As the new day dawns, I’m reminded of a hymn we usually sang in boarding school, “New every morning is the love.” The first stanza gave this important reminder: “New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought.” That hymn, […]

No matter what life throws at us or the troubles we have inflicted on ourselves, we should not despair because our God is able to save us. This was the cobfidence of the three Hebrew children in Babylon when King Nebuchadnezzer threatened to burn them in a furnace if they didn’t bow and worship the […]

Intro: This poem is a reminder of what God accomplished for us through the earthly ministry of Jesus, beginning with His birth. He was born for our freedom from sin and Satan.

For many believers, to be “blessed” means to receive relief from their problems and acquire the pleasures and comforts of life. In this regard, Christians have different conceptions of God. To some, He is a strict and holy God who must be revered and never troubled for temporal matters. To others, He is a sort […]

If you’re a Christian, you probably need no convincing that God loves you very much. Perhaps, you know the scriptures that say, “I have loved you with an everlasting love” and “I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” These and countless others in the New Testament that you often feel are addressed […]

On October 21, 2017

Intro: Someone once said that the Bible is God’s love letter to us. It’s impossible to be a Christian and not know what it says. Even the illiterate depend on sermons delivered from it.

Intro: I went to check my pigeonhole at work today and saw an almanac slotted in there by whoever. It featured Orji Uzor Kalu, publicising a nebulous political ambition, and showing his latest political party as the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

On October 13, 2017

PROLOGUE TO THE SERIES You are welcome! The story you’re about to read is fictional. It’s not a reflection of how I think and talk. Thankfully, the chief character-narrator is a guy (called Ebony). This should tell you that the language is not 100 per cent kosher but it’s authentic to the character. The story […]
