DON’T FART IN THAT CHURCH


Some of us are far from knowing what a church is. Well, I don’t know what to call your local assembly. May be at best we can say it’s a social gathering, as someone rightly said “after Facebook it’s church”. And when you speak in this manner here, beware they will scourge you in their synagogue.
Some time ago a young boy ate cocoyam and said it was yam. That’s what we have made out of the church. It’s badly twisted that we have completely lost it flavor and definition in every sense. Simplicity, beauty, power, fellowship is out of it. It has been hijacked and sincere seekers cries out ‘they have taken my Lord and I know not where they laid Him. Ardent lovers of our Lord, religious fanatic or extremist as they choose to call them, still seek and yell at the top of their voices to restore sanity to our father’s house.
What do we have left for our children? How can the bride of Christ be so flamboyantly adorn till she has lost her identity, and men are force to believe what we see today is that church for which Christ gave his life? Indeed, he gave his life, but not to corrupt but to purge it. It is unacceptable that the church whose decay has been rooted should come shot of grace and make occasion for sinful indulgence and frivolities. The light we lack today in our society is it not because the church has been put under? Its true there are faithful men at their little corners who wrestles day and night that our generation come again to know that church for which the blood of the savior was shed.
Recently I had worship in a church in a remote village; and soon enough I realized what our generation of churched people are missing – the glorified savior and Lord. I began to pour my heart, as it bleeds to the Lord: “please forgive us and our fathers for what we have done to the crucified Christ and how we have desecrated your temple. Please don’t let men fart in this church as they did in others for which we are dying of suffocation”.

LIVING A HAPPY LIFE AGAIN

LIVING A HAPPY LIFE AGAIN      17   If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.  [John 13:17 KJV] Before we look into issue of happiness in life, there’s a question to consider. It is, why do you want to be happy in life? Or let’s say do you need happiness? The answer is always in affirmation. Not everyone really needs happiness as their actions suggest. People profess they need happiness, but they do things that are in contrary. Happiness is not something the world can offer you, you have to get it yourself. We erroneously think that happiness comes with acquisition of material things, getting more friend, taking a new job and the rest. Living a happy life is something some people find difficult to achieve. They try to manipulate it. WHAT ABOUT FRIENDSHIP? Does friendship bring true happiness? The answer is left to the individual. True friendship is fast fading away from our society. I was in a bus on a particular day – a public one anyway. I was the last p

FROM THE ISLAND OF PATMOS

A LETTER FROM THE ISLAND OF PATMOS To my dearly beloved brothers round the world .The coming of Lord as we have thought seem to tarry, He himself before the very eyes of those who saw him ascend spoke of coming soon  - Those words did comfort there heart that in no time they will be with him. Today, these words of our lord has gradually fade away –not holding much than mere words [to the perishing].  I write to you brothers noting how much you must have suffered in the flesh even as our very own brother who labour for the lord had suffered preferring death. I thought I could be of some comfort to you writing unto you, but not as much as the very departing words of the master when he said I am with you always even to the end of the age. I commend the grace of God in you and how much of help you have been to the saints, seeing that though you have little, yet have use of that given you, diligent in the vineyard labouring among the saints in reaching to the heathen.  I urg

DO YOU STILL HAVE A NEIGHBOUR?

Why was the law given, is it worth our time to  consider what the Bible teaches, is the bible still relevant for this age, what is life like  in Africa, America, Europe, and Asia? What line of best fit can describe the daily human behaviour in these continents? Is there still a need for man to review his life, and listen to his conscience or should we be at the mercy of the technological pace of the age? We will ever remain grateful to all who had contributed to the advancement of the human race. We understand the times and bless providence for it. But just few miles from the dawn of the century, man seem not to understand were the planet is heading. For maturity, some maintain an unrealistic silence burdened under the aberrant. On the tail of the coin is the majority that won’t keep calm. They are responsible for the noise rage in the planet. Things are happening too fast beyond their grasp. You could sense the howling frustration in their head. The point of Eldorado is projected
