In Episode 21, I spoke about how not everything written in the bible is an example of what to do. Some are examples of what not to do. How do I know this? Because according to 2 Tim 3:16, one of the reasons God gave us the bible is for correction! 1 Cor 10:6&11, also explain that some narratives serve as warnings to us.

Just for an example, in 2 Kings 3:27, a king sacrifices his oldest son in the heat of battle, and the tides turn in his favour...

Several times, I’ve heard people joke about emulating David and Solomon in the bible, who both had several wives and concubines in their lifetimes. They say that if those bible characters were allowed to, then it’s ok for us today. I have also met some professing Christians, for whom this is not a joke at all; who have argued quite seriously and passionately in favour of polygamy for Christians today.  Now here’s the thing...

Someone once told me he does not make any serious life or family decisions, without his father’s intervention and approval. What made this information extremely strange was that at the time of our discussion, his father had been dead for close to ten years. My acquaintance made me understand that he had been receiving guidance from his departed father over the years, and he did not feel it conflicted with his faith as a Christian...

Happy New Year 2023 my dear listener! I’m super grateful for the opportunity to be recording the first episode of the year. So after I made the last episode titled “Be Intentional”, I suddenly started seeing both religious and non-religious posts all over the internet about intentionality. You know how you buy a new car and suddenly start seeing the type all over town? That weird thing definitely happened to me over the last week...

It’s the last day of 2022 and in my country Nigeria, and in churches around the world, multitudes will gather for cross-over services and night vigils into the New Year. As one pastor put it, it’s one day in the year that brings a huge crowd of people into church, many of whom, will thereafter, most likely not hear another sermon for the rest of the year, and will put everything about God on hold, till the next cross-over service...

Merry Christmas, my dear listeners! I hope you have a really blessed celebration today. Amidst the activity of this period, the season is a good time to reflect on what Christ’s presence in our lives, truly means to us as individuals.

Several weeks ago in episode 4, I mentioned that there was one time I heard a preacher say that if a professing Christian is committing fornication at the moment Christ returns, the person would go straight to heaven...

So in the past few episodes, I talked about the uniqueness of the life of Jesus, who was Himself, the fulfilment of several ancient prophecies. Please check out episodes 14 and 15 if you missed that. Today, I will be talking about the bible. I have heard professing Christians mock the bible. Ironical right? Yes. Many believe that it is merely a collection of incredible and largely unproven stories...

I have met many Christians whose only reason for being called Christian is that they were born into it. Does that describe you or anyone you know? Then, please listen for a few minutes.

In Episode 14, I spoke about portions of the Old Testament which predicted the life of Jesus...

Once, I overheard someone in a casual discussion with other younger Christians, joke that since she was born, she had been hearing that Christ was coming back soon, but yet, He (Christ) had still not shown up. In a few words, amidst laughter, she let her audience know that she believed the second coming of Christ was some kind of fable which would most likely never happen...

A few weeks ago, I stumbled on a story in the book of Acts, how Paul and Barnabas had been going about preaching and healing people and the people were so amazed by their exploits, that they exclaimed, “These men are gods in human form!” The people then went ahead to bring flowers, animals and other materials for sacrifice, to offer worship to Paul and Barnabas (Acts 14:13). Interesting right? But here’s the part of the story that really got my attention...
