THE REAL CROSSOVER
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. Jakes got me deep in thought and answered a question I had so often asked myself. What is the big deal about the clock moving from

JESUS SAID “FOLLOW ME.” In secondary school a teacher once told us a story about how we go through life with a “bag”. The different experiences we pass through may warrant us to put things into or take things out of our “bags”. Life happens and we may have to go through many experiences and gather things in our “bags”.

GOD IS WORKING OUT HIS PLAN. Once again the season of good cheer is upon us and I began to wonder how Mary and Joseph might have felt when they had to take the long, tedious and very uncomfortable journey all the way to Bethlehem just because Caesar wanted a census. I mean, they could have thought to give it

DO NOT FORGET How many times do we forget to do what we said we would do? How many times do we forget even things that are important to us or our loved ones? Sometimes we forget to keep our word, we forget to return calls or emails, we forget to visit our elderly relatives, we even forget birthdays and

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.

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

MAINTENANCE CULTURE A couple of months ago, we purchased a power generating set. Anybody who is familiar with these things would know that they need to be handled with care. Maintenance is the key. Otherwise you run the risk of being without electricity when you need it most. Well, exactly a week ago, Tuesday the 31st October, 2017, to be

HOLD TIGHT………..DON’T LET GO! A couple of days ago, I was out shopping in downtown Lagos, Nigeria. Anyone who is familiar with that shopping area knows how chaotic it is most days. It was also a very hot afternoon and alleyways were streaming and teeming with crowds of men and women buying and selling any manner of merchandise from pots
