THE PROBLEM WITH AFRICA Promise Ikpe A man that was living abroad was sending money to his brother-in-law to build him a befitting house; the brother-in-law was to design the house, chose the quality of materials and executes the building-plan. He built a poor house with pitiable materials and when his brother-in-law who was sending him the money returned from abroad, he brought out the keys of the building to give to him but that one said, “I’ve been wanting to build you a house, you can keep it” and instead of rejoicing, he wept because that which he thought he was doing for another turned out to be what he was doing for himself. In Africa we go to school to get knowledge and because we think we are studying for the examination body, we find a way to go around the exams and get the certificate. When the government we are studying to work for wouldn’t provide jobs for us, we are left with the reality of what we’ve done to ourselves; the certificate we expect to make us get j...

HAVE YOU TAKEN THAT DRUG? Someone was terribly sick of a particular disease and a particular drug was recommended, after a while the one who recommended the drug was called and told that nothing has happened since after the drugs was taken, he smiled and replied, I thought so too after I took that drug when I too had similar issue but I wake up one morning hale and hearty. If you’ve taken that drug as recommended then I assure you, you are fine because if that drug doesn’t heal you nothing else will God had given us the drug to cure all ills and troubles we can ever encounter on earth. God created the earth and He created us, He knows every trouble we will ever face on this planet and He has the perfect solution to it and that solution is in the use of the name ‘Jesus’. Are you under the bondage of sin, you can’t live righteously as a Christian, by the name Jesus is your deliverance from the sinful habit be broken Are you under demonic afflictions that you can’t enjoy di...

THE STAR THAT NEVER SHINED I had a friend that was extra-ordinary skillful with the ball, as players, we know who is better than another and during 5 asides, he is the first to be  chosen but today,  he doesn’t make the cut because he is unfit to play and what’s the reason? He hates to exercise and jug. Like him, there are many around us who are now unfit in life not because we lacked the necessary skills and talents but because we are too lazy to read and study books, to exercise our body and mind, to train our voices, to learn some skills and acts, to discipline ourselves in the pursuance of a particular course in life. We are distracted by immature relationships, partying, addiction to drugs and masturbation and immorality etc. Many who would had been better football players than all those that we celebrate today are roaming the streets begging for bread, many who would have been better musicians than those we honor today are working as salespersons in small shops a...

God first gave the first man a responsibility (naming animals and caring for the garden) before He gave him a companion (relationship). When we go for relationship first before our career, we destroy our lives and end up in the wrong hands. First pursue your education and if you are not in school, pursue skill acquisition or learn a trade before seeking for a relationship. When we seek for relationship when we’ve not pursued and achieved our career, we shall end up in the wrong hands. God shall only present to you your ideal spouse when you have your career in your hands. You have no career, you are not pursuing any dream in life and you are busy seeking for a boyfriend or girl friend, my friend, you are about to destroy your future. When you have a relationship before you achieve a career, the rigorities of the relationship would destroy your dream in life. If your heart starts getting fond of somebody while you are still pursuing your career; education, skill acquisi...

One day, one of the women that joined my church newly was appointed a secretary by the women of my church. After she was made a secretary, she met with me privately and told me she could neither read nor write that her husband married her when she was very young and wouldn’t let her do anything or study anything as he vowed to be giving her everything she ever wanted. Now she had been made a secretary and she doesn’t know how to reject it because deep down her heart she wants to do it but she can’t. I retorted, you can read, every Christians have the ability to do all things, they just need to know that they can and they will be able. I showed her the portion where Christ said that the Holy Spirit shall teach us all things(but the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things...John 14:26) and I laid hands on her, after which I ask her to write down everything I say each time she listens to my sermon, she did the firs...
