On Constitutional amendment and NASS affront on the Supreme Court: The news that the National Assembly is bent on going ahead to override the veto of Mr. President on the fourth alteration Act in disregard to an order of status quo made by the Supreme Court, if true, is to say the least unhealthy for our Democracy. A number of lame arguments have been presented to justify this anathema. First, the widely bought argument that the apex court lacks jurisdiction on the case overlooks the provisions of the Supreme Court (Additional Original Jurisdiction) Act (enacted by the National Assembly itself) which confers original jurisdiction on the court in any dispute between the President and the National Assembly. Assuming without conceding that the court acted ultra vires, is it for the National Assembly to constitute itself as an appeal court ? determining when a court possesses or lacks jurisdiction to determine a suit? At least, Democratic civility requires that the NASS challenges...

A WONDERFUL LETTER FROM HEAVEN TO MUMMY  Mommy, I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence, because my existence started from conception when I was formed in your womb. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you, maybe you didn’t expect me, but God sent me to you as a special gift, ...

CHRISTIANS' BAD HABITS DURING CHURCH SERVICE I have noticed with utter dismay some bad habits practiced by some Christians, even during Church services, and even inside the Church building. These habits fall into different categories. Some are appalling, some disgusting, some funny, some unthinkable, some sinful, some are, some are, think of it; the list is endless! What do you make of someone doing 'Notice me' kind of habit, even in the church?! Come to think of it, someone who is just trying to show-off his brand-new latest iPone6 in the Church, what does the person want to achieve? A lady trying to 'gum body' with a guy in the church, for what? A guy 'toasting' a girl in the church, and even during church service, what relationship does he want to have? A politician coming to the Church to canvass for vote from church members, are we on the campaign ground? A school proprietor trying to 'seduce' church members to enroll their childr...

Friday April 24, 2015 SIN: CONSEQUENCES & CURE Memorise: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 Read: Ezekiel 18:20-24 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.  21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.  22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.  23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?  24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth acc...

Thursday April 23, 2015 SECRETS OF ANSWERED PRAYERS Memorise: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7 Read: John 16:23-27 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. Message Although prayer is at the very heart of our relationship with God, not all prayers are answered by Him. There is therefore a need to understand the secr...
