Birth to us means a new beginning,But to Him, birth meant a welcome into the battlefield,So how does a baby fight?Can he raise a standard against his enemy?Or stand inch by inch to wield his javelin and arrows?When he stepped out, he was always embattled,But He managed a perfect childhood,Graduated into faultless manhood,Conducted a holy […]
Read More Battle Won by Death Woundthere are some things which, if you do, you will lose battles you should win. This is the heart of the matter here. We have failed in places we were not supposed to fail because we made these fatal mistakes. All failures in various aspects of life are usually guilty of this one great mistake.
Read More If This Happens, You will Lose Battles You Shouldn’t LoseOur world is embattled to a greater extent. Wars bombard us on all fronts. We fight for survival from unforeseen dangers and injuries. We eat, breathe, sleep, shower, and do everything that has become routine. To your dismay and mine, even the pulpit is embattled. This looks scary, right? Maybe you may begin thinking in […]
Read More Battle for the PulpitWhat comes to your mind when you hear the phrase “In the Name of Jesus”? Does it command pious attention and an air of sanctity? Does it remind you of all power in heaven and on earth? What does it strike in the keys of your memories? While Christ was on earth, especially in the […]
Read More THEY BETRAYED HIM IN HIS NAME!And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:
Read More Come Rest a WhileI have been hurt,I have been robbed,I have been suppressed and intimidated,I have been mangled down by the merciless hand of the oppressor,I have been made a fool of by him that rejoices in holding captive, the bodies and souls of men,I have had to swallow the hard pill of blatant disappointments,Or worse still, put […]
Read More I Don’t Want JusticeDoctrinal integrity is something that makes one invincible. A man or a woman armed with the unquestionable authority of the Bible is not someone to joke with. An armament of sound doctrine makes one preach with power, and silence every erroneous teaching and opinion. Doctrinal soundness is the spinal cord of every religious practice and worship. The distinction between true and pure religion is based on what is taught by either. In spiritual arguments and apologetic discourses, everyone who argues outside the doctrinal framework stultifies themselves before every thinking man. Anyone who brings their opinions in stipulated discourses plays on unsafe ground, and will sooner or later be dumbfounded and be sent out of the arena.
Read More An Argument More Eloquent than all DoctrinesIf I had a chance to preach in a funeral,I would ignore the dead,Not because of disrespect,But because my most tantalising articulations are too late for them,If they were my friends,I would tell everyone who care to listen,The precious memories we shared with them,I would speak as much as I can remember of their goodness,Any […]
Read More If I Had a Chance to Preach in a FuneralWhatever you are so good in, the direction is important. You must pull in the right direction and with the rest. You could be radiating the most solemn basso profundo with stable resonance and captivating timbre, but when you don’t harmonize with the rest, you can be so annoying and boring. A Skilled athlete who does not follow the pattern of the team is wasteful and will attract the wrath of the fans. There is beauty in being orderly and manageable.
Read More Harnessing Strength: The Importance of DirectionA crooked stick is not very useful for drawing. It keeps on making crooked lines and unwarranted mistakes, which was not to be the case. This is true, especially if the person handling the stick is an ignoramus in art. However, the hands of an accomplished artist may make a difference. On the same note, […]
