PARABLE OF ‘THE UNJUST STEWARD’: MISSION ON SALE, BANE OF CHURCH DECLINE.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Sep 27, 2025 | Missions and Evangelism |

The foremost God’s stewards, who became an unjust steward, were Lucifer. Lucifer became an unjust steward, blinded by his own freedom, strength and excellence. He chose to revolt against God, took honour and the mission that belongs to God. Lucifer lost his stewardship and, in his pride and hatred, continued to influence unjust servants to perdition and the decline of the church. Jesus’ parable of the unjust steward, beyond its representation of Lucifer, points to any unfaithful steward in God’s creation, such as unfaithful churchmen, kings, politicians, fathers of families, and so on (Lk 16:1-13). The ‘creative mission’ of...

The CHAMS story at 40 is an impactful part of Nigeria’s technological development and history. Writing about CHAMS at 40 is, first and foremost, to celebrate a visionary and trailblazer, Sir Ademola Benjamin Aladekomo (ABA).

Sir Aladekomo’s unwavering...

No Circuit ever did, nor ever will, flourish unless there are bands in the larger societies – John Wesley, April 1788. Today, September 24, 2025, marks the 183rd anniversary of modern Christianity and Methodism in Nigeria. The 183rd anniversary presents a mission opportunity to reflect on Methodism and the parable of the lost pieces of the band, as well as class meetings, as means of grace, renewal, and revival in World Christianity. Jesus’ parables of the lost sheep and the lost coins as earthly stories with heavenly meaning resonate with interest and concern to be found for the multitudes...

The Trinity of Parables: Compass of Salvation and Wholeness for a Lost Generation.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Sep 22, 2025 | Missions and Evangelism |

… Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discrimination, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very...
