A child is a young human being who IS NOT an adult. A child is also a person who is STRONGLY INFLUENCED by the ideas and attitudes of a particular time or person. It may interest you to know that we were all made to become 'children' and not just children but children of our Father. One becomes what he/she is not. For instance,a student becomes a graduate after going to school,an illiterate person becomes literate after being under a professional's tutelage. For a better vista of this,it will be good to know that for an illiterate person to become literate,there was a sort of transformation brought about by a higher external force. The transformation on it own cannot take place without the presence of the one to be transformed,it requires the person's availability and consent. Though we are adults by age,there is the need for the positive transformation that will give birth to 'children' with child-like minds and hearts. Jesus in His speech made a captivating bu...

The Power Holding Company of Nigeria(abbreviated PHCN),formerly the National Electric Power Authority(abbreviated NEPA)is an organisation governing the use of electricity in Nigeria.The company runs a football team,Nepa Lagos.The merger of the Niger Dam Authorities(NDA-setup in 1962 to develop the economic potentials of the Niger River)and Electricity Cooperation(ECN-created by the government in 1950 to generate and transmit power nationally)culminated to the National Electric Power Authority(NEPA-which is an agency established as a semiautonomous government activity).As part of its mandate,the NDA had constructed the Kainji Dam and associated hydroelectric plant,which began operations in 1968.NEPA changed its nomenclature to PHCN.For several years despite consistent perceived cash investment by the Federal Government,power outages have been the standard for the Nigerian populace,and are now see as normal by the citizens of the country.The government divided the current PHCN distribu...

Now let's say that one in ten people are genuine born-again Believers. We are clearly told in Matthew 7:14 that few people ever make it to heaven! 'Because strait is the gate,and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life,and few there be that find it'(Matthew 7:14;Luke 13:23,24). Also,Luke 12:7 tells us,-'But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered..'If I had just a dime every time I heard someone say ,'Gee,life is so short',I'd be a multi-millionaire,and I'm sure you would too. Additionally,did you know the average(adult 18yrs and older) heart beats 72times a minute? That comes to 4320times an hour! or 103,680times per day!! It's very sobering when you think about it. Every 24hrs,your heart beats 103,680times!! What we do not know,however,is which of those 103,680 heartbeats will be our last!! How tragic! How horrible! Honestly,I would be very surprised if more than one out of every hundred people are truly saved and on their way to h...

My Friends,let me ask you all a question. What if your doctor told you that you only had 6months to live? How would you spend those last 6months of your life here on earth? When I ask most people this question when witnessing to them,the majority of them tell me,'well,I'd spend those last 6months getting my personal things in order. Then I'd want to do things I've always wanted to do like sky dive,climb a mountain,travel and spend time with my wife and kids.' Now...I follow that question up with another question,only this time,I ask,'what if you knew,positively,absolutely-for sure-that you would die in just one day-twenty four hours from now? How would you spend those last 24hours of your life here on earth. The same people,then tell me,'Gee,I'd spend those last 24hours contacting friends,family members,even the ones I've estranged from,and other loved ones I may have hurt in the past,or who may have hurt me,just to tell them I love them. And I'd...

Cornelius simply means Sun-Beam. His story can be found in the Holy Bible,precisely in the tenth chapter of the book of 'Acts of the Apostles'.He was a captain of Italian Regiment(cohort or regiment of about 555 infantry and 66 cavalry).He was the captain of 100men in the Roman army.He and his house were the first gentiles to hear the gospel since pentecost. Until then,it didn't occur to the church that anyone could be saved unless he was circumcised and kept the law of moses. This fallacy would have continued if God had not intervened and convinced Peter and through him all other apostles. He was a devout man who venerated God and trusted Him with reverential obedience. He was well spoken of by the whole jewish nation,just,upright,had right standing with God. That was also the case with his household. He gave much alms to people and prayed regularly to God. It's quite interesting! Cornelius was a nice guy with a conglomeration of these qualities in his coffers. He was ...

Genetics teaches that the X-chromosome(representing the female) of the sperm cell outlives the Y-chromosome that represents the male.This shows that even in that small form,females are strong.I also learnt that all the mitochondria present in every human cell are solely donated by the woman(by the egg during the process of fertilization).Can you take that? Fortunately,the mitochondrion is the 'power house' of the cell,providing almost,if not all,the energy needed by the body for optimum performance.Women are wonderful.Though naturally weak per se,they're strong. Many things about them make them unique and indispensable on earth.Far back in the garden of Eden,God made her from man.The man was carrying the male and female qualities within before the surgery that brought the woman out.It will be wrong to think that the men and women are similar.They are more in number,accounting for about 52% of the world's population even though Nigeria's record is different. There a...

The engagement ring has been known by many different names,have symbolised a variety of different things and have not always been made of precious metals and stunning gems. The ancient Greeks are thought to have been the forerunners in the using of the traditional engagement ring. Given as a token of care and affection,the rings used by the greeks were known as betrothal rings and were given before marriage. However,the giving of these rings was not always a pre-requisite to marriage. As seen by their use of wedding ring,ancient Romans weren't the most sentimental of people and the early version of their 'engagement ring' were thought to be carved key on them. It has been debated that this could have been to symbolise the woman's right to access and own half of everything following marriage. The more sentimental like to think that the key may have been a key to her husband's heart. Engagement rings-stunning gems encased in precious metals-became popular in around th...

It is no longer a secret that there are many 'worship centres' in every nook and cranny of our society. Day by day,churches erupt in our streets and people troop in and out seeking solace and solution to their problems(most of which are spiritual). There is a vacuum in the hearts of people which they try to fill by having a devoted fellowship with a deity. Some worship lifeless objects which they believe can profer solution to their problems. Others worship trees,animals ,even heavenly bodies like the sun,moon,planets and stars. Some even worship themselves and things that are better referred to as insignificant and negligible. The choice of the deity worshipped is dependent on the trust,availability,supremacy,invincibility and special ability of the deity. Many claim to be worshipping God,the creator of heaven,earth and everything in the world but their approach is usually different,as they have some dogmatic beliefs that make them unique. In christianity,which is the religio...
