Stealing in the House of God

July 22, 2018July 22, 2018 CHIJIOKE IREMEKA reports

The Eighth Commandment, “Thou Shall Not Steal” is far from being observed by temple robbers, who are committed to stealing from worshippers, church offerings and tithes. While true congregants gather for weekly activities, they strike, even as the Scripture says “Let him that stole, steal no more, but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs.” CHIJIOKE IREMEKA reports It was a peaceful night when the children of God had gathered for a vigil,…

February 18, 2018February 17, 2018 Correspondents

John Dumelo, who is a popular Ghanaian actor, has reacted to Shatta Wale’s death prophecy. A prophet, Cosmos Walker Affran, had prophesied Shatta Wale’s death in a post on his Facebook page just as entertainers were mourning the death of dancehall rapper Ebony Reigns in a tragic auto crash. Affran said, “Ghana should pray, I see a national mourning again the whole nation was in tears and this time is Ghanaian singer Shatta wale, and it is very close death . Thou saith the Lord. ” Shatta Wale, in reaction…

It is the project of God

January 14, 2018January 13, 2018 Pastor Lazarus Muoka

John 15: 16 says, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. ” Beloved, what we are into as Christians and people of God is the project of God. It is important to note that what we are chosen to do is a divine project, an assignment of God, a task that must be accomplished.…

Why God embarks on aggressive forgiveness (2)

January 14, 2018January 13, 2018 Archbishop. Moses Kattey

Did you notice why I call that parable, Running Father? Watch an old man running across the town, through the market and running with all his strength. Can you see embarrassment and how people would come out to watch what went wrong? Do you know that some concerned relations and friends could run after the man to catch him or prevent him from embarrassing the people? The man was just right and not in insane – running to offer the son Aggressive Forgiveness. It was his joy. That was how…

The will of God

October 28, 2017October 27, 2017 Pastor Onyesonwu

“Go ye into the world and preach the gospel…” Mark 16 verses 15 O many of us are selfish. We want to go to Heaven allalone. We want to ‘sneak’ into Heaven. Anyone who does not tell his friends, relatives, even his ‘enemies’ about the saving grace of Jesus Christ is simply selfish and wicked. No matter how we claim to love them, if we fail to preach to them or reach them, we do not love them at all. Some of us will not even mention Jesus to…

April 18, 2017April 18, 2017 Ajibade Olusesan

African table tennis queen Funke Oshonaike has hailed youngster Esther Oribamishe who won the African Continental Qualification tournament and booked a ticket to 2018 Youth Olympic Games. Despite missing out on participation at the 2017 ITTF African Junior and Cadet Championships, Oribamise was in terrific form at the continental qualification event as she beats Egypt’s Marwa Alhodaby in the final in Tunisia on Monday. Victory over Morocco’s Ines Outolla in the last four (11-4, 11-9, 11-7, 11-1) guaranteed a top two finish and the Olympic qualification in the Girls’ Singles…

Between marriage and the Nigerian economy

April 18, 2017April 17, 2017 Kayode Fasua

As the Nigerian economy stands on a cliff hanger with hunger boldly written on the faces of over 70 per cent of the population, not a few pundits have retreated to the drawing board, to assess its colossal effects on marriage, world’s oldest institution. Others, however, say prostitution is the oldest trade, but apparently not an institution. The average Nigerian’s per capital income, under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, these days, appears grossly insufficient to feed a mongrel dog for three days, much less an Alsatian, thus spiking pressure, anger,…

When a federal minister overreaches

April 18, 2017April 17, 2017 Roy O U Nweze

People who do not know me erroneously think that it’s possible for any hirelings or whosoever to stop me by any means – whether through abuse or attack or howsoever – from talking or writing about my state and community of birth. No, it’s not possible. The more they abuse and attack me, the more I know that I’m making a valid point. Today, I’ll talk about an arrogant and despotic brother, his Hobbesian disposition, unlawful trespass to land, and illegal arrests and detention of innocent youths from our town…

Shall I tell this to the president?

April 18, 2017April 18, 2017 CLEM AGUIYI

They already own everything; they own our politics, our economy and our money. Even the CBN is being privatised and controlled by this cartel. The same cartel now wants to control the water we drink and the air we breathe to complete their vicious cycle of enslaving and subjugating us all. They don’t care about the future but only about the dark interest they represent. Unrestrained capitalism is evil and should be challenged. The media knows about this but will never write about it. Our elite knows about this but…
