The number of people going to church has increased greatly and it will continue to increase. While you will also agree with me that there are numerous churches these days than we had 10-15 years ago. But unfortunately, we have people going to church and not going to heaven. We have succeeded in raising church goers and not heaven goers. Three years ago I came across this scripture, Matthew 7:21-23 in the message translation and ever since I saw it in my diary this year, it has been on my mind to share it with you. It reads, "Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance—isn’t going to get you anywhere with me (Christ). What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills..." emphasis mine. Countless times we've heard obedience preached and discussed and it seems the more we hear, the less w...

While discussing with a friend late last year, I was told of the prophecy concerning the nation’s economy. Interestingly what was prophesied (economic meltdown), is already coming to pass. Just two months and it seems everything has crumbled. The nation’s economy has been on a fast decline and even the foetus in the womb could feel it. What of deaths? You will agree with me that many lives were lost these two months that makes one ponder on the brevity of life.  All these are not new to humanity. It has happened before and there were some individuals that were not affected by the economic situation. There was economic meltdown in the days of Abraham, yet he was the richest, he wasn't affected. It happened in the days of Isaac, yet he was exempted, he rather became wealthier to the extent that the people of the country began to envy him. It happened in the days of Jacob, yet Jacob had enough money to buy food in Egypt while others are exchanging lands and lives for food.  ...

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...

Since there is no universally accepted definition of time, many have tried to define time their own way. Either you know how to define time or not, the fact still remains that you are bound by time. Every human being, both Rich and Poor have the same time available to them but how effective you manage it determines how successful you'll be. Time defines life.
