The grand finale. The next few seconds would be the last he would ever spend in life...

Whilst some African nations are busy licking their wounds, making various excuses for why the most powerful and popular man in the world chose Ghana ahead of them, most are simply relishing another proud moment of African history.

One of the greatest offences is using the name of God carelessly, wrongly, for selfish gain and selfish fame. The single and most common factor that puts people off Christianity is Christians themselves who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and deny Him with their lifestyles. - People, pastors and evangelists claiming to be messengers of God and yet using this medium to increase their own pocket, deceiving the naïve and gullible to believe that they are sincere and humble servants of Jesus Christ. There is indeed a crisis in Christendom.
Shouting that name Jesus, preaching a powerful and stirring sermon, gathering followers around you by no means certify your genuineness as a pastor. The…

- I have often wept for our nation Nigeria - tears born of future reflection amid our present condition. Greatness lies within our borders, yet failure grips without. Why? Bequeathed with abundance in natural resources, creative and intelligent indigenes, a zealous and hard working attitude – why is it that the beauty within is so stained and stifled by the pains and pangs of poverty? Is it a divine wake-up call to repentance and recognition of our Creator? Yet our nation is said to be the most religious in the world. Or is it a vast and monumental case of mismanagement that is grossly projected for the whole world to examine and make mockery of? Sadly, such appears to be the case. S…
