The current state of deteriorating economy is an indication that the beautiful one has not been born. The Messiah might have not arrived yet.

Story About Forgiveness
Jesus declares that God forgives and wants us to forgive others without holding a grudge. Mathew 6:14-15 - If ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses. The followings are discussed: Peter's Question about Forgiveness; Jesus Teaches Forgiveness, and Consequences of not Forgiving.

Peter's Question about Forgiveness: We are living in sinful world where many are ignorant of their sinful conditions. God has promised to make us righteous when we confess and reject our sins (1 John 1:8-9). Rather than overlooking sin, we should rebuke sinners so that they can realize their wrongdoings, repent, and be restored to God. Christians are called to put hurt feelings aside and forgive completely. Rehearsing or counting on offences of someone will make the heart heavy and cause loss of sympathy and unforgiveness. Total forgiveness sets the people free from grudges and internal damage. Jesus wants believers to forgive, reconcile and live in peace with one another (Luke 17:4-4). He wants us to posses forgiving spirit.

Jesus cautions about the danger of causing others to sin and wants people to practice unlimited forgiveness. The Rabbis had taught people to forgive three times a day, but Peter was not satisfied with that and wanted forgiveness to be extended to seven times a day. He might have made reference to Old Testament passages where certain requirements were based on seven times (Genesis 4:15; Leviticus 26:18; Proverbs 24:16).

Jesus' response to the matter of forgiveness was shocking when he demanded seventy times seven times (490 times) a person should be forgiven in a day (Mathew 18:21-22). He said this to show that God's mercy and forgiveness are unlimited. He wants us to forgive all times, all days. However, God's forgiveness is not a licence to continue in sin. He wants those who are forgiven to go and sin no more. He will judge sin and punish sinners for disobedience.

Jesus Teaches Forgiveness: Jesus used the parable of debtors (Mathew 18:23-25) to show that forgiveness is costly and those who are forgiven are fortunate. Sin is like a debt that can not be cleared with one's entire possessions. The lord of the servants had demanded justice when he asked the indebted servant to pay back the amount he was owing.

The debtor realized his debt can't be paid back, even if all property, his family and slaves were sold. So, he asked for mercy and extension of time to repay the debt. The king knew he could never repay the debt, he had compassion and forgave the entire debt (Mathew 18:26-27). The King's mercy can be described as God's mercy and grace toward us (Ephesians 2:4).

Consequences of not Forgiving: When the debtor went out and found a fellow servant who owed him hundred pence he held him and asked for repayment. The servant asked for mercy to repay the debt, but he wouldn't and sent him to prison. The fellow servants felt bad and told their lord what servant he forgave had done. Their lord was annoyed, and delivered the unmerciful servant to tormentors, to be punished until he should pay back all debt (Mathew 18:28-31). God has forgiven us the debt of sin we couldn't pay. Therefore we must be ready to forgive those who have sinned against us. Failure to forgive will cause bitterness and may destroy relationship of the person that is not forgiven with God.

The unmerciful servant, whose debt was forgiven was punished for his unforgiving attitude. He sent fellow servant to prison for a much smaller offence. God wants us to forgive offences of others because He has forgiven us far greater offences - the debt of sin (Matthew 18:32-33). Wickedness and pride can't make people forgive offences of others. Humility is required to show mercy and offer forgiveness. God demands forgiveness as an act of service for faithful living (Mathew 5:23-24). Lesson texts: Mathew 18:21-35; Luke 17:3-4.

The president loves traveling sha! May be the most traveling president in Nigeria. But the country is hard o!

nawao! When shall we have a country that won't experience fire outbreak accompanying with massive destruction of lives and property whenever we are in the dry season?

some arguments here are borne out of ignorance. Many were just finding a way to defend and live in ignorance, they want to avoid God so that they can follow after lusts and fulfill unrighteousness.

Scripture can't be understood by reading it partly. If you are trying to express your thought about a story or an event you must read everything from the beginning for proper understanding.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The scripture according to Christian faith is meant to liberate minds from moral and spiritual darkness, help people about matter of holiness and righteousness, show people the will and way of God.

Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

God bless the king for being a peace-loving and kind man. He has been going to places meeting people and telling them to embrace and live in peace. He didn't have time for pride. He wants progress for all people

This implies we have 'children of God' in this govt. Can their presence influence the govt to the betterment of the citizenry?

Joseph's presence alone was able to turn around the fortune of Egypt.

May God use them to find the direction for the country from the the present economic woes.

Philip the Evangelist
All Christians are called to reach out to the world, telling others about Christ's gospel. Those who are directly or indirectly doing the work have obeyed the call to evangelize . We can verbally proclaim the good news or support the mission with prayers and resources. Acts 8:6 - The people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracle. The followings are discussed: Deacon and Family; Evangelising Samaria, and Ministering to Ethiopian

Deacon and Family: At the outset of evangelism, many souls were won for God through the preachings of the apostles and testimonies of believers and there was increase in the activities of the Early Church. As a result, some aspects of welfare seemed to have been been neglected. When the apostles were hinted to look into the situation they chose seven spirit-filled and godly men and gave them the duty of meeting needs of the needy (Act 6 1-7). The apostles were relieved of the overwhelming responsibilities when they gave devout believers part to play in the ministry. Philip was among those selected. Persons of good character and whose lifestyles match profession of christian faith must be considered for spiritual leadership.

Philip is referenced as an outstanding evangelist because of his commitment and good legacy passed to his family. Apostle Paul and those working with him credited Philip for training his four daughters and making them to take part in the ministry (Acts 21:8-9). He taught his household the importance of seeking God and his daughters became perfect example of a fulfilled prophesy (Joel 2:29). Christian families must ensure members are well trained for spiritual well-being and guided to walk with God (Proverbs 22:6).

Evangelising Samaria: The Early Church faced serious persecution from those who were opposed to the good news. Despite the hostility the apostles and evangelists could not be stopped because they were strengthened in God and allowed Holy Spirit to work with them. When Stephen was stoned to death among the chosen seven, others waxed stronger and continued. Philip didn't compromise faith in fear of the persecution, he continued to proclaim the gospel and the power of Holy Spirit backed his ministry. His ministry was accompanied by miraculous signs and wonders (Acts 8:4-8 ). He healed incurable diseases and destroyed demonic powers. God demonstrated His sovereignty over the physical and the spiritual through Philip's ministry.

Simon the sorcerer was among the people converted through Philip's ministry. The people of Samaria had believed that sorcery power, magic, fortune-telling and witchcraft were miracles from God (Acts 8:9-13). When Philip entered the town, preaching Christ and performing miracles the people saw far greater miracles and were convinced of the real power of God. Philip's message was based on God and he didn't take the glory for the miracles God performed through him. The people who had followed Simon turned to Christ and were baptised. They got out of the darkness and entered into the spiritual light of Christ's gospel.

Ministering to Ethiopian: After the spiritual revival in Samaria God directed Philip to go and meet Ethiopian steward who was reading but couldn't understand Isaiah's prophecy about the Messiah (Isaiah 53). Philip explained the scripture and the man understood how it was fulfilled (Acts 8:26-35). We can explain the scripture through preparation and divine direction. Preparation can't be enough to explain everything or give answers to all questions, but through the leading of God's Spirit we can do our best. Close relationship with God brings about hearing from Him and receiving the direction.

The Ethiopian steward faithfully responded to the good news and followed Philip to be baptised(Acts 8:36-40). Philip's story reminds us that we may not need a perfect circumstance or ideal setting to preach and win souls for Christ. We can meet people where they are, preaching the good news for repentance, new living and salvation. God equips those who are willing to do the work no matter the constraints. Seize opportunity to do the work as given the grace. Lesson texts: Acts 6:1-7; 8:4-40; 21:8-9.

May God save Nigeria. North East should have been done with untold hardships and damages they have caused to the country.

Daily killings, daily destruction! Haba!

Northerners should organise peace conference to enlighten their people on how to live in peace among themselves and with other tribes.

Faleke might be on the right course for protesting and rejecting cheating.

John the Baptist
God wants those He has called and given the Kingdom's service to faithfully serve Him, help others to find His way and do His will. Luke 7:27 - This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I sent my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The followings are discussed: Incredible Beginning; Powerful Prophetic Preaching, and Martyr's Death; faithful Legacy.

Incredible Beginning: The birth of John the fulfilled prophetic declaration by the angel of God that Zachariah and Elizabeth would bear a son in their old age and should name him John. They were instructed to set the child apart for the work of God as the child would be filled with Holy Spirit right from the womb (Luke 1:5-15).

John was born as spoken by the angel and circumcised on the eighth day. The Spirit of God worked in a way that surprised those who were gathered at the naming. While the family had agreed that the child should be named Zachariah after his father, Elizabeth insisted that he should be named as instructed by the angel. The father who couldn't talk, and probably couldn't hear was given a material to make a sign about the name to be given to the child, he surprised everybody with a sign that confirmed the name the angel had instructed them to give the child (Luke 1:57-66).

Zachariah regained his speech and began to talk immediately he confirmed John as the name of the child. The people were amazed over the miraculous event at John's naming and they spread the miracle, telling others that John was a special child sent for special purpose. He then carried the child and began to prophesy concerning him. He prophesied that John would be the forerunner of the Messiah, the One that would bring salvation to the world (Luke 1: 76-80). John later on grew up in an isolated place where he avoided all distractions and prepared for the ministry.

Powerful Prophetic Preaching: John might have isolated himself to prepare for the unveiling of the New Testament and close the gap of over 400 years that God had stopped sending prophets. John came out with uncompromising message that pierced the soul and called people to repentance. His message pointed to the coming Messiah. John was the messenger, Jesus was his message (Mathew 3:1-6). He baptised with water, but was preparing people to meet the Messiah who would baptise them with the Holy Spirit. Water baptism provides the basis for awareness of sin and repentance. Holy Ghost baptism brings about genuine repentance, faithful living and salvation.

As John continued the preaching for repentance, the two major sects of Judaism, Pharisees and Sadducees mounted pressure against his ministry, but he couldn't be stopped. He rebuked the sect leaders. John condemned the Pharisees for self-righteousness and the Sadducees for rejecting future and final judgement (Matthew 3:7-12). He warned these religious leaders of the coming judgement and reminded them that true repentance was a matter of the heart for people to experience real change. John continued to emphasise that he was simply a forerunner and warned against the danger of rejecting the Messiah.

Martyr's Death; Faithful Legacy: John was arrested and imprisoned by king Herod Antipas for condemning his action. The king divorced his wife and married Herodias, his half brother, Herod Philip's wife. While John was in prison the king held a birthday party at which Herodias' daughter danced to amazement of all guests. King Herod himself was so pleased that he vowed to grant her any request. When the girl sought consent of her mother for the King's promise, she told her to ask for the head of John the Baptist. What a rash promise and wicked demand?

Consider what you can afford to offer without causing any harm in an attempt to keep promise, redeem pledge or vow. It is recorded that Herod was troubled over such request but couldn't break his vow (Matthew 14:1-12). John was consequently executed but he stood strong for the message of repentance and salvation until the end of his life.

Though John died prematurely, he left ongoing legacy. Jesus described him as the greatest of all the prophets (Luke 7:8 ), meaning his ministry closed the separation between the Old and New Covenants, or rather, between the age of the Law and the age of grace. Jesus also said that the least person in His Kingdom is greater than John. This points to greater benefits of participating in His Kingdom than to announce the Kingdom was coming. John' message has formed the everlasting legacy which Christians should hold onto as they respond to God's call to proclaim His kingdom. Lesson texts: Matthew 3:1-12; 14:1-12; Luke 1:5-80; 7:28.

Elisha the Prophet

Elisha answered the call to serve God, obediently followed Elijah and was determined to receive double portion of God's power that worked with him. 2 Timothy 1:9 - (God has) called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace. The followings are discussed: Elisha's Call and Anointing; Miracles with Water and Food, and Final Prophecy; Final Miracle.

Elisha's Call and anointing: Elisha's response to God's calling and anointing showed strong enthusiasm for following God. He bid his parents farewell and organised a feast to celebrate God's calling and express willingness to embark in His service (1 Kings 19:19-21). Elisha was willing to put aside pleasure of the world and do the sacrifice required for the ministry. Answering God's call to take up full ministry or take part in certain services of the Church demands a change of priorities and surrendering personal goals. Elisha's response shows that he valued eternal priorities and found the need to pursue it, (unlike his servant, Gehazi who pursued earthly things and fell for them).

While Elisha was serving Elijah he was persistent in his quest for spiritual anointing for the service. Elijah tried on two occasions to leave Elisha behind when it was getting to the time he would be carried into heavens, but Elisha was still persistent following him. The reason why Elijah was trying to leave Elisha behind and wouldn't want him to witness his transition was not known. Elijah might have struggled with the reality of surrendering his position to a successor. But Elisha's loyalty to Elijah and devotion to God's calling earned him the anointing for service (2 King 2:1-15). It is very important for Christians to practice loyalty in the ministry as it is one of the basic requirements to receive the inspiration and spiritual enablement for God's service.

Elisha had joined Elijah to cross Jordan river in a miraculous way. Elijah struck and parted the river with his cloak, allowing the two men to walk through the river on dry ground. Elisha thus asked for double portion of Elijah's spirit. He did not ask for material thing, but rather a spiritual thing. Elijah's response shows that it is only God that can grant such request - a gift that only God can give. He let Elisha understand that if he was prepared and available for the gift God would grant it. At the moment Elijah was being carried into heaven by a chariot of fire and whirlwind, Elisha held unto his cloak, got a torn piece and in the process Elijah's mantle fell upon him. By doing that Elisha received the power and anointing for God's service. God equips devout leaders with qualities needed for vision and confidence

Miracles with Water and Food: Elisha had started to perform miracles with evidence of the spirit that worked with Elijah when he crossed Jordan river back with similar process he and Elijah crossed the river. He performed another miracle when he intervened for the cursed land of Jordan (Joshua 6:26), healing and restoring the land (2 King 2:19-22). Elisha had compassion for the needs of people by healing their land and source of water. Christians are required to show compassion for others by meeting both spiritual and physical needs.

Elijah performed yet another miracle when he neutralised poison in the food. A kind of poisonous plant had been mixed with other ingredients used to prepare the food. They perceived the harm that could result in death if the food was eaten (2 King 4:38-41). Elisha requested for flour which he added to make the stew fit to eat. The power of God had rested upon Elijah and he was enabled to perform miracles. He used different mediums to do different miracles. The spirit of God changed different mediums Elijah used to agents of healing. God can change ordinary thing to instrument of power and authority in the hands of those serving him in obedience.

Final Prophecy; Final Miracle: The wicked and ungodly king Jehoash of Israel turned to Elijah for divine direction over the battle of Arameans. Elijah responded by a prophecy of victory. He instructed the king about what to do and achieve victory. Though the king obeyed, his response didn't show total commitment. His victory over the enemies was not as much as expected (2 kings: 13:14-19; 22-25). We should respond to God's prophecy with zeal and commitment.

Even after Elijah had died his bones did the last miracle. The dead body of a man thrown into Elisha's tomb came to life and stood up when it touched Elisha's bones (2 King 13:20-21). Elisha prophesied the importance of turning to God. Restoration of life through dead bones indicates that the Spirit of God works on to give and restore lives. Lesson texts: 1kings 19:19-21; 2 kings 2:1-25; 4:38-41; 13:14-25

what is education, no normal human being can perform such task educated or not

if it is a matter of education, the well educated terrorists of the world couldn't have engaged themselves in deadly mission meant for destruction of lives and property. I think it is a curse with the devil's handwriting.

Those terrorists need spiritual revival to live as normal human beings.

I always love your threads. Let me attempt my own again.

Interviewer: Fr, your change came as a surprise to us. Do you think your change has anything to do with your political alignments with the APC?

Fr Mbaka (In Enugu Igbo): Nna amarokwam ife melunu ooo. Anokwolum onwem, ife ozo mfulu bu "Change parish". Okwa so ofu ugboro kam tiri "change". Mana kemgbe Buhari batara na ochichi, changi nka edochaghizim anya. Ogbaram ghari etum siri tunyere onye ochi nama (Cattle Rearer) ma hapu onye ji certificate bu Jonathan. Amaghizikwam ma mmuonso oka jim aru oru ka bu mmou ugwu awusa no na oru ugbua. Ejikwam ogherea na ayo mazi Nnamdi Kanu ka ogbahara. Ugbu a ka odorom anya na Buhari bu onye iberibe na onye egbuwara isi. Biko ugbua, anozim na "Sai Biafra"

Google translation couldn't help much to understand your thought

Anyway Mbaka should have seen the promotion as a thing of joy. Because the more Paul embarked on the journey through the wilderness, the greater he was spiritual enabled for greater tasks ahead. In the end he could say.... I have fought a good fight... finish the course ... kept the faith and going for the crown.


Don't know why Revd Mbaka was troubled. Oyinbos who brought the gospel put all rigors aside, did most difficult works inside jungles of Nigeria and now we could boast and comfortably sit in Cathedrals they built with their sweat.

I thought they said boko haram was a political propaganda. When has it become a reality?

Govt has questions to answer!

emmanuel1990:
If we must be honest to ourselves, father Mbaka was the one u laid the foundation of that biilding till the finishing, father Mbaka has over 2000 people who are on his pay roll........... even if they must tranfer him, why must they ask him to serve under is jenior priest............ if na u, i go happi?

yeah if he has done that in one place for years, he should be moved to open up new places with the same gift. Those he has taught the way of God and living as people of God have no problem again about understanding God and doing his will. Once he has achieved that in one place, he must be moved to places where people are still living in darkness, doing wicked things. That is Christ's command for all ministers. As hot as some parts of the north is hot for spreading gospel, Christians there are still committed while ministers are doing the kingdom's work with zeal.

Jesus often said he didn't come to search for secured sheep, but the lost ones. The mandate is reach out to sinners and bring them to God.

Revd. Mbaka ... minister of God or politician? He should have been interested in opening up new mission fields in places that are dark to gospel. He should have seen it a thing of joy to go and build new Churches from the scratch instead of preferring to stay in fully established parishes all his life.

The mandate is go to all nations and preach the gospel.

Long way to go and get to the promised land. May God help Nigeria

EFCC must be probed... seems like they got so much money from the indicted persons in the ongoing probe into arms scandal, and may not know what to use the money recovered for other than to commit crimes with it!

Can't be any surprise... Abomination in high places, even of worship as Jesus has described attitude of fake prophets, priests and teachers of the word on the later days.

Mathew 24 gives a good description of such practice

The North will always be after Jonathan, trying to put the blame on him for their failure and complex instead of finding a way to move on. Why all of them just want his head as if doing so will solve problems they have created for long? Many living northerner politicians are somewhere enjoying their loots, yet they don't see anything wrong in them. Hypocrisy!!! I don't say Jonathan shouldn't be jailed if found guilty, but what of the northern politicians who stole so much and still enjoying their loots? Targeting only Jonathan would amount to an act of hypocrisy. For how long will they continue to bad mouth him, presenting him as their problem or problem of Nigeria, instead of seeing through their own problem.

The current government must sit tight and deliver all it promised before coming onboard, we are being fed up with one excuse after the other.

johnmark1234:
see them so IBB Abubaka and Obasanjo should leave and get away whit there billions. touch Jonathan and see 'What will happen. Monkey

They should just arrest Jonathan once, Buhari need him badly to expose other politicians including those working with him presently who are involved in mismanagement of public funds. He need him to expose and seize giant investments and projects individual politicians have acquired since 1960. Those who have died shouldn't escape it. He must get everything acquired through public funds back.

Idrismusty97:
So long as it is used effectively no problem. By the end of this administration, After all the loopholes are properly blocked, TSA is effectively utilized, Wastage eliminated and our Tax system is in standard like in developed Nations. Nigeria will come to appreciate and realized how much more revenue we could have been making yearly.

but that kind of revenue would be called tax or what? Something else must have happened if government couldn't find other way of making money other resorting to fraud. For Christ sake how can you be satisfied that your transaction through the bank will cost you N50 whenever it is N1000 and above. So some people can be satisfied with that kind of illegal deduction.

when will the Fulani stop their evil, attack, killing and destruction?

Abigail the Wise
Wise person will think deeply and make right choices. 1 Samuel 25:3 - She (Abigail) was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man Nabal was churlish and evil in his doings: The followings are discussed: Harsh and Worthless Nabal; Intelligent and Discerning Abigail, and Nabal's Demise; Abigail Ascent

Harsh and Worthless Nabal: An individual can be described as being good or bad by the attitude and behaviour he or she exhibits. Nabal was referred to as a worthless person as a result of wicked response to the needs of others. David had cared for Nabal before, but when he was in need and turned to Nabal, his request was turned down. Nabal didn't just turn down David's reasonable request, he rebuked those who brought the message (1 Samuel 25:2-9). David had instructed the men he sent to follow the rule of friendship and display courtesy required for approval from others. Rather than accepting the friendship greetings, Nabal acted as harsh and irresponsible person. Nabal wasn't like his wife who is described as beautiful and intelligent woman.

Nabal could have been expected to show hospitality and exhibit good character if he is traced to his ancestor Caleb, but he wasn't like Caleb. His rude and harsh response to a reasonable request was so annoying that David wanted to destroy his household( 1 Samuel 25:10-17). Without wasting time David had mobilised his men to go and confront Nabal. But one of Nabal's servants who understood the implication of his behaviour and the consequences it would bring upon the household went to Abigail and explained what had transpired to her. He believed she would remedy the situation by her good character. Abigail response showed she acted wisely. Foolish people often act without thinking about the consequences, but wise people value prudence in making decisions. Wisdom produces responses that honour God.

Intelligent and Discerning Abigail: Abigail's response showed that she applied wisdom to avert serious devastation on the way to Nabal's household (1 Samuel 25:18-31). She approached David in Humility, affirming Nabal's wrong doing, and distancing herself from such actions. She displayed good manner of approach and expressed good character that caused David to change his mind and stop the revenge mission. She also reminded David what God said concerning his house, that David should endure, trust in God, and watch as God would fight and promote him. She ended her speech with a request that David should remember her when God had blessed him. Abigail's speech and action demonstrated exceptional wisdom, knowledge and self-control. Her good character and wisdom can be associated with close relationship with God. We should turn to God for guidance and divine direction.

David recognised Abigail's counsel and thanked God for sending her to him. He discovered that her action affirmed the will of God. She had intervened and averted disaster that would have ensued and caused suffering and losses if David had lashed out in anger (1 Samuel 25:32-35). Wise counsel saves lives. Christians should follow the example of David to embrace wise counsel and resolve issues before they raise dust. To do this, we must be ready to accept wisdom from others. Accepting wisdom from others requires humility.

Nabal's Demise; Abigail's Ascent: Nabal's action resulted in his death. He was holding a lavish banquet when Abigail returned. She could not discussed all that had transpired that night because Nabal was heavily drunk. When Abigail confessed what she had done Nabal's heart failed and ten days later he died (1 Samuel 25:36-39). David interpreted Nabal's death as an act of God's vengeance. Nabal was troubled and suffered heart attack when he heard Abigail's report. Our attitudes and behaviours can affect our health. A person filled with hatred and anger will often be disturbed emotionally and spiritually. He will also create and suffer physical problems.

Abigail's wisdom was rewarded when David asked her to become his wife. She was eventually united with the person that would become the king. Humility and good character paved the way of honour for her. Wisdom brings good rewards, and wisest decision is a decision made to follow Christ and walk in the light of God. Lesson texts: 1 Samuel 25:1- 42.
