Ecclesiastes  9:11 states “... that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all”. It is clear as the word of God reveals, that running the heavenly race does not require the acquisition of a skill in a selected profession neither is the understanding of wealth and its efficient utilization, the prerequisite for advancement of this journey. In the book of Hebrews, chapter 12, verse 1, it is written, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Running the race mentioned in this verse is not the same as running a physical race. Rather, it is the means by which a qualified believer can enter into the heavenly Kingdom of God to dwell in his glory that never ...

In the world today, many people believe that wealth essentially replicates success and happiness. They work tirelessly to accumulate wealth, believing that having more money will make them more comfortable and secure. This does not seem to hold the truth which God's word reveals. The Holy Bible warns us against the deceitfulness of riches. The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (KJV). This well-known passage warns us that the desire for wealth can lead us away from God's plan for our lives. When we become obsessed with acquiring money and possessions, we can easily lose sight of important aspects of God's directives. Thereby, going astray into ungodliness. Craving after material riches primarily makes our focus to shift from serving God to gratification of the flesh and its desires. Instead of being c...

The word of God in Proverbs 10:23 says “It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.” Here we are exposed to the idea of a foolish person. This individual who is usually submerged in foolishness takes pleasure in behaving badly, while a wise person avoids causing mayhem. Perusing the Holy Bible, we find that there are many examples of individuals who exhibited foolish behaviour and the consequences that followed were grievous. In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon describes the futility of chasing after pleasure and material possessions while stating that all of it is meaningless in the grand scheme of life. The delicacy of this thought is preconceived by Proverbs 21:20, which reads “There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.” This further explains that foolish behaviours lead to financial instability and ruin in life. As the book of Proverbs expresses the quirks and dangers of foolishne...

Marketing is a dynamic and ever-evolving profession. For companies to remain afloat the business tide, they must confront the circumstances arising from industrialization and commercialization with optimum agility, especially one that is apt to affront technological trends. Ensuring every opportunity made available by time to deploy marketing skills is germane to marketers, as it allows them to promote their products or services in a way that resonates acceptance within the intuitive perception of consumers. However this may sound, it foretells that companies have to utilize the best mechanism to maximize the profitability of an opportunistic mark. The Holy Bible is filled with the wisdom that charges individuals to seize every opportunity made available to convey the glories of God and make the most out of them. In Ecclesiastes 9:10 of the King James Version, it says, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,...

From time immemorial even until eternity, God's Wisdom remaineth Ad Infinitum. Its potency has been demonstrated in divergent ways which happen to be coherent with His existential truth. The uniqueness of this infinite wisdom of God has been manifested through the creation of the universe. From the intricate design of the human body to the vast expanse of the Cosmopolitan physic of the various constellations, the ingenuity of God is invariably evident in every visible and invisible phenomena. Genesis 1:1-2 states that, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Even at the very beginning, it is perceived that the diverse and creative nature of God, brought forth light, water, land, and all the creatures inhabiting the earth. One of the hallmarks of God's ingenuity is the diversity of life. In Psalm 104:24, it is...

Humility is a virtue that should not be overlooked by people desiring to make impact in today's society. It tends to thrive in the heart of individuals who are not neck deep into selfishness and personal aggrandizement. Wherever it is celebrated, it does not engender strive and hatred but rather encourages its cultivation in the spirit of man. Thereby, unifying humanity with The Maker of All Things Good. Humility is an essential quality for anyone cherishing to live a life of purpose and meaning. As we explore further into its details, we will discover the importance of nurturing the virtue of humility and how we can do so effectively while drawing knowledge from the teachings of the Holy Bible. How Can We Define Humility? Humility has been defined as the quality or state of being free from egoistic perceptions. When one is driven by a modest view of his/her own relevance, such an individual is regarded as being humble. Humility is the opposite of pride. It is not self opinionated....

For a believer, prayer is an essential aspect of our daily routine. It is one of the most effective ways of communicating with God. When we pray to God, we express gratitude to him and seek his guidance. Although there are many ways to pray in the world, the only most powerful and intriguing method of praying is through the name of Jesus Christ(Acts 4:12). The name of Jesus is more than just a word or a label. It is the only authorized name that confers hope, grace, and salvation on all who believe. When we pray through Jesus’ name, we are in agreement with his divinity as a constituent member of the trinity. Calling upon his name releases a powerful aura. By doing this, we tap into the infinite source of love and compassion. The name Jesus Christ is an embodiment of authority just as we could see during his life time ministry on Earth(Mark 4:39). There are several reasons why praying through Jesus’ name is so powerful. Firstly, it helps us to focus our minds and hearts on God. This is...

It is easy to fall into this trap of self-doubt and self-criticism, and it may seldomly be difficult to escape from it. But what if I told you that you do not have to measure up to anyone's standards? That you are perfect just the way God made you? Will this satiate your reasonability?

God created you in His perfection and nothing can outwit his majestic creation lodged in you. He has made you the exact way He wants you to be and by trusting in him dependently, your strengths will obviously be renewed effortlessly as all your weaknesses becomes infinitesimal, a perfection of His glory in your life...

Over the years, God’s Power has been the generic source of faith in him. It has also been a unique source of inspiration to many people across all ages and cultures. The indispensability of God’s Power has always been understood as an essential and vital aspect of our lives. The belief that without the intervention of God’s Power, achieving our most desired goals will not be possible, is one that empowers with the potentials for doing exploits.  Those trusting in the indispensability of God’s Power are forged with the nothing short of the universal force that brought creation into existence. The fact that God created everything in existence from nothing with his power, confers a high level of knowledge for understanding this mysterious event. This cosmic creation demonstrates the immense power of God and his essential role in bringing both the visible and invisible things into being. We must understand that the Power of God goes beyond just the creation of the universe. It is an in...

 A virtuous woman is a rare gem distinguished from the glittering stones of our modern society. She is an embodiment of admiration which depict an outstanding quality when compared with other women. She as a woman of integrity, honesty, and humility. She never lags behind when it comes to displaying these unique characteristics. She is always known for the value she adds to her family, her work, and her community at large. She is a woman who is dexterous enough to proportionately manage her roles and responsibilities with ease. Recognizing the value of a virtuous woman is of greater importance as it helps in appreciating the contributions of diligent women to the betterment of our society. Women have been marginalized especially by those only promoting the patriarchal traditions as the the best while neglecting that of the matriarchs. This tend to deprive the female folk from benefits accruing to them in many areas of life, including the workplace, political spheres, and even in so...

Purpose is a word that is often tossed around and sometimes misunderstood. For some, it may seem unattainable, while for others, it is the driving force of their lives. However, it is the latter that gears in the right perspective. Waking up to a purpose-driven life involves understanding the reason for your existence and realizing what you can offer to the world around you. Discovering one’s purpose may not be a one-time task that you can tick off your to-do list. Instead, it is a continuous process that involves the realization of one’s feebleness without Christ, understanding the clarity of God’s instructions, and taking concrete steps to pragmatically utilize the information conferred upon one’s awareness in a wise manner. To wake up to a purpose-driven life, you must first reflect on Christ’s teachings and his passion for souls to be won into God’s Kingdom, meditate on the essential values that he tirelessly inculcated in his disciples during his life time ministry, practicall...

Success may be a destination to many but it is certainly a journey of achievement to brave hearted individuals. It requires dedication, perseverance, and hard work to achieve excellence and become a master in any field of choice. In today’s fast-paced and competitive world, everyone strives for success. However, only a few can truly master the principles of success to evolve from mediocrity to proficiency. The first and foremost principle of success is to establish the aim for embarking on the journey by setting distinct and actualize goals. A goal serves as a road-map that directs you to the actualization of your desired ambition. Without a structural plan, there will be no direction and you will be left to wander aimlessly thereby wasting precious time and efforts on frivolity. Goals give you a sense of purpose and motivate you to strive harder towards achieving them. The second principle of success is to be consistent, persistent and resilient. Obstacles and setbacks are on...

 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Romans 8:37). Life generally is littered with different species of challenges. These challenges do not possess the ability to weigh a believer down out-rightly. This is because the believer has Jesus Christ as his/her spiritual genie that enables the capability to soar above them all. The Saviour Jesus Christ, guaranteed our victory and as the truth personified he revealed before departing this world after resurrection that the Spirit of Truth will be sent to comfort us. This Spirit from God does renege in his delegated function which entails comforting us and feeding us with the Peace and Joy that is sufficiently abundant in the presence of the Most High. As we live in the victory that Christ's resurrection brings, we are expected to continuously abide in Him and also make provision for him to abide in us. Just as John 15:4-5, assures us of fruitfulness, his word in chapter 16:33 also educ...

 The term “Godly wife” may seem archaic in today’s society, where women are encouraged to pursue their dreams and aspirations outside the injunctions of God. But when it comes to Kingdom life, it is a valid norm. The idea of being a Godly wife, however marginal it may seem, goes beyond mere submissiveness. It conjugates championing the course of Christ to bring into fulfillment the purposes of godly living basically to frontier the unique difference. Instead of carrying out daily obligations casually, it is about living each moment purposefully to reveal the genuine life hidden in Christ. Living a purpose-driven life for her, is one that is in alignment with God’s plans for us. As a Godly wife, the noble character of integrity, kindness, humility, and wisdom is always dominant. No Godly woman will be recognized without possessing the desire to serve others. A Godly woman puts the needs of her family and community before her own desires. She understands that her role as a wife spans...

 The Holy Bible teaches us that true wisdom is a gift from God. In the book of Proverbs, we are reminded that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). As Christians, we are called to seek wisdom and understanding so that we can live according to God’s will.   The beehive is a beautiful example of God’s wisdom in action. Each bee recognize their role and works tirelessly to contribute to the greater good of the hive. They operate the hive in perfect harmony, with each bee contributing its quota part to ensure the survival and success of the colony.   Just like bees, we must work together to achieve God’s will for our lives especially as members of the body of Christ. Individually, we each have unique talents and gifts that we must use to serve God and humanity. By working together in harmony, we can accomplish great things for the kingdom of God.   Furthermore, bees are known for their tireless work ethic. They are usually found i...

 As believers, we are filled with the consciousness of the Holy Bible being God's truth and that it is the source of all knowledge and wisdom regarding the nature and will of God. However, the question is, are we truly exploring the nectar in this truth from God's benevolence or merely skimming through it?

It is like a living spring of knowledge with an unfathomable  source, where deeper refreshing insights are discovered at every adventure. And the best part is that it is available to everyone, regardless of your financial s...

 Eloquence just as it describes the art of fluent persuasiveness especially when it comes to speaking or expressing oneself in writing, has been revered as a proficient skill throughout history. From the oratory comportment of ancient Greek philosophers to the accolade arousing speeches of great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., eloquence remains an integral aspect of human discourse. However, eloquence is not limited to the grandeur of political affiliations or religious conjugations. It can be witnessed in trivial conversations, in the way people express themselves, and in their selection of words.   The menagerie of eloquence is vast and diverse, and there are many elements that contribute to its structural composition. Voice modulation, codified intonation, diphthongized curvature and its inflection all play vital roles in making a speech or conversation more scintillating. The use of metaphors, similes, allusions and alliterations scours to reveal the depth and ric...
