Taking a leaf from the Holy Bible,'What king would go for war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10000 could defeat the 20000 soldiers marching against him? Who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Such a person might complete only the foundation before running out of money,and then everyone would laugh at him because he was unable to finish the project he began.' In a country faced with myriads of monstrous and leviathan challenges, every step taken towards a better and improved nation,socio-political and economic stability and eventual happiness of her citizens,should be thoroughly considered and properly directed. Our leaders' visions seem to be vague and suffering from ambiguity. It has left them confused and at the same time forming a clog in the wheels of the nation's progress. Often times,'visionless' people ar...

In one of my recent articles,'Lucrative Kidnapping-A National Concern', I took an in-depth look at the trauma of kidnapping in Nigeria. The issue of kidnapping in this nation has refused to stop growing geometrically.It has found itself on the lips of every Nigerian with the gripping fear it brings. Recently,the concern has chronically sky-rocketed in the south-east zone. Most recently,it has shifted to Aba. Aba's case has become legendary, leaving the inhabitants of the city in fears. The fear of kidnappers has not just become endemic but epidemic in the busy city. Aba is a populous city located in Abia(God's Own State) in the south-eastern region of Nigeria. Popularly known as the 'Enyimba City' or 'Japan Of Africa', Aba is a commercial city housing people from the various tribes of the nation and expatriates.It's large market has made it the delight of buyers and sellers. People from neighbouring states usually come around for goods and services a...

In life, people face miscellaneous challenges and are often visited by serious problems, some of which they orchestrated and others coming without invitation. In each case, plans are urgently made to solve the problems despite their knotty nature.Problems seem to be a part of life,as they constantly raise their ugly heads in the affairs of men, seeking undeserved attention. At the long run, these problems make or mar their host, depending on the way they were managed or handled. Just as parents bequeath possessions to their children,some problems are consciously or unconsciously transfered to the younger generation,who keep struggling with them,until they are eventually figured out and addressed. Evidently,many people are suffering due to what they know little or nothing about. I want to bring to our notice,one of such things. This one has the ability to affect and even destroy everyone born on planet earth. In the beginning, a problem was born and genetically transferred to everyone...

I recently came across a bible passage that gave an in-depth revelation of what any service to God should be. I thought it wise to share it with any one that is passionate about obeying and serving God. Unargueably, many notions and ideas about our services to God may not have been absolutely raw, but I wish that God will give us the understanding and ability to conform to the grabbed understanding. It could be bitter but a therapeutic truth. Its relevance lies in our ability to accept it intoto. By virtue of what Jesus Christ did on the Cross of Calvary, He became the Lord and Saviour of anyone that believed and had faith in what He did. This is true to those that have actually and completely yielded to His leadership, those that are born-again, whose sins have been confessed and forgiven. The Lordship of Jesus is not just a propaganda, it is real to those that believe. As Lord,He is to dictate all that is done in one's life. Every action, word, intent becomes the product of His...

Imagine a world without trees, sun,moon,animals including man and other invaluable things; a world that is just covered with water,darkness and under the eagle eye of the hovering God's Spirit. God would have decided to solely inhabit the earth,no one would have existed to ask why. Of his own volition,He thought it wise to incorporate other things that probably would make it better. Against the theory of evolution,God decided to put the things we are seeing and enjoying into place by His power-laden Word. He began with the light,continued with the firmament,earth,seas and plants. He advanced to the great lights(Sun and Moon),with the former to rule the day and the latter to rule the night. He created the sea creatures and other beasts of the earth. All these,God said,were just good after the creation of each of them. God,with His heavenly entourage set out for the mission of making man. With the help of the moral support of the heavenly Generals,God made man in His image and after ...

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us the assurance about things we cannot see. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen, as against the erroneous claims of Darwin's evolution theory. Faith is an important,indispensable ingredient in christianity. None of them can exist without the other. A critical look into other religions shows the dominance of the act of faith, starting from Islam, ATR(African Traditional Religion) or paganism to Buddhism. Faith serves as a link between the worshippers and the worshipped. A christian has faith in God,a muslim in Allah, a pagan in Amadioha, a Buddhist in Buddha(Gantama Siddhartha) and so on. Obviously, it is strange to say that you are a part of a religion without demonstrating common faith in the deity you are to worship. It can drive anyone into concluding anything based on your actions. >Every r...
