LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH (PART 5)

Ordinarily, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship Of Nigeria (PFN) are the two major Christian bodies saddled with the spiritual task of uniting the church and presenting it as a family of the people of God that can speak in one voice particularly when attacked by not just unbelievers but by the agent of the state,however,these Christian bodies over the years can best be described as socio-political groups whose agendas has nothing to do with Christianity. Some years ago, I was in the office of a former chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Lagos island chapter to present one of my newly published books but to my greatest shock,he told me that he would only attend to me for just few minutes as he was in a hurry to catch up with the state Exco meeting at the secretariat where a huge sum of money donated by a certain politician was to be shared, can you imagine that?. Why on earth will an organisation set up to represent the interest of Christ Jesus be turned into a house of iniquity where stolen money from the Government treasury is shared?.

LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH.(PART 8)

There's no doubt that the church here in Nigeria desperately needs prayers considering the many challenges therein,the church is seriously pleagued by all manners of crisis which in my opinion are all man made as Christ Jesus made it clear in the bible that he will build his church upon the rock and the gate of hell shall not prevail over it. Historically speaking,the early church both in the scriptures and here in Nigeria centred their works on love for one another and unity of purpose but today, the church can now be likened to an empire where the emperor battle to secure his or her territory. Many observers of our today's Churches are of the opinion that the real reason why Churches are springing up in every corners of the country is because every pastor who decides to break away from a church has just one thing in his or her mind and that thing is nothing but to set up an empire where he or she is only answerable to himself not to any one else and when they are s...

LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH ( PART 9)

When I hear stories of Pastors who are always in the habit of running from pillar to post on accounts that their lives are under attack by witches and wizards, I laugh and at the same time weep for the church of God, is it not shameful that ministers of God who ought to be terrors to the kingdom of darkness are now the ones running from them? Did you know that some so called ministers of God in a bid to avoid being killed by their perceived enemies now seeks for protection charms from Juju-men leaving some like us wondering if our God is no more in existence? Just recently, a young man demanded to know why the powers of God Almighty is not moving in the temple of today like it was in the old, he sighted several examples of clergies who practically demonstrated the powers of God in their lives while they were here, well, the answer I gave to him was simple and straightforward and I did so by also asking him some throwback questions such as, how spiritual is the church of today...

THE CONSEQUENCES OF PARENTAL FAILURE(PART 1).

According to the scriptures, children are gifts or blessings from God but truth be told, the alarming rate of antisocial behaviours by the young people in our today's world leaves one wondering if parents truly appreciates or cherish such blessings. Parenting is a very serious business that requires the total commitment of parents and in all honesty any parent who is not ready to give his or her all has no business bringing any child into the world as such children may end up as terrors to the entire society. Ordinarily, parents are the pillars upon which any responsible family values are built, they are custodians of their family's morals and their behaviours within and outside of their homes goes a long way to speak on who they are but looking at the quality of parenting in our today's world, one cannot but weep for a generation that in my opinion is almost destroyed beyond redemption largely due to poor parenting and the consequences of this can visibly be seen by ...
