Well just to inform your uninformed brain. John D Rockerfella was a dedicated tither till death, so were many other rich folks who tithed fervently till death. And there are records of some who contributed way more than the tithe to christian ministry...

Some of you would just wake up one morning and be doing ridiculous rankings.

If I ask you how many universities in Nigeria are offering Archi you won't know yet you are creating rankings that are not based on any empirical evidence.

So now Boko Haram is trying to save FG's face or Boko Haram has now become spokesperson for FG. Abeg just release the Christian in you held back and save your stories for those who belief.

CuteMadridista:
How did you know they were atheists? you challenged my post and I'm asking you how you know they're atheists?

and saying they're atheists because Kim and family are atheists is like saying you're all Muslims cuz Buhari is one

The same way I know they are Muslims in Qatar, Christians in US or Canada. There are reputable non biased report about the state of religion in North Korea. You can look it up. I advise you not to seek for atheist propaganda blogs cos they would only reinforce your self delusion.

Kim Jong In is an ATHEIST who ran aground North Korea

CuteMadridista:
How many North Korean families have you ever visited to know they're atheists? you ask lame questions not realising it falls back to you too

DeSepiero:
Bush man, no religion is NOT equal to atheism
Unlearn and relearn

Even if you pretend to belief that NKreans are worshipping Kim. At least Kim himself alongside his party members are Atheists yet they have run North Korea to the ground even in the absence of religion.

The essence of my response is to proof to the moronic op that the absence of religion doesn't make a society necessarily better and I'm glad that DeSepiero now agrees that the absence of religion hasn't impacted NK positively.

On the other hand Christian populated countries in North America and Europe, Australia are flourishing while even the Jews of Is real are flourishing every now and there. So shove your bullshit atheist propaganda up ur arse!

CuteMadridista:
North Koreans worship Kim Jung Un and his family as gods

Lol here they come again with this lame excuse. How many North Korean families have you ever visited to know they "worship" the Kim dynasty as a religion. Adoration/Fear and absolute loyalty must never be confused for religion.

If you open the border of North Korea today, millions of people you say worship Kim would run of the country faster than a supersonic jet(But at least even if all of North Korea is deluded to truly worship Kim as a god I am sure Kim himself is an atheist and knows fully well that he is no god, yet he torments his people as an Atheist)

All I can assure you is that North Korea is an atheist country without Islam or Christianity yet a pile of sh!t and your atheism couldn't save it from descending into chaos. If atheism couldn't save North Korea it won't save Nigeria.

OfficialAwol:
Imagine there's no religion.

Nothing to kill, or die for. We would all be living as one.

God bless John Lennon.

See mumu. North Korea is an atheist state - can you see how repressive and unprogressive it is. I have no problem with govt banning Islam and sending the atheists to prison though

This issue has been giving me serious pain since yesterday. I wish there was a proper call to take up arms in Christianedom and this Boko Haram alongside all those terrorists in the Middle east would have met their waterloo long ago. I hate that Christianity leaves its adherents defenseless and vulnerable... I understand the old testament where violence is met with proportional violence, but this new testament I don't really understand.

My own heart is resolute, I would go to war and die if it would save any Christian girl but the instruction of Christ is clear and like an army a man has to obey even when a man does not understand...

..

See foolish fool... Can u imagine how this senseless human is reasoning- boasting that he stopped "apostacy". So a person is not permitted to leave Islam for another religion! - this Islam is a threat to human's existence.

Sometimes I wish we can just pack all the Christians in the north to the south while we return all the Muslims in the south to the north and let everyone live according to their values.

"This is what he was caught doing"

Don't pay attention to the blogger. Was just being deceptive. But I already changed the title.

Revered clergy man, Bishop David Oyedepo was on Tuesday evening, March 20 sighted at Sango bus-stop near the shrine of Esu Odara (Satan).

The Canaan Land bishop who was formerly a Muslim was exclusively sighted at two different points with people swarming all over him like bees. According to findings, he was there for nothing than evangelism.


Oyedepo preaching in the jeep
The bishop was first sighted sitting in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Jeep, Plate Number --- near under Sango Bridge, facing Lagos-Abeokuta express road, preaching to a gathering of people. After his preaching which lasted for about 30 mins, he told the crowd to put down their names and phone numbers in a piece of paper shared by his envoys.

He further told them that the collection of their details is to establish a contact with him. He said: “the number they collected from you is for you to share your testimony, because I know you will all have a testimony to share after this prayer. Tonight, you will receive a message from a number and with that number you can share your testimony with me and also book an appointment with me.”


Eshu Deity carried a worshiper.
Following that the Africa’s richest pastor moved his convoy to Sango-Ota road, near the Shrine of Esu-Odara. The shrine is just a stone throw from where he was and as usual, he repeated his modules of preaching and also followed up by taking the details of the crowd with a promise of reaching back to them.
Those that made up the crowd include market men and women, Agberos (Street Urchins), workers returning home and all sorts of people.

Meanwhile, the Ojubo Esu (Satan’s Shrine) has been at Sango bus stop junction for years. The small house painted in white and black is where Esu worshipers converge most times, especially every August 20th, to worship the deity. However, its worshipers are of the opinion that Esu is not the Satan mentioned in the bible as Esu is just “is a mischievous trickster figure who enjoys confusion on a cosmic scale.”

That is what an Atheist Militant State looks like - Oppressive and Intolerant.

Atheism is the religion of Stalin, Mao and that criminal Hitler who masquerade in Catholism. The same crap these Atheist terrorist are doing in China, they also did in Albania and are currently doing in North Korea.

More reasons why one shouldn't pity them when Muslims that dealing with them in Kano.

As for my brothers and sisters in China stay strong, the best of Christianity emerges in the worst of times. If the fires of Nero could not eradicate Christianity it wouldn't be that squinted eyes demon xi jingpin from the pit of hell that would...

Uni of Mumbai made top 1000 of QS ranking last year while UI did not.

However a university with 89,000 students and 300 academic staff is a dangerous place to be I would advise you to run from uni of mumbai without looking back. Even my dearest Covenant has 1,000 academic staff to 9,411 students.

My ministry is to see to the fulfillment of his ministry. It’s more of supportive ministry; while he deals with major issues, I look into smaller issues to prevent distraction. In all, little or big, I am doing what I’m assigned to under his calling. - Bishop Abioye, First Vice President, Winners Chapel

By Leke Beecroft


In a preamble to the article, the Joshua Generation, a study of the post independence apostles gradually taking over the baton of the gospel, this is a look at one of the foremost successors in this generation. David Abioye (born March 1961) is not just a Joshua, he doubles as an Aaron who held the hand of Moses, who was a voice unto Pharaoh. A man who on many occasions as testified by Oyedepo himself would finish messages Oyedepo started whenever Oyedepo had to leave the stage, an example was December 31, 2016 at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland when Oyedepo developed a severe sore throat and could not complete the message as his voice was inhibited. What makes this humble servant of God tick? Have a pleasant read in this preview of THE JOSHUA GENERATION.


"I was privileged by God to come into this beautiful world fifty six years’ ago (. I have had the awesome opportunity to serve in the family of Living Faith Church since inception. Even though a graduate of Engineering, I’ve found the greatest joy in my current calling and assignment. Before answering the call into full-time ministry, I had worked briefly at the then Open Cast Polytechnic, Auchi between 1985 and 1986 as a lecturer. I am happily married and blessed with three wonderful children.


Ministry is a call, not what you desire. I needed to say that because I did not desire ministry. I was simply a lover of God; I love God and was running after God. I never thought of ministry. I was dreaming of having a modern high tech workshop which was my greatest aspiration. I was doing everything I could to get that done while at the same time, loving the Lord as a believer. One thing led to the other, and in the process I was privileged to meet God’s servant, Bishop David Oyedepo.


When I met him, I saw in him the kind of passion in greater dimension of knowing Jesus and following after him. That fired me up. In the process of time, God gave him a vision for ministry and I found myself serving him with great love for Jesus. Even then, when the ministry commenced, I was still pursuing my passion for an automobile engineering workshop. Until finally, the Lord spoke to me, to abandon what I was doing to serve under his servant. That is how I came into the ministry.
God has different ways of dealing with people. My spiritual relationship with God has always come in most simple and modest way.


I have had God speak to me, mostly through inner voice and deep conviction, which I believe is one of the strongest ways of God speaking to people, just like in Elijah’s experience on the mountain; the still small voice. When that voice comes it is usually with strong conviction. Every time I hear God in such a manner it is with assurance and rest. The Lord spoke to me that He has an assignment for me under Bishop David Oyedepo, which is what I refer to as my calling to the ministry.


I have said this several times that my ministry is to see to the fulfillment of his ministry. It’s more of supportive ministry; while he deals with major issues, I look into smaller issues to prevent distraction. In all, little or big, I am doing what I’m assigned to under his calling.

My contact with God’s servant which dates back to early 1980 is a mystery. It was in a Christian Students’ Fellowship. Hearing him speak ignited fire into my spirit, I found in him a man who was pursuing God the way I desired to pursue after God.


Thus, he immediately attracted me. Ever since that day, my spirit connected to his spirit. It’s beyond physical likeness of any kind. I believe this can be better illustrated with Proverbs 27:19, “As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.” Ever since then the relationship has kept growing deeper by the day. It’s exciting, and I give glory to God for the privilege.


He is several things to me. Firstly, he played a great brotherly role in my life. Since I became a staff under him, we have also had a formal relationship. I regard myself as a servant under him. From that formal relationship, it has grown to a father-son relationship. He has given me the privilege of coming close, having the treatment of a son. I work very hard not to abuse but to appreciate that privilege.


When God’s presence is with you, you are at rest. He said “My presence will go with you and I will give you rest” He leads you beside still water, He refreshes your soul, He keeps you away from anxiety because in the first place He does not lead you into what you want but what He has programmed for your life.



The phenomenon of church expansion of this ministry is an act of God. Going through church planting history, I’ve not read of how this number of churches was planted within the period of years that God gave to us. For example, up till the end of the year 2009, our church network in Nigeria was under 800, but within the following two years, God by His mighty hand has enabled us to increase the number of churches to over five thousand. We didn’t make it happen, God made it happen. He only gave us the privilege to quickly respond to His command. We are celebrating this because what God has spoken, His hand has equally performed; to Him alone be all the glory.


Number two is divine guidance. While vision is identifying God’s purpose for your life, divine guidance shows the pathway to fulfilling that purpose. As God’s servant always says “we do nothing except as commanded by the Lord.” Today, people see this ministry as being in the forefront, the reason is because no project is ever embarked upon except as commanded by the Lord.



Another important factor is divine presence. This ministry believes so much that without God’s presence, embarking on any pursuit is a waste of effort. Divine presence has been our backbone it uproots mountains and gives birth to all-round breakthrough.
Finally, there is the prompt obedience to divine signal as exhibited by Gods servant.


He is a man of prompt action. Once he hears God giving directive on any subject, he does not waste time to thoroughly follow it through, and when prompt action meets with divine guidance, great accomplishment is bound to erupt.
You see when you have truly heard from God, the voices of others become insignificant to you. You can’t hear from God and be confused. You can’t hear from God and doubt. You can’t hear from God and be wondering whether you heard from Him or not. It’s as clear as that. It’s only someone who wants to walk in disobedience that will pretend to hear something else as it comes to play.


You don’t have to start ministry to have a ministry. I quite understand that there are callings and as a matter of fact, callings will multiply because according to scriptures, there will be multiplication of visions. I like to discourage people from having a self made call..


If you are called, let it be a call and if you are not called, you can fulfill a calling within an existing ministry. I have come to realize that it does not reduce you, it’s all a matter of impact. Like I tell people, I am not number one in our ministry but by the grace of God, I carry out my assignment with undeniable impact. Ministry is about function, not about number. Ministry is not about ‘foundership’ but about touching lives. You don’t have to be at the top to lead; you can lead from the middle and you can even lead from under.


The Holy Spirit, my Guide, my Custodian, the One whom Jesus Christ handed us over to is my greatest asset. If you like, call it Divine Presence. I have always told people that if they care to pray for me, it’s the prayer of Divine Presence. If God be for you, no man can be against you. If God is for you, you have rest and your supplies are guaranteed.


Everything that is needed is in Divine Presence. I have said humorously that ‘I will rather lose ten thousand members of the church than to miss His presence.’ Saul traded Divine Presence for the elders of the city, and eventually the elders left him. David rather preferred to miss the drums of the people than to miss God. That’s why in Psalm 51 verse 11, he cried to God, “cast me not away from thy presence and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.” You can take every other thing away but don’t take Your Spirit away from me.


We need to value the presence of the Holy Spirit. That is the promise of the Father that Jesus gave to us. That is my most valued asset.
My next asset has to do with my relationship with people which I describe as integrity; maintaining sound Christian character. When we were growing up in the faith, my family church background was in the Evangelical setting that is the Baptist to be precise. The basic scriptural principles we learnt were honesty, transparency, truthfulness..



I have said that I will rather be a pastor of thirty people in my village and maintain good character than being pastor of thirty thousand in a city, without character. I value character.. “’A good name’, the Bible says, ‘is better than riches.” If you lose money, you may get it back but if you lose your name it’s gone forever. The greatest inheritance you can leave for your children is a name. You may not leave any material thing for your children but leave a name for them. Without a good name you are doomed; when you are dead, you are truly dead. With a good name, when you die you still live on.


Good character and integrity will be considered as my next asset aside of divine presence. I don’t care about what I have materially but I want to maintain a good name. A good name not in the sense of fame, but a name to be remembered for good. My candid advice is, live an exemplary life. People may applaud you for good speech, they may scream at your oratory skill but they will only follow you for your good character. They may admire you for your appearance but they will copy you only for your character.


As a person, I am passionate when it comes to the issue of family. Although, I have a very busy work schedule, I still find time to relate well with my family both immediate and relations, knowing very well that happy family is the bedrock of any thriving pursuit. I make sure I extend a hand of love to everyone, and assist in whatever way I can either on regular term or otherwise.
My wife is a blessing to me. Without mincing words, we have grown to have a kindred spirit. What I have admired about her is her love for God.


What I recommend for young intending couple is to find a platform for their relationship. In my view, it should not even begin with love for each other but love for God. That is number one security for marriage. If you want to marry, look for someone who loves God. Look for someone who loves God the way you love God. You will always have a common meeting point even when you have challenges and struggles.


I realize that one of the problems people have in ministry has to do with their family relationships. If you have other pressures other than spiritual pressures from your spouse, it’s easy to manage. My wife has been a great lover of God and I respect her for that. Because she is a lover of God, she is a lover of me and my assignment. She is a submissive person. We have enjoyed the years together.


As you grow in a good marriage relationship, you find out that your wife is more than your wife. I have found sisterhood in her; I have found motherhood in her. When I don’t see her as my wife I see her as my sister or mother. We have had good companionship.
My primary hobby is loving and serving people. I get excited when I have opportunity to serve people. It brightens my soul and quickens my body. I feel relaxed whenever I have the privilege to love and serve people.


More importantly, I enjoy relaxing with my family because that’s the hub of peace and success in life.
I believe God made man to work, so my day usually is filled with work even till night with a brief break at every evening Often time, I only have just few hours of sleep at night. I do not compromise my study time which is usually at night time, as well as qualitative time with my wife and children.

Sweden alongside many other European nations are Naive! They should have asked what people in Africa and Mid East have witnessed thanks to Islam before allowing that religion a foothold.

Europe can kiss her serenity and peace goodbye forever. Their greatest mistake was to think you can control Islam's influence just as they do for Christianity.

The Bingham University, Karu, in Nasarawa State, on Thursday matriculated 1,014 students admitted into its five faculties for the 2017/2018 session.

In a speech at the ceremony, its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Qurix, said that the institution was recording rapid progress in spite of challenges in the areas of infrastructure, funding and governance.

He said that management was exploring funding alternatives to meet growing demands of the institution that was attracting more interest from people seeking university education across the entire world.

Qurix expressed happiness that major challenges that necessitated the setting up of a visiting panel were being tackled, saying that salaries were becoming more regular while the dearth of infrastructure was being addressed.

He said that the school now had eight faculties following the accreditation of the law, pharmacy and nursing faculties by the National University Commission (NUC).

The Vice Chancellor said that the school had massive potential that must be explored toward making it a centre of excellence, urging everyone to contribute his or her quota toward meeting that goal.

“Our goal is to graduate students with high quality and capable of being self-dependent. We want graduates that will not wait for jobs. We want those that will create jobs and propel our society to greatness.

“We want an education that allows students to be innovative and think deeply. That is what Nigeria wants now,” he said.

Qurix said that the school had an excellent Centre for Tropical Diseases, noting that it was the first of its kind in Nigeria.

The Vice Chancellor reminded the students that Bingham University was a faith-based institution and would, therefore, not tolerate vices like cultism, drug use and drug abuse, smoking, fighting or stealing.

He urged staff and students to support management’s efforts to make the school a model for others, and particularly thanked the staff for their patience and understanding over the years.

In his speech, the Executive Secretary of the NUC, Prof. Abubakar Rashid, lauded the institution’s steady growth and its efforts to overcome teething problems.

“Your progress is indeed laudable. You have risen from 126 students in 2006 to more than 4,000 in 2017. Your resilience is commendable especially in view of problems faced by most private universities in the country,” he said.

Rashid advised proprietors of private universities to abide by NUC guidelines, particularly in key areas like funding and good management.

He also challenged lecturers to be committed to their roles and avoid soliciting favours from students or their parents, warning that the NUC will not tolerate that.

“Lecturers must know that they are holding people’s children in trust. They must respect their oaths of offices and avoid situations that will being them into collision with the school management or the NUC,” he said.

He urged lecturers to pay more attention to research so as to come up with solutions to the myriad of problems facing the society, and assured the school of NUC’s support toward meeting its prime target of becoming one of the best learning centres in Nigeria and beyond.

The 12-year-old university is owned by Evangelical Church Winning All Church whose headquarters is in Jos, Plateau State.

Very soon Graduates of these private Schools would start entering into Ministries and Political spheres and from there they can effect whatever change they need to effect. Don't think American govt funding the Ivy Leagues is simply because they are good, there are lots of Influential Alumni pulling strings

CodeTemplar:
I don't buy the idea of govt supporting church unis like CU, LU & RUN. It will give the govt a say in the moral standard of those unis and by extension non-believers.

And May God bless Wesley University for catering for the need of the deaf.
