  • Accept Responsibility when Wrong

    The confessions of sins ensure that we confront the reality of different situations. Our loving and redeeming savior forgives us and renews hope within us. We must accept responsibility for our actions and acknowledge that we are wrong and have committed sins.

    1 Samuel 7: 1-13 1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD. 2And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD. 3And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. 4Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. 5And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD. 6And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh. 7And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. 8And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 9And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. 10And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel. 11And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar. 12Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. 13So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

    Confession of sins brings us face to face with reality.

    Indeed, this is the time we discover a loving God and a redeeming Savior who forgives us and reinvigorate hope within us.

    Confession may not remove the consequences of wrong action, but it is a first step into wholeness.

    The Purpose of Education

    The socialization system in Nigeria has broken down.

    Irresponsible parenting is to blame for the multifarious challenges in Nigeria today.  

    Those who gave their children and wards sound education are very proud today, but those who failed to do same vigorously cover their faces in shame.

     Those-in-Charge are helpless but continue to push policies that have greatly impoverished Nigerians.

    The forces of darkness forcefully take from the poor to enrich themselves.

    The fear of God is enough to guide those who are not evil minded through life.

    Most of the activities of members of religious persuasions in public offices are not in tandem with the doctrines of such persuasions.

    Education is supposed to remove the wool of ignorance from our eyes, but unfortunately this is not the case.
