DOES GOD KNOW YOU?
Sunday 24th August, 2014.

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (II Tim 2:15-21).

"UNDER-AGE MATRIMONY - Agony of the Girl Child"

Laws are subject to change or amendment but the primitive nature of man would rather die with errors than allow provision for correction.

Under-age marriage of the female child is a practice in certain parts of the world, recognised (accepted) by some religions, traditions, cultures, or laws. It entails the giving out of an underaged child or minor by her parents with or without her consent into marriage. 

Although there are reported cases of underaged male child matrimony, this text encompasses the travails of the female gender and the negative impact on society. Female child underage marriage has no morally justifiable reason in today's civilized world. The analysis is a non-religious, non-biased, or non-political point of view.

Christian-Christian, Muslim-Muslim or Ifa-Ifa Ticket and Irrelivance of Faith - EL-RUFAI

Fejiro Oliver of Elombah.com either does not understand simple English or was hired to lie on behalf of the likes of Wendell Simlins of this world.

What I opined about same-faith ticket is clear. I do not care about the religion of the candidates provided they have the capability, competence and capacity to fight corruption, create jobs and develop our nation without discrimination. And these qualities can be ascertained from their track records in public service and the private sector.

I do not care whether the 2015 presidential ticket consists of Christian-Christian, Muslim-Muslim or Ifa-Ifa. In my 54 years of being a Nigerian citizen I did not feel oppressed when Gowon and Akinwale-Wey ruled this nation.

Neither did I feel specially privileged when the disciplinarian and patriotic Buhari-Idiagbon duo governed the country in very difficult times. No eyebrows were raised when Chief Awolowo picked Philip Umeadi as his running mate in 1979. I did hear the elderly bigots of today shout when Chief MKO Abiola chose Babagana Kingibe as his running mate in 1993.

Africa of my Ancient Fathers

Africa of my Ancient Fathers

Before the mountains of Zion

Were discovered and established

Before the Arab springs googled

Out their pride waters

Before the Mississippi ever flows

Nile gave world civilization

O ever memorable ancient Africa!

GOFAMINT VICTORY MONTH PRAYER POINTS FOR DAY 24: O LORD, DELIVER NIGERIA FROM ALL KINDS OF EVIL

THE GOSPEL FAITH MISSION INTERNATIONAL (GOFAMINT)

DAY 24: SATURDAY 25TH JANUARY 2014

TEXTS: PSALM 85:12; ISAIAH 46:10

FOCUS: O LORD, DELIVER NIGERIA FROM ALL KINDS OF EVIL

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYING

God is interested in the affairs of Nigeria as a nation. This nation had passed through many crises in her Nation-building, yet she remains one indivisible entity up till date.

However, Nigeria is embroiled in fresh crisis in her polity, economy, education, sectoral allocation, religion and social welfare.

Yes, evildoers are increasing daily. Nigeria has gotten to the height of man’s inhumanity to man. People had made covenant with death, grave, demons, witches, wizards and other inanimate objects in the universe.

Religion leaders are not helping the matter. There is desecration of the holy writ (The Bible) and strange interpretations to support unwholesome practices.

Shedding of innocent blood, menace of “Boko Haram” and other monsters, corruption in virtually all facets of the society; Embezzlements and lootings of the  National treasury have become the order of the day. If there is anytime to cry to God for our beloved country, it is now!

LET US PRAY

1.      Thank You Lord, for keeping this country together, despite our collective rebellions against You.

2.      Lord, we appreciate Your mercy for making Nigeria to suffer less than the country deserves.

3.      Heavenly Father, thank You for not allowing the triumph of evil; despite its ravaging effects on Nigeria as an entity.

4.      Lord, cleanse this land of innocent blood and deliver the country from all destroyers of lives and properties.

5.      Gracious Father, You are a mighty warrior and great in battle, stretch forth Your hand against all unrepentant taskmasters of this country.

6.      Deliver Nigeria from the bondage of corruption, hypocrisy and deception (Rom. 8:21).

7.      Lord, break the stronghold of “Boko Haram” and other miscreant agents of monstrosity in all nooks and crannies of Nigeria.

8.      Heavenly Father, flush out all corrupt security agents who have become security risks; sanitize Nigerian Judiciary and electoral system.

9.      All economic saboteurs through oil bunkering, money laundry, diversion of project fund and cash flight, be frustrated in Jesus’ name.

10.    In the name of Jesus, all perpetrators of evil and anti-progress shall proceed no longer in Nigeria (II Tim. 3:8-9).

11.    In the name of Jesus, we incapacitate all stationary, mobile and intermediate demons on assignment over Nigeria.

12.    “Righteousness exalts a nation”, Lord, send down revival of holiness and righteousness across Nigeria in the name of Jesus Christ.

13.    We plead the blood of Jesus on Nigeria and her citizenry in Jesus name (Rev. 12:11).

14.    Heavenly Father, restore the lost glory of Nigeria, cripple all attitudes of self-centeredness, lack of accountability and probity.

15.    Lord, raise up permanent intercessors for Nigeria, who will never give up over this country (Isa. 62:6-7; 59:16).

16.    In the name of Jesus, Nigeria will survive and fulfill divine agenda of leading end-time world evangelism.
