ARE YOU PURSUING HIS VISION OR YOUR AMBITION? – Joshua Olaoye Many have left their vision for ambition.The former comes from God, while the latter from the soul of man. Satan also manipulates and thrusts his agenda on people in form of ambitions. Wealth has power to tempt man into the pursuit of ambition. That there is more-than-enough resources does not always mean God is leading in a particular direction. Be sure, first of His voice, before considering the available resources. When ambition crosses the path of vision, there is a subtle substitution that takes place, such that men don’t…

Lessons from David, the ‘Comeback Kid’ -Babatunde Olugboji One of the most instructive statements in the Bible can be found in Acts 13:22 where God was almost bragging about David as being the man after his own heart; an individual who would do everything God required of him. Despite David’s many transgressions, you can almost describe him, in today’s parlance, as the ‘comeback kid,’ for he came back from the brink several times. It is like the case of the righteous person falling seven times, but each time he fell, he rose again, unlike the wicked who stumbled when calamity…

WHY I GIVE TITHE…. By Pastor Dolapo Adelakun 1. I give tithe because I grew up seeing my maternal grandfather pay tithe. He was very strict on tithing and would always insist that his children do the same. He died strong like Moses….. his eyes did not grow dim. His natural gait was not reduced. He died blessed like Abraham…. rich in all things. Till today, even those of us grandchildren still partake of his resources. It has never gone dry after over thirty years of his transition. He died the covenant death…. Nothing missing. Nothing broken. He had 15…

God is not an author of confusion or a man that should lie. He has His standard, rules, style, direction and order on how His things should be done for service and worship. When it comes to…

What Made God Hold David in High Esteem? By Babatunde Olugboji God’s statement that in David he found a man after his own heart, that David will do everything he asked him to do (Acts 13:22) raises a few interesting questions: . What was it about David that stood out to God? What did God like about David? Shouldn’t his many transgressions have kept God away from him? You can even argue that morally, Saul, whom he replaced, was perhaps better than him. At least Saul didn’t have proclivities of a sexual nature. True, David’s character was considerably flawed; he…
