“But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” 1 Corinthians 1:24-25 Some people are yet to understand that being a Christian is not a disadvantage….
Many years ago, I discovered that we don’t have future, we have just today–one day. Your future successes are predicated on your daily activities, and your daily activities are predicated on your habits. How great your future will be is predicated on the habits you developed in the past. For example, if you developed the…
Anytime I am studying the Bible, I usually engage in detailed analysis. In fact, sometimes I can stay on a verse for a long time considering the Greek and Hebrew and other languages to have a broader understanding of God’s Word.

Have you noticed that anytime there is civil unrest in Lagos, people troop out to Lekki Epe expressway and disrupt vehicular movements, loot shopping malls and some neighborhoods? The reason is simple: there are poor neighborhoods near or right…
Gen Z (as it is called) refers to the generation that was born between 1996-2010. This generation are raised on the internet and social media age. It is like God deposited in them the ability to use the computer and smartphone without learning it from anybody. A man of God said that he used an…
While studying Acts of Apostles the other day, I came to the conclusion that one of the challenges that bedevils ministry is envy. There are ministers who can’t stand the rising of others. When you mention the name of a minister God is using mightily, they will make negative comments about him to dampen your…
