…

WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR GOD? (Exodus 3:13 – 17): By Ben Omoregie Names are very important. Some people in the church may not know the name of the God they assemble to worship. It is important to know the name of your God. People may ask you the name of your God, as they did to Jonah the Prophet, (Jonah 1:4-10). God met Moses by the side of the desert by the burning bush that was not consumed. God called him and Moses answered. God told Moses that He was sending him to bring the children of Israel…

Grace is The Opposite of Karma By Babatunde Olugboji This is a pertinent question as we continue our series on grace. Grace is most needed and best understood in the midst of sin, suffering, and brokenness. We live in a world of earning, deserving, and merit, and these result in judgment. That is why everyone wants and needs grace. Judgment kills. Only grace makes us alive. A shorthand for grace is “mercy, not merit.” Grace is the opposite of karma. In Hinduism and Buddhism, karma means your reward will be based on your action. If you are good, you will…
