The Prodigal Mother: Love without vacation and praying back the lost child.

The Gospel reading for the fourth Sunday in Lent is recognised by many as Jesus’ best parable and the greatest story ever told. This story is about our relationship with God and with one another. The Gospel and business of God is redemption of souls especially through the healing of homes and marriage. As we celebrate the importance of mothers today, the reflection is that they have a great responsibility towards the redemption of the family, the church, and the nation. Jesus’ story is about family – the children, the father though nothing was said about the mother. My...

TESTIMONIES – Train and Bus Evangelism

It was a very inspiring encounter today. While on the train, one man left his seat to sit beside me and he started the conversation I know you. Can l ask you a question? Without waiting for my response, he continue! What do you know about the law of karma and reincarnation? That is what we need today. Deji- The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ invalidate the principle of cause and effect in relation to a person and the future of that person.

LENT SPECIAL OFFER – Repentance

Do you not realise that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgement will be revealed (Romans 2:4-5). God’s best, top, and free offer for the LENT is REPENTANCE. Other offers could expire and could be for a limited time. God’s offer never end. Jesus’ declaration of the need for Israel to repent of their sins resonates with our need and special offer in the midst of the increasing seductions of today’s culture. The truth...

The ‘Sin’ of (the barren Fig Tree) – the Church and Leadership: Bear fruit or die!

“Great and long suffering is the patience of God, but yet he eventually executes judgement.” In such a time of global political divisions and turmoils, the gospel text for the third Sunday in Lent points us to a troubling political report informing Jesus that Pilate has killed a group of Galileans.

They should worry less about the sins of others and more about their own need for confession. Unless they repent, they will all perish.’ The...

NIGERIAN ELECTIONS @ 60: Friendly Enemies Within and Without!

The Federal elections ever held in Nigeria in 1959, exactly 60 years ago was to prepare Nigeria for independence. The sad news was that, the 1959 elections ‘supervised by the departing British colonial administration under Governor James Robertson,’ was a deviation of the colonial leaders as moral agent from moral and spiritual laws. These widened the gaps, the divisions between the ethnic groups, and between the rich and the poor in Nigeria. The widened gaps between the regions, the rich and the poor shaped by a deviation and corruption as the ‘vestige of a colonial legacy,’ increasingly became the...
