  • A Note to Ladies From Abishag.

    A Note to Ladies From Abishag.

    Screenshot_20200808-014118

    Image: Google

    Dear 21st century Sister,  to be candid there are hundreds of men out there that you could said yes to but you choose not. Why? Why Jide and not Dayo? Afterall both of them are choir members.

    When Abishag was asked in Songs of Solomon 5:9, ‘What makes the one (Solomon) you love better than another (what make him special or different from other men), most beautiful of women?What makes him better than another, that you would give us this charge (hype, praise)?

    Note: words in parentheses are mine.

    Ms. Abishag didn’t choose Solomon because of his wealth,  connections, handsomeness, oratory talents and any physical attributes

    Obviously, Solomon is not the the only king, most handsome, most powerful or most wise then (she knew Solomon before his kingship). Why then the hype and the adulation since her LOML is just another guy out there but she answered thus:

    • My love is fit and strong,
      notable among ten thousand that is that he is an honorable man. His MOG is Man of God and not Man of Gold or Man of Girls. He is fitted for ministry works and not strong for beating you.
    • His head is purest gold means he has Godly sense.
    •  His eyes are like doves
      beside streams of water,
      washed in milk: All metaphors signify purity. He doesn’t watch porn and be claiming he is preparing in advance. He doesn’t watch BBN overnight and login to social media to form holiness. He doesn’t look for breasts and boobs in church gathering. His gazes are pure like Job’s.
    • His cheeks are like beds of spice,
      towers of perfume. His lips are lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh… His mouth is sweetness means everything that comes out of her bae lips is graced words, motivating speech and godly posts. No profanities, exaggeration and lies were found in him or his social media handles. That is why he won’t verbally abused her.
    •  His arms are rods of gold
      set with topaz means Solomon uses his hand only for godly purposes. He regarded everything God has committed to his hands as precious, you inclusive. 
    • His legs are alabaster pillars
      set on pedestals of pure gold.
      His presence is like Lebanon,
      as majestic as the cedars that is his legs is always swift to go goodly places and his appearances always herald aroma of Christ. He isn’t someone who will join a church and 3 months after, he has impregnated 3 sisters because his steps are ordered in God’s word and his appearances bring joy.

    Ms. Abishag didn’t choose Solomon because of his wealth,  connections, handsomeness, oratory talents and any physical attributes but on his honorable lifestyle, purity, graceful speech and Holy-Spirit controlled life and I believe you will applied the same principle in choosing husband.

  • BBNaija is Evil! And So What?

    BBNaija is Evil! And So What?

    bbnImage from BBN Facebook page.

    Big Brother Naija, a reality TV show has attracted a lot of criticisms from Christians  due to it promotion of nudity, pornography, premarital sex among other unchristian practices, prompting some Christians to call for a counter-programs.

    Well, those brethren have a solid point but having a counter program is not the solution because BBN is not the problem, sin is.

    Furthermore, we are not in competition with the world; we are Light and they, darkness and Light doesn’t compete with darkness. Once Light arrives, darkness must vanishes. Competiting with them is fighting a spiritual war with carnal weapons so therefore we, Christians must carry our torchs to every area of human endeavours; be it science or media world.

    In addition to that, there are a lot of Christian programs, channels (DoveTV, New Frontier TV, DunamisTV, GodTV, etc), movies, music, websites (e.g Living word media by Pastor Chris Onayinka) blogs (e.g My Witness,), shows, social media handles, products (e.g Churchsource) and services out there. But how many of us watch those channels, shows and movies? How many of visit and comment on Christian blogs and websites?

    Let’s start watching, promoting and trending our  movies, actors, music and artistes, creative brothers and sisters and their works, visit and comment on Christian blogs and websites and promote our contents then I believe sponsorship will come.

    Lastly, Church should start sponsoring Christian contents too. Imagine what exploded impacts Mount Zion, EVOM, Calvary Drama Ministry, etc will have with sponsorers like Winners, RCCG, Nigerian Baptist Convention, etc as Christ Embassy is doing to Christian musicians.

  • My Parents’ marriage should inspire you.

    Caveat: My parents’ marriage is not a perfect one, if perfect marriage exists.

    My parents will be celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary comes 15th of July and this writeup is about 7 great lessons from their marriage which has inspired me and which should inspire you to desire a responsible marital relationship.

    My parents – Mr and Mrs. Alade.
    1. Marriage is still honorable : God declared marriage to be honorable and that loneliness is not good. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Abby Alade’ marriage modelled that biblical saying as duo cannot do without one another and none will take a step without another person’ s consent. This should inspire us and gear us to know that social media, its influencers, celebrities and or anyone’s experiences have not eroded the sacredness, honour and blessedness of marriage.
    2. Furthermore, there is a wide gap between big wedding and happy marriage as my parents had what was called a parlour wedding then ( just payment of bride price and blessing by parents). It was indeed a small wedding that produced a big marriage. God created marriage, human beings created wedding but it needs not be flamboyant, expensive or debt-achieved before we can have a big marriage. My parents did theirs simply and live bigly. Doesn’t that mean if you have the means for big wedding, you shouldn’t do it? Or does expensive wedding automatically means bad marriage? Not at all, the glamorousness of a wedding doesn’t determine longevity and ‘happyability’ of a marriage (in fact a family friend who shared the same wedding date, month and year with them had a big wedding and theirs also is working till date) but the lesson is that we should prepare for marriage than for wedding.
    3. In addition, happy marriage and godly marriage is not the same thing because you can be happily married like Ahab and Jezebel and not be godly married like them. My parents’ marriage is a godly one and because it is godly, happiness is guaranteed because a house inhabitated by Jesus is a happy home and two, a godly home produces a godly offsprings.
    4. Fourthly, what worked for A might not work for B. All those marriage teachings on couples wearing the same clothes, sleeping in the same room and bed, having joint account, sharing house chores has never worked in my family (maybe in the future but for now, not working). Are all these wrong? No, they are not bad in fact they are highly encouraged but it won’t work for all of us. So everyone of us has got to decide what will work for them as there is not copy and paste marriage because each marriage comes with its unique differences, challenges and uniqueness. My parents don’t sleep in the same room, don’t have joint account and don’t wear same clothes though they have few together, shared housechores and it is working for them for the past 37 years. Design your own happiness.
    5. Sequel to number 4, for a great marriage to occur, like my parents’ only things matter and are needed; LOVE AND SUBMISSION. My dad loves my mum and my mum is a submitted woman. Anything you don’t anybody to hear, don’t tell my dad because he will tell his wife. Contrary to popular opinion, love is unconditional and submission is never slavery.
    6. Divorce is not the solution to every marital problem is the fifth lesson to insipe us. My parents faced a lot of challenges that many secular marriage and relationship experts will have advised calling it quit. The challenges they faced ranges from financial, spiritual, health, in laws problems not excluding abuse of power but they didn’t quit nor give up on one another. They held on prayerfully for their marriage though God’s intervention and godly extended family’ persuasion and today the rest is a good testimony. There are still challenges in the marriage though.
    7. In conclusion, there are still happily married couples on this planet Earth. Forget about society what is saying, happy couples still exist, godly marriage is still possible and happy marriages still abound just that some of those couples are not on Facebook like my parents, don’t have their stories on FP of newspapers and don’t ever talk. Apart from my parents, I knew many of them. You too, can be happily married. Stay blessed and 37 cheers to my parents.

  • THERE IS A SPACE FOR YOU.

    n Genesis 7:2, God told Noah to, ‘take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate.’
    Inside Noah’s ark, there is a space for ferocious lion, gentle lamb, aggresive tiger, large hippopotamus, small mosquitoes, might elephant, tinniest microbes, smart babbons, dullard ostrick, stubborn goat, beautiful peacock, dirty pig and all kind of animals with their behaviours both the preys and the predators.
    Today, we have a better ark which is JESUS ARK (as He is both the owner and the builder of this better ark). Inside this ark, there is a space for adulterous Mary, lying Joseph, beautiful Joke, Ugly Dayo, murderous Jonah, betrayal Peter, persecutor Paul, selfish James and John, rich Matthew, poor Samaritan, Dr. Luke, illiterate James and all kinds of people have found solace in JESUS’ ARK of eternal salvation.
    Another interesting thing about Noah’s ark is that once an animal steps inside the ark, it loses its known behaviors and take on the attitude of peaceful co-existence. Lion and lamb are living together for 40 days and no problem.
    Same way, inside JESUS’ ARK, once you step you must lose your former attitude and take on the attitude of Jesus.
    Inside JESUS’ ARK, there is no Jew, no Gentile, no master, no slave, no rich, no poor, no class as we are brethren. Once you step into this ark, all your sin must be done with and you will be forgiven. The ark can only contain those that have been washed by the blood of JESUS. No matter, you past life, there is still space for you in the ark.
    Just as Noah make call then, Jesus is making His call saying, ‘repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.’
    The entry ticket then is to heed the warning, the ticket now is to heed Jesus’ call to accept Him as your LORD and SAVIOR.
    Won’t you rather ‘ark’ with JESUS? Won’t you rather accept JESUS as your lord and savior now so that you can be save eternally (becausw those of Noah’s were only save temporarily).
    If you want to enter the ark, say this word of prayer, ‘Lord JESUS, thank you for dieing on the cross for me, I confess my sin and ask for your forgiveness, I accept you as my Lord and Savior henceforth. Thank you for saving me, my loving Jesus (Amen).
    If you genuinely do this, take a step in the ark by joining a bible-believing Church in your locality.
    Welcome to the ark, Jesus, the ark owner loves you.

  • Black lives matter.

    Since the beginning of March, our covid19-battered world has been greeted with protests and hash tags have trended on the social media, all over the world over the killing of US black man, George Floyd. Most people on the political divides have commented on the killing but most have not talked from God’s view.

    Source: Internet

    The problem that world is facing is not caused by racism rather it is caused by sin. Sin is at the Root of every human problems and it leads to death, murder, arson and all ‘ism’ that is why Bible said in Roman 6:23 that the ‘wages of sin is death’.

    Did black lives matter? Yes, it matters. Why do it matter? No because they are black but because they are God’s creation and two, all lives, all people of all races and religions matter to God.

    All lives matter because God said in Ezekiel 18:23 ‘Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?’ Furthermore, He also declared in 2 Peter 3:9 that ‘The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance’.

    So therefore, your live matter to your Creator.

    Your neighbors’ lives matter to Him not matter the his\her skin colour.

    Black lives matter no just in US but everywhere.

    All lives matter to God.

    Shalom

  • NEXT LEVEL.

    Prophet Ezekiel had a drastic encounter from God about moving on to next stage/level of our walk with God in Ezekiel 47

    Verse 1b said the water is coming from the south side of the temple south of the altar that’s the water is coming from God. The water could signifies many things – rhema, revelation, God’s dealing, instruction, inner voice, inspiration, talents and gifts, prophecy, words of wisdom, etc and they all come from God the creator of all things.
    Brother, stop appropriating what is not yours?
    Sister, stop claiming what you are not the owner.
    Stop all these ‘my messages, my rhema, my song, my rev, our message.’ It is never yours? it belongs to God to the giver of all good gifts .
    The ‘water’ was created by God and flow from HIM. Halleluyah!
    In our walk with God and our work for God we should never get to a point where we think we have arrived.
    In our walk with God, the present level is not the best and final level there is always a next level to spiritual growth and better level to occupy; not because you have a point to score or a medal to get but because you want to deepen the relationship with Father, to know Christ and the power of His ressurection.
    In our spiritual growth, there are
    trickling level (vs 2)
    ankle level (vs 3)
    kneel level (vs 4) and
    waist level (4b) and
    swimming level (vs 5)
    If you can talk to GOD, remember there is MOSES who speak with you face to face
    If you can write, remember there is a level of PAUL the apostel
    If you are obedient, remember there is Abraham level on obedience
    If you think you have left something for GOD, remember there is Apostels’ level of leaving all for Christ.
    There are next level to your walk with CHRIST.
    If you are prophet there are level of Ezekiel prophethood
    If you have the gift of healing, remember there is a level of Peter and Paul level of healing with shadows and handkerchief
    There is a level of Elijah prophethood who doesn’t need to declare 7 days fasting and prayer to shut the heaven for 3 and half years.
    Third lesson, from verse 2-5 is that Ezekiel went on a walk with God from trickling stage to swimming stage so therefore it is not our work for God but our walk with GOD that determine your next level.
    Prophet Ezekiel wasn’t given an axe to dig for the water rather he was to follow the Angel for a third of mile to go to another level- trickling to ankle to kneel to waist to swimming and even in swimming level there is depths, lengths,breadths and widths to the knowledge of CHRIST.
    Your work for GOD is ushering, prophecy, and various positions in church and positions doesn’t determine your level in Christ as you may not even be in Christ to occupy those positions. Your walk with God is a life of obedience, daily bible study and prayer, surrender, holiness, sacrifice and godliness…It is your walk with God and not your work for GOD therefore;
    how far are you ready to WALK with the LORD in obedience?
    how far are you ready to go with the LORD in bible study?
    how far are you ready to go with GOD im prayer even though your prayers seem unanswered?
    how far are you willing to walk with GOD in brotherly fellowship?
    Lastly, verse 8 says that when the water flows to the dead sea it gets healed. HCSB version says that there was living in the water
    Dead sea did not have any living things but once this water touches it there is a living in it… Hallelujah…So therefore because of the LIVING WATER in us WHO IS JESUS CHRIST in whom we move, live and have our beings, our lives must be a life-giving ones.
    They have been collecting bribe in your office, the living water in you must put a stop to it when you start working there.
    People die younger in your family, you must put a stop to it
    People have been using there gifts and talents to populate hell,you must use yours to depopulate hell.
    The depressed must not leave you still felling depressed, he or she must get healing when he or she meets you.
    The sinner must not continue sinning after meeting you or you meeting him/her.
    The barren situation must receive a fruitful situation when you are involve.
    The assembly you just join must not remain cool after joining, there must be freshness.
    Every stale situations must receive freshness when you are around because our case is different… halleluyah.
    If you don’t have JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR you are not on any level at all talkless of next level so you need to accept JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR now. Tommorrow maybe too late.

  • 5 Things You Must Do Before Proposing to a Woman – Olubunmi Mabel

    image: Olubunmi mabel website

    So you’ve been in a relationship with a woman of your dreams and you can’t wait to drop down on one knee to pop the question, “Will you marry me?”

    While this is a good and romantic thing to do, you wanna be sure that you get the best result out of your plan, and that’s why you must know or do some things before you propose to your woman.

    Read below the 5 things you must do before proposing to a woman:

    Be sure you wanna be with her

    I know you’re thinking if it’s possible for a man to propose to a woman without being sure if he wants to be with her.

    It’s very possible.

    Some men will propose to a woman and still be checking out other women.

    If you are not sure she’s the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, then don’t propose to her. Be clear what you want and be sure she’s the one you really want.

    Don’t propose to her and start doubting if you’ve made the right decision.

    Be sure she’s ready

    Are sure she’s ready to be married, and most importantly to you?

    If she has projects or education to complete, she might be not be ready to be married.

    Have the marriage talk with her

    If you are in a serious relationship that you wish it leads to marriage, then you should somehow have the marriage talk with your woman.

    This will help you to :

    -know her mind

    -know if you’re on the same page
    -know if she’s ready for marriage
    -know if she wants to marry you
    -know her thoughts on marriage
    You shouldn’t just dump marriage on her without having a talk with her about it. Some women love surprises anyway. But it’s better to be sure to prevent any unpleasant surprises, so that the joke won’t be on you.

    Know the kind of proposal she’d love

    You should know your woman enough to know the kind of proposal she’d love.

    Not everyone loves to be the cynosure of all eyes, with her man on one knee before her being cheered on by a bunch of strangers or even friends.

    Not everyone loves a public proposal. She might find a private proposal, the one between the both of you, more romantic.

    Shyness may make a woman run away from the venue or become too tongue-tied to respond to your question. Save both of you from avoidable embarrassment.

    Remember that the proposal is primarily for her or both of you, not for the world.

    There is no award for the most ‘public’ proposal yet.

    Public? Yes. Not every public proposal is romantic.

    Hahaha.

    Prepare your mind for any eventuality

    While the four points above will secure you from unpleasant surprises, you should still prepare your mind for any answer because humans can be unpredictable.

    Do what you have to do, and let the woman make her decision. If she requests time to think about it, don’t nurse any bitterness against her. Give her the time she seeks.

    I believe that a lady who loves you will want to marry you.

  • 4 Significances of Easter.

    Halleluyah!

    Our Lord Jesus has risen! He has resurrected! He is not in the tomb again! Amen.

    According to the Scripture, our Lord Jesus died and resurrected on the third day;

    “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’ Mark 16:6-7.

    What are the significances of Easter to us as Christians:

    Easter tell us that our God that promises will fulfill His promises in due time.

    The prophecies about Jesus’ ministry was foretold hundred of years ago before their eventual fulfillment. Many have forgotten about it, many have discarded it and many have come to see it as fable but at the right time in God’s sight, He fulfilled the promises He has made.

    My sister, what is it that God has promised you? He will fulfill it.

    My brother, the covenant God has made with you, He will keep it.
    Is it car, house, marital partner, healing, financial breakthrough, job, etc? Whatsoever He has promised, He will do. Jesus promised to rise on the third day and He did.

    Easter gives us hope.

    Hope of eternal life, hope of eternal kingdom with our risen King and hope of resurrection. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 says;

    Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

    Halleluyah.

    Easter also tells us that we are serving a living God.

    All other religious leaders compulsorily died and never rose again but our Lord Jesus willinly gave His life and on the third day resurrected again, never to taste death again which means our God is not dead.

    He is God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
    He is God of the saints of old and present.
    He is my God and and He is your God.
    He is not dead nor deaf and He still answer prayers prayed in His name.

    Easter tells us about God’s love.

    John 3:16 says;

    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    and Romans 5:6-8 also says;

    You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

    If He did not deny us of His Son and Himself, what can He deny us?

    Nothing.

    These are some of the significances of Easter but all these benefits are for His children. Are you a child of God? If not, you can become one now by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
    If you are doing so, say this prayer; Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for me. I confess my sin, please forgive me. I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.

    Welcome to God’s family, it is that simple but it doesn’t end here. Do find a bible believing church in your locality and join and I also wish to hear from you.

    Lastly from me from Nigeria to you and all other Christians across the world HAPPY EASTER.

  • Why you should be thankful.
