[b]MAKURDI— Benue State Chairman of Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, Mr. Baba Agan, has faulted the impeachment threat by the House of Representatives against President Goodluck Jonathan, advising that the lawmakers should first purge themselves of corruption.
Fielding questions from newsmen in Makurdi, yesterday, Agan said the plot by members of the House smacks of hidden agenda and not what they want Nigerians to believe.
He said: “The way I see the whole issue, it goes beyond what they are saying. I am sure the non-implementation of the budget is not the real issue. I strongly believe that it goes beyond that.
“It is either for political or selfish interest that they are doing what they are presently doing.”
Agan recalled that corruption under democratic governance started with the members of the National Assembly, who under the past administration of former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, demanded huge sums of money as furniture and other allowances.
He said the practise later extended to the state Houses of Assembly and councilors at the local government level.
“I advise that the House members should first purge themselves of all the allegations of corruption hanging on their necks before embarking on this ill-fated assignment that will serve no useful purposeto the average Nigerian,” Agan added.[/b]

Most Christians remain far from the kingdom of God because we still believe pre-eminently in sacrifices.
Every Christian expects to go to heaven. But surprisingly, Jesus’ kingdomdynamics predicts different. Jesus says: “The last will be first, and the first last.” (Matthew 20:16).
Christians are today’s first who will be tomorrow’s last. Jesus says furthermore: “The sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:12). Christians are today’s sons of the kingdom.


Believing a lie


The Jews were convinced their place in God’s kingdomwas secure as sons of Abraham. But paradoxically, their place was in jeopardy for precisely that very reason. (Matthew 3:8-10).
The kingdom of heaven is not prepared for the sons of Abraham. In order to inherit eternal life, the sons of Abraham have to forsake Abraham, their father, and become sons of God. (Matthew 19:29).
Not understanding kingdomdynamics, Paul says: “All Israel will be saved.” (Romans 11:26). But in truth, no Israelite can be saved. The kingdom of Goddoes not recognise Israel. For an Israelite to be saved, he has to be born again intoan entirely new nation; the “little flock” of God. (Luke 12:32). Jesus proclaimed God’s verdict on Israel: “Thekingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.” (Matthew 21:43).
Alas, Christians face a similar predicament today. We declare we are saved bythe atoning sacrifice of Jesus. However, this very belief will lead to our condemnation. God despises sacrifices. He says:“Whoever sacrifices a bull islike one who kills a man, and whoever offers a lamb,like one who breaks a dog’s neck. They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations.” (Isaiah 66:3-4).


The temple cult


In biblical Israel, you were deemed righteous if you participated in the sacrificial rituals. However, Jesus was always found among “sinners;” those ostracised for their non-participation in the temple cult. When queried about this anomaly, Jesus’ said he has no interest in anyone who trusts in rituals. He is only interestedin those who rely exclusively on God’s mercy. He declared: “Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ ForI did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” (Matthew 9:13).
Most Christians have refused to learn what Jesus means. Jesus knew some would later maintain his death was a sacrifice for sins. Therefore, he recommended a study of the scriptures in order to controvert such thinking. God says repeatedly through his prophets that he desires mercy and not sacrifice. (Hosea 6:6).
He says through Jeremiah: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat. For I did not speak toyour fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.” (Jeremiah 7:21-22).
Indeed, speaking through David, Jesus promised God he would not give sacrificesand offerings on his incarnation. He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; my ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. Then I said, “Behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:6-.
However, the ears of most Christians remain closed. We fail to recognise the voice of the Good Shepherdin that messianic psalm. Weinsist on sacrifices; what Jesus plainly says God neither desires nor requires. Therefore, God says: “These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations. I also will choose affliction for them.” (Isaiah 66:3-4).

ypzilanti: He would not be looking like a loser right now if he had held his horses and sent only monetary assistance to his doomed candidate.

If GEJ knew all along that Oshiomhole was an 'outstanding performer' and 'dynamic, focused and purposeful' , why did he allow his Vice President Sambo and his aide Anenih to go to Edo State and try to drum up support for a PDP challenger in a PDP traumatised state?

Rubbish.
