What We All Need! “God-adventure” with Jesus.

“God loved you: therefore, love and obey him: Christ died for you: therefore, die to sin: Christ is risen: therefore, rise in the image of God. Christ lives for evermore: Therefore, live to God till you live with Him in glory” – John Wesley. Jesus sees us as we are, not as we imagine or redefine ourselves. He knows our weak points. In the Gospel of John, we read about a discourse between Jesus and a Pharisee named Nicodemus (Jn 3:1-17). Jesus tells Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews and ruling council member, a spiritual truth that perplexes but is...

John Wesley provides a guide on voting as a Christian. He advised, “To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy. To speak no evil of the person, they voted against, and To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.” Voting for a new person to lead the country is a monumental moment, and even if it is not the candidate you voted for, it is important to pray to God for good and honest leadership. As Christians, we are called to pray for our leaders and...

He consulted it prayerfully for guidance. He preached the Word and judged all things by its teaching. In controversy, he stated his invariable rule. “Permit me to speak plainly. If by Catholic principles you mean any other than Scriptural, they weigh nothing with me. I allow no other rule, whether by faith or practice, than the Holy Scriptures.” He preached with a living sense...

Day 4 – LENT ALARM FOR SLEEPING SAINTS AND CHURCHES.

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord cometh; for it is nigh at hand – Joel 2:12,15). Joyce Pharo writes, ‘Lent is the clearing away of the cobwebs which our faith somehow manages to accumulate. It is a re-examination of our relationship with Jesus Christ and renewing our commitment to him.’ Every year, we are reminded to take missional action. We are called to “blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm in the holy mountain.” Why are...

Determining who leads a nation will also determine who advises the leader and how the people are guided (Pro 11:14). I welcome you to the 2023 ELECTION PRAYER-RAIN FOR NIGERIA. As we hurtle towards one of the most closely-contested and divisive Presidential elections in memory, our greatest need is unquestionably spiritual; hence, the Word of God commands us to pray for those in leadership, including those vying to become leaders. According to the House of Bishops of the Church of England, ‘the privileges of living in a democracy means that we should use our votes thoughtfully, prayerfully and with...
