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…

KILLING THE HIDDEN GIANTS – Mike Bamiloye   Genesis 27:26-27, 29 NKJV [26] Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.” [27] And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said: “Surely, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field Which the LORD has blessed. [29] Let peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you. Be master over your brethren, And let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, And blessed…

An Incomplete Gospel By Femi Adebayo The following comparison between attributes of the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Salvation provides a better understanding of the two. 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…

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…

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…
