This is an edited conversation I had with one of my readers on WhatsApp and has been shared with permission. *** Hi Ufuomaee, I want to tell you something. I made this friend when I was in Nysc orientation camp. We were the best of friends, though he […]
I recently got into a debate with my sister about fornication vs homosexuality. It’s an argument that I’ve had before, and I had in mind to write a post about it, but put it off. Well, today’s passionate discussion rekindled that flame in me. I think this is […]
The rain storm had continued through the night into the early morning. Flights into Lagos were postponed until further notice due to heavy flooding. Danny would be stuck in Port Harcourt until Sunday evening. He didn’t like that at all. With Lily’s phone intersected, he didn’t have a […]
As was their weekly custom, Bolu and Lola attended Church together on this first Sunday of April. They sat in their usual seats, and greeted their regular neighbours. Pastor Kunle Ogunbanjo preached about the Cross of the Disciple, following on from last week’s Easter theme. It was a powerful […]
This question was asked in a group I manage on WhatsApp. It doesn’t relate to any particular post I have written, but I believe the lessons and answer I gave are important to share. It was posed: This issue keeps bothering through my mind pls i need your […]
Time is one thing that we are always complaining about. Whether there’s not enough time in the day and you’re too busy, or you’ve got too much time on your hands and you’re terribly bored. Or maybe you can’t wait to grow up so you can do this […]
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that […]
The mind is as to the heart as reason is as to passion. They war continually and rarely agree. The mind believes it is superior, and seeks always to lead the heart. The heart however longs for independence…to do as it pleases, damning the consequences. I see parallels […]
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, […]
Jesus said, “wherever two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in their midst” (Matt 18:20). In the beginning, the disciples of Jesus met at public places, in the market place, at synagogues and at the Temple. Many met to fellowship at the homes of […]
Every now and then, someone will ask you this question, when they mean to know whether or not you attend or belong to an approved Church. It usually follows a discussion on faith or religion, or in some cases, interrupts a budding discussion, because the person asking is […]
Do you go to Church? Do you know why you go to Church? Hopefully, if you go to Church, you go because it is a place of spiritual healing, restoration and nourishment, where you do not only seek to receive but to give to others too. There are […]
Okay, before you call me an alarmist, hear me out! I think we live in a world where it is taken for granted that what is the status quo is good and right. The status quo is standard. The status quo has history and authority. We assume that […]
“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life…” (John 5:39-40). Jesus made this accusation to the Pharisees, but I believe that it […]
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). Jesus tells us the very nature of God, and the nature of the worship true believers are to give to Him. God is a Spirit. What that tells me […]
