GOD OUR HELP Our elders in Yoruba land (the predominant ethnic group in South Western Nigeria) have a saying that goes like this “Alanu ko ni won e” which literally means “Helpers will not be far from you”. That is my wish and prayer for us all, in Jesus name. We all need help along the way regardless of whom

RESCUE THE PERISHING When the death of a loved one occurs, we are likely to find ourselves thinking about them, about the times we shared together, whether or not we did enough for them, did we tell them we loved them, did we show them that we cared for them, did we visit them often enough, did we give

THE REAL CROSS OVER “It is NOT the movement of the clock that produces the Newness of Life; it is the movement in your mind”. Bishop T. D. Jake This quote from Bishop T.D.

Have you ever wanted a fresh start in life? Some people hope to get a new start by moving to a different city or state.

NOT TO THE SWIFT My very pretty, long-limbed niece has an impressive athletic profile. She was an under-13 champion for High Jump in South East England just a few years ago.  I very fondly refer to her as “The Swift Leg”. As we were celebrating her birthday a couple of weeks ago, the word “swift” kept reverberating in my mind.

WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY In 1989, I watched the Grammy Awards Ceremony on a VCR that someone had recorded from TV. There was no cable television then!!! I was pleasantly surprised that there was a category for “Gospel”. And the song that won that Grammy was titled “The Lord’s Prayer”; a song that I never forgot because it was made up
