Jesus is coming again. Fellow pilgrims, cheer up, lift the trumpets, and let it ring. To gather in the last harvest by offering Jesus Christ to people globally and locally, the state of the modern Church and the ruin of Christianity calls for a global revival of holiness. To have an impact not just upon people in churches but also upon nations requires divine energy. Sadly, the world is increasingly growing in the Church.

‘MR METHODIST,’ SIR FAMILUSI, MODEL OF A LAY METHODIST MISSIOLOGIST: BEYOND CLERGY-LAITY GAP.

Posted by | Oct 11, 2024 | , |

History is vital to missiology, which is a reflection on the task of mission.[1] History teaches us that what is cultural and what is biblically required often get confused, just as missiology warns us, for example, against confusing a particular model of worship, leadership, music, dress, etc., as inextricable from the gospel. History has taught us that while human nature in the aggregate never changes, individuals indwelt by the Holy Spirit can live differently. Such individuals who lived differently were filled and used with the fuel of truth to burn for God, as was Sir Michael M. Familusi (1923-2024). It is...

“Mother Adebusuyi” of Osu: A Good Wife under Divine Stewardship.

Motherhood is an honour and mercy, just as it was in Mary, who gave birth to the Messiah (Gal. 4:4). Just as a child cannot pay for its mother’s milk, the peaceful transition of our Mother, Chief Mrs Christianah Mosunmola Taiwo Adebusuyi on 23rd August, 2024 at Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria offers us opportunities to celebrate the joy and dignity of Motherhood. Mother Adebusuyi of Osu did not give birth to the Messiah but gave birth biologically to men and women of honour and virtue. She nurtured and touched many lives and homes by adoption, including the writer. Only...

Methodist Distinctive Doctrines, Practices, and Theology: Beyond having a form of religion.

Posted by | Sep 24, 2024 | |

I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America; but I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power. And this undoubtedly will be the case unless they hold fast both the doctrine, spirit, and discipline with which they first set out – John Wesley Introduction: The testimony of John Wesley, father of Methodism provides a good introduction to Methodist distinctive salvific doctrines, practices, and theology. Born in 1703 to Samuel and Susannah Wesley, John was an honour...
