By Femi Aribisala The 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 […]

Benzak Uzuegbu was behind an okada motorcycle rider when they came across a ghastly car accident. He wondered what could have caused it as people were lying lifeless on the road.

COVID-19 is afflicting lovers of pleasure by the millions and killing them by the hundreds of thousands

Bolaji Ogundimu had only recently been appointed as my Secretary when she put in an application for a housing loan. I had put aside a lump sum of money that could be borrowed by my staff interest-free.

If 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.

Femi Aribisala God takes us through pain and adversity because He wants us to identify with Him.  Those who minister to God lament over the things that break God’s heart.  We grieve over the afflictions of Joseph. (Amos 6:6).  We commiserate with a distressed Father who daily sees His beloved children going astray, taking the wrong decisions, […]

God says to Israel: “Why did your fathers desert me? What sin did they find in me that turned them away?’ (Jeremiah 2:4-5).
 

By Femi Aribisala Does anything upset God? Yes indeed! God is upset many times in the scriptures, according to the prophets. He is upset a lot because we upset Him. Jesus was so upset about Jerusalem that He wept over the city. He was so upset that He wept at the grave of Lazarus. What […]

By Femi Aribisala The centrepiece of Paul’s doctrine of salvation is what he refers to as “the election of grace.” (Romans 11:5).  In his epistles, Paul shows that God does not relate to people: “according to their good or bad works.” (Romans 9:12).  On the contrary, he relates to them according to His own purposes which He […]

By Femi Aribisala The new man created in Christ Jesus is a divine being. Ladi Bada recently gave a revelation that transformed my outlook. He said if anybody abuses or criticises him, he takes it, believing God must have approved it. God either intends to use it to correct him, or to test him. For […]

By Femi Aribisala I have never asked God a question he did not answer. He might not answer immediately, but all I have to do is stand upon my watch like Habakkuk, and he answers sooner than later. (Habakkuk 2:1). But a while back, the Lord answered a question I did not even ask. Or […]

By Femi Aribisala God told Moses that the children of Israel should bring Him an offering. He asked for gold, silver and bronze. Blue, purple and scarlet thread. Fine linen and goat’s hair. Ram’s skins, badger skins and acacia wood. Oil, spices and sweet incense. He left the bombshell for the last. He said: “Let […]

By Femi Aribisala Amos asks a compelling question. He says: “If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?” (Amos 3:6). God is the uncaused cause of everything. Nothing ever happens that He did not orchestrate. […]

  Femi Aribisala I was born into a Christian home and family.  Nevertheless, all my life, I have been fighting against the glory of God.  Paul asks: “Who has resisted the will of God?” (Romans 9:19).  I am ashamed to admit that I have.  For 41 years of my life, I was determined, even if […]

Femi Aribisala   27 years ago, God gave me this word: “Listen, O coastlands, to me, and take heed, you peoples from afar! The Lord has called me from the womb; from the matrix of my mother He has made mention of my name. And He has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in […]
