Should Believers Take Part in Politics?

-
Image
Your current state of living is directly influenced by the governing authorities of your region. There is a group of individuals who are in charge of what happens when, where and how. It is what the Bible describes as the “laws of the land”, and the people responsible for that are called politicians. The most dominant political system that we see in the Bible is a monarchy, where a fixed King was in charge and everyone else was to submit quietly. In our time, however, we have seen the rise of democracies. That is when citizens choose who they want to govern them, through the polling system. Now, the big question: should you, as a Christian, participate in any sort of political organisation, or should you just stick to the Gospel of our salvation and prepare people for an eternal kingdom? The answer to this question is actually two-fold. That is, there is a difference between participation in politics in terms of registering to vote and being part of politics in terms of being a Member ...

Let’s Talk: Woman to Woman

-
Image
Philippians 4:3 And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life . One of the most tragic things about the church in Africa is that women are always the first time customers of every false prophet that pops up on every street corner throughout our black Land. If only you could take a tour on the ground and be amazed by the number of ladies that flock to these deception centres. As a fellow woman myself, I cannot sufficiently express how heartbreaking this is. I feel like – as our Lord says – we are sheep without a shepherd ( Mat 9:36 ). I strongly believe our men, husbands, brothers and fathers have severely failed us in terms of leadership in spiritual matters. On one end, however, I still lay the blame, squarely, on each and every Christian girl. Because I do not think there is sufficient hunger in our church...

How to Quickly Lose Your Listeners When Sharing the Word

-
Image
Remember, every believer in Christ is a preacher of the Gospel of our Lord. You may be a clergy man or layman, but sooner than later, you will be given a chance to impact your spiritual capacity on others. Now imagine: you have spent the whole week in rigorous study and a few more hours pleading in prayer, as you anticipate the delivery of the heavenly message. When that day finally arrives, your name is called to the front, you rise up; shivers run down your spine, your head spins, and before you recollect yourself, you are standing before a group of religious people; all staring at you from top to bottom. Within a moment, they have observed everything about you. It’s in that instance that they draw conclusions in their minds about what you are all about and whether you are worth their time or not. More often than not, it’s us preachers who turn people off, regardless of whether we have good sermons or not. Here are some of the things that you must guard against, dear Gospel minister,...

Something is Happening In Nigeria & You Must Know About it!

-
Image
When we talk about the word “cruel” or “killing” or even something as strong as “genocide”, we would all quickly point to the current situation in Gaza. Yet there is something similar, and perhaps far worse, happening right in our Black Land, yet nobody seems to be interested in it. Location: Nigeria. Occasion: Horrific massacre. Victims: Christian population. Perpetrator: Islamic Terrorists. Their crime: believing in the Lord Jesus. I once wrote something about the trouble that Nigeria has brought to the rest of Africa through its mass production of false prophets. What I was somewhat unaware of, however, is that Nigeria is a vast country that is divided into North and South. The South side is Christian dominated and relatively peaceful. This is the part of that nation which is a breeding ground for conmen in the name of Christianity. The North, however, is a completely different world altogether. Muslim dominated and very much in turmoil, as you would imagine. According to my little ...

How to Keep Your Christian Cool on Social Media

-
Image
My experience on the ground, physically interacting with humans from different backgrounds, tells me that people are not that bad after all. Everybody is so kind and understanding, you would insist that there is nothing called a bad person. But wait, get your smart device and log into your social media account. Read the posts, watch the videos of the latest trends, take time to scroll through the comments and be horrified by the hatred, anger and insults that you will find. It’s a totally different world, you would swear they are not the same humans you meet on the ground. What saddens me more is that even we who proudly wear the Christian badge somehow suddenly throw away all that as soon as we are online. As if being a believer in Christ does not apply on the internet. I have taken time and thought about this, and discovered that we need some Christian social media manners. That is, if we ever care about being effective representatives for our Saviour. Here are some of them… Get your...

Tomorrow Is the Day of Rapture! Or Is It?

-
Image
Trending news! Jesus is coming to take the Church as soon as 24 September 2025. That is according to the latest Christian news around the world. If you are perhaps behind on this hot story, I suggest you go to any media platform, Youtube, for example, and type “ Jesus is coming September 2025 ”, and your feed will blow up with it. Admittedly, I am not the one who reacts to whatever is “going viral” on social media, because I always believe that the Bible is always relevant to every situation, whenever. Hence, my attitude is always to ignore the so-called trending news and continue preaching the Bible. Nonetheless, I could hardly restrain myself from responding to this, firstly, because some sincere brethren are concerned about it. Secondly, because I believe we can glean something of value for our Christian sanctification about the issue of the Lord’s Return. Apparently, there is a man somewhere on earth who told the world that rapture will happen this year, on 23rd and 24th of this ...

What is Christian De-construction and How Can You Avoid it?

-
Image
Now and then, here and there, you will meet people who claim that they used to believe wholeheartedly in the Lord Jesus, were dedicated members of such and such a church, but have since renounced all of that. They have now realised that “Christianity is a scam, the Bible is not the word of God” and have, henceforth, discovered “better enlightenment” and have moved on to it. That is called Christian deconstruction. It is when an individual “de-constructs”, that means tears down all the Christian foundations and values they once embraced . As if that is not enough, they then start a de-evangelism campaign where they go around trying to persuade all of us that the Gospel of our salvation is, in fact, a dangerous system aimed to destroy every bit of our lives if not something worse. Long back, I used to spend hours and hours on a certain website which platformed individuals who called themselves “ex Christians”; citizens who gave testimonies of how they were believers indeed, until this a...
