A New Nigerian

As we celebrate our democracy today, with high hopes of a better Nigeria, I will like to shift our focus a little from those in authority to us that are being governed. We as followers should take up our responsibility. We should do what's right. Do it because it's right, then Do it right. We should have a change of attitude and ensure that we ourselves are agents of change and transformation anywhere we found ourselves. We must be willing to obey authorities and laid down laws and ordinances. We should pay our tax and bills as at when due. We should love ourselves regardless of tribe and ethnicity. If you love me you won't cheat or dupe me, you won't want to steal from me. We should embrace peace for nothing can be built in the time of war. Also, don't let us bad mouth and speak speak evil of our leaders. Give honour to them, reverence them regardless of whom they are because every authority is constituted by God and speaking against them is speaking against God. Let's be correct citizens. And finally, lets pray for those in authority. Our prayer alter is our control room. It's a place where we can determine what we want them to do according to the will of God. As for me I choose to be an Agent of Change and Transformation, I choose to be a blessing to Nigeria, I choose to work towards seeing a better Nigeria that I and my children and their children will be proud of. I therefore pledge to Nigeria my country to be faithful loyal and true, to serve Nigeria with all my heart, to defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory. So help me God.
I am the new Nigeria.

Favour Demystified

W elcome to another Wednesday’s insight series.  I believe you are set to get another insight today so, let’s dive in. Dictionary defines favour as an act of kindness done or granted out of goodwill. It is also to show preferential treatment to someone. Favour is derived from the same root word as Grace, CHARIS. And this makes favour to be as powerful as grace. But while grace is totally unmerited and unearned, favour can be deserved, gained and entreated. There are two dimensions of favour; favour with God and favour with man. The greatest dimension is to be in favour with God because when you have that, favour with man comes cheaply.  You don’t beg for man’s favour when you are in favour with God, God himself will cause men to favour you-He will cause you to find favour with people regardless of how high and mighty they are.  Another truth about favour is that it does not have prejudice for colour, race, gender or location. You’re a candidate for favour as long...

GETTING IT RIGHT Pt 3; Just before you Jump

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...

You and your Weakness

S o many times I have had interactions with people on particular negative habits they exhibited and more often than none their responses has always been, 'that's just my weakness'. Therefore I attempted to learn more about weakness and thus I'm sharing with you my discoveries about weaknessess. First,  a weakness is a crack in your wall.
