We The Nigerian People.

We The Nigerian People.

I stopped blaming the government, i stopped blaming our weak institutions, i stopped blaming the past, i stopped blaming the old political ruling class,  when i discovered that the problem is Me, Yes We! The Nigerian people; who over the years have refused to learn from the past.

We the Nigerian people who love our slave masters so dearly and are ready to die defending them. We the Nigerian people who would risk our lives to go to the polls of elections fraught with violence, only to vote in the same men who over the years have taken us for a ride, keeping our land in perpetual penury and darkness.
We the Nigerian people who are swayed in any direction money goes, struggling for peanuts like peasant farmers, while those who have squandered our nation's resources take us as dogs in dire need of the crumbs from their tables. 
We the Nigerian people who are so used to slavery and have become faithless, hopeless, and fail to see any possibility of freedom from our chains.
We the Nigerian people who don't value integrity, uprightness and competence enough to stand for it, but are so ready and apt to unashamedly support and stand for unscrupulous and perfidious characters. 
O foolish and faithless Nigerians that we have become, who bewitched us that we should not wake up to reality? How are we still divided between voting in the same old political gladiators, who over the years have kept our nation in bondage?
Have we not complained in the past, that young people have been sidelined from the politics of the nation? 
Now we have young and competent men in the race, but we have already written them off even before the start of the race. We are Nigeria, and Nigeria cannot change until we change our mindset and get ready to truly embrace change.

False Assertions About Sin. Part 6.

False Assertions Addressed By John.  (3.) "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."  1 John 1:10. This is the third false assertion about sin, which John the apostle dealt with. I know you must have heard some preachers/christians today teaching that the new creation man does not have a past; that the new creation man is not the man that Christ died for, that the new creation is not the redeemed for he never existed prior to his birth in Christ. I was once in a service in 2001 when a renown preacher/televangelist, in a bid to demonstrate and pass across this teaching, brought out two men, and put one of them infront and said that is the sinner, that is the man that Christ died for, the man that was redeemed; he can sing: 'Amazing grace...that saved a wretch like me'; he can sing the songs of redemption.  He then led the second man out and said that is the new creation man, the man who has no past; that is

Who Is A Man Of God? Part 1.

The Man Of God Or The Man Of Himself.  A very thin line exists between a man of God and a man of himself. Many today are called men of God but they are men of themselves or men of the people. They speak of themselves, represent their own interests and concerns, even in the things of God. It's high time we defined who a man of God is. The general tendency we have is to refer to people as men of God, simply because they carry the bible and preach or because they set up a religious organisation, and have a building where they use a microphone to speak to a congregation. There's also the tendency to think that those called into the word ministry like apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors, are automatically constituted men of God. The appellation or designation 'man of God' was not carelessly used in scriptures, and should not be carelessly used by any bible believer. Scriptures scarcely referred to men as 'men of God', thus we should be c

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.  By Dipo Ecclesia When I gave my heart to Jesus as a teenager and later staggered in faith, I became agnostic and showed complete apathy to the things of the spirit and I stopped going to church. I began to doubt everything about  Christianity and the bible and will try hard to argue the bible logically with anybody I see. After some years (Five years precisely), there was this strong and serious desire for me to seek God again (I actually embraced Islam at a point but just didn't practice). The desire to seek God was so strong and compelling that it became a struggle with me and the Lord before I finally yielded and bent to the will of the Lord and was restored. Back then I made up my mind that if there is really a Living God and since I HAVE JUST ONE LIFE, then I want to know Him myself before I die and not just what preachers have being telling me, in fact I asked God to show Himself to me and He did by some encounter
