PLEASE , FORGET THE REGRET At a time like this, when we find ourselves in a lock down as a a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are left with a lot of time on our hands. There is nothing wrong with that. Some have not had time off work and from their very busy schedules for

YES! GOD HAS ALLOWED IT. There was once a favoured son who was distinguished by a coat of many colours. He knew he was loved more than his brothers and that his future was very bright  but why was he sitting in prison after first being sold into slavery by his own blood brothers and then being implicated by the

THE POWER OF OBEDIENCE In a little while, Christians all over the world will be observing the Lenten season for the next forty days (when we will fast food and water till 6pm; excluding Sundays) [and perhaps fast festivities too] and we will be expected to be in a mood of sober reflection that should lead to repentance from

THE MEMORY OF THE JUST IS BLESSED Once again I have the opportunity to share fond memories of a remarkable man, my father ARCHITECT SAMUEL OLUYEMI  JAIYESIMI; of blessed memory. It’s twelve years already that he went to be with the Lord.
