Missional Map to Eternal Life: Jesus Christ, the Good Samaritan.

Posted by | Jul 12, 2022 | |

True eternal life begins with a personal relationship and journey with Jesus Christ (Rom 6:23). A man or a woman created in God’s image for abundant life has a choice to make between the wages of sin, eternal death, and the gift of God, eternal life (Gen 2-3). The Gospel of John gives us a definition of Christ’s gift of eternal life: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (Jn 17:3). Sin is a barrier to eternal life hence, the need to accept Jesus’ forgiveness...

METHODISM, Nigeria Premier Church @180 and Autonomy @60: Indigenised to Decolonise (4).

Posted by | Jul 9, 2022 | , , , |

Indigenised to decolonise calls the people called Methodist to renewal and repentance as God’s instruments as we were in Wesley’s day. Failure to learn from John Wesley’s experience and his fear is to decline in his Movement and to miss missional essentials about his identity, leadership, spread, history, and theology. Through Wesley’s experience, we know that the true mission field is not abroad preaching to the “heathen.” In 1736, John and Charles, accompanied General Oglethorpe from England to Georgia to oversee the local church and fulfil their dream of witnessing their faith with Native Americans. The hope of reaching...

In an age when business/career families, homes and marriages are common and challenging, Sir Dr Yemi Sanya and Lady Prof Arinola Sanya provides us a model of a Christian home. A former President of United State of America, Abraham Lincoln rightly declared that ‘the strength of a nation is the home of its people.’ This statement about the importance of home resonates with the secret of the numerous testimonies and tributes said and written about Sir Dr Yemi Sanya’s legacies. Sir Dr Sanya first hung his heart to God, his and children in order to open his hands to...

ARISE AND PRAY FOR METHODIST CONFERENCE.

ARISE AND PRAY FOR METHODIST CONFERENCE.

Posted by | Jun 28, 2022 | |

Methodist Conference suggests a means of grace, accountability to God and to one another under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Just as the Conference for the early Methodists was about spiritual formation, encouraging people to serve and follow Jesus faithfully, let us pray that the delegates may be example of faithful disciples of Jesus Christ in our local churches.  One thing remains constant with Methodism, we never lack initiatives to advance the Church and efficiency for the gospel. In 2007, the initiative tagged ‘Mapping a Way Forward: Regrouping for Mission ‘challenged each and every Methodist circuit  and local...

SIR (DR) ‘YEMI SANYA: AN “UNFORGETTABLE KNIGHT,” GRASSROOTS METHODIST CHRISTIAN SOLDIER.

This week, we celebrate and commend Sir (Dr) Adeyemi Olufunmilayo Sanya to God’s arm of mercy, the joy of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light through Jesus Christ our Lord. Writing this tribute to my dear father and mentor is one of the most difficult task ever in recent time. To write and refer to Sir (Dr) Sanya, a Knight of John Wesley (KJW), in the past is so difficult for me and many others. Sir (Dr) Sanya in no doubt was one of the very silent Nigeria foremost entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and grassroots...
