Now!


When we compare the news report headlines all over the world, the prevalent picture shows a world that is spiralling out of control in everything that is inimical to the growth of any society. Comparing these headlines to the end-time prophecies of the Bible, we can safely conclude that God's game clock is running out: that it's way past halftime in our world! In fact, it could be that our world and our generation are hearing God's two-minute warning. When football players hear that warning, they throw caution to the wind, they make every second count and they do whatever it takes to get points on the score-board. Jesus Christ said, "We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the One who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.” (John 9:4 – NLT).  It seems to me that Team Jesus - all of us who claim to follow Him - should be doing no less! We should be moving beyond maintenance mode to taking new grounds for the Kingdom. We should be serving and giving like there may not be a lot more tomorrows. Friend, the time has come and is NOW to forget turf and forget territory! He is coming for His BODY not bodies. It is time to wage a united battle for the lost souls in our towns! Let's refuse to let our fears keep us any longer from telling that lost friend, neighbour or relation about our Jesus Christ. It is time to abandon the suspicions and tentativeness that are bred by uncertain times like these, and trade it in for selfless and bold actions that these times demand. This is no time to settle for being on the sidelines or in the stands, or hiding out in some holy huddle! Neither is it time to be heading for the locker rooms or sitting on the ball. This game is too big to forfeit, and it's too costly to lose. Remember, the enemy hungers to win but we must be hungrier to win! God bless you.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
