YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD.
YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD! Across the road from my office is this ongoing construction. I believe it is an office complex and it is MASSIVE. It is imposing. It looks like it will be a major landmark when it is completed. And, this project belongs to a seventy year old woman. Yes you are reading me right. A woman

LET JUDAH GO FIRST Growing up in the Anglican Church was a blessing. More than anything else, I loved the hymns. It was a delight to get to church early and watch the procession as the cross bearer, the choir, the verger and then the priests sang a processional hymn as they came into the sanctuary in their flowing

SHINE ON US LORD The Aaronic Blessing found in Numbers 6: 24 – 26 is a very popular benediction. It is also quite power packed as far as benedictions go. “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.” Numbers 6:

GOD LOVES US ALL THE TIME In the real world, (not in the carefully curated, filtered, make believe, picture perfect world of social media), people have real issues. There are struggles on a daily basis. People are barely getting by. Needs are outstanding and do not look like they will be met anytime soon. Bills are piling up, rent is

HE KEEPS HIS PROMISES. As parents we often make promises to our children about gifts we will give them especially on birthdays and holidays like Christmas. Sometimes we want to surprise them and other times they know what it will be but either way they look forward to it with excitement. From the minute we tell them about these gifts,

GOD SURROUNDS US, EVEN NOW! My name is “OLUYINKA”, and it is a beautiful name even if I have to say so myself. “OLUYINKA” means the Lord is round about me or the Lord surrounds me. I do not know exactly why my father (of blessed memory) chose to call me that; perhaps before my birth, he had an experience

WE ARE NOT COWARDS! WE STAND. Last week, I stayed away from work for two days and instructed my colleagues to do the same. The reason for this was because I had read a few articles about a planned civil unrest that was bound to get out of hand and that we should go stock up on about two months

GOD OUR REFUGE & FORTRESS. If you are outside when it is raining and you are getting soaked by the rain, you most likely would not wait out in the rain to get dry before seeking shelter, you would seek shelter in order to get dry. Many times we do the opposite in our relationship with God, we want to

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS “Keep up the good work” is an idiom in the English language used to praise and encourage. So I come to encourage us today to keep up the good works we have been doing. Whether our good works have been standing in the gap or interceding for Nigeria, whether it’s been giving to and supporting
