Brethren, Pray for Nigeria

Flag of Nigeria Since the beginning of the year, I have followed the schedule for praying for the nations of the earth as published by Operation World. Today, I get to pray for my own country, Nigeria. Nigeria is a special and strategic country in Africa. This is not an attempt at nationalistic pride; it … Continue reading Brethren, Pray for Nigeria

Breaking News, Global News

The gospel is breaking news. It is a message of an unfolding reality that grips us by the collar of our hearts and demands we pay attention. It compels our attention because its content affects our destiny; its theme goes right to the foundation of our existence and asks us to decide for life or for death.

Christ, the Power and Wisdom of God

The Christian world seems to be split into two broad camps. On the one hand are those who have cultivated the study of theology over centuries, exploring the profound disclosure of God and his relation to us which is given in the scriptures; and on the other are various groups and communities which desire, celebrate … Continue reading Christ, the Power and Wisdom of God

Give your best daily

What is a virus beside a mother's love? What is fear when she is around? Her touch is a message of hope, Her smile … Continue reading A Treasure unmatched

Loving Lagos

Gender Equality: A Christian Reflection

At the foundation of reality is a God who is neither male nor female (John 4:24). Thus gender is not ultimate; God is. My supreme thought and concern every day should be how to know, love and please this God (Deuteronomy 6:5; 10:12; Psalm 31:23; Matthew 22:37). A society which displaces this God from modern … Continue reading Gender Equality: A Christian Reflection
