When I was doing my undergraduate degree, one of my mentors, Pst Laju Iren, used to say, "it is good to work for God; it is better to walk with God but it's best to work with and for God". Much more than our service to Him, God seeks a relationship with us. It's not as though He doesn't want us to serve Him... At least, He told Pharaoh to let Israel go in order that they would serve Him (Exo. 8:1). But we see that these same people who were released to serve God kept honoring God with their lips whereas their hearts were far away from Him (Is. 29:13). You may then ask, what exactly did God really want from them? A RELATIONSHIP. The same thing He wants from us today.

Recently, I was listening to Evangelist Joyce Meyer. She began to talk about the passage in the Bible where Jesus cursed the fig tree and how she felt bad for the fig tree before she understood the passage properly :) Well, what caught my attention in that passage (Mark 11:12-14) was the fact that Jesus looked to see if He would find fruits on the tree.... In essence, if the tree was actually bearing fruits then it would be visible right? The tree could not bear fruits and store them in its trunk or stem, it would be visible for everyone to see. I began to think to myself, "how is it possible then that some believers claim to have/bear fruits but people around them cannot see the fruits?". How come we claim to have the Holy Spirit in us and produce His fruits but our lifestyles don't show it. I have seen many believers who claim to have the Holy Spirit but their language isn't different from that of the unbeliever.. For some, it is that they are always anxious and ma...

Hello! It's soooo good to have you here once again... Today, I would like you to take some time to just meditate on the above scripture. I used the Amplified version because it amplified the scripture very well ;) So, take out some time; think, ponder, mutter, say the scripture out loud, read it in other translations, ask questions, get answers... That's how to meditate. You can even go further to read the verses before and after this one for better understanding if the context of the scripture. In case you haven't been doing this, trust me, you'll be glad you did. There are some depths of revelation in God's word that you will never get except you meditate. Josh. 1:8 gives us this instruction. Gods word brings light. What "light" (revelation, insight) have you gotten from this scripture? How can you apply it to your situation? I await your response.

I love supporting avenues to impact the lives of others and platforms which also give people the opportunity to make an impact! So, here's introducing one of such opportunities... C.I.T.Y!!! C.I.T.Y is an acronym for Catch and Inspire Them Young ; it is a leadership program for teenagers powered by the Eagles HOPE Foundation (H.O.P.E) . Over the last 4 years through the C.I.T.Y program, H.O.P.E has engaged over 1,300 volunteers and a good number of corporate partners to reach over 7,500 Leaders (teenagers) across Nigeria at no cost to the teenagers.  In 2015, the C.I.T.Y Summer Leadership School hosted over 450 teenagers in four locations across Nigeria; Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, and Ota (Ogun State), engaging over 250 volunteers. The camps were running simultaneously in all four locations and were non-residential.

Hi there! It's great to have you here once again. Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on an issue that applies to every human being; an issue that is taken lightly by some and highly esteemed by a few. The Cambridge dictionary defines the word 'isolation' as , "the condition of being alone, especially when it makes you unhappy; the fact that something is separate and not connected to other things". These definitions are in fact what I didn't expect to see. They are more vivid than I could have painted it.

So, this is one song I love so much... It's so powerful; makes you very conscious of God's presence with us. Here as in heaven by Elevation Worship The atmosphere is changing now For the Spirit of the Lord The evidence is all around For the Spirit of the Lord is here Overflow in this place Fill our hearts with Your love Your love surrounds us You're the reason we came, to encounter Your love Your love surrounds us

"I surrender all to you...Everything I give to you Withholding nothing, withholding nothing." (William McDowell) Some time ago, we sang this song at church, and as I meditated on the words of the song, I asked myself, "why did the composer have to include that last line of the chorus? It just seemed like an emphasis on what had already been said in the first two lines". Just then the Holy Spirit explained it to me. I remembered one of the ways through which children are taught arithmetics. It involves using the fingers for the numbers 1-10 and a fist for zero. So, when the teachers demonstrate "1-1" for instance, the result would be a fist and then they would open it up to show the children there was nothing in the fist. Then it began to dawn on me.
