WE DO NOT LIVE TO HIDE

-

The book of Proverbs chapters 28 and 29 talk a lot about the righteous and the wicked, and their influence in various circumstances of life. For instance, Proverbs 28 verse 28 tells us that “when wicked rise men hide themselves, when they perish the righteous increase”. You know most of the rulers we have in our world today are unrighteous and they love to see the people hide themselves. They love to see the people scramble under their tables, looking for shelter, trying to save themselves even while suffering. They love to see the people beg them and cry for their own rights. This is the situation of many nations today. People suffer hunger and lack but they cannot talk, lest they suffer more harm. But we do not live to hide. We live to stand up against ungodliness. The scripture also says that when they perish the righteous increase. Truly the Lord does not desire the death of a sinner. So, we may not outrightly pray that ungodly leaders should die because God desires that they live to repent. But of course, if they do not, their punishment cannot be quantified.

However, we pray for the death and perishing of evil in our land. We are declaring that the wickedness of the wicked comes to an end. When this happens the righteous and righteousness will increase in our land. The Lord will give us righteous people who will have authority in the government, in the government parastatals, in our organizations, communities, and institutions, so that righteousness will prevail in the land in the name of Jesus.

Lastly, in Proverbs 29:16 the Bible says that “when the wicked are multiplied transgression increases, but the righteous shall see their fall”. Look around you, evil, transgression, crime, vices, etc. seem to be the order of the day in our nations because the wicked have multiplied themselves. They keep giving birth to their kind, which is why it looks like it would never end. But no! It must and will. The Bible says the righteous shall see their fall. We shall see the fall of the wicked in our nations and the fall of unrighteousness. We shall see the reign of righteousness, the leadership of the godly, of the righteous in our lands in the name of Jesus. Evil shall not prevail in Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

YOU ARE THE SACRIFICE

  Two young men brought their offerings to the Lord one day. One was a farmer, and the other reared animals. They were brothers from same parents. They had worked so hard, and in the process of time, they made this offering to the Lord. But the Lord accepted one, and rejected the other. WHY? This has always been the question in the minds of many people. This is the story of Cain and Abel. Ah yes! It's very popular, so it's nothing new. We've heard, read, and spoken about it since when we were kids. We were even told in the children's ministry that Cain brought decayed and putrefied crops, so he was the one who got rejected. And then Abel brought a very fat and good looking ram as sacrifice, so God was so pleased that He couldn't find any fault in Abel's offering. The mistake we've always made whenever we read this story in Genesis 4 is to always condemn Cain and applaud Abel, and never look at ourselves. In fact, for some persons, they've outgrown this s

MANAGING YOUR LIFE'S PROJECT

PMI (Project Management Institute) simply defines a project as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.  Therefore, we understand that project management involves all the processes put in place and carried out to ensure successful delivery of project expectations within the timeframe. Many "beautiful" projects have failed today, while others are on their way to hit the rock because of lack of proper management. This is why we study project management to learn the best practices on how to be successful in our endeavors. It is also imperative not to think of a project as building or road constructions, rockets, software packages, etc. The simple act of waking up in the morning and going to work is a project. Now this is the point where we sip a cup of lemon juice🍹 to pause 😊. YOUR LIFE IS A PROJECT ! Sadly, this is one project people do not bother to manage. We spend billions preparing and working on projects, that we forget about our ow
