THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: BRIDGING GENERATIONAL GAP.

I just returned from our GoodNews Children Club outreach to Moumou village, République du Bénin.  This particular outreach is targeted at reaching out to the children in the particular rural settler of Benin République. Sincerely, our focus and preparation were towards the teeming children populace in this village. But it turned out that adults equally attended and took active part in almost all the activities of the 2 Day program.  Ultimately, our aim is to lead these children to Christ. Surprisingly, the adult took over the stage as they rushed out to surrendered themselves to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.  How can we explain to these adults that we have come with exclusive program for the children when in truth, God has equally prepared the hearts of these men and women to receive the words of life.  The truth is this, whether a program is designed exclusively for men, women, aged, adult or children once it is the gospel of Christ it remains the power of God unto ...

THE CHURCH IN A CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY (6)

The sin of fornication, adultery seems to have been mastered and conquered by majority of heaven minded  Christian. But unfortunately, devil being a deceiver and father of all lies has designed a subtle way that Christians' love and unity among each other is done with suspicion and relative understanding and love.  Devil's...

THE LORD FORBID... (1 Kings 21.1-4)

While travelling most times in public transport, I listened and heard a lot of things and issues been discussed by busybodies. Some of these genuine public and private issues centered on compromise and betrayal. I have heard a lot about Christians wives cheating on their husbands and vice versa. Discussions on parenting and laxity of Christian parents and indeed compromise and bribe by Christians at workplace using money and other means to sustain and gain positions. Most times, I feel sorry about these, which I know were truth.  Ahab the king has his eyes on Naboth's vineyard that was behind his house. He intended it for a vegetable garden. He approached Naboth for this with two options:  1. To sell it for him at Naboth's named price 2. Get another precious vineyard from the king.  But Naboth humbly responded: THE LORD FORBID THAT I SHOULD GIVE YOU THE INHERITANCE OF MY FATHERS.  Naboth refusal put Ahab in disgrace such that he went home vexed and sullen. Yet, Ahab ...
