IN THE HOUSE OF GOD

I asked God a silent questions, 30yrs ago, why did those generations in Noah's days find it so difficult to board the Noah's Ark and get saved? It took God 30yrs before He could answered my pending questions.
God said, "As it was so difficult for the generations in Noah's days to entered Noah's Ark, so also, difficult for these generations to dress well. So difficult to putting-on a clothes that will covered their breast & their bom-bom. "As it was so difficult for the generations in Noah's days to board Noah's Ark, so also, difficult for these generations to stop singing & dancing Skelewu, Yawuse, Gongo-Aso & Doro. As it was so difficult for the generations in Noah's days to board the Ark, so also, difficult for these generations to stop smoking, drinking, clubbing, dressing like Jezebel, going to the house of God as if they are going to watch BASKET MOUTH, fornicate, dancing Nigeria Idols. Its so difficult to gives ones life to Jesus & live a holy life.


God said, "As generations in Noah's days were mockery of Noah & His family for constructed an Ark, & as they also isolated themselves from Noah & his family, so also, people today are making mockery of any calls to repentance & they isolated themselves from anyone telling them to live a holy life. 

A Winning or Rigging Formula? - Gumi

Ringing the 2015 election this time will be very difficult indeed. Voters will remain until the results of their votes casted are pasted in front of them. And with a more potent competitor, the PDP that was once the only "national party' has further polarized the polity not just on the north-south divide but more dangerously on the religious one. Already some of them have already started calling APC an 'Islamic Party' to put in the Christian psyche the loathe of the party. Yet not acknowledging the fact that PDP especially with the recent South African $9.3m scandal, majority of Muslims believe the party is a CAN party.

With this ugly political scenario in situ, re-endorsing President Jonathan is their greatest political blunder because I know the Muslim North will totally reject him. That means the only option left for PDP to continue is by rigging.

PDP is then the epicenter of the most dreaded religious earthquake or the crater of volcano eruption that can shatter and destroy the nation. Because 2015 is not 2011. In 2011, the benefit of doubt which Jonathan enjoyed in the North is completely eroded by his style of governance.

AREGBESOLA'S VICTORY IS A STATEMENT OF FACT ABOUT HIS EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE - PASTOR W.F. KUMUYI

The General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry , Pastor William Folorunso Kumiyi has descibed Governor of the state of Rauf Aregbesola as a man who has demonstrated exemplary leadership with his disposition to all religion creeds and massive infra structural development in the state. 

He said the attitude of the governor has not suggested any form of favouritsm to any religion in his policies and programme.

The Deeper Life General Overseer made the statement while addressing journalists during a Courtesy visit to the Governor, at the State House, Osogbo. 

Kumuyi thank God for the peaceful conduct of the August 9 Governorship Election in the state and the emergence of Governor Aregbesola for second term while urging the governor to double his efforts during the second term.

Weapons Haram: A pastor, a jet, Israel and $10m By Bala Muhammad

Imagine this scenario: “A private jet belonging to the Sultan of Sokoto [though he hasn’t as yet got one] has been impounded in South Africa laden with undeclared cash to the tune of almost $10m. Also arrested were two Nigerians and a Saudi Arabian citizen. The arrested trio said they were in South Africa to purchase arms…The Sultan of Sokoto is the leader of Nigeria’s Muslim community and President of the country’s influential Nigerian Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs (NSCIA)…”

Just imagine the frenzy, the abuse, the castigation, the condemnation a section of this country’s media and public commentariat would scramble to if this were what happened. The story would have been a real BANG!

However, the story happens to be the direct opposite:

“A private jet belonging to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has been impounded in South Africa laden with undeclared cash to the tune of almost $10m. Also arrested were two Nigerians and an Israeli citizen. The arrested trio said they were in South Africa to purchase arms…The Pastor is the leader of Nigeria’s Christian community and President of the country’s influential Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)…”

34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:

35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

INSPIRATIONAL: SOMEONE IS WATCHING!

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. And he was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practised in the wood but he could never hit the target. And getting a little discouraged, he headed back to dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved.
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching. Sally had seen it all,but she said nothing. After lunch that day grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today, didn't you Johnny?" And then she whispered to him"Remember, the duck?"

Who is incharge of Bama: A microcosm of our dilemma - Gumi

Bama women, children ‘dying’ of hunger as Boko Haram tightens grip on town
Who is incharge of Bama? Nobody can reliably say. It's 'charge and run' for Boko Haram and the Nigerian army but this means Bokoo Haram has gained considerable confidence and may have finally dislodged Sambisa forest.


This is happening when our politicians are busy with empty maneuvers to win elections. This is happening when unscrupulous individuals and fake organizational leaders are endorsing failure after failure. While others have overnight turned into praise singers.

Northern politicians are the most pitiable. The latest I heard they are scrambling for the VP position in their wildest dream. A VP is a spare tyre and what they don't comprehend is that in Nigeria it's a taboo for a deputy to be a heir to the throne. It's just one step as it appears but a giant one for that matter. Someone at the bottom of the ladder may reach it easily while you remain swinging aspiring for a soft landing.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.

INSPIRATIONAL: MAKE LOVE A PART OF YOUR LIFE!

Once upon a time all feelings and emotions went to a coastal island for a vacation. According to their nature, each was having a good time. Suddenly, a warning of an impending storm was announced and everyone was advised to evacuate the island.

The announcement caused sudden panic. All rushed to their boats. Even damaged boats were quickly repaired and commissioned for duty.


Yet, Love did not wish to flee quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realised it was time to leave. Alas, there were no boats to spare. Love looked around with hope.

Just then Prosperity passed by in a luxurious boat. Love shouted, “Prosperity, could you please take me in your boat?”

“No,” replied Prosperity, “my boat is full of precious possessions, gold and silver. There is no place for you.”

INSPIRATIONAL: JUST BE YOURSELF!

In life, it doesn't matter from where you are coming, where you are going or how you are going to get there? Aside from what you want to accomplish, what kind of a person do you want to become as a result of all the work and effort? People who achieve great things in life are invariably those people who give a lot of thought to their own evolution and growth.

These people are like master craftsmen, constantly shaping and polishing their lives to become more worthwhile and important. Great thinkers become exceptional by design, not by accident. What really motivates them?


I wonder what, rather who, motivated these self-made men and great minds like Walt Disney, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton! It’s difficult to think what will motivate you.

We are often asked this question- 'Who is your role model?' I think hard. Really hard. I think of great people and ask myself, will this great philosopher really influence me? Do I want to become like him? In my head, the answer is always a 'No.' in my honest opinion; a person himself can motivate or de-motivate himself.

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

INSPIRATIONAL: NEVER JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE'S SCAR, YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN!

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore. His mother in the house was looking out the window saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The Secretary to the Commission said progress would have been accomplished if the Directors imbibed the lessons and insights proffered by the Resource Persons.

INSPIRATIONAL: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF...

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.
But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgements and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Britain Will Never Give In To Terrorism - Cameron

David Cameron tells Sky News that Britain will not pay ransoms for kidnapped British hostages

British PM David Cameron has condemned the "sickening and brutal" murder of US journalist Steven Sotloff by a man he said appears to be British. The PM told the Commons the ordeal of a British hostage understood to be held by the same group of Islamic State (IS) militants was "unimaginable".

In a video showing the purported murder of Mr Sotloff, the killer showed the hostage, described as British. Mr Cameron said: "This country will never give in to terrorism. Our opposition to ISIL (Islamic State) will continue at home and abroad.

"It makes no distinction between cultures, countries and religions. There is no way to appease it; the only way to defeat it is to stand firm and to send a very straightforward message. A country like ours will not be cowed by these barbaric killers. If they think we will weaken in the face of their threats, they are wrong; it will have the opposite effect."

INSPIRATIONAL: I HAVE LEARNED....?

I have learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do.

i have learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I have learned that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I’ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I’ve learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I’ve learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

INSPIRATIONAL: WHEN MARRIAGE GROWS OLD

It is the joy of every child seeing their old parents living in harmony, relating as if they just married yesterday. Marriage is always sweet at old age especially when the couples maintain the integrity and standard of marriage. Before marriage grows old as expected, many waters might have passed under the bridge. 

The time of sacrifices are uncountable, what of several sleepless night due to one’s spouse behavior, the time you will go on compulsory fasting when you cannot put something on the table for your children to eat, the rolling tears when the challenge seems unending, threat of intruder is also there, families and in-laws disagreements are not left out, disappointment and heartbroken will also show up, fear of unknown future etc. likewise, we have time of joy and happiness. ,

The experiences of marriage before it grows old is not always smooth, but if you can open your mind, it is a school of life that worth passing through.

TAN: TRANSFORMATION AGENDA NIGERIA (OR) THIEVES AROUND NIGERIA - Abdulazeez Adeniyi

SOUTH WEST zonal rally in Ibadan produced 4million voters signatures asked GEJ to carry go.

SOUTH SOUTH zonal rally in Port-Hacourt produced 4million voters signatures asked GEJ to carry go.


North central, Northwest, Northeast and Southeast are still mobilising signatures that will asked GEJ to carry go.

Are all these signatures real or imaginary? If they actually are, how much exchange hands?

Stephen Davis's Allegations: No smoke without fire - Abubakar Gumi

Stephen Davis was explicitly clear. Modu Sharif and Ihejirika are sponsors of Boko Haram but now they can no more control the group. In the past they pinpoint targets to be hit. I presume the later more especially than the former being a civilian. Just recently Sheriff after meeting president Goodluck said: “I’m not a security man. Whatever that as civilian, I can do using my position as the chief executive of the state for eight years and what I have seen during my tenure, I will contribute to the security agencies through whom I got those information" Daily Trust 16th august 2014.

It's no secret that the security agencies have committed atrocities in Borno which they deny, so since Modu gets his information from them not directly from his kinsmen it's no surprise that what ever ambition he dreams of getting from collaborating with people annihilating his own clan and brothers will becloud his reasoning.
For these young immature suddenly rich politicians, it's easy to sway them with the fantasy of being aided to be the next president or next that. With them the lack of the intellectual capacity to know the contraptions of power struggle is legendary.
