Most times, we refer to ourselves as brothers, sisters, friends, colleagues, close pals, what have you. But do we really harbor the genuine love for each other and respect the limits of privacy and boundaries?
Church
Questions on my Mind.
Hi Guys, quite a while I had something up.
While meditating this morning, got a message from a gentleman I quite respect a lot, Praise Fowowe, foremost sexpert and family life consultant.
69 Truths You Will NEVER Hear About Roman Crucifixion!!!
1. Crucifixion was invented by the Persians in 300 BC, and perfected by the Romans in 100 BC.

Taking Responsibility
How often do we take responsibility for our actions.
We live in a society and culture where the buck is passed and the blame traded off to someone else.
Our failures, shortfalls and inabilities are as a result of someone or something somewhere responsible for it.
Our success is ours, our failures is not ours, but theirs.
We Are All Thirsty…….
Sometime last week, i took a rare day off work and went visiting a close a close family member. He was on his way for a prayer meeting and he invited me along.
We got there, the meeting was almost over so he ran in to join the prayer….and when i got there my spirit did not settle in for the meeting so i stepped outside to wait out the meeting. Then it came to me….there are several churches, mosques, religious organisations and several religious programs all over the place and still no end to the seemingly mirage of problems they all seek in these places.
Much Ado About Sex…….
Its quite interesting, the much interest and passion sex invokes in people and the general reaction to it.
Sex, despite the times we are in now, still seems muted in in this part of our world but atimes veiled in conversation unlike the first world nations where its the norm and without restraint.
Even at that, while our conversations regarding sex may be “veiled” the manner in which its invading our society and sub-concious is highly alarming and the rate at which we get involved in it, either physical in the act itself or mental..is something else. We are in a world saturated by sex…images, sound, smell….name it..it all envelopes us all round. like a thick fog.
Jesus is weak….
Many of you will wonder why this absurd title…but its the current reality of our faith, what I have come to notice and observe over a while now.
Jesus is weak when we no more believe that the mere mention of his name brings the whole universe to its knees in worship but we add prefixes to make it sound more powerful ie, in the mighty name of….
Jesus is weak when we believe praying in the name of the Holy Spirit and Jesus gives us sure-fire that our prayers will be heard. Not only that, give roles and acts to the Holy Spirit and adjectives that was never mentioned in the scriptures nor used. ie, In the Mighty name of Jesus! Holy Ghost fire! Power of the Holy Ghost! Holy Spirit Fire! Thunder of the Holy Spirit!
Jesus is weak when we believe we have to wake up God very early in the morning with a loud megaphone and speakers and beg him to favor us today and waking up the whole neighbourhood in the process. Wonder why Jesus himself had to go quietly to a place and commune with his Father early in the morning.
