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…

My Encounter and Position on Prophet TB Joshua (RIP)! By: Gracious Akintayo With recent happenings in our society, especially in Christendom, as a stakeholder and key player, it is pertinent for me to express my opinion. But, I refrain from commenting or writing for the sake of not writing out of emotion, sympathy or bias without clarity or conscience.  For any reasonable, spirit filled and Bible addicted believer (not religious homogeneous and theological bible reading or verses crammer christians), it will not be long to discern what is truth, why is the truth and what proves the truth. You will…

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…
