May Day! Payday! (Prophecy in Poetry).

Sometimes beginnings feel like endings and endings often feel like the most emptying experience.

It's a new month. Brace up World! Wake up Nigeria! 
Sit up and listen up!
Your time to be released from the chains of an awful past, and the pains of a miserable present, has come.
You can't keep going the way you've always gone and known.

Rise up and shake up!
Rid yourself of torn garments
Rip apart the cloak of torments
Get off the back of old warhorses
Clear the mess in Augean stables
Jettison all that sell you for gains
Cast away their accursed wares
Shake and turn their filthy tables
No longer feed their insatiable cravings
No longer heed their deceitful fables

They will not return to run
Their strongholds will burn
They fail in strength and faint
The wealth they took and spent
Can't spare them a day more to spend
Another day to wine and dine
Now, so hard to find in time
Take away their grin and smile
Let all they took away to hide,
Return to you as you rise to shine

Weep no more, this is your day
Your redeemer is on his way
His power to save does not wane
The earth brings her payback day
And all who wasted you, till you had no say 
Will surely be made to wail and pay.
It's May Day! Payday!

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 enco...
