“Is Anything Choking Your Faith?”

Askew Road Church By Revd. Justice Elizabeth Osinuga “On the third day Abraham saw the place in the distance.”Then he said to the servants, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there and worship, and then we will come back to you” – Gen 22:4-5 People travel by different means, i.e. by Air, Rail, Road or Sea. The basic fact about the travellers especially on public Vessels is that hardly do the travellers know the pilot or driver, or captain of the vessel. And, it never comes to the mind of any traveller to...

A LEGENDARY EDITOR: PRINCE ‘DELE OSUNDAHUNSI, 10 YEARS AFTER.

On October 1, 1993, my tenure as acting Editor in Methodist Church Nigeria began; on August 1, 2000, it ended. As I reflect on the 7 years, they have been filled with testimonies, memories, and encounters with different personalities and leaders. One of the memorable personalities I worked closely with of which I have chosen to share in this tribute is Prince Bamidele Olumuyiwa Osundahunsi. I am very grateful to God for the opportunity and honour to serve as the Conference Editor, Methodist Church Nigeria. It allowed me, under the oversight of a team of spiritual fathers, professional editors,...

SIR REMI OMOTOSO: METHODIST EVANGELIST AND KNIGHT IN NIGERIA’S CORPORATE BOARDROOM.

Many of the early Methodist preachers, both itinerant and local, were also gifted evangelists, philanthropists, educators and organisers. Methodism in essence is the company of believers who were and are being added to Jesus’ disciple-band, through the original labours of two brothers, and the help of many others, both in their own and succeeding generations.

The emergence of Methodism as a missionary...

Martyn Atkins, a Beatitude Leader @ 65: 4 Decades of Active Ministry and Christian Marriage.

Faithfully ministering, teaching, leading consistently for 40 years, and marriage for 40 years and still counting are some of the amazing legacies of Rev Dr Martyn Atkins. Apostle Paul’s admonition to Timothy in his first letter best describe Martyn’s life and ministry (4:12-13). Paul admonishes Timothy to be an example, offering oneself as ‘an impression that is used as a mould to shape someone or something else.’  Martyn’s ‘everyday speech, everyday life, through a selfless love – expecting nothing in return, through a trustworthiness in God, and through a pure life’ suggests ‘a mould that should be pressed into...
