IT IS POSSIBLE.

-

 Enoch walked with God in the days of Noah. It was not favourable then. 


Shiprah and Puah, the two midwives of the Israelites refused to be part of the genocide planned by an Egyptian Pharaoh, against male children of Israel.


Obadiah, the overseer of the household of the evil King Ahab remained a devoted servant of God. 

He is credited for hiding 100 prophets of God from Ahab's wife, the wicked Queen Jezebel, in a cave and bringing them food and drink. He also served as Ahab's emissary to the prophet Elijah.


Joseph, the son of Jacob and Rachel refused the cheap offer of Potiphar's wife. He chose to please God against enjoying temporary pleasure of sin.


Mordecai withstood the intimidation and persecution of Haman and was handsomely rewarded.


Esther, Mordecai's cousin and the daughter of his Uncle Abihail,  humbled herself and became an instrument for the deliverance of the Jews at the risk of destruction.


Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, preferred to die instead of displeasing their God in a strange land.


Brethren in the church in Pergamum were neighbors to Satan and the remained true to God's name.


You can also live to please God wherever you are in the society, in the present world.


God's grace is very much available to quicken and teach us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.


It is possible.

'...Pray Or Die!'

-
We are constantly faced with challenges that have pushed us to the wall. The challenges are mere products of life. They present themselves even when the are unwanted. Such challenges had made many people to take drastic decisions that either brought peace to them or aggravated the present situation. Challenges are obviously not accepted by anyone but has a way of coming around. Believe you me! Challenges cannot be avoided-for sure. The question one needs to ask is. How can I be free from these challenges? In the Holy Bible (Matthew 26:36-47) lies an interesting story. Before this incident of the passage,Jesus clearly predicted His imminent betrayal,death and resurrection. He had envisaged the events and predicaments that would befall him. He had the foreknowledge of all that would be coming His way in a short while. At a time,He decided to visit Gethsemane with some of His top disciples for the sole aim of praying. Obviously, Peter,James,and John,who went with Him were respected m

Co-habitation

-
A recent programme of Vision Africa Radio(104.1fm,Umuahia) focused on 'Co-habitation.' They tried discussing the reasons why people,especially young people co-habit,the benefits if any and the dangers of co-habitation.It is no longer strange to see in our society,men and women(neither blood-related nor legally married)living together under the same roof as in a legitimate marriage.Obviously,topics like this one are rarely discussed in programmes on television or over the radio stations,rather these stations usually hold programmes that seek to find and pair up boys and girls and could lead to co-habitation. Co-habitation is an act of living together(usually of a man and woman) and having sexual relationship without being married unlike marriage which is a formal union of a man and woman,typically as recognised by law ,by which they become husband and wife. As a person that has been living in a university environment for over five years,I can boldly attest to the the fact that

Nigerian Elections - When Sycophancy Pays

-
Elections are at the corner with party campaigns heating up, politicians are making their interests known to the public. Carefully concocted manifestos are being paraded, INEC compiling the names of party representatives and support sought from individuals and people groups. The great wind of elections is sweeping across the country and many become victims of assassinations and kidnaps, others end up mishaving due to much excitement. With the good, the bad and the ugly poised to lock horns in the April polls, the electorates are left with much work to do in the voting process. Politics in Nigeria has been regarded by people as the quickest and easiest way to get rich and amass wealth for themselves and unborn generations, at the expense of other legitimate citizens. This poor mentality has even been bequeathed to the younger generation, who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow, the future of Nigeria, our hope of escaping possible extinction of our nascent democracy and the hop
