Easter is a pagan festival surreptitiously merged with Christianity. Easter is not one of God’s holy days. The word ‘Easter’ is not even scriptural; it does not exist in true translations of the Bible. Easter was smuggled into the King James Bible in Acts 12:4, where it was substituted for the original word: “Passover.” “When […]
Continue ReadingContrary to what many Christians may have been led to believe, God is not a problem-solver even though He solves problems. If we define God as a problem solver, we will be frustrated and disappointed when he adamantly refuses to solve our problems. The psalmist says: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the […]
Continue ReadingBelievers are slaves of Jesus. I wrote in my new book, Kingdom Dynamics: The Day of My Death, that Jesus saved my life and then took my life. He saved me because He wanted to kill me. As a result, my Saviour became my adversary and killer. That is kingdom dynamics. Similarly, Jesus frees slaves from bondage […]
Continue ReadingGod created a world full of counterfeits. Solomon in his wisdom recognises this. He says: “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2). Nothing in this world is valuable. Nothing on earth is meaningful or worthwhile. John says: “All that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and […]
Continue ReadingWe often include God in our personal agendas. For instance, we say: “Give me my thing for God’s sake.” Or “Leave me alone for Christ’s sake.” “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.” (Acts 17:30). I had always assumed that God loves us more than Jesus because He gave Jesus […]
Continue ReadingGod is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and End of all things. (Revelation 1:8). Accordingly, He not only brings trouble to men, but He also redeems men from trouble. The psalmist says: “God turns man to destruction.” (Psalm 90:3). But he also acknowledges that it is God who redeems our life from destruction. (Psalm 103:4). Here is the […]
Continue ReadingArmed robbers broke into a man’s house. They cornered him in his bedroom. In desperation, he pleaded to be allowed to say his last prayer. His assailants were amused. They told him to go ahead but make it brief. The man went down on his knees. “Father,” he cried silently, “I need you to deliver […]
Continue ReadingPastors contradict the counsel of the Lord without batting their eyelids. They plant church parishes like supermarkets in every street corner. They build cathedrals and church monuments like World Trade Centres, each one striving to be the biggest and most splendiferous in the universe. They gather thousands, even millions, of “worshippers” in front of television […]
Continue ReadingMarriage means that both husband and wife have chosen to lose their independence. Marriage is not man-made; neither is it subject to human design. God is the author of marriage, meaning marriage was made in heaven. The greatest marriage of all is that between God the Father and Jesus the Son. Theirs is the supreme […]
Continue ReadingMy niece was getting married and the wedding was outdoors. But just as it was about to commence, the weather changed; a bleak rain cloud overshadowed the place. I called out to a so-called pastor nearby: “Come,” I said, “Let us shift this rain.” Immediately, a cloud came over him. I could see fear written […]
Continue ReadingJide inherited a generator from his late “guardian.” He used it for business purposes by renting it out to people who needed it on special occasions. It so happened that the generator in his church was stolen. The pastor insisted that church members should not be told about the theft; otherwise, they might conclude that […]
Continue ReadingIn a video that went viral on social media, a bishop is ostensibly conducting deliverance on a group of teenage girls alleged to be witches. The girls kneel submissively in front of his holiness, the bishop. However, to his annoyance, one of them has the audacity to contradict him. The girl says defiantly: “I am […]
Continue ReadingEvery pastor who collects tithes is a thief and a robber. At a Sunday service in a New Testament church, the pastor asked the church-members to open their Bibles to Deuteronomy 21:18; and they began to read. “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father […]
Continue ReadingAll those who call themselves pastors are not disciples of Jesus. Their authority is not from heaven, but from men. Frustrated by the magnitude of the miracles attending Jesus’ ministry, the chief priests and elders of the Jews challenged him in the temple. They demanded to know by what authority he was doing the things […]
Continue ReadingWhen the Pharisees insisted that divorce was lawful because it was sanctioned by the Law of Moses, Jesus pointed out that Moses authorised divorce because of the hardness of the hearts of Jews. But from the beginning, it was not so. This same principle applies to the issue of tithes and offerings. God says in […]
Continue ReadingA young Nigerian friend phoned me from the United States to ask an intriguing question: “In all your years of following Jesus, what have you gained?” She was possibly at a crossroad, having a crisis of faith. Probably, she was confronted with the bankruptcy of the prosperity messages prevalent in the churches. She had discovered instead […]
Continue ReadingThe story of Jesus does not make an Arnold Schwarzenegger kind of movie. At the end of this film, the great protagonist is not standing victorious. He is hanging dead on a cross. Okay, so He resurrected after three days. But how many people knew about it? Did I hear you say five hundred? Just […]
Continue ReadingIf you were appointed as Nigeria’s minister of Finance, would you steal? It all depends on what kingdom you belong to. If you belong to the kingdoms of this world, you would be a fool not to steal. No matter the anti-corruption noises being made right now, you would know you cannot be in that […]
Continue ReadingThe article reproduced here was written in 2015. It predicted the comeuppance of Bola Tinubu in the All Progressives Congress (APC). I have decided to re-submit it for publication because what was obvious to so many of us on the sidelines was oblivious to Bola Tinubu. We always knew it was a matter of time […]
Continue ReadingEarly in my relationship with God, the Holy Spirit engaged me in discussion over my obsession with going to heaven. “Femi,” he asked, “why do you want to go to heaven?” I could not answer him directly because my interest in heaven had little to do with heaven. Instead, it had to do with my […]
