The Man of God Must Be Different But Not DIFFERENT!

Nothing is famous in the Church today as the phrase “man of God”. My Bible uses this term a few times to describe a man who has been chosen by the Lord for a specific task; somebody handpicked and enabled by divine power to lead others to Christ, most particularly through the preaching of the word. Having said that, today I only have two serious concerns about this man called a “man of God.” I pray the Lord may give you grace to hear them. The first thing that gives my soul sleepless nights about the man of God is that he has been elevated too much, especially in this Black Land of ours. He is viewed as a DIFFERENT individual who is almost like a god or something. The so-called “men of God” of our time have an unhealthy view about their self-impotence until they have so projected their images into untouchables who can neither be corrected nor criticized. These pitiful souls – Lord have mercy – claim to have a special anointing that sets them far apart from other believers, such that Go

Drinking From Different Wells

Okay (smile), I am going to teach you a good habit for your Christian growth. That is, if you are willing to really grow. Believe it or not, there is actually a weird bunch of “believers” who are neither concerned about growth nor interested in learning. Regardless, if you are like me, you are a student of this Christian Faith, who is always open to learning. The primal and only teacher in this Christian life is none other than the Spirit of Christ Himself. This is what Apostle John describes as “the Anointing that we all have from the Holy One that teaches us all things.” And the first avenue that He uses to teach is His own written Word; the Bible.  “Sanctify them by the Word, your Word is truth”, were the words of our Lord to His disciples. It means when we open the pages of Scripture, the Spirit of Christ is there to illuminate our minds so we can understand deep things about our Saviour and how He applies to our lives . The second means by which we are taught by the Anointing is t

Locating the Right Lady for Marriage

I was listening to a local radio station and the topic was about the modern generation of men who are no longer interested in being married. In some sense, I can resonate with that because I remember the frustration I had when I was ready for marriage; there was no one among all the church ladies who was woman enough to deserve my hand of marriage. Why is this so, why does it seem like it is becoming harder for church boys to find suitable partners? Now as a disclaimer, this is a Believers-only discussion, we have no business with what worldly people do in the lust of their flesh. Nonetheless, suppose you were hunting for that dream girl, what characters would you look for? Let’s dig in… Salvation I am sorry, but this is non-negotiable. You can’t and you will not build any sustainable Christian home with an unbeliever. A goat will always be a goat and will by no means cooperate with sheep. As I hinted a few articles ago that the greatest challenge in the church today is that a great ma

Gospel-lizing Social Media; Part ll

I can’t stress this point enough: God's primal means of saving and sanctifying souls is the local church. Which is a body of the Redeemed in an area who regularly gather for corporate worship. The overflow of that is the Gospel going out to the rest of the community, to the world at large; in any way possible, in this instance, media technology. Our first past of this topic was all about the negative impact that social media has had on believers and the Christian message in particular. Today, however, we are going to look at how the Lord has blessed us with these good technological tools so as to glorify Him and advance His cause. Allow me to remind you that according to some Google data, there are 5.19 million internet users today. That includes a staggering 2,9 million humans on Facebook and 2,7 million citizens on Youtube. That, at least in my mind, presents to us a vast opportunity to engage all those souls, with the knowledge of our great Saviour – simultaneously and from the
