Confessing Christ before men
By Femi Aribisala Jesus says: “Everyone who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

Gather Up the Fragments of Your Life (1)
The Lord sent word that I should wait on him for three days; he had something important to tell me. On the third day, he said to me:
“Femi, there are only two kingdoms, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. Everybody you are ever going to meet will come from one of these two kingdoms.

One Thing You Lack (1)
Jesus is walking down the road, and there is this strange man in flowing white agbada running after him. The man is running like a mad man. He is running and shouting. What could possibly be the matter?
For Christ’s Sake!
We use the expressions “for God’s sake” and “for Christ’s sake” very often. When we use them, it is to insist on getting something from somebody. We might say: “Give it to me for God’s sake.” Or we might say in frustration: “Why don’t you just leave me alone for Christ’s sake?” But these things are mostly said in ignorance; without our fully realising what they mean. “Father, forgive us, for we do not know what we are saying.”
