Good people die everyday. Yet not all of them affirm for us the goodness in humanity and leadership the way Chief Ezekiel Adetunji Adebusuyi did. Chief Adebusuyi whom my grandmother introduced to me as ‘Ola Iya,’ was an indisputable passionate Osu community leader.

Chief Adebusuyi in his mentorship capacity, leadership was...

“Get behind me, Satan”: Rebuke and Warning to Easy Way Christians and Churches.

Bible tells us John 10 that we have an enemy (Satan) and he “comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (v.10). Satan wants to steal our joy, kill the good thing God is doing in us, and ultimately destroy us. Satan’s means of action is to confuse our identity. Satan, the principal adversary of God is the author of confusion but people are the distributors of it even in the church. Satan was the one who had previously tried to get Jesus to take easy way, and today, Satan is roaring more in the church than any other...

A prince, a member of a monarch’s or former monarch’s family is a male ruler ranked below a king. Prince Sanda Ayoade Ladigbolu from Agunloye ruling house in Oyo is a direct grandson of Oba Siyanbola Onikepe Ladigbolu 1. It is on record that ‘in 1938 Oba Siyanbola Onikepe, the eldest son of Oba Lawaru Amubieya, had reigned for twenty eight years (1911- 1938) when his son and one of the apples in the Oba’s eyes, Prince (Alhaji) Akee Obayanrintan Apewo Ladigbolu and Aya Omoba Aderonke got their baby boy, the grandson for the Oba, Prince Sanda Ayoade Ladigbolu.’...

True definition of Jesus: Between the Spirit-ruled and Sense-ruled definitions; for Growth or Decline.

Beyond the popular culture and its definition of Jesus and Christianity, a true definition of Jesus provides opportunity to be a true Christian, moving from knowing about Jesus to knowing, obeying, and following Him personally. How we answer Jesus’ question, the central question of life, “Who do you say that I am? defines our lives, churches, nations, now and forever. The Bible says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the death, you will be saved” (Rom 10:9). There is a core principle that set Christianity apart...
